  • Peaceful tourer site with Irish Sea views on a Gwynedd working farm
  • Five minutes’ drive from the Welsh Coast Path and Porth Towyn beach
  • Well-maintained grass site with shops and a pub in five minutes’ drive
Sitting on a working farm with spectacular views over the northern coastline of the Llŷn Peninsula – you can spy Anglesey and the mountains of North Wales on the horizon – Gwynedd’s Pwllgoed Caravan Site is a top spot for anyone looking for jaunts along the Wales Coast Path or wanting to run around on sandy beaches. Cyclists and walkers will be pleased to read that Pwllgoed is surrounded by quiet country lanes with wide verges, making them safe for family rambles and bike rides. The nearest sandy beach is Porth Towyn (five minutes’ drive), and if you’re super lucky and super quiet when you visit, there’s a good chance of spotting seals and dolphins playing in the waves. From there you can also access the Llŷn Coastal Path (part of the Wales Coast Path). The nearest essentials store is in the village of Tudweiliog (five minutes), and if you’re after a break from cooking, it’s also got a friendly family pub. Back at base camp, guests are in pole position for smashing sunsets over the Irish Sea on clear nights, and you’ll easily spot South Stack lighthouse on Anglesey after dusk. There are just a few touring pitches spread over a one-acre camping field, each with access to electric hook-ups, water taps, a washing-up area and recycling, as well as a toilet and shower block with a large family-sized shower room. Dogs are welcome, but please keep them under control as livestock grazes in the surrounding fields. They should be on a lead at all times when on site, and exercised away from the pitches.

What customers say

This is a highly recommended, peaceful small farm site offering stunning coastal and countryside views. Pitches are level and well-maintained. Visitors consistently praise the immaculate, brand-new toilet and shower facilities. Owners are described as exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and helpful, providing local tips. The location is ideal for exploring the Llyn Peninsula, with a short walk to a good local pub and village amenities, and within easy reach of beaches and coastal paths. EE mobile users generally experience good signal. Some minor points noted include the single-track access road, lack of Wi-Fi, and limited mobile signal for some networks.

Liked What an absolute hidden gem!

Coastal views, clean, tidy pitches. Spotless facilities and a charming hostess.

A perfect little out-of-the way spot.

Disliked Nothing. Not a dislike, but be aware the track in, is narrow single track with passing spots.

Liked Quiet, well kept clean site and a friendly and welcoming owner. Plenty of walks in the area. Only a 20 minute walk to the local pub which served good food. Would recommend and will certainly stay again when next in the area. If you have an EE mobile contract you should be in luck as we enjoyed a 5G signal throughout our stay.

David W.

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Peaceful location
Excellent shower and toilet facilities
Being the only people on site
A little too isolated for me with only one shop locally (a 2 mile round trip l)
Water and electricity hook up easy

Disliked No Wi-Fi , really is an essential amenity especially when phone signal is non existent, this could prove challenging for families.

Some additional lighting would prove useful for people who arrive later in the day and/or leave earlier.

Cross the Menai Strait and head into the Isle of Anglesey (an hour), where you can admire one of Britain’s largest murals at National Trust - Plas Newydd House and Gardens, visit the Butterfly House at Pili Palas Nature World, or go back to Neolithic times at the Bryn Celli Ddu Burial Chamber.
