  • Rural site on a dairy farm 20 minutes' walk from Caernarfon
  • Half an hour from Snowdonia, Anglesey and the Llŷn Peninsula
  • Well-kept amenities including an accessible wetroom
Snowdonia National Park, Anglesey’s beaches, the lovely Llŷn Peninsula… if you fancy taking in lots of the local faves on your north-west Wales hols, take a look at handily placed Maes Carafanau Hendy Caravan Park. From this relaxed rural spot on a working dairy farm it’s around half an hour by car to all of the above, and a 20-minute stroll to historic Caernarfon, famed for its UNESCO-listed castle but also a popular place for poking about in the town’s independent shops and cafés. The Welsh Highland Railway and the Lôn Eifion cycle path pass by the site too, giving guests easy access to all sorts of ways to roam. Those in search of heaps of on-site activities will have to look elsewhere, as the Joneses have chosen to keep their place as peaceful as poss, focusing on doing the essential amenities to top standards. The large pitches have space to spread about a bit with access to electrical hookups and drinking water, and the top-notch bathroom facilities have hot showers, an accessible wetroom… and hairdryers for those days when the Welsh weather has messed with your mop.

Liked: Quiet site next to farm. Plenty of space between pitches. Tidy and clean. Toilet block only had one shower in men and womens area. This was not a problem for us but I imagine when it's busy there could be a queue. Facilities were spotless.

Liked: A beautiful well maintained site. Very peaceful and a great place to relax. Good sized pitches which have electric hookup, water and drainage point. On site facilities include washing machine, tumble dryer, toilets, disabled friendly wet room, showers, outdoor pot wash area etc. All kept to a high standard of cleanliness. Picnic benches scattered around the site which were great. The views from the site are stunning! Highly recommended! Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked: This is a hidden gem of a campsite. Gorgeous location, the highland steam train in just down the way, you hear the train toot every few hours. Plenty of space between pitches so you're not on top of one another. Such a peaceful site, not too far to walk to caernarfon itself. On a working farm so you get to see all the animals (bonus for the kids). Greenery in the centre of the site for kids to play and the facilities are always spotless. Have stayed here a few times now and it doesn't dissapoint.

Disliked: Absolutely nothing!

Local attractions

Start by taking a stroll into Caernarfon to see the mighty waterfront castle, a huge and well-preserved place with lots to see and plenty of puzzles and activities for the tiddlers; it’s worth having a look around the Royal Welch Fusiliers Regimental Museum while you’re here too. The Welsh Highland Railway runs steam train rides from Caernarfon: grab a spot at the station to watch them depart or get all aboard for the 25-mile ride through the mountains to Porthmadog. If you prefer to travel under your own steam, there’s easy access to the scenic 12-mile Lôn Eifion cycle path, a hard-surfaced path that skirts the edge of Snowdonia for some great views and village visits. For days by the seaside, cross the Menai Suspension Bridge to Anglesey – there are some lovely beaches on the island (Traeth Cymyran, 40 minutes away, is perhaps the most popular) – and the excellent Anglesey Sea Zoo, home to a seahorse breeding programme and the Lobster Hatchery of Wales. Head south instead and it’s around a half-hour drive to Pwlheli on the Llŷn Peninsula, for more splendid beaches as well as wildlife-watching boat trips.
