  • Family-friendly smallholding in a rural location on the Llŷn Peninsula
  • Spectacular views towards the peak of Moelypenmaen
  • Lots of open space for kids to play
Get back to nature among spectacular surroundings with a stay at Gwynedd's Rhos Y Foel, in the middle of the Llŷn Peninsula a short drive from more lush landscapes at Snowdonia National Park. Set with views towards the rocky peak of Moelypenmaen, Rhos Y Foel is a small and family-friendly site, with a wide swathe of open space on which the kids can let loose. Well-behaved dogs are welcome. Rhos Y Foel is a level and almost completely flat site – no uncomfy bumpy groundsheet nights here – and has a facilities block with hot running water. Off-ground barbecues are allowed and firepits are available on site: for supplies, the local village is Boduan and the shops and services of market town Pwllheli are a few miles away.

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked Spacious site with very clean facilities. It was quiet when we turned up, and even though more campers arrived during the week, we never felt like we were crammed next to anyone. The toilets and showers were lovely, too.
Was very easy to find our pitch from the on site map with our name on, and we were greeted while setting everything up. Everyone we spoke to from the site was very helpful and friendly.

We’ll be back!

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked Absolutely nothing to complain about the site is set in the Welsh countryside with stunning views and so peaceful children had a fantastic time away from ipads phones etc running around playing together and with the other kids was beautiful hearing them all laughing screaming and being free ❤️ The owners are fantastic nothing is to much for them to help with they keep the land well maintained hot showers, clean bathrooms, pots washing and washing machines The 10pm respect your neighbours quiet time was good especially when you have been out exploring all day and need to settle the kids then sit down with your drink around the campfire AND CHILL 🍷☕carnt wait to return 🥰

Location Peace Great manager.…

Local attractions

As you'll know if you've ever had the sense to go there, the Llŷn Peninsula is lovely land, with sea all around as it jabs 30 miles into the Irish Sea from north-west Wales's tip. Rhos Y Foel is in an excellent setting to get to the best of its hills and coast in the site surrounds, and to explore the mountains and other highlights of Snowdonia a short drive away. Around the peninsula, have seaside days at resorts like Abersoch, Nefyn, Morfa Nefyn and Pwllheli, all just a few miles away, or get active with afternoons among the wakeboarding, bowling, quad biking, go karting and fishing of Glasfryn Parc nearby at Pwllheli; soft play, food, a farm shop and a bar are at this latter as well. Paintball is nearby if you want to take things up a notch. Another top local option for families is the award-winning GreenWood Forest Park, where you can paddle among trees, make things work at the world's only people-powered rollercoaster, see a live show, meet the animals or try den building and archery. More animal meeting is at Dwyfor Rabbit Farm, or drive to the foot of Snowdonia for a more active family day out at Gypsy Wood. The famed 18-hole Nefyn & District Golf Club at Porthdinllaen is only a few minutes from the site.
