  • Llŷn Peninsula site with mountain views
  • Wales Coast Path and Glasfryn Parc activity centre within 10 minutes
  • Shop selling ice cream and playground; 10 minutes' drive from Pwllheli
Soft spot for steam trains? Make tracks for Rhosfawr Caravan and Camping Park and you’ll have three heritage lines to travel, all of them climbing through the fine scenery of Snowdonia National Park. This family-friendly site in Gwynedd is 10 minutes’ drive from Pwllheli and makes a top base for steam safaris and seaside days, hill walks and castle tours. And when you’ve climbed every mountain (apologies to Julie Andrews…), it’s a spacious spot to stretch out in and soak up the views. While you’re soaking you can be sure the smaller members of your party are safe: the site’s set back a long way from the main road down a driveway, so there’s ample room for larking about, along with a playground. Appetites expanded by all that outdoor activity can soon be satisfied with a stroll over to the shop, which sells ice creams. If you need more in the way of provisions, there are shops and supermarkets in Pwllheli, and barbecues and campfires are permitted back on site.

What customers say

Clean, peaceful campsite with a great location for exploring. Owners are super friendly. Kids love the play area. Facilities are a bit dated & showers cost extra. BYO toilet paper. Big dog field's a bonus.

Liked Fantastic stay, very peaceful
Great staff Super friendly
Small park for the kids to play on and a 15 minute drive to Llanbedrog beach.
Also a safe field to run the dogs on would definitely stay again.

Disliked The one and only thing I would say is the toilet block could do with being cleaned more often. Lots of spiders,webs and dust.

It's a basic campsite with friendly owners. Quite and safe for kids.

Liked Nice site well kept. Lovely and quiet. I think we landed lucky only having another 2 people on the field we were on so it was fantastic. Lovely owners she leant us a cable to have an electric pitch, we weren't very well equipped as it was our first time camping. But we had a perfectly relaxing time and would return

Disliked Only thing we would have liked was to be able to walk somewhere more easily but the site is located off quite a busy road.

Powered grass site

Liked Quiet location, well placed for pwllheli

Disliked Stayed in top field and toilets were horrible, no lighting, no hot water, nothing to dry your hands on, no toilet paper supplied. What campsite doesn't provide basic hygiene provisions? Showers total rip off

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Well what a shame that you didn't listen, when I explained that the facilities in that field were not in use and to on the other field. ......where there was electric, lights etc.. ..however we do not provide toilet roll in any of our toilets.
Don't get me started on accommodation as you bring your own.., but thanks anyway

Very lovely peaceful site

Local attractions

Active family? Report to Glasfryn Parc (10 minutes' drive) for go-karting and Segway rides, archery, wakeboarding and 10-pin bowling. Those with further energies to burn can take to the waters at Pwllheli for kayaking, windsurfing and paddleboarding or zipwire their way through ZipWorld Slate Caverns (45 minutes) finishing off with bounces on the underground trampolines and feats of daring on the caverns’ high ropes. It doesn’t have to be all busy busy on the beach though: Pwllheli’s wide sands make a grand venue for long seaside walks and Barmouth an hour away is a 'bucket and spade and donkey ride' sort of place with sea trips and estuary cruises for those who just like to sit. Brought your boots? It’s a 10-minute drive to Nefyn, where you can link up with the Wales Coast Path, and 40 minutes to National Trust-protected Craflwyn and Beddgelert for trails through the Aberglaslyn Pass, wanders to Cwm Llan waterfall and multi-use paths around the wildlife-filled shores of Llyn Dinas lake. Whether you take one train into the hills or tick off the lot, a steam ride is a must-do: the puffers of the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway lines depart Porthmadog (25 minutes) for both Caernarfon and Blaenau Ffestiniog, while coal-fired trips to the sometimes snowy top of Mount Snowdon leave from Llanberis (45 minutes).
