  • Well-kept family-run touring park in Harlech, with mountain views
  • Beach and castle 10 minutes' walk; Portmeirion 20 minutes' drive
  • Dog-friendly site with agility course and dog wash area
Heading to Harlech and hoping to catch a glimpse of the castle? You’ll be able to do rather more than that at Min Y Don Caravan Park – this fabulous touring park sits just at the foot of the castle hill, and it will only take you about 10 minutes to walk over there from the pitches. In fact, as Harlech is such a compact little town, nothing is very far away from the site – there’s a golf club next door, the sandy beach is about 10 minutes’ stroll away through the dunes and pubs, restaurants, cafés, shops and the railway station are all within just a few minutes’ walk as well. With the main coastal road (the A496) running through the town, Harlech also makes a great base for some time spent exploring the coast and the rest of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. Popular attractions like Llanfair Slate Caverns and Portmeirion are within easy reach, as are heaps of outdoor activities around the national park – hiking, mountain biking and climbing as well as the thrills of the various Zip World parks. It’s not all about location though, because this is also a very peaceful and well-maintained park where the owners have put a lot of effort into making sure the facilities are just right for all guests. That means things like a play area for families with young kids, accessible bathrooms for wheelchair users and a dog agility course and washing area for pets who like to get mucky on their outings. There’s also a launderette, a motorhome service point and EV chargers as well as a well-kept bathroom block.

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its spotless cleanliness and great facilities, especially the modern washrooms. Guests love the large pitches and handy location, close to the beach, castle, and shops. It's dog-friendly and the staff are friendly and helpful. Some found the WiFi and shower temps inconsistent, or the site pricey/crowded at peak times.

FHU gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely site, pitch was in a perfect location near to facilities for us. Bathrooms were so clean, plenty of them, like the radio playing in them. Laundry room ideal and cheap. Village of Harlech was lovely as was Porthmadog (we got the bus there from outside the camp). Arrived there on a Thursday eve, Hubby had a pizza from the van there which was great and really tasty. The beach is absolutely stunning as are the mountain views. Loved the dog agility area, not sure our pooch did though!

Disliked Only issue we had was terrible wifi, paid for the premium wifi which did not work at all but did get a refund through camping connect.

FHU gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Really well maintained and facilities were great. Kids loved the play area and dogs loved the dog area too. The trees creating a barrier are a great touch as you can some natural shade. The visiting food vans went down well too.

Disliked We were very close to the play area which was great for the kids but a bit of a trek to the toilet block and there seemed to be no system for placing cans with no loo (like mine) a bit closer as all the ones in the first block next to the toilets had their own!

The electricity point is too far for the pitch on the left though I was requested to reverse in but this meant my cable didn’t reach and I didn’t realise until the awning etc was up so couldn’t move it. We managed with an extension but would’ve been better to let me assess it myself

FHU gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked July / August First time to Min Y Don - we loved the site ( facilities excellent) and the location is fab
Short walk to beautiful beach / castle set above the site with a lovely small village with lovely shops/ cafes and restaurants.
Excellent location to use train ( very reasonably priced kids travel for free) so hardly had to use car.
Would b nice choose available pitch on arrival but a minor point
Would definitely recommend and will return

Local attractions

Of course you’ll want to start with Harlech Castle, a UNESCO-listed medieval fortress high on a hill above the town. After that, delve into more of the local history with a candlelight tour of Llanfair Slate Caverns (five minutes’ drive), a walk to the seaside church of St Tanwg’s (five minutes) and a trip to coastal Castell Cricieth (25 minutes). Being in Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park means that you’ll be surrounded by gorgeous scenery – the trails of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) are about half an hour’s drive away, and there are fabulous walking trails almost everywhere you look. Coed y Brenin Forest Park (35 minutes) is the place for mountain bikers, and there are adventures galore at Zip World Llechwedd (half an hour). For more leisurely outings, take a stroll through Morfa Harlech National Nature Reserve (by the site), ride the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways (20 minutes) or explore colourful Portmeirion (20 minutes). Childrens Farm Park (five minutes) is a great option if you’ve brought the kids.
