  • 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.

FHU gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Excellent facilities. Great for kids. Every time we used the showers and toilets they were very clean. Site is immaculate. Even though busy, never felt like it. Quiet and peaceful. Beautiful views. Next to the beach and easy access to the mountains.

Disliked Most ridiculous dislike ever - the taps were too powerful. Every time you washed your hands you got soaked. Like mini jet washes!
WiFi could be a little bit unpredictable but very minor.

FHU gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked A pleasant site that does what it says on the tin.

Disliked The only complaints would be a silly key pad that you have to press to get into the facilities such as shower block or washing up room. I can’t imagine they have had a problem of strangers using the facilities. I can’t imagine people walking all the way from the nearest town to use the free hot water.
Also the push buttons for the water in the showers provide too short a period of hot water. Just as you get soaped up, the water stops. The free WiFi is not very good.

FHU gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked I liked the level pitches that were clean and ready for us to settle. I particularly liked the access to water, electric and grey waste on our plot. The facilities were immaculate and easy to access. For me, the closeness of Harlech castle, the beach and train station make this site an ideal place to explore the beautiful surroundings.
Loved the sight and would visit again in a heartbeat.

Disliked There isnt any. If i would say one; that would be its a bit of a walk either way to the beach or castle but this kept us fit during our stay.

FHU gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Good public transport links

Nearby shops

Super clean and modern shower block (which doesn't close for an hour for cleaning)

Site is neat clean and well maintained

Friendly and helpful staff - our car broke down on the way and we arrived on a breakdown truck at three in the morning. We received a helpful email explaining about late arrivals and a courtesy call the next morning to ensure we had arrived ok.

Safe space for kids to play

Well placed to get out and about to see North Wales (Port Merion, Ffestiniog Railway, Carnarvon etc.) with a fantastic beach only ten minutes walk away. Even the village of Harlech is a delight with some fantastic shops and its very own castle.

Disliked Not a dislike but something worth noting for people with limited mobility. Although all pitches are fully serviced (always helpful), we were at the bottom end of the site which made it a bit of a schlep for the showers and the Elson disposal - so you might want to mention if you have any such issues when booking. However, it got my step count up (400 each way).

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.
