  • 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.

What customers say

Highly recommended, peaceful site with beautiful rural views. Clean facilities, friendly staff (esp. Marta), and well-kept pitches. Great for Llyn Peninsula exploration. Basic but clean amenities. Can be queues for showers/toilets when busy. No on-site entertainment or nearby walk to shops/pubs.

Carrie F.

Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked This was our first trip as a family, and couldn’t fault the site at all. Very easy to find our pitch on arrival and we were treated shortly after by the owner.
Nice sized pitch and lovely updated facilities on site.
Very easy to communicate if we needed anything, owners were around everyday, cleaning facilities and greeting guests.
When we hired a fire pit it was delivered to and collected from the pitch for us.(need cash for this)
There is no play area on this site, but the pitches are spaced enough that our daughter was able to play freely on the field without the worry of her getting in others way. Would recommend taking some outdoor activities for the kids.
We would love to come back here again in the future.

Disliked Nothing :)

Charli S.

Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Booked last minute for the bank holiday weekend, secured the last available pitch (best pitch we could have asked for). The site itself was well maintained, facilities were always clean. Marta was very welcoming and made us feel at home, nothing was too much to ask for, even allowed us to check out a little later and enjoy the sun! Marta recommended a visit to Nefyn which was beautiful and only a 10 min drive. There’s also a nice little pub up the road, Y Bryncynan, food was lovely! Most definitely will be back!

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.
