  • Wales Coast Path and Glasfryn Parc activity centre within 10 minutes
  • Playground on site; 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 during high season, as during this time the site sells ice cream and lollies. 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.

Liked: Lovely location and a small site, so fairly quiet too. Facilities are ok and the owners are very friendly and helpful. Great value for money.

Disliked: Showers not included, £1 per 5 minutes. Toilet paper not included either - you have to take your own. However, it’s only £28 per night for a fully serviced pitch.

FHU grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Site was away from the road so fairly quiet.

Disliked: A lot of tents and caravans crammed on so not a lot of space between each. Toilets and showers need some attention, not the cleanness, no toilet paper or soap available.

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).
