  • Peaceful Gwynedd site overlooking Snowdonia and Cardigan Bay
  • Located between the seaside town of Criccieth and Pwllheli harbour
  • Fenced pitches for dog owners; south-facing coastal location
Home to peaceful adults-only pitches and a family-friendly static caravan, Swn Y Mor (that's Welsh for 'sound of the sea') is located in a dreamy location on the Llŷn Peninsula. With the pretty seaside town of Criccieth five minutes' drive to the east and Pwllheli’s harbour and seafront 10 minutes away to the west, this spot in the village of Chwilog makes a great base for exploring the Gwynedd coastline and the full length and breadth of Snowdonia National Park. Most of the touring site is set over six and a half acres of well-maintained grass, with far-reaching views over the local countryside and plenty of greenery all around. For dog owners, there's the handy possibility of booking a fenced pitch so your four-legged friends can run around while you get on with camp activities like a barbecue (but please keep them on leads around the rest of the site). Another fab feature of this place is its duck pond, home to an island where you can relax and sip drinks in the evening. Swn Y Mor also has a spacious static caravan set in a secluded location within a private walled garden. Unlike the pitches, which are adults-only, families are welcome to book this unit, which is fully self-contained with two bedrooms, a family shower room and a kitchen, dining area and lounge. To the rear, a barbecue and patio area are at your disposal, making it possible to dine outside and take in sunset views…

Fenced FHU grass travel trailer campsite (adults only)

Liked: A fantastic adults only pet friendly site! We were given a very warm welcome from site owners Gary and Pam! The site is extremely peaceful and quiet with your individual pitch being fenced off to allow ‘off lead freedom’ for your well behaved dogs. If you’ve got good recall it’s a perfect holiday for your fur baby too! But if your dog can jump or has the will to try to escape then there is potential for that to happen on some pitches as I soon found out! i.e. a small boundary wall at the rear of my pitch which my dog scaled! Other than that it was a superb break and was perfect to just chill and recharge! Nice towns close by for visits and the excellent Aberech beach a few miles away which is perfect and safe to let your dogs run free!

Local attractions

This coastal corner of Wales is hard to beat in terms of scenery, as both mountain and seaside views are pretty much guaranteed whichever way you're heading. Driving to the highest peaks of the national park will take you about half an hour or so by car, while the bridges to the pretty Isle of Anglesey can be reached within 35 minutes. Nearby Criccieth beach is five minutes away and is a great place to start exploring the local area, whether that involves swimming and sunbathing at the beach, hiring a paddleboard or staying on land and booking electric bikes to zip around the attractive surrounding area. The sandy beach at Afonwen (a couple of minutes away) is another popular choice, with direct access to the Wales Coast Path. Steam enthusiasts will appreciate having the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland railway close by in Porthmadog (15 minutes). Other nearby attractions include several top-tier local golf courses, Zip World Llechwedd (35 minutes) for adrenaline-fuelled adventures and the pretty stone buildings at the abandoned Ynysypandy Slate Mill (20 minutes).
