  • Rural site on a dairy farm 20 minutes' walk from Caernarfon
  • Half an hour from Snowdonia, Anglesey and the Llŷn Peninsula
  • Well-kept amenities including an accessible wetroom
Snowdonia National Park, Anglesey’s beaches, the lovely Llŷn Peninsula… if you fancy taking in lots of the local faves on your north-west Wales hols, take a look at handily placed Maes Carafanau Hendy Caravan Park. From this relaxed rural spot on a working dairy farm it’s around half an hour by car to all of the above, and a 20-minute stroll to historic Caernarfon, famed for its UNESCO-listed castle but also a popular place for poking about in the town’s independent shops and cafés. The Welsh Highland Railway and the Lôn Eifion cycle path pass by the site too, giving guests easy access to all sorts of ways to roam. Those in search of heaps of on-site activities will have to look elsewhere, as the Joneses have chosen to keep their place as peaceful as poss, focusing on doing the essential amenities to top standards. The large pitches have space to spread about a bit with access to electrical hookups and drinking water, and the top-notch bathroom facilities have hot showers, an accessible wetroom… and hairdryers for those days when the Welsh weather has messed with your mop.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Nice peaceful site, just a 20 min walk from Caernarfon. Large, flat pitches. Dark at night, so take a torch! All communication with owners is done by text - nobody on duty at site. Excellent recycling facilities. Very clean toilet and shower block, but...

Disliked ...just ONE shower and two toilets in each of the M and F areas, which was clearly insufficient, even though the site was only half full. (There appeared to be a second building but this was locked up.) Similarly only ONE washing-up sink, which resulted in a queue at times.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Loved this peaceful site. Lovely warm and clean showers. Wonderful views from the site. Location is perfect for walking along the cycle track into Caenarfon ( turn left) takes 25 mins, nice easy walk brings you out by the harbour and the castle.
Turn right back at the site along the cycle path leads you to the best garden centre ever been to. Walk for 10mins along the path, until you get to the footpath crossing then turn right through the big gate, walk to the road then left ,the centre is 5 mins up the road. Enjoyed an amazing meal , cakes are huge!!
Would definitely return to this site, highly recommend. A bit more expensive but worth it.
We had good phone signal and we used our own WiFi which enabled Netflix.
Met Glynis, lovely lady , sister of owner who was away on holiday.

Disliked Nothing to dislike, if I was being picky another wash up stand for dishes would be helpful.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked This was a super friendly site, the owners sister was very nice and welcoming, we stayed during Storm Amy so weather was awful, however this did not stop us having a lovely time. The facilities were very good ,very clean and warm. and I loved the honesty box for the washing machine and dryer, so refreshing to be able to do laundry and not being charged far too much. I hope everyone pays what is asked as it is very reasonable compared to other campsites where they charge far too much.

Local attractions

Start by taking a stroll into Caernarfon to see the mighty waterfront castle, a huge and well-preserved place with lots to see and plenty of puzzles and activities for the tiddlers; it’s worth having a look around the Royal Welch Fusiliers Regimental Museum while you’re here too. The Welsh Highland Railway runs steam train rides from Caernarfon: grab a spot at the station to watch them depart or get all aboard for the 25-mile ride through the mountains to Porthmadog. If you prefer to travel under your own steam, there’s easy access to the scenic 12-mile Lôn Eifion cycle path, a hard-surfaced path that skirts the edge of Snowdonia for some great views and village visits. For days by the seaside, cross the Menai Suspension Bridge to Anglesey – there are some lovely beaches on the island (Traeth Cymyran, 40 minutes away, is perhaps the most popular) – and the excellent Anglesey Sea Zoo, home to a seahorse breeding programme and the Lobster Hatchery of Wales. Head south instead and it’s around a half-hour drive to Pwlheli on the Llŷn Peninsula, for more splendid beaches as well as wildlife-watching boat trips.
