  • 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.

Rich M.

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked What a gem this place is. Great location, clean and accessible facilities, stunning views and a super helpful host. Nice large pitches and a reasonable 10pm "quiet time" rule.
Also loved that you could hire a firepit and buy logs from here.

Disliked My only gripe (and its a small one...)
We didn't have much mobile reception so our phones were pretty redundant. Maybe its a vodafone thing. With this, we hoped the site would have wi-fi but sadly it didn't. It was only really an issue as our daughter (autism / ADHD ) has hyper fixations and sometimes needs some quiet youtube time to deregulate.

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked Beautiful site, at a stunning location on the Llyn Peninsula. Not massive, so it didn't feel too busy, but family friendly with kids making friends and playing together. Super clean shower and toilet block. Washing machine and dryer available to use and freezer for ice packs which I thought was a brilliant idea. Staff were extra friendly and helpful too.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Everything was excellent the staff on arrival and throughout the stay were superb always pleasant and smiling. We were upgraded onto a fully serviced pitch and to top it of a friend came for 1 night and they put him on the pitch next to us. The views are outstanding. We will definitely be back.

Disliked The lane very narrow coming in, that being said when you are rural it is to be expected

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.
