Well-maintained family site just over a mile from Tywyn
In the Snowdonia National Park half an hour's drive from Dolgellau
Access to woodland walks and fishing on the Dysynni river

Calling all walkers, cyclists, birdwatchers, beachgoers… there's a lovely base for all of you at Ynysymaengwyn Caravan and Camping Park, in the grounds of a ruined old manor house in rural Gwynedd, just over a mile from Tywyn and its beach. This is a peaceful spot indeed for a break, as the pitches are surrounded by woodland where you can head out for walks (with your dog by your side if you’ve brought them along for the ride) or follow the orienteering course for a bit more of a challenge. There's also an adventure playground to keep the kids busy, plus access to the Dysynni river at the bottom of the site for anglers to fish for salmon and trout. This is a park that likes to keep things simple and relaxed rather than providing lots of entertainment, but it’s got all the essential facilities sorted including a launderette, an Elsan point and toilets and showers with accessible facilities. The location of the park is at the southern tip of the Snowdonia National Park and very close to the coast, so there’s no shortage of things to do – whether you’d like hardcore hiking or something rather more gentle. And you shouldn’t go hungry either, as Tywyn has a good collection of places to eat including cafés, chip shops, takeaways and restaurants. The town also has a supermarket and bakery if you’d rather sort your own meals back at base or pick up picnic bits.

Lyndsay G. Sept 2024

Electric optional grass tent pitch (maximum 4-berth)

Liked: Lovely clean site, good facilities plenty of bins, toilets and showers which were well maintained. Beautiful views and local area. My only niggle was it was extremely busy and i would typically like a slightly more secluded or private pitch however everyone there was very respectful with noise etc and it was to be expected really as last weekend of the summer hols and the sun was shining. Would definitely return.

Disliked: More private pitch would have been ideal

Samuel T. Sept 2024

Electric optional grass tent pitch (maximum 4-berth)

Liked: Everything, the pitches were decent, and surrounded by amazing countryside, with a woodland walkon accessible from the camping area. There is a decent sized kids play area, although a smaller one on the camping field would be a good idea. Customer service was great and the showers and toilet facilities were decent and clean. Tywyn is a mile away and has everything you need in terms of food, drink and shopping.

Local attractions

As well as being your nearest source of food, Tywyn’s a great little seaside town with a sandy beach, miniature golf, pitch and putt and tennis courts. It’s also the starting point for the Talyllyn Railway, which runs into the countryside for a scenic ride – a particularly nice way to do it is to ride to Dolgoch and walk to its waterfall before a cuppa in the tea rooms. Walkers may like to set out on the Wales Coast Path or head inland for a wander along the shores of Tal-y-llyn lake (15 minutes’ drive), scramble up the slopes of Penygader (20 minutes) or head to the walking hub of Dolgellau (half an hour) to explore the trails around there. Mountain bikers, meanwhile, will no doubt want to tackle the trails of Coed-y-Brenin (45 minutes) while birdwatchers learn about the residents of Dyfi Osprey Project (half an hour). Once you’ve spent some time on the sands of Tywyn, head a little further along the coast to explore the dunes of Ynyslas Nature Reserve and see the petrified forest at Borth (both 45 minutes).
