  • Well-kept family-run touring park in Harlech, with mountain views
  • Beach and castle 10 minutes' walk; Portmeirion 20 minutes' drive
  • Dog-friendly site with agility course and dog wash area
Heading to Harlech and hoping to catch a glimpse of the castle? You’ll be able to do rather more than that at Min Y Don Caravan Park – this fabulous touring park sits just at the foot of the castle hill, and it will only take you about 10 minutes to walk over there from the pitches. In fact, as Harlech is such a compact little town, nothing is very far away from the site – there’s a golf club next door, the sandy beach is about 10 minutes’ stroll away through the dunes and pubs, restaurants, cafés, shops and the railway station are all within just a few minutes’ walk as well. With the main coastal road (the A496) running through the town, Harlech also makes a great base for some time spent exploring the coast and the rest of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. Popular attractions like Llanfair Slate Caverns and Portmeirion are within easy reach, as are heaps of outdoor activities around the national park – hiking, mountain biking and climbing as well as the thrills of the various Zip World parks. It’s not all about location though, because this is also a very peaceful and well-maintained park where the owners have put a lot of effort into making sure the facilities are just right for all guests. That means things like a play area for families with young kids, accessible bathrooms for wheelchair users and a dog agility course and washing area for pets who like to get mucky on their outings. There’s also a launderette, a motorhome service point and EV chargers as well as a well-kept bathroom block.

What customers say

Immaculate site, spacious pitches, great facilities (modern showers). Stunning views, short walk to beach. Friendly staff. Dog friendly with agility area. WiFi can be patchy & uphill walk to town, but highly recommended with return visits planned.

Fully-serviced gravel and concrete caravan site

Liked All Good. One of best shower toilet blocks we've been to. Really clean and secure access. Shower cubicles really big and plenty of them. Wasing machine and dryers £2 a go. Dog wash on site. Close to beach and town of Harlech. If pitch available for extra £10 can stop overnight the 11am departure time to 4pm

Disliked Only dislike was lack of takeaways in Town on late evening. That's nothing to do with site but a reflection on demise of hospitality with recent changes to NI contributions, min wage hikes and huge cost of energy.

Fully-serviced gravel and concrete caravan site

Liked Fantastic well kept site, Staff very friendly, grest location, Lovely dog friendly beach close by would definitely recommend this site.

Disliked This is customer criticism not the sites fault, dog owners not cleaning up after their dogs in the dog park, the site even provided poo bags, for gods sake. Twice had muck on my shoes after being in there. Irresponsible owners. WiFi was hit and miss you could "pay for premium" which i felt was unfair as pitch fees are not the cheapest.

Liked The campsite was clean and well maintained, good facilities and lovely views the staff where pleasant too.

Disliked This campsite unfortunately just didn't not live up to the family style camping that it portraits on here, people seemed more interested in there WiFi connection and there TVs than enjoying camping and the campsite. The site felt very strict and like you didn't feel you could laugh to hard or you might disturb the peace, for me and my family this didn't feel like somewhere we could relax. I think the rules and perfection is catered to a particular type of person and probably not marketed the best with the family camping image it gives off, we booked 4 nights here but left early, we where really excited about this campsite so honestly felt really disappointed by our experience.

Local attractions

Of course you’ll want to start with Harlech Castle, a UNESCO-listed medieval fortress high on a hill above the town. After that, delve into more of the local history with a candlelight tour of Llanfair Slate Caverns (five minutes’ drive), a walk to the seaside church of St Tanwg’s (five minutes) and a trip to coastal Castell Cricieth (25 minutes). Being in Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park means that you’ll be surrounded by gorgeous scenery – the trails of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) are about half an hour’s drive away, and there are fabulous walking trails almost everywhere you look. Coed y Brenin Forest Park (35 minutes) is the place for mountain bikers, and there are adventures galore at Zip World Llechwedd (half an hour). For more leisurely outings, take a stroll through Morfa Harlech National Nature Reserve (by the site), ride the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways (20 minutes) or explore colourful Portmeirion (20 minutes). Childrens Farm Park (five minutes) is a great option if you’ve brought the kids.
