Ty'r Felin campsite is set in a beautiful old meadow at the top of a steep slope overlooking the huge bay of Porth Neigwl, with its 4 mile long sandy beach. The camping field is at the top of the property level with the road, and from there a track winds down to the sea. Ty'r Felin is a truly magical place steeped in history that feels like stepping back in time 200 years, to a place where there is no electricity cables, telephone wires, TV aerials, tarmac or street lights. Crafted Camping at Ty’r Felin is a small family-run campsite located in a beautiful meadow camping field, a field of ancient wildflower-rich grassland set on the edge of the land at the end of the Llyn Peninsula overlooking the sea, along the length of Porth Neigwl and across to the Cilan headland. The field is in a very rural setting & a very beautiful and wild spot overlooking the sea to the east and a wooded hill to the south, which is the foothill of Mynydd Rhiw. The ethos of our campsite: We offer you the opportunity to come & stay somewhere different, somewhere wild & beautiful at the edge of the land and next to the sea. We offer you the opportunity to get away from everything on a site with no electricity or wi-fi, and to live differently, to tread lightly on this beautiful earth. Water is a precious resource on this site, as it is drawn up from a well of delicious ground water which has seeped down through the rocks from Mynydd Rhiw. Because water is precious we have built beautiful water-free compost loos for you to use, which we can assure you are comfortable and pleasant to use, and smell-free because of their modern design. We have also created lovingly crafted wet room cubicles where you can have a hot shower in private whilst looking out at the sky & clouds, the moon & stars. We ask guests to use the well water sparingly. We hope you will experience the sense of connectedness to the outdoors and to the earth whilst living and washing outdoors at Ty’r Felin. Fire pits with grills are available to hire and logs & locally made charcoal available to buy on site, so you can cook & eat outside under the sky, and sit round the fire with friends and share stories and songs. Fire pits should be raised off the ground with the bricks provided at all times, so they burn more efficiently and do not scorch or pose a fire risk to the meadow camping field. Disposable & electric BBQs are not permitted on site.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked We loved the laid back vibe, good clean facilities and the campsite having direct access to the sea via the track. Good for a morning swim for us. Probably even better if you have a kayak or SUP. We spent the afternoon walking around the headland via the coastal path that's directly next to the campsite. Stunning views from the campsite and up on the mountain.
The campsite owners were welcoming and friendly and helpful with some local knowledge! Couldn't fault it and I wish we had at least one more night.
