  • 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.

What customers say

Friendly staff, great location with views. Clean facilities, recent upgrades. Good base for Llyn Peninsula. Busy times can mean fewer showers & some uneven spots.

Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked One of the smaller sites I’ve stayed at and it felt like the perfect size. All pitches had plenty of space and there was also plenty of space for children etc to play near the pitches.

The camp warden, Marta, could not have done any more for us, our friends and for the rest of the camp in general really. Present whenever you needed her, responsive over text too.

Our car broke down and she was extremely helpful and it made what could have been a very stressful situation, actually not too bad. There are far worse places to be stranded than Rhoes Y Foel!

The views are amazing, it’s so peaceful. 10 minutes into Morfa Nefyn, 15 to Pwllheli, it’s perfect.

Facilities were spotless, address freezer and kettle came in really handy.

If you are bothered about WiFi, we are with O2 and got some signal but most of the time didn’t. Our friends who are with EE got signal the whole time.

Cannot fault it one bit and already can’t wait to come back 😁

Liked This site is in a brilliant location for exploring the whole peninsula and was very clean and tidy. The toilet and shower blocks were immaculate. The site was very family friendly and whilst not massive has everything you need and our kids had lots of other kids to play with and plenty of room to play. The scenery surrounding the site was stunning. Marta the host was lovely and so welcoming. Overall we thought this site was brilliant and we can't wait to return again!

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.
