  • Peaceful village site by the Artro river and two miles from the coast
  • Portmeirion 25 minutes' drive; 50 minutes to Snowdon
  • Families, motorcyclists and Duke of Edinburgh groups welcome
It's a breeze to get down to the coast from this site in Gwynedd, as The Mill Caravan Park and Camping Site is a mere two miles from the beach. Set on the edge of the peaceful village of Llanbedr, close to Snowdonia National Park, it’s also well-placed for waterside wanders, as the peaceful river Artro can be accessed a few metres from the pitches. Being so close to the village centre makes staying here a fair bit easier. In terms of food, Llanbedr's shops, restaurants and pubs are five minutes away on foot. Transport-wise, there are buses, the A496 that heads up into the mountains and, on the western side of the village, Llanbedr railway station (about 20 minutes’ walk). Back on site, you'll be settling down in the main site field, a wide open space with vistas over a thickly forested hill. Barbecues and dogs are welcome here. The Mill Caravan Park and Camping Site is popular with family groups, motorcyclists on road trips around the national park and Duke of Edinburgh groups, who regularly stop off here to take advantage of the great views and transport links. The fact that the Welsh coast is so close is another big plus: Barmouth and Harlech are 15 minutes' drive from site, while the pastel-coloured houses of Portmeirion are 25 minutes away.

Clin K. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: hot shower availability . Not busy.

Disliked: Nearby permanent building on the site ( assume it was the mill) thought it apt to repeatedly put dog(s) outside in rear garden/yard to persistently bark. Heard others shouting from static caravans to get them to shut the dog(s) up. I wasn't on the site during the day but they were let out during evening, late at night and too early in morning to bark.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: As described, a back to basics site with clean facilities close to the Pubs.the pitch was quite level for a field site, no levelling reqd, and a nice tranquil feel to the place.we only got to visit the nearest pub which was very nice, so we didn't want to go further (only 100yds), We very much enjoyed our stay.

A lovely peaceful site, friendly staff, would stay here again.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: We loved the location - very quiet and peaceful with lovely views of the hills. A very short walk to the village where there was a shop and a couple of lovely pubs. 10 minute drive up to the Nantcol waterfall walks. The camping field was flat and well kept. Toilets and washrooms close to the pitches.

Disliked: The facilities - toilet, shower and washing up room are very basic, but good enough if you're not after anything fancy!

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: We had a lovely stay at The Mill. John made us feel so welcome. He even spent an evening entertaining us with his guitar and lovely songs, which made it a special night filled with laughter. It is a lovely campsite with a great vibe and just a short walk to a charming pub.

Local attractions

Beach time at Barmouth (15 minutes' drive) will keep the kids happy in fine weather, while for a bit of high-adrenaline adventure there's also the go-karting on offer at Glasfryn Parc (45 minutes) or Zip World Fforest (45 minutes), home to Wales' famous forest rollercoaster. For the bravest thrill-seekers, this site is also conveniently close to Skydiving Snowdonia (five minutes). Hiking up mountains such as Snowdon (50 minutes) in the National Park is another popular option. Cader Idris (an hour and 10 minutes) is also a very popular peak and has great views over southern Snowdonia, plus you'll often get the chance to see planes zooming over the Mach Loop low-flying aircraft practice area on its eastern flank. There's also a lot of history around these parts, as these ancient hills have been inhabited since before written records began. Head to Llanbedr's neolithic standing stones (a few minutes' walk from site) if you want to learn more, or take the time to visit the imposing castle in Harlech (15 minutes), built in 1290 in a strategic position overlooking the Irish Sea as part of the so-called Iron Ring.
