  • Family-friendly site 100 metres from the promenade
  • A 15-minute walk from Barmouth beach; 25 minutes to the town centre
  • Playground and a shop on site; on National Cycle Route 8
Just 100 metres from the sea, Hendre Mynach Caravan and Camping Park is a rather splendid base for a break in northwest Wales. This family-friendly site is a five-minute stroll from Barmouth’s promenade, and sandy Barmouth beach is a pleasant 15 minutes’ walk away – or a quick ride on the small land train that travels up and down the promenade. When you’re not sea fishing from the shore, taking a peaceful paddle or watching the kids bounce on the trampolines on the beach, head to Barmouth Harbour (half an hour’s walk), the departure point for boat trips and off-shore fishing. An amusement park and leisure centre are other entertainment options in town, where foodies will find plenty of cafĂ©s and restaurants. Hendre Mynach Caravan and Camping Park is a convivial spot: families, couples, friendly bikers and rallies (outside of peak season, please) are all welcome, as are backpackers and solo travellers (at a discount during low season). There’s a playground for the kids, and keen cyclists are also catered for: National Cycle Route 8 runs past the site. It’s well equipped too, with water on all pitches, washing-up facilities and a modern shower block with shaver points, hairdryer and straighteners. There’s also a launderette, baby-change facilities with a baby bath, Elsan waste disposal points, a drive-on motorhome drain, tarmac roads and CCTV. Helpful staff are available 24 hours a day, gas and wifi are sold at reception, and there’s a shop on site, plus a local bus stop nearby.

Steve B.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked The site was all we required, the location the locality to services such as buses and trains.
The staff were all very accommodating, polite and very courteous and helpful.
All the amenities on the site were spotlessly clean, they have two toilet blocks and when one is being cleaned the other is opened which alone is a benefit, this is well communicated with the abundance of information.
Although we did not have any children with us there us a great little playground for them, for that reason and being so close to the beach we will be returning with our grandchildren.

Disliked Nothing to dislike, except the weather but that cannot be helped.
The access and exit to the site could be daunting due to the geography of the land but no issues so okay.

Very clean site will stay there again in future

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Location of site was great right next to the beach and a short walk into town along the beach front. Facilities where clean an well maintained.

Disliked If non electric camping the toilets and showers are a good walk from the tent.

From the manager: Thank you for your comments, please note the furthest point on our site from the toilets is less than 450 metres.

Friendly staff very helpful pitches are very good and level

Mark R.

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked We loved the friendliness of the staff, the location to the front and the walkable distance into the town 👍

Disliked We were slightly unhappy with being put on Field 3 â˜č, it felt like it was an overflow field and we were no where near the amenities
.
Would liked to have been on the top field or field 2
.
Maybe next time đŸ€ž
And we couldn’t get WiFi
.needed it to check in with work ( both self employed )

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback, to answer a couple of your points.
We have many customers asking for 3rd field, if you had asked we could have looked at moving you to top field or closer (taking in mind the site was busy) the toilet block is less than 450 metres away from the furthest point on the site.
We have spent a lot of money and time improving our Wifi - still work on some improvements / line of sight at some places on site. No-one should rely on campsite Wifi, for anyone thinking of holidaying and working we do recommend using one of the mobile booster providers that are on the market.

We liked a lot this place

Tracey W.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Location

Disliked Staff are rude
Our tent pitch was on a slope which made cooking and sleeping a nightmare
Toilets are quite a walk from tenting feild
WiFi didn’t work

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback

The toilets are less than 450 metres away, taking the size of the tent given you could have repositioned your tent to the front of the pitch, if it was possible the staff would have relocated you if asked.

Local attractions

The burial site of Cors y Gedol (10 minutes’ drive) dates from about 4000 BC. Not much is left of the original stone mound, but the sea views alone are well worth the hike, plus you can push on to climb the slopes of Moelfre from here. If mountains are your thing, check out Penygader (35 minutes) and Snowdon (50 minutes), Wales’s highest peak. Got your mountain bike with you? Coed y Brenin Forest Park (half an hour) has eight purpose-build trails catering to all abilities and a skills area to practise your bunny hops, plus hiking paths taking in ruined copper mines, viewpoints and waterfalls. Speaking of which, at Dolgoch Falls (45 minutes), forested trails take you up close and personal to the cascades. At the Italianate-style village of Portmeirion (35 minutes), elegant architecture, pastel-coloured houses and lush subtropical gardens will have you believe you’re in Portofino. Stop for afternoon tea and don’t forget to buy some pottery.
