  • Among spectacular scenery on the Llŷn Peninsula
  • Two and a half miles from Porthor or the Whistling Sands
  • Excellent amenities and fenced field for play
Surf, sea and whistling sands… bring the crew to the family site of Bryn Llan Caravan and Camping. This lovely little Llŷn Peninsula site is a couple of miles from Porthor or the Whistling Sands, a long length of beach hailed by the Bryn Llan owners as the best on all the peninsula (the whistling comes from the sound the sand particles make when walked upon; for added mirth, don't let the kids know this beforehand). Porthmor's also a top spot for Llŷn Peninsula surfing as it's more secluded and less busy than Hells Mouth just along the coast, and is under 10 minutes' drive from the surfing and bodyboarding waves of Aberdaron. You can sort boat trips across to Bardsey Island from Porth Meudwy near Aberdaron; elsewhere around the region, a beach, harbour, marina and more Bardsey boats are at Pwllheli within 25 minutes, and Snowdonia National Park is under an hour to the east. There are spectacular views from the site (on a clear day you should be able to see all the way to Ireland), and a handsome setting with spacious grass pitches, room to roam and a fenced field for safe and secure play. Amenities include well-kept toilets and free hot showers; a washing-up area and chemical disposal. Food pubs, a bakery, café and a newsagent are at Aberdaron. For other supplies, a market runs twice a week in Pwllheli.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: We travelled as a group of friends with kids. The camp site is very large, plenty of spaces and situated in a good location with easy access and very close to beautiful beaches. They allow us to pitch anywhere we wanted (non-electric) and no rush at all on the checkout day. They lend us fire pit, no restrictions having fun as a family. Kids enjoyed playing air-hockey in the school bus. The bar kiosk with breakfast is a nice addition and many enjoyed having a pint.

Disliked: The site is a very large place and it needs more maintaining (drainage, and lawn mowing). We had some rain and the ground becomes very muddy easily. We have seen some people had to use wellies to go to toilets. Pitches are not very level. Toilet facilities are good but not cleaned regularly. They told us they clean it twice a day which is not enough for the size of the site and people stayed I think. Only one sink to wash your dishes and that's not cleaned either. No fridge / freezer, so some of our food went bad. If they can put a little bit of more effort and time to take care of the place, this will be one of the better places around.

Local attractions

Hidden and secluded beaches are plentiful around the peninsula, including the site's nearest of Whistling Sands a short drive away. Managed by the National Trust, this peaceful beach is also home to a good variety of wildlife such as razorbills, shags and kittiwakes, as well as seals (best spotted while bodyboarding in the waves) and – with luck – dolphins. Pick up a wildlife trail leaflet at the beach cabin in spring and summer to see what you can spot. Also close by, take the boat to Bardsey Island for more wildlife watching: the isle is famed as a a nesting site for Manx shearwaters and choughs, and seals and dolphins can usually be spotted in the surrounding waters. Take one of the marked paths around the island to explore, or drop into Bardsey's school for an exhibit on Bardsey Island history and community.
