  • Peaceful Llŷn Peninsula pop-up site overlooking Porth Neigwl beach
  • Plas yn Rhiw gardens over the road; 15 minutes' drive to Abersoch
  • Direct access to shoreline for surfing, fishing and other activities
‘Like stepping back in time 200 years to a place with no electricity cables, street lights, tarmac or TV aerials’… that’s how the owners of Crafted Camping at Ty'r Felin describe their special corner of the Llŷn Peninsula. Special it is, too – this peaceful off-grid site 10 minutes’ drive from Aberdaron is right by the coast, with spectacular views over the four-mile Porth Neigwl beach (a well-known favourite with surfers) and access to the shoreline for swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving, kayaking, fishing, body boarding and surfing. (There’s no equipment for hire, but you’re welcome to bring your own and head out as you please.) The owners also run wildlife-watching and fishing boat trips that you can book on site. All sounding a little active? Don’t worry, there’s plenty of scope to relax at this peaceful and laidback site. You’ll be staying in an ancient wildflower field with views out to sea, so you can (and should) certainly dedicate some time to just lying in the grass, soaking up the scenery and perhaps looking out to sea in search of birds and dolphins. The ethos of this site is firmly about ‘treading lightly’ and reconnecting with nature, so facilities have been kept as simple and eco-friendly as possible. Modern smell-free compost toilets are in the camping field, along with private wet room cubicles with jugs and bowls for a hot-water wash while looking up into the sky. There’s no electricity or wifi at this site, to encourage guests to connect with their surroundings instead. Or perhaps with their companions – firepits are available to hire for those long evenings cosying up by the fire.
