Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2026

We camped (tent) here in April 2026. This is a small and beautiful site nestled in the stunning Welsh countryside, and a short drive up from Aberdaron. We would definitely stay here again - thank you / diolch yn fawr.

Site's response

Diolch Jaci. (Thank you for your review and will look forward to you and your friends coming back soon. Well done for the awesome She Ultra 34 mile challenge, Women are Superheros).

Lovely, peaceful site in a great location

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2026

Due to a bad weather forecast there had been a few cancellations and the site was very quiet - we were so glad we stuck with it as it's a gorgeous spot! We tucked ourselves in by the belt of trees and dodged the showers, managing a great coastal walk followed by an evening round the fire pit (which we took with us.) The couple who run the site were there to greet us and were lovely- really friendly and helpful. The 'field kitchen' had just opened when we arrived so we ate from there and it was delicious. Open 5-8pm Fri, Sat, Sun, serving burgers, tacos, loaded fries etc- including veggie & vegan options. Facilities are just what you need: an outbuilding with a mini fridge, sink for washing pots, 2 handwashing basins and 2 little rooms each containing a toilet and shower(20p). Very clean and well-maintained. Short drive into Aberdaron, but it only took us about 20 minutes to walk in along quiet lanes. There's a chippy, pizza and ice cream place, cafes, Spar and of course, a lovely beach (dog restrictions during holiday season). Loads of gorgeous walking along the coastal path and the site is very dog friendly. We loved our weekend at Ty Cae and would definitely recommend it to others who also prefer that slightly quieter part of the Llyn Peninsula!

Lovely peaceful site

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Grass PitchesApr 2026

We were very lucky to have the site to ourselves the week after Easter, so just the weather (lots of that) for company. Lovely owners and you HAVE to try their burgers from the on-site shack – hands down, the best I have ever eaten. Spotless loo and shower block, though cold underfoot in April! Aberdaron is a lovely little village with a very good bakery and a few cafes, about 25 minutes walk down quiet lanes. Coast path round the tip of the Llyn peninsula is magnificent, totally worth all the ups and downs.

A note from the site themselves...

We moved here 18 years ago and have had to renovate everything as it was an old farmhouse on 5 acres with a derelict barn which we have had to renovate, build driveways, plant hedging and trees to create the beautiful, peaceful place it has now become. The only noise you hear is birdsong and animals.

In 2024 we created an onsite food truck serving homemade, locally sourced ingredients and freshly prepared to order.
