About the site


Set in the beautiful Snowdonia National Park and ten minutes from the glorious town of Conwy, the site is ideally situated for days of exploring North Wales. The site is surrounded by glorious sea views and mountains, a truly stunning place to unwind. Tents and small campervans up to 5.5m in length are welcome across the site's 30 non electric grass pitches, with the choice of pitching up where suits you best. For those who require a hook up, there are also 40 electric grass pitches available. Caravans and motorhomes of up to 7m in length are also catered for with five gravel and five hardstanding pitches, each with an electric hook up. The gravel pitches also come with a water hook up and are perfect for all-year-round touring holidays. Each pitch welcomes up to five guests, with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy some peace and quiet. The site is located on a hill with terraced levels so everyone can marvel at the stunning vistas, though pitches may still be slightly sloping. Located between the villages of Dwygyfylchi and Penmaenmawr, a few minutes from the A55, it's a stunning site where it's easy to relax and watch the sail boats at sea, or turn to face the fabulous Welsh mountains where sheep and carneddau ponies roam. BBQs are also welcome onsite, perfect for a summer's evening. Cook yourself up some delicious food and enjoy dining as you watch the glorious sunset over the horizon. Four-legged friends are also welcome to join you for your stay, with up to two allowed per pitch.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass PitchesJun 2025

This was our first venture out in our T25 and we could not have chosen a better location. From the initial welcome from Kerry (warden) to leaving, we cannot fault this site. Breathtaking sea and mountain views. Lovely clean facilities, good paddock for dog to snoop around! Carl (warden) was so helpful with his knowledge of getting our awing in right position! ( very much appreciated). Very friendly area, we enjoyed a walk to The Gladstone Hotel and were pleasantly surprised with the quality of food and the lovely staff, also dog friendly throughout. Gareth, the owner is very welcoming and knowledgeable about area. The small town is also worth a walk for a coffee & cake!

Great clean site great views great staff perfect weeks stay here
