The wind carries salt and the cry of gulls inland from the Llŷn Peninsula coast, and at night you might hear nothing but canvas flapping and the distant wash of the Irish Sea.

This is a year-round site for tent campers, caravanners and motorhomers who want a straightforward North Wales base without bells and whistles. Gwynedd's dramatic coastline and the mountains of Snowdonia are both within reach, making it a solid choice for walkers, beach seekers and anyone touring the peninsula. The facilities are kept simple — showers and toilets — so it suits people happy with the basics rather than those after heated amenity blocks or entertainment.

Pitches accommodate tents, caravans and campervans, and the site stays open all year if you're the hardy type chasing winter sunsets over Cardigan Bay. Check the campfire policy when you arrive. It's a no-frills, get-on-with-it kind of place that lets the landscape do the talking.
