Hi

I wondered whether anyone could recommend a site near Lynn Peninsula, Porthmadog, Harlech.  I haven't been to this area of Wales before and would like to explore it.  My wants are;

- Seaviews or very near the sea

- not to far from a town

- not too bothered about electric, would like a site with a bit of 'atmosphere'

Hope my wants aren't too restrictive!!

Thanks

Claire

I can't recommend any specific site because I haven't stayed at any campsites in Wales but I have stayed with friends in Harlech which is a lovely place and I can certainly recommend it.

There are a couple of campsites within a few minutes walk of the beach which looked ok from outside.

You can find details here

Min y Don is probably the nearest to the sea of those listed in Bob61's link - no actual sea view as it's behind dunes, but a good view of the castle. As to the site itself you'd have to check recent reveiws as I've not visited since it changed hands a few years ago and stopped accepting tents.

Porthmadog is one of the busiest towns in the area and has a non-tent site called Ty Bricks (not listed here as far as I know) within walking distance of shops and the Porthmadog section of the Welsh Highland Railway. No sea view though.

There are a number of large sites along the coast from there (See Camp Site Search again!) towards Aberdaron, where about fifteen years ago a tent pitch on a sheep pasture cost me all of £1.50!

For "atmosphere" I'd recommend Shell Island (a few miles south of Harlech) but for the fact they can't take caravans.

We have had good stays at Hayan Y Mor, Pwllheli. It is a Haven site with a very good touring area. good staff, lots for the kids to do, and fairly reasonably priced pitches. Details on line.        You will always find a touring site along the road from Harlech towards Caernarfon unless you pick main season. Happy hunting

Greenacres is fine as long as you go out of the main holiday weeks as it can be expensive then.  At quiet times you can get real bargain stays.

We have had a couple of great holidays here.  Found the location ideal to travel around the area you want. The owner is very helpful.
