About Penlon Caravan and Camping
Perched on a working farm with sweeping views across the Irish Sea, Penlon Caravan and Camping offers a peaceful base for exploring Gwynedd's dramatic coastline and hills. The level grass pitches all share that bird's-eye panorama, while the site's location just off the A499 puts you minutes from Trefor's sand-and-pebble beach and within easy reach of the Rivals Hills for superb walking. Dogs are welcome, and there's even a pick-up service from public transport for car-free arrivals.
Facilities are thoughtfully done: two spacious, spotless shower rooms (one fully accessible), a utility room with washing machine and dryer, and barbecues allowed on pitches. Trefor village, a five-minute drive, covers basics with a shop, post office and a pub whose beer garden boasts magical views over Yr Eifl. It's a small, friendly site—ideal for overnighting or settling in for a longer stay, though with only electric hook-ups and no frills, it suits campers happy to keep things simple.

What visitors say
All grass site with 10a EHU. Nice toilets/ showers. Shower are 20p or £1 so bring some cash. You do have to level but it's not horrible. Huge pitches and with in reason you can pitch how you like. There is some night road noise but it's no worse than at home.

Stopped here for a quick night at the start of a tour of the peninsula. Lovely host and fantastic facilities. A few sloppy pitches but great value and location.
