Coed Helen Caravan and Lodge Park

A holiday park with a pool, a short walk from Caernarfon Castle

Just across the water from the mighty walls of Caernarfon Castle, this well-equipped holiday park makes a brilliant family base for the North Wales coast and the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia). A range of caravans, chalets and studios sleep up to eight, there is an outdoor swimming pool for sunny days, and the UNESCO World Heritage castle is only a six-minute walk away. Guests rate it highly, with an 8.9 out of 10 score, and its blend of on-site facilities and a superb location is hard to beat for a family holiday.

A choice of caravans, chalets and studios

The park offers several types of accommodation to suit different group sizes: three-bedroom chalets sleeping six or more, caravans in various layouts (typically sleeping four to six), and studios for smaller parties. Units come with their own kitchens — microwaves, ovens and hobs — so you have the freedom of self-catering, and there is plenty of choice whether you are a couple, a family or a small group.

Pool, games and plenty to do

There is more than enough to keep everyone happy on site. An outdoor swimming pool runs through the season (roughly April to September), and there is a games room with ping-pong, an outdoor play area for children, and a sun terrace and garden to relax in. Free private parking with electric-vehicle charging makes arriving easy, and free WiFi keeps you connected. The park’s position, with views across to Caernarfon Castle, is a real highlight.

Who it suits

Coed Helen is a natural fit for families and couples who want comfortable, good-value self-catering with facilities on site and a genuinely special location. Being a short stroll from Caernarfon means you can leave the car and walk into town for the castle, the cafes and the Welsh Highland Railway, while the wider area — the mountains of Snowdonia, the beaches of the Llŷn Peninsula and the island of Anglesey — is all within easy reach for days out. One thing to note for dog owners: pets are welcome in one designated pet-friendly caravan only, so do check when booking if you are bringing a dog.

Caernarfon and the area

Caernarfon is one of the great towns of North Wales, famous for its UNESCO World Heritage castle, its complete medieval town walls and the Welsh Highland Railway that steams off into the mountains. From the park you are perfectly placed at the gateway to Eryri (Snowdonia), with the high peaks inland, the beaches of the Llŷn Peninsula to the south-west, and the island of Anglesey just across the Menai Strait.
