A coastal caravan and camping site near Aberdaron
Mynydd Mawr is a peaceful caravan and camping site near the village of Aberdaron, right at the far western tip of the Llŷn Peninsula in north-west Wales. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with sweeping sea views and sunsets over Bardsey Island, it is a wonderfully scenic, dog-friendly base for a back-to-nature break on one of the most beautiful and unspoilt stretches of the Welsh coast.
The site
The site offers caravan and camping pitches in a stunning, tranquil clifftop setting, with panoramic seascape and mountain views and some of the best sunsets in Wales. It is a quiet, traditional sort of place — the appeal is the location, the space and the sea air rather than big-resort facilities. Dogs are welcome, making it a firm favourite with walkers exploring the coast path. For those who would prefer four walls, the owners also offer two self-catering cottages (Ty Mawr and Bryniau) on the site.
The setting
This is about as far west as you can go on mainland Wales, and the position is magical: the site overlooks Bardsey Island (Ynys Enlli), with direct access to the Wales Coast Path towards Anelog and down into Aberdaron. Boat trips run out to Bardsey when the weather allows. It is an unbeatable spot for walkers, wildlife lovers, stargazers and anyone wanting to get away from it all by the sea.

Aberdaron — the Land’s End of Wales
Aberdaron is the beautiful westernmost village of the Llŷn, with a lovely sandy bay, a historic church right by the beach and a long history as the launch point for pilgrims to the holy island of Bardsey (Ynys Enlli). The whole tip of the peninsula is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, threaded by the Wales Coast Path, with the famous “Whistling Sands” at Porth Oer, dramatic clifftop walks and abundant wildlife close by. It is a genuinely special, end-of-the-road sort of place. For more places to stay in the area, see our guide to Aberdaron accommodation.
Good to know
A coastal caravan and camping site like this is all about the location — big skies, sea views, sunsets and the freedom of the outdoors, with the coast path and beaches right there. It suits campers, touring-caravan owners and anyone wanting a simple, scenic, dog-friendly break far from the crowds, while the on-site cottages offer a comfortable alternative for those who would rather not camp. The Llŷn is at its best from late spring through to early autumn for camping, walking and the boat trips to Bardsey, so those months are the most popular — well worth booking ahead, as this is a sought-after spot.
