Bennar Beach Campsite

An all-grass coastal site between Barmouth and Harlech with a boardwalk to the beach, mountain views in three directions, and a sauna to end the day.

Bennar Beach sits in Dyffryn Ardudwy on the Cambrian Coast, half way between Barmouth and Harlech. A wooden boardwalk threads through the sand dunes to a sandy beach a short stroll from your pitch, and the Rhinog mountains rise to the east while Harlech Castle and Yr Wyddfa are visible to the north. The sunsets here are the site's quiet boast.

The pitches are all grass and take tents, caravans, and motorhomes with electric hookup available. Facilities are modern and well-maintained: indoor and outdoor toilet and shower blocks, laundry, and a sauna for post-beach use. A strict no-noise policy after 10pm keeps things calm. The warden is well-regarded and pitch numbers are pre-assigned, so there is no queue on arrival.

The village of Dyffryn Ardudwy is just a short walk away and has a chip shop, pub, and a Spar with an award-winning butcher. A train station nearby means the site is reachable without a car for the determined.

Before you book

The on-field toilet and shower cubicles are small due to planning restrictions; the indoor block at the end of the site is the better option.
Some pitches are uneven, so it is worth checking levelness before pegging out a tent.

“A genuinely coastal campsite with direct beach access and mountain views, run with care and priced accessibly. The sauna is a welcome bonus after a day on the sand.”
