Henbant Bach Farm
A working farm in the hills above the Lleyn coast with sunset sea views, composting toilets, a market garden, and genuinely quirky accommodation in the woods.
Henbant Bach sits on high ground south of Caernarfon with west-facing views that catch the sun going down over the sea. The farm runs as a market garden alongside the camping, which gives the whole place a working rhythm most campsites lack. A well-stocked farm shop sells vegetables grown on site, and guests have mentioned wishing they lived close enough to visit it every week.
Camping options are varied: pitches with space for fires, a woodland yurt described by guests as 'lost in the middle of the wood', and self-catering cabins for anyone who wants a roof. A forest school runs from the site, making it a genuinely practical choice for families with young children. Composting toilets fit the ethos of the place, and a communal outdoor kitchen adds to the sense that this is a farm people share rather than a product someone is selling.
The setting is rural enough that the nearest pub is over 6km away and Traeth Trefor beach takes about 12 minutes to drive. This is a site where the draw is the farm itself: the views, the vegetables, the wildlife, and the particular quiet of a working smallholding that has opened its gate to campers.
Before you book
- Livestock, including cattle, can access the camping area, worth knowing before you arrive, especially with young children.
- The nearest pub or restaurant is more than 6km away; the farm shop is the main on-site food source.
- Composting toilets only, no flush facilities on site.
“A proper working farm with sea-view pitches, a market garden, woodland glamping, and a composting ethos that runs all the way through it. The kind of place that rewards guests who want the farm experience, not just a field near one.”
