A North Wales holiday is given something special by the magical site of Snowdonia. Wales’ highest peak dominates the skyline, with our Greenacres park near Porthmadog providing you especially stunning views and beach access too.
Our two other parks, Presthaven Beach Resort in Prestatyn, and Hafan y Mor in Pwllheli, also gives you access to the beach, while the latter boasts an incredible water park. Starting at just £49 for three nights, our caravan and lodge holidays are both family and dog-friendly too.
Magnificent Greenacres Holiday Park sits close to the coastline, with direct access to a sandy beach and not far from stunning Snowdonia.
With no shortage of exciting entertainment, activities and facilities, Hafan y Mor also boasts beach access and charming coastal views.
It’s easy to fill your days with adventure at Presthaven. Explore the traditional seaside towns and saunter down to the sandy beach.
Locally known as Eryri, this National Park is Wales’ largest, spanning 823 square miles. It’s full of wonderful trails, tranquil villages and spectacular views. So pack your walking boots!
With over 600 castles in Wales, there are certainly plenty to visit whilst in North Wales. Some are even UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Beaumaris, Conwy, Caernarfon and Harlech.
North Wales is also home to several beaches and seaside towns. Black Rock Sands at Morfa Bychan, the five miles of sand at Prestatyn and the sheltered bays of the Llŷn Peninsula are must-see beaches.
From Zip World at Penrhyn Quarry - the fastest zipline in the world - to surfing and kayaking, there's lots of fun stuff to do. If you're a sealife fan, then Cardigan Bay features dolphins and seals.
If you're a surfer, kayaker or general adventurer, you can take your pick from fearsome tidal races or sheltered bays and estuaries. Or you can stick to the miles of sandy beaches, including the Blue Flag-worthy Black Rock Sands.
For a day off from big days out, try a breathtaking train journey through the Cambrian coastlines of Snowdonia National Park. Or go medieval on a castle visit: Beaumaris, Caernarfon, Conwy and Harlech are all pristine examples of historical military architecture.
Visit Prestatyn for a lovely retail park, beach, plus nice bars and restaurants for adults to enjoy. Or Zip World is only an hour away: great for the adrenaline-loving family or couple!
The beach near Greenacres is fabulous, and tots can sit at the edge of the water building their sand castles. I would also recommend a trip on the steam train, or sitting on the platform having a coffee while watching the trains come and go.
Walk on the beach towards Talacre Lighthouse - you can take dogs on our beach all-year-round!
I would also recommend a drive out or steam-train ride to Beddgelert: a picturesque local village with craft shops and pubs and beautiful riverside walks, plus a local legend about a dog. A must visit!
Not far from park is Nova Prestatyn – it has an indoor play area, swimming pool and splash pool, an outdoor park and cafes.
