Visitor image of the great views (added by manager 01 Mar 2023)

Peaceful rural location with superb views near Llangernyw, North Wales
A 25-minute drive to Conwy Castle; Snowdonia National Park 30 minutes
Animals and free-range hens on site; pub and shop five minutes’ drive

A small and easy-going sort of place with spectacular views over the Snowdonia foothills, pop-up Glan Y Gors campsite near Abergele sits on a peaceful, rural hilltop. It’s on the outskirts of the traditional Welsh village of Llangernyw, and very well placed for masses of things to do and see in North Wales. That is, of course, if you and the kids can ever stop gazing at all the cute animals sharing the five-acre smallholding with you. Pedigree Soay sheep and playful Pygmy goats are bred here, while happy free-range hens get busy laying delicious eggs for your breakfast – buy them from the honesty box. Dogs are welcome too on your Welsh sojourn (just keep them under control around the livestock please) and it’s a doodle to exercise them as footpaths lead directly from the camping field. If you are off out seeing the sights by day, do try to get back to home base on a clear night to see the colourful sunset and later lie back around the barbecues to take in the glittering night skies. With a basics shop and post office, Llangernyw village (five minutes’ drive) also offers up a friendly pub serving home-cooked food and real ales; it also has a takeaway service so you can have cosy suppers around the campfire.

Chloe J. Sept 2024

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: I really lovely quite site. Lots of animals around to see and beautiful views. A lovely warm shower and the owner made sure we were able to park both our vans together despite only one of us having an electric hook up. There was a really lovely atmosphere on site as well which was in no way crowded.

Disliked: The locks on the toilets were a little difficult to lock and unlock.

Anonymous Sept 2024

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: What a fantastic weekend we've just had at Glan Y Gors! 1. The site was incredibly clean, tidy and well looked after. 2. Very quiet, there weren't many people on the site whilst we were there but everyone was respectful of the rules. 3. Toilets were cleaned regularly and the shower was nice and hot. 4. Amazing sunsets and star gazing. 5. The kids loved the animals that were around the site. Overall it's a basic but clean and comfortable site with friendly owners.

Disliked: There was no fire wood to purchase on site, this is usually a rule with sites where fires are allowed so not a negative but maybe just state on the website that we need to bring our own. It wasn't an issue so much as we just went out and purchased some but we didn't have any for our first night.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: We stayed in our van at Glan Y Gors for a night and really loved the site. We were met on arrival and the owner (can't remember your name, sorry!) was super helpful and welcoming. There were a few other couples, some young families and a couple of groups of friends, and it felt like a really friendly, chilled site. It was also lovely to see the animals (although one of the goats clearly didn't like me, but I did make friends with one of the cats) and the views were amazing. We got an incredible sunset, which was an added bonus. Overall, really lovely site and will definitely be back.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Quiet, organised campsite with fantastic views and all the basic facilities you need. Great to have the animals around for the kids to see.

Disliked: Showers worked well but the cubicles are a little confined. Very manageable unless you are a little bigger. Honestly, this was the only negative.

Benjamin P. Sept 2024

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Both Jeff and Karen are beautiful people who are so helpful. I stayed for 3 days and then booked again and again and ended up staying 11 days. The views are stunning and the sunsets are beautiful. It’s worth it for a quiet place to relax or to take a family. Plenty of grass to play on and the showers and toilets are cleaned all the time. I can’t fault this place. I will be back. Thanks you to both of you especially for the free night when I picked the wrong pitch and paid too much that was incredibly kind, see you both soon. And to anyone looking this is a lovely quiet place with Abergele beach about 15-20 mins away with free parking and lots of fun things for kids and adults to do alike also same distant to Colwyn bay. Endless choices. Plus a large Tesco is easily accessible on the way :-) Ben

Disliked: Nothing!

Liked: The campsite is very clean, the toilets and showers are maintained and cleaned regularly the owners of the site are very friendly and happy to help you and suggest places to go or see nearby. The night sky views are amazing due to nearly no light pollution. Will come back and camp again and also recommend it to anyone who wants a peaceful stay.

Local attractions

Pretty Llangernyw (five minutes’ drive) has an unusual whitewashed church and is well-known for the (circa) 5,000-year-old yew tree in the graveyard. Close by is the Sir Henry Jones Museum, laid out with period rooms and a shoe-maker’s workshop in the white-washed birthplace of the famous Welsh philosopher. Fancy ticking a few major attractions off the bucket list? Conwy Castle (25 minutes) is open for tours of the former royal apartments, while there are bracing walks and Irish Sea panoramas up the Great Orme in Llandudno (half an hour). Glittering sands await on the expansive Colwyn Bay Beach (15 minutes), and there are gorgeous, colourful (especially in spring and autumn) walks to be had at National Trust-owned Bodnant Garden (20 minutes). And of course, the Snowdonia National Park (half an hour) is the scenic backdrop to many, many mountain hiking and biking adventures, and you can explore deep underground at the National Slate Museum (an hour) or try to get your balance on the consistent surfing breaks at Surf Snowdonia (half an hour). Adrenaline-seekers can also zoom down high wires at Zip World Fforest (25 minutes).
