  • 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.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked A friendly warm welcoming upon arrival and everything explained to us. The layout was fantastic, especially the beautiful morning views. This was a perfect choice for a weekend away with our son to experience his first camping trip. Toilets and site was very clean.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Everything, clean toilets, clean site, clean showers. Beautiful weather, plenty space, greeted on arrival, easy to find.

To say there are plenty of reviews about poor signal, we got really good signal, better than the signal we get at home! Full bars on 4G.

My partner was asked to stay when we was leaving to help with the hay bales, but we were booked in for toboggan's so couldn’t, gutted as this would of been an experience we’ve never had before.

Waking up and seeing the Pygmy goats running around every morning was so cute!

Thank you for having us, we will return at some point in the future with our 4 children.

Good site for tents and the pods are great.

Camping pod (twin)

Liked lovely little site, only 4 pods and the rest of the area is for tents and campers. the pod had everything you need for an overnight stay,( you have to bring your own sleeping bags), toilets and showers where clean, so was the washing up area.
well placed for visiting the nearby beaches and towns.
Warm, friendly welcome from Hosts on arrival.

Disliked Sat Nav does not take you to the address,but it is fairly close, when you see the blue sided barn you have found it, look for the farm gate with the Pitch up sign on and drive in,
Pod would benefit from a shelf or two, maybe somewhere to hang keys, but this didn't detract from the stay

The amazing views…

Chris S.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Very much privacy,

Disliked The road to the campsite was terrible and dangerous! this campsite is so remote, probably great for real nature lovers. when we finally found the campsite after sweating and toiling, we saw an empty field. we immediately turned around, despite having paid. I have to admit that we cannot judge the friendliness of the manager, because we did not speak to him

From the manager: Thank you for booking onto our peaceful rural campsite which is within easy reach of the coast and many places of interest. It seems that you didn't follow the directions given in the information or even ring us to ask for help. We tried to ring you and sent a text to see if you were still coming but received no response and you just didn't show up! Then to give us a 1/10 review when you didn't even stay is very unreasonable.

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).
