  • Basic site overlooking the stunning north Wales countryside
  • A 10-minute drive to Conwy, its castle and the beach at Colwyn Bay
  • A couple of miles from Glan Conwy for shops, pubs and restaurants
The crux of coming to Conwy on holiday? Exploring the North Wales castles, countryside and coast, of course. Handy then that all of these three are within easy access of Penrhiw Uchaf Caravan Site and its lush meadows. This basic site is set on a working farm and comes with toilet and shower facilities. On day trips from this park, veer north and skirt the seaside (10 minutes’ drive or so) to bask on Colwyn Bay and Conwy Morfa beaches or set off south east to the centre of Snowdonia National Park (half an hour) and take on the hillwalking trails. If you’d rather not get your heart rate spiking far above normal while on holiday, settle in at the park to gaze at the gorgeously green landscape, watching the lambs frolic in the fields or just staying put and soaking up the peaceful vibes. Making your own meals on the camping stove? Grab bits and bobs from a shop a couple of miles away in Glan Conwy – restaurants and pubs are here as well.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked The site is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and perfect for a relaxing escape.

The facilities were spotless, with lovely clean toilets and showers. We couldn't fault a single thing—everything was thoughtfully managed, ensuring an stress-free visit.

One feature we particularly loved was the book, DVD, and CD borrowing system, such a charming touch.

we wouldn’t hesitate to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet, well-kept site.

Liked Very quiet site. Hardstanding only which is not an issue for campervans. Easy access to water as each pitch had own water and electric. Very clean showers with hot water, clean toilets and covered washing up area. Loved waking up to bird song only.

Local attractions

This park’s close to several of the top sightseeing spots in north Wales. Flit to the fantastically preserved Conwy Castle (10 minutes’ drive) to feast your eyes on fortifications dating back to the 13th century, making sure to walk the walls as well for views over the town below. Descend into the streets and have a quick stop at the Smallest House in Great Britain, followed up by a longer one at the restored Elizabethan-era home Plas Mawr. Later on, browse the boutiques before seeking out a cosy pub for a beverage or two. For strolls surrounded by spectacular scenery, make your way to the National Trust’s Bodnant Garden (10 minutes) and amble through the 80 acres of wildflower meadows, glades and pristine lawns set on a hillside. Too placid for your tastes? Amp up your trip with a turn on the artificial waves at Adventure Parc Snowdonia (20 minutes) or zoom down a zipwire suspended above a disused slate quarry at Zipworld (half an hour away).
