  • Well-located simple site just outside Capelulo in Eryri National Park
  • Penmaenmawr beach five minutes' drive; 10 minutes to Conwy Castle
  • Easy access from A55; dogs welcome; pub three minutes' walk
This is a nifty location for a North Wales outdoor break – Y Glyn Fields is right at the top end of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park and only a couple of miles from the coast, putting you within easy reach of both countryside outings and seaside days. There’s easy access from the A55 North Wales Expressway and the coastal cycle path… and, perhaps most importantly, the local pub is only three minutes’ walk away… This laidback little site is just outside the village of Capelulo (which has a village shop and bus stop as well as the aforementioned pub) and five minutes’ drive from Penmaenmawr, a slightly larger town that has a convenience store, a pub, a café and a cluster of takeaways. A gym is opposite the site, and just a 10-minute walk away is a golf club that also serves food and drink. It’s a fairly simple setup here, with families, groups and dogs all welcome. Facilities stretch to just portable toilets, but you're welcome to bring along a barbecue, and you can add a gazebo or pup tent to your booking for a bit of extra living space if you like. It should be pretty easy to fill your days around here – there are heaps of outdoor activities around the national park and along the coast, and it’s easy to get to heritage sites like Conwy Castle or Llandudno’s Victorian pier. For a change of scenery, it’s also only about a 20-minute drive to the Menai Bridge for a day over on Anglesey.

What customers say

This campsite offers beautiful, peaceful surroundings with lovely views of hills and sea. Visitors praise the quiet atmosphere and friendly owners. Facilities include clean, basic portaloos. While the site is described as a simple field with a toilet, it's considered good value. Some guests noted the fields are on a slope and the presence of sheep may be an issue for those with dogs.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Beautiful setting, spectacular view. Friendly helpful owners when needed, we missed the turning and they were so kind and helpful helping us find our way. Simple set up was just what we needed as a base for exploring.

Disliked Portaloos were clean and functional. Pleasant enough compared to past experiences but soap and hand towels did run out over the course of our two night stay. Not a huge issue as we'd planned for a limited amenities site but did feel that it could have done with a little extra restocking considering it was peak of summer and a decent number of campers on site.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Not a lot to be honest. Field was on a hill so it made it very difficult to find a pitch level where we didn’t end up at the bottom of our tent in the middle of the night. However, the two port-a-loos were very clean with some very nice smelling soap in them and ample amounts of toilet roll

Our second night, we were the only two in the bottom field which was actually lively as we played music and did what we wanted, very nice.

The view of the hills were stunning too!! I think we picked the best week away to travel Great Britain!!!

Disliked The Fairy Glen 3 mins down the road was crap!!! If you like crap customer service, Bookers food marked up by 80% and extortionate prices then this is the place to be. You’d be far off better walking 20 mins down the road to the Gladstone.

Unfortunately, we won’t be returning!
