  • Peaceful dog-friendly site with views of Eryri (Snowdonia)
  • On the banks of the river Gwyrfai; a 10 minute-drive from Caernarfon
  • Walking routes directly from the site; playground and games room
Adventurous types, unite, and make your way to Bryn Gloch Caravan and Camping Park. This is the type of place where holidaymakers can hike all day long, and it's peaceful too, on the banks of the river Gwyrfai with views of the Eryri (Snowdonia) mountains and the north Wales countryside. There are walking routes directly from the site – good news for those with dogs or a lust for adventure. One of the UK’s longest heritage railways, the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways, passes through the site on its 25-mile journey past the foot of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon). You might want to board it yourself Caernarfon (10 minutes’ drive) and see if you can spot your patch of land as you pass by. That’s after you’ve experienced one of the boat trips that run along the Menai Strait from the quayside below Caernarfon Castle, of course. There’s a very generous serving of facilities at Bryn Gloch Caravan and Camping Park, from heated bathrooms and wifi to playgrounds and a games room. The pitches are spacious, giving you plenty of opportunities to soak in the scenery.

What customers say

This spacious, well-maintained campsite offers stunning mountain views and excellent facilities, including clean shower blocks and play areas. Located conveniently for Snowdonia adventures, visitors praise the friendly, helpful staff and the beautiful riverside setting. Pitches are generally generous. While most found the site peaceful, some noted it can be busy, especially during peak times, with occasional noise from other guests or nearby dog kennels.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Just got back from our weekend here and honestly loved it. The campsite was immaculate, staff were incredible (especially when your child needs them to dismantle park equipment after an accident). Pitch size was great and especially field 3 where there is a play park in the centre. I enjoyed that there was a cut off and the ‘park warden’ came at night to close the park which allowed for the night to calm down and also helped the noise.
(I have an 8 month old also).
There is a beautiful river running through which we did some wild swimming too. I would recommend and will also be returning!

Electric grass pitch

Liked Fabulously maintained pitches, our request for by the river was met. Ample space for our rather large tent. Campsite is clean, well maintained and spacious. It’s quiet and feels safe.

Disliked Twice I was caught out by shower facilities being cleaned at 9am, which I couldn’t understand as it’s peak time for people wanting to use them.

Local attractions

Legend says Gelert, a hound belonging to a Welsh prince, is buried in Beddgelert (15 minutes’ drive). Visit the grave, take in the views from the Aberglaslyn Pass (15 minutes) and then visit the Sygun Copper Mine (20 minutes) to learn more about the conditions in 19th-century mines. Adventurous types can tackle the fastest zipwire in the world at Zip World Penrhyn Quarry (half an hour). With underground trampolines based in slate caverns, you’re likely to work up a sweat. GreenWood Family Park (20 minutes) has traditional rides, including family-friendly rollercoasters. Where next? Perhaps Caernarfon Airport (25 minutes), where there’s an aviation museum and pleasure flights along the Menai Strait and around Snowdon? Portmeirion (35 minutes), an Italianate village featured on the telly? Or Llanberis (20 minutes), where the mountain railway departs? Llanberis is close to the National Slate Museum (20 minutes), which has the largest working water wheel in Britain.
