  • 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.

Robert S.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Spacious pitch (hard fully serviced) clean facilities with plenty of staff maintaining the site. Close to Llanberis for Snowdon with plenty of other accessible walking routes nearby. Easy checking with clear instructions.

Disliked Nothing other than a rude neighbour but that’s not the site’s fault.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Lovely location with fabulous views of the mountains. Good sized plots, convenient location. Stayed after schools had returned so quieter which we prefer. Average facilities on the fields. Option to use the better facilities in main building at entry.

Disliked Quite a walk to the toilets/showers especially in the rain!

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Everything about this site is excellent, from the friendly helpful staff to the cleanliness of the site itself. Didn't need to use ramps as the pitch was nice and level and the showers and toilets were first class with several located around the site. Great views too from the pitch. If you've got kids no problem as there's a couple of play areas on site plus a games room. There's a shop too and a few washing machines and driers. All in all a top site and a good price too 👍

Liked Great location, clean and well looked after.

Very friendly and helpful staff, especially during some particularly rough weather which saw damage to our tent and the guys were quick with spares which avoided disaster.

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.
