  • 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.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Cleanliness of site and all facilities. Felt safe. Well presented. Very pretty overall. Plenty of space. Friendly cafe and pop up bar/cocktails.

Disliked: Reception shut on arrival (envelope named with directions easy to follow but not the same as the personal touch)

Shop opened 10am and shut early. Would prefer to be able to buy fresh milk and break from 8am.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: I loved everything about this trip, we travelled as large group with children aged from 5 to 15. There was something for everyone and we all had an amazing stay, the 2 parks and football pitches on site were great for all of the children and the little lake with the rope swing was also great fun too. There was so many walks nearby and it was lovely to get out and about in nature and see all the local wildlife, we also took a short ride to Caernarfon which made a great day out. The tipsy bar was really nice as we were able to sit and enjoy a cocktail whilst the children played in the park on an evening. The campsite had a lovely relaxing atmosphere and waking up to the scenery was beautiful. I would definitely come here again.

Disliked: Nothing at all

Fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked: Beautiful site, friendly staff, great location for Devils Bridge and other attractions. One of the best sets of campsite toilet/shower facilities we’ve seen.

Disliked: Last day there was no hot water so had a cold shower- a minor issue that’s easily rectified and was a one off.

Aran 3 bedroom static caravan (pet friendly)

Liked: Our caravan living area was spacious and included all the facilities we needed. Location was ideal to explore the local area. Although we didn't try it, the food van on site was handy. Interaction with staff at reception was great, very friendly and helpful.

Disliked: Booking confirmation could have made it clearer where the 2nd vehicle should have parked. Bedrooms are a little small although we don't have much experience of caravans so this may be the norm.

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.
