  • Peaceful rural location with superb views near Llangernyw, North Wales
  • A 25-minute drive to Conwy Castle; Snowdonia National Park 30 minutes
  • Animals and free-range hens on site; pub and shop five minutes’ drive
A small and easy-going sort of place with spectacular views over the Snowdonia foothills, pop-up Glan Y Gors campsite near Abergele sits on a peaceful, rural hilltop. It’s on the outskirts of the traditional Welsh village of Llangernyw, and very well placed for masses of things to do and see in North Wales. That is, of course, if you and the kids can ever stop gazing at all the cute animals sharing the five-acre smallholding with you. Pedigree Soay sheep and playful Pygmy goats are bred here, while happy free-range hens get busy laying delicious eggs for your breakfast – buy them from the honesty box. Dogs are welcome too on your Welsh sojourn (just keep them under control around the livestock please) and it’s a doodle to exercise them as footpaths lead directly from the camping field. If you are off out seeing the sights by day, do try to get back to home base on a clear night to see the colourful sunset and later lie back around the barbecues to take in the glittering night skies. With a basics shop and post office, Llangernyw village (five minutes’ drive) also offers up a friendly pub serving home-cooked food and real ales; it also has a takeaway service so you can have cosy suppers around the campfire.

What customers say

A peaceful bush campsite with ripper sunset views. Reviewers rave about the friendly owners, clean basic facilities, and quiet vibe. Plenty of space, safe for kids, and farm animals too. Some found it a bit windy and the access roads tight, but most loved it and want to come back.

Debra S.

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked facilities were clean and spacious, good recycling ethos, quiet area, lovely sunset, lots of space for camping and for kids to play, close to a few towns/villages for supplies and days out, campfires allowed

Disliked i didn’t dislike anything about the actual campsite but beware that the roads to it are very narrow, nothing the owners can do about this of course but just thought I’d let others know incase they have a really large vehicle.

Camping pod (double)

Liked Great little camp site, quite and rural.
Stayed in the glamping pod, came with bed and amenities. Pet friendly too.
Owners are lovely and on hand should you have any issues.

Disliked Not so much the camp site just the sat nav and the hair pin bend to get upto the camp site.

Again not the camp site but mobile signal is temperamental but take advantage of that and have a digital detox

Leslie G.

Camping pod (double)

Liked The views are amazing the site is peaceful

Disliked The disgustingly unclean toilet and shower block we left a day early because of them as we could not even bring ourselves to use them
In over 20 years camping they are the most unclean showers we have came across

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: The toilets and showers are checked and cleaned regularly to a high standard throughout every day. Any problems should be reported to us immediately however this guest didn't report any issues during their stay. They left the pod insecure and didn't notify us that they had left early or communicate in any way.

Would use the site again.

Local attractions

Pretty Llangernyw (five minutes’ drive) has an unusual whitewashed church and is well-known for the (circa) 5,000-year-old yew tree in the graveyard. Close by is the Sir Henry Jones Museum, laid out with period rooms and a shoe-maker’s workshop in the white-washed birthplace of the famous Welsh philosopher. Fancy ticking a few major attractions off the bucket list? Conwy Castle (25 minutes) is open for tours of the former royal apartments, while there are bracing walks and Irish Sea panoramas up the Great Orme in Llandudno (half an hour). Glittering sands await on the expansive Colwyn Bay Beach (15 minutes), and there are gorgeous, colourful (especially in spring and autumn) walks to be had at National Trust-owned Bodnant Garden (20 minutes). And of course, the Snowdonia National Park (half an hour) is the scenic backdrop to many, many mountain hiking and biking adventures, and you can explore deep underground at the National Slate Museum (an hour) or try to get your balance on the consistent surfing breaks at Surf Snowdonia (half an hour). Adrenaline-seekers can also zoom down high wires at Zip World Fforest (25 minutes).
