  • Peaceful and well-maintained site on the edge of Clocaenog forest
  • A 15-minute drive from Llyn Brenig; 25 minutes from Betws-y-Coed
  • Modern site with easy access for large vehicles
Peace, quiet and woodland explores await at Parc Pen Y Bryn, a laidback, small-scale holiday park on the edge of Clocaenog forest. Some of north Wales' finest spots – like Llyn Brenig, Betws-y-Coed and Snowdonia National Park – are within easy reach of this niftily-located site. There's hardly a house to be seen at this secluded spot, where you can admire valley views and, in the distance, watch wind turbines turning slowly in the breeze. Well-placed outdoor furniture is on hand for those looking to sit in the open air and take it all in (perhaps, as per the site's pics, with a glass of vino). Parc Pen Y Bryn's top-notch hardstanding pitches make it simple for those travelling with tourers to roll up and relax. (The managers are also keen to point out that pesky narrow lanes won't get between you and your hols at this easily accessible site.) As well as that, the small number of pitches means there'll be ample room to roam at this spacious site, including for kids and dogs. The modern facilities aren't half bad either: the well-kept toilet and shower block can accommodate peeps who haven't brought their own. Those partial to cooking over coals can also set up a barbecue. Clawddnewydd, with its shop and community-run pub, is a 10-minute drive away (the site managers particularly recommend swinging by for Sunday lunch). The bigger town of Corwen on the river Dee is also close by (20 minutes).

Liked: Another lovely long Easter weekend spent in such a lovely setting, just peace and quiet and amazing views. We returned here as enjoyed our stay last year. Great space for manoeuvring on and off the pitch. No issues with our twin axle caravan. Facilities nice and clean and love the little kitchen which is much appreciated when washing up after a meal. Visited Llandudno, Rhyl, Erdigg at Wrexham and Bodnant Gardens whilst staying. Will return soon.

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: The quietness of the site was fantastic, in a lovely location. It was raining whilst we were there in March 2024 but the pitches proved to be well drained. The facilities were up to expectation, with everything in working order.

Liked: Peaceful and quiet, we didn't hear much road noise , was nice to hear owls hooting at night , bird song in the morning Big pitch with electric Spring water available Recycle bins/rubbish bins If you wanted your own fire uou could buy wood and use the fire pits

Disliked: Toilets and showers need updating but we're clean but dated, water taps weren't very good as they had put zip tieson so couldn't use the tap properly to wash your hands Not a specific place allocated for waste water

Local attractions

Llyn Brenig (15 minutes' drive) is likely to prove popular with experienced fishing fans – the trout here spend their whole life in cold Welsh water, so they're hardier than most and have something of a feisty reputation. There's also bike hire available and six varied lakeside trails to choose from. Betws-y-Coed (25 minutes) is a hub for train fans, who can contentedly chug along on the Conwy Valley narrow-gauge railway. (The mainline station also backs right onto a range of cafés, restaurants and shops, one of which is housed in a converted carriage.) A short walk outside the town are the Swallow Falls, where you can watch the Llugwy foaming over the rugged rocks. Want to use your time in north Wales to delve into the country's industrial past? The fably laid out (and free to enter) National Slate Museum (an hour) will be the one for you. While you're here, make sure to visit Clocaenog Forest (five minutes), where miles of walking and cycling trails are waiting to be explored. Peaceful woodlands, heather moorland, streams, waterfalls and lots of wildlife (including red squirrels, crossbills, black grouse and wild horses) are just some of the things to look out for here
