  • Peaceful rural location with superb views near Llangernyw, North Wales
  • A 25-minute drive to Conwy Castle; Eryri National Park 30 minutes
  • Animals and free-range hens on site; pub and shop five minutes’ drive
A small and easygoing sort of place with spectacular views over the Eryri (Snowdonia) foothills, pop-up Glan Y Gors campsite near Abergele sits on a peaceful rural hilltop. It’s a few minutes' drive from 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 fresh 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.

Camping pod

Liked We stayed in a pod as we knew windy weather was due. Perfect location. Geoff & Karen are lovely hosts & so helpful. The drive to the site is so lovely & away from the fast paced life we tend to live at. Honestly will never understand why people actually moan about the lanes being scary. Do people want a motorway to the door!! Toilets & showers were great & the best bit was lovely fresh eggs to eat & a box to take home. We shall be back :))Amanda & Phil

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked We had a fantastic time here. The hosts were lovely and the views were amazing. The facilities were much better than other campsites we had visited and the surroundings were absolutely beautiful. The host cleaned through the day and maintained the huts for new guests. He really worked his socks off and was so pleasant and polite.

Disliked Nothing, we enjoyed everything.

Powered grass RV campsite

Liked We had a lovely stay at Glan Y Gors Campsite. It was peaceful, quiet, and exactly what we were looking for. The kids especially loved visiting the goats and chickens at the top of the site, which was a really nice touch.

The service was excellent throughout our stay, and everyone was friendly and welcoming. We’d happily stay here again and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing family campsite.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great location, lovely owners and amazing views. We stayed here as a last minute night away to test out our new tentbox and we had a lovely time. Toilet and shower facilities were nice and clean which is all we ask for! Would definitely stay here again, thank you for a lovely stay! Phone signal was perfect too which we aren’t usually bothered about but it came in handy to watch the England game! We spent the day on Saturday in Llanrwst by the river and had a lovely meal in the eagle pub late afternoon, then came back to the campsite to set up and chill for the evening. We then went to Betws-y-coed for breakfast and spent a few hours at the river again before heading home. This site is in a great location for exploring North Wales

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 shoemaker’s workshop in the whitewashed birthplace of the famous Welsh philosopher. Fancy ticking a few major attractions off the sightseeing 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, Eryri (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 zoom down high wires at Zip World Betws-y-Coed (25 minutes).
