  • Peaceful family-run farm welcoming families and couples
  • Spectacular views over Cardigan Bay
  • Level field and refurbished toilet and shower facilities
Views, views and more views… ‘amazing’, ‘lovely, ‘beautiful’ and ‘well brilliant’ are among the verdicts on the vista at Uwch Glan Farm – prepare to have your jaw dropped. A vast sweep over Cardigan Bay and the peaks of the Rhiniog mountain range are the backdrop at this peaceful family-run Gwynedd site, from its vantage point in an elevated position above Llanfair village. You could (should) spend significant time on site just lazing about among this landscape, but aim to add local attractions to your itinerary too: the farm is a handy base for days out around Snowdonia National Park and the shopping towns of Porthmadog and Barmouth (you may have heard that beaches are rather special at these last two as well). The pitching field is mostly level and has toilet and shower facilities (one toilet and one shower room with toilet). Barbecues are allowed (Harlech is a mile and a half away for supplies), but several cafés, restaurants and pubs are within easy reach for dining out. The farm accommodates families and couples only. Please also note that the access road isn’t suitable for large motorhomes, so best to arrive in a smaller vehicle or with your trusty tent or trailer tent.

What customers say

This campsite offers amazing views and a peaceful vibe. The owner is consistently praised for being friendly and helpful. Pitches are usually flat and well-kept. Facilities are basic but clean. Some guests found the limited showers/toilets and narrow access road to be drawbacks during busy times.

Liked We enjoyed our holiday to Harlech and had a great time camping with our family. The owner was lovely but some things about the site did let it down.

The views were amazing overlooking the sea and hills which were full of cows. There was also a horse and some hens roaming around which our kids loved.

The location is fantastic as its 5 mins from Harlech castle and right in the middle of Barmouth and Porthmadog. We were spoilt with choice for days out.

Disliked The cleanliness was non existent. Was there for 4 nights and the toilets and shower weren’t cleaned once. There were used tampon applicators on the floor that hadn’t been picked up since we got there so who knows how long they had been there! The sanitary bin hadn’t been emptied the whole time either and it was full due to wrappers sticking out the lid. Another horrible thing was there was no soap in the loos the ENTIRE time we were there. So people were using the loo and then touching all the door handles without washing their hands 🤢🤢. Thankfully we carried our own soap to and from the loos. The only thing that was stocked up was toilet roll and even that ran out a few times but can be expected. Shower was… ok. Not too dirty but not the cleanest either and probably wasn’t cleaned when we were there. Felt like a biohazard.

The washing up station? Vile. Never seen anything so dirty. We filled up our own bowl and washed up at the tent.

We spoke to a couple who left after one night as they couldn’t use the facilities.

The bin area was a shambles to say the least.

I never did find the chemical disposal…

I don’t think we will be back unless things change which is a shame because it could be absolutely beautiful.

Local attractions

No need to travel far from those stunning views when venturing out around Gywnedd: famed attractions are only a few miles away. It’s only a couple of minutes’ drive from the farm to Harlech, the old town famed for 13th-century Harlech Castle which towers over the town, a fortress so fab that the folk at UNESCO have called it one of the finest examples of medieval military architecture in Europe. Harlech these days is a handsome seaside resort, home to a beach, sand dunes and the Royal Saint David's Golf Club to while away a day or two at; there’s also access very close by to the Wales Coast Path for hikes south to Barmouth (16.7 miles – of course you can do it). Staying local without such a mammoth effort, the path meanders past Llandanwg and Shell Island for hugely scenic views… via a few pubs along the way. For day trips by car, several options are well worth a look: try Criccieth and the Amgueddfa Lloyd George Museum 35 minutes’ drive away; Glasfryn Parc within 45, and the Fairbourne Miniature Railway, King Arthur's Labyrinth and the Beacon Climbing Centre all 50 to 55 minutes from the farm.
