  • Basic site overlooking the stunning north Wales countryside
  • A 10-minute drive to Conwy, its castle and the beach at Colwyn Bay
  • A couple of miles from Glan Conwy for shops, pubs and restaurants
The crux of coming to Conwy on holiday? Exploring the North Wales castles, countryside and coast, of course. Handy then that all of these three are within easy access of Penrhiw Uchaf Caravan Site and its lush meadows. This basic site is set on a working farm and comes with toilet and shower facilities. On day trips from this park, veer north and skirt the seaside (10 minutes’ drive or so) to bask on Colwyn Bay and Conwy Morfa beaches or set off south east to the centre of Snowdonia National Park (half an hour) and take on the hillwalking trails. If you’d rather not get your heart rate spiking far above normal while on holiday, settle in at the park to gaze at the gorgeously green landscape, watching the lambs frolic in the fields or just staying put and soaking up the peaceful vibes. Making your own meals on the camping stove? Grab bits and bobs from a shop a couple of miles away in Glan Conwy – restaurants and pubs are here as well.

What customers say

A tranquil, tidy site with great owners. Pitches have electric/water. Basic but clean loos. Lovely setting by a stream for a proper chill. Some found roads tricky, a few cleanliness issues, but most loved it & would return.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Pretty view from caravan.
Individual taps per pitch.

Disliked Access to the site is along a single track road, woe betide if you meet a vehicle coming the other direction.
Access to camping area is over a narrow bridge which is tricky with a long vehicle and long caravan - and way harder getting out as there isn't space to turn while towing a caravan without driving on the grassy slope which can be slippery - which we found to our cost.
The pitches are essentially along the stoney road, so cars drive very close to the awnings as the drive on and off the site.
The toilets need updating for the 21st century. I don't think they were cleaned in the 4 days we were there. Certainly the paper towel dispenser was never empty throughout our stay. (The only method of drying your hands). The elsan disposal was the most disgusting I have experienced in the last 30 years - which includes stays at several festival sites!
Communication from the owners was extremely poor, before we arrived we asked to stay another couple of nights as our plans had changed. They said they weren't sure and would text us. No text in the next 4 days. We considered it a lucky escape.

Local attractions

This park’s close to several of the top sightseeing spots in north Wales. Flit to the fantastically preserved Conwy Castle (10 minutes’ drive) to feast your eyes on fortifications dating back to the 13th century, making sure to walk the walls as well for views over the town below. Descend into the streets and have a quick stop at the Smallest House in Great Britain, followed up by a longer one at the restored Elizabethan-era home Plas Mawr. Later on, browse the boutiques before seeking out a cosy pub for a beverage or two. For strolls surrounded by spectacular scenery, make your way to the National Trust’s Bodnant Garden (10 minutes) and amble through the 80 acres of wildflower meadows, glades and pristine lawns set on a hillside. Too placid for your tastes? Amp up your trip with a turn on the artificial waves at Adventure Parc Snowdonia (20 minutes) or zoom down a zipwire suspended above a disused slate quarry at Zipworld (half an hour away).
