  • On the banks of the river Gwyrfai; a 10 minute-drive from Caernarfon
  • Walking routes directly from the site; playground and games room
Adventurous types, unite, and make your way to Bryn Gloch Caravan and Camping Park. This is the type of place where holidaymakers can hike all day long, and it's peaceful too, on the banks of the river Gwyrfai with views of the Eryri (Snowdonia) mountains and the north Wales countryside. There are walking routes directly from the site – good news for those with dogs or a lust for adventure. One of the UK’s longest heritage railways, the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways, passes through the site on its 25-mile journey past the foot of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon). You might want to board it yourself Caernarfon (10 minutes’ drive) and see if you can spot your patch of land as you pass by. That’s after you’ve experienced one of the boat trips that run along the Menai Strait from the quayside below Caernarfon Castle, of course. There’s a very generous serving of facilities at Bryn Gloch Caravan and Camping Park, from heated bathrooms and wifi to playgrounds and a games room. The pitches are spacious, giving you plenty of opportunities to soak in the scenery.

Aran 3 bedroom static caravan (pet friendly)

Liked: Our caravan living area was spacious and included all the facilities we needed. Location was ideal to explore the local area. Although we didn't try it, the food van on site was handy. Interaction with staff at reception was great, very friendly and helpful.

Disliked: Booking confirmation could have made it clearer where the 2nd vehicle should have parked. Bedrooms are a little small although we don't have much experience of caravans so this may be the norm.

Fully-serviced grass site

Liked: A Fantastic Family-Friendly Campsite – Highly Recommended!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Bryn Gloch Campsite – from the warm welcome at arrival to the final moments of our trip, everything was exceptional. The location is stunning, surrounded by nature and close to some of Wales’ most iconic attractions like Caernarfon Castle, Portmeirion, and the Snowdon Mountain Railway.

The campsite is very spacious and incredibly well-maintained, making it perfect for both tents and caravans or campers. It’s extremely family-friendly, with plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained – from playgrounds and a pool to a cinema room and a lovely small river where children can safely play. The toilets and shower facilities were spotless, with reliable hot water throughout our stay.

Each pitch has access to electricity and water, and the site overall felt very safe thanks to the electric barriers that recognize registration plates. There’s also a small shop on-site stocked with essentials – basic but perfectly sufficient.

We didn’t get a chance to try the hot food, pizzas, or cocktails available on-site, but it was great to have those options available. The atmosphere across the whole campsite was calm and respectful, with everyone being friendly and considerate.

We stayed for 3 nights as a group of three families, each with children aged 8–15, and we all had an amazing time. This was only our third ever camping trip, and Bryn Gloch has truly convinced us to do more in the future.

Highly recommend this campsite for anyone looking for a relaxing, fun, and family-oriented getaway in a beautiful part of Wales!

Local attractions

Legend says Gelert, a hound belonging to a Welsh prince, is buried in Beddgelert (15 minutes’ drive). Visit the grave, take in the views from the Aberglaslyn Pass (15 minutes) and then visit the Sygun Copper Mine (20 minutes) to learn more about the conditions in 19th-century mines. Adventurous types can tackle the fastest zipwire in the world at Zip World Penrhyn Quarry (half an hour). With underground trampolines based in slate caverns, you’re likely to work up a sweat. GreenWood Family Park (20 minutes) has traditional rides, including family-friendly rollercoasters. Where next? Perhaps Caernarfon Airport (25 minutes), where there’s an aviation museum and pleasure flights along the Menai Strait and around Snowdon? Portmeirion (35 minutes), an Italianate village featured on the telly? Or Llanberis (20 minutes), where the mountain railway departs? Llanberis is close to the National Slate Museum (20 minutes), which has the largest working water wheel in Britain.
