  • Peaceful dog-friendly site with views of Eryri (Snowdonia)
  • 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.

What customers say

Spacious, level pitches in beautiful Snowdonia, ideal for walkers & families. Friendly, helpful staff and spotless site with great facilities, including hot showers. Lovely riverside setting, play areas, and close to Snowdon & Caernarfon Castle. Generally peaceful, though occasional farm/guest noise and intermittent WiFi were noted. Some queues for facilities at busy times. Highly recommended, many plan to return.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked We loved the scenic views from our pitch, river walk from the site. The staff were friendly throughout. The hard standing pitch was good in the rain, very quiet when we came in October. Shower was hot, with washing up station. We enjoyed our stay.

Eilio 2 bedroom static caravan (pet friendly)

Liked The static was very comfortable and the campsite itself is lovely. Very well situated to visit lots of local attractions. The facilities are second to none and I have never seen such large showers, which makes a massive change from the usual cramped ones where you can't even turn around. The pitches are a lovely size and the overall attractiveness of the site is amazing. The river side setting and BBQ area is very peaceful and relaxing and the dog walk is lovely, even when you don't have a dog with you.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked Everything, there wasn’t or isn’t anything not to like. Cleanest campsite we’ve stayed on, and views are worth the money alone. Lovely site, all the amenities needed, clean and spacious toilets/shower rooms, nice sized pitches and the dog walking area is a nice little touch

Disliked Honestly can’t say anything!

Owain shepherd's hut (pet friendly)

Liked We had an incredible stay at Bryn Gloch with our dog. We spent 3 nights in the Owain hut and it was perfect. Everyone there was lovely, always got a wave when you went past. Toilet blocks were within good access distance and were clean and easy to use. The hut itself was very clean also. The scenery was absolutely incredible, day and night. We were lucky to have sunny days with very starry nights. There was a few different walks from the hut across the river up into the forest. The little plug in heater in the hut was great! It’s a 15 minute drive to Caernarfon that has everything you need. So relaxed and a perfect escape from reality, sad to go home.

Disliked The mattress was on the uncomfortable side - springy and a bit drafty, would recommend to bring a mattress topper and that’ll do the trick! A shelf unit would be really helpful just to keep things off the table and handy storage.

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.
