What customers say
Aros Glan Morfa is a unique, eco-friendly campsite praised for its natural setting, relaxing vibe, and proximity to Caernarfon. Guests loved the wild swimming, clean facilities, and artistic touches. Friendly owners and free-roaming chickens are a hit. A few noted tricky entrance access, possible shower waits, and some pitches near bins or firm ground. Small and peaceful, with fun games for all.

River View Canvas Trailer Tent ready tent (riverside)
Liked Our stay was wonderous.
The environment is really lovely and relaxed - constant sound of the river. The tent was nice and spacious. We really enjoyed wild swimming! I made three herbal remedies on the fire. All instructions for fire wood and payment were very clear.
The owners were very responsive when I had questions and generally nice people.
Ten out of ten would recommend and visit again

Nice rustic site, Very relaxing and good location
Caban Tarian ready tent (adults only)
Liked The cabin was really stunning and we really enjoyed the peace and quiet and sitting out front in the evening with a bottle of wine just watching the river
The bed was so comfortable
Disliked The only thing letting the cabin down was no electricity
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your clowning review.
The cabin is off grid, an environmentally friendly alternative to our day to day lives. I hope you found the light switch run by solar battery and the USB charging points.
All around a great site. Would stay again and recommend 👌
Primitive gravel campervan campsite
Liked What an amazing site. Couldn't of asked for a greater venue. Rustic, nature vibe, free range chickens. Lovely place. Plenty to do. The owners have added plenty of unique features and attention to details. Plenty of games available, a big central camp fire. Loads to discover and I felt years younger after swimming in the wild waters. The toilet and shower block is second to none.
Disliked Only 1 criticism if I had to but more to advise others is the entrance to the place is a bit hard to find. Was passed it twice before driving down.

Great site, would recommend
Hammock primitive forest floor tent campsite (no pets)
Liked Lovely site, quiet and small and quiet. Easy access to the river for wild swimming, which is fantastic. Was pleasantly surprised that there was also table tennis, badminton and a trampoline set up on site. Very easy access to the town.
Disliked Was confused by ‘hammock forest floor’ description and didn’t realise it was only for hammocks, no tent pitch. Apparently I’m not the first to make this mistake - I’m not a seasoned camper and it was my misunderstanding. The guy was great and sorted this immediately for us on arrival so no harm done, just worth being aware of.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your kind review.
The hammock pitch is always good fun, some manage it, others end up in their tent in the main campsite but it's certainly a fun option if you bring a hammock.
Little gem

Primitive gravel campervan campsite
Liked We stayed at this site in our campervan for 2 nights in Aug 2025 and really liked it.
The facilities were clean and fab. It was a short 15 min walk to the castle (with some great views from the path) and the Ffestiniog line station. We swam in the river but sadly didn’t use the hot bath.
What we liked most was the effort and care by the owners to make the site/facilities sustainable, quirky and arty as well as functional.
Disliked Not a dislike but just to note that the gravel pitches are hard packed with no chance of taking a tent style awning peg nor any grass between them /to the sides to take one.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your kind review, very much appreciated from all at Aros Glan Morfa.
With a good mallet we have had customer put an awning up on the gravel pitch or we can park you the other side of the site where the ground is not so hard. We will check what is on the listing to make it clearer but please always talk to us once you are here and we will try and accommodate needs.
