  • 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.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Lovely level pitch with plenty of room and not far from bathrooms with nice hot showers and dishwashing facilities. Bryn Gloch accommodated our little family group so that we could camp together. The campsite is in beautiful surroundings. All of the staff were very friendly and nothing but helpful and the takeaway food from the little mobile food unit was ideal the evening before we had to pack up to go home. Staff recommended the C3 bus to Caernarfon so we could have a lovely lunch at The Black Boy with a couple of drinks after a walk round the magnificent castle. The bus stops at the site entrance (needs flagging down) at 20 min past the hour. Get off/back on (also 20 past the hour)outside Iceland supermarket (handy for a few provisions on the way back) for the castle/town centre. Super spot for walking up Snowden. Highly recommended.

Disliked Just remember - no one can filter inconsiderate people from booking any holiday. It’s just bad luck if they turn up during your stay.

Liked Loved how clean it was
All the staff were so friendly and you could tell they actually enjoyed working at the campsite
Tipsy trailer was a great addition
Ice cream van that came right outside your tent also!
And then the views were stunning
We had such a good time and will definitely be on the list to return

Disliked We were camping on field 6 and behind the hedges, near the path to go to the stream (on a different field) there was a family who I believe stayed there quite often in their caravan and they was so so loud at night and quite late on into the night too. We didn’t hear anyone tell them to quieten down even though the rules say quiet time should be from 9pm I believe? Tbf we didn’t complain either so can’t blame the staff but just an FYI if you are on field 6 near the hedges you may be up all night listening to them

Owain shepherd's hut (pet friendly)

Liked Beautiful setting in Snowdonia with a fresh water stream running through the campsite. Many amenities provided such as a BBQ area beside the stream and a walking circular route great for on site exercise. Whole campus managed to a very high standard with toilet and waste facilities cleaned daily and well stocked. Staff were very friendly and enquired if my stay went well. WIFI provided.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Friendly staff, was a bit confused following where the pitch was but it all made sense eventually, put it down to tiredness, the site was much larger than expected! Very well kept site, clean and very large showers lots of hot water, toilets were very clean. Plenty of water points and disposal areas. A brilliant dog 🐕 walking area one of the best l’ve seen, our b/collie loved his stay here plenty of walks straight from site. Not too far from Porthmadog 30 min drive, where there’s everything you need. Really enjoyed our stay 👍

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.
