Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Loved this site with its lovely pitches and utter tranquility. Wonderful toilet/shower block and a terrific host who is entirely approachable and extremely helpful.
Enjoyed a brief ride on the on-site narrow gauge railway, great to see proper enthusiasm.
Site is well placed for Bethesda, Zip World and the Snowdonia Slate Trail.
Gerne wieder.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked The site and its layout.
Disliked The facilities were not too clean and not serviced.
The loveliest campsite we stayed in, in North Wales
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked When you arrived at the campsite you are greeted by Carlo who runs the site, he takes you to the pitch personally and explains the lay of the land. Everything was done to the highest spec, and clean! The shower room was so lovely, and looked like it was from a hotel not a campsite! (It was £1 for a 5 minute shower, so remember to bring coins!). We stayed at Bryn Llys for two nights, and the first night we had a problem with the wind (we have a tent box) so Carlo found us a new pitch for the next evening no problems. The campsite and the owner were absolutely lovely and would definitely stay again! We definitely recommend. Very peaceful atmosphere!
Disliked The only thing I could think of is to have access to a hairdryer in the shower room! I understand of course this is a luxury!

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Lovely camp site, very clean, good facilities, and beautiful walks around the park, and friendly staff,
Disliked The only thing was the hedges needed a cut back as you enter the camp site, was a bit of a tight squeeze with our motor home, which it scratched alongside the motorhome as we drove through it, which was a shame as our van was a brand new motor home. Otherwise everything was perfect.

Disliked Nothing
A great location, a beautiful and peaceful site.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Absolutely beautiful site set in stunning grounds that you are encouraged to wander around. It’s like a secret garden every turn has something else to find!
Pitches well spaced and all hard standing. We were on the top pitches and the mountain views were beautiful. Mornings and evenings were spent admiring the views with a sense of calm and peace that was uplifting. We were sent a very helpful guide before arrival that included great location advice then welcomed in person and given the option of where to park with some insight into pros of each pitch too.
The site is enormous and yet they have only a few caravan/motorhome spaces which makes it feel intimate and relaxing.
Toilets always clean and very well kept. It now has a lovely shower room at £1.00 for 5 minutes of hot water which is plenty of time.
Lovely woodland walk to local shops.
Dog friendly site with lots of paths to walk with the reasonable,usual requests for using leads and immediate clean ups of course.
There are full recycling facilities on the site. Make sure you take green compost bags for your food waste as this has to be bagged before using the food bin.
Lots to see in the area and the site is well placed to make a great base for getting out and about in the day then returning back to relax and enjoy your evenings.
Disliked Nothing at all to dislike. Impossible to find fault. The town is a bit run down sadly however there are a couple of shops for groceries and take away food options if you want them. Also a few pubs/ restaurants open at various days of the week. With such a beautiful site and those stunning views if you fancy a relaxing drink I’d recommend heading back to the site anyway.
Maybe a washing up area would be nice but not essential from our perspective.
