Bryn Gloch Caravan and Camping Park

Liked Site was tidy and well managed, the pitches are large and not to tightly packed together. Nice tidy bathrooms and facilities. Loads of shower and toilet blocks throughout the site. The shepherd hut style ones are better for hair rinsing and a little more family friendly as you have a toilet and washing up facilities in one station. 2 play grounds and bar for the adults and a food truck. Lots of nice places to drive too and not far from town enough to keep us busy for a long weekend in the rain. Short journey off the 55 so if your new to towing it's not down too many winding lanes. Reception is tidy and helpful. The river is a nice aspect that the kids can splash in and the mountain railway goes through the site so any train enthusiasts will be happy. Its not loud or intrusive so nothing to bother you. Very dog friendly around the area so that's nice. Hard standing pitches are well built, so take extra pegs and a good hammer!

Disliked If you'd rather prefer a more powerful shower use the smaller blocks.

Liked Site was lovely and well presented. Fully serviced grass pitch was well laid out with electric, water and drainage very close, relatively level. Toilets and showers cleaned regularly. Good phone and 4G signal all over the park. WiFi was one of the best we've used on a site.

Disliked Not enough toilets and showers on the field for the amount of people staying (school holidays), although all had the option to use blocks on other fields, these were also busy at peak times.

Liked The pitches are flat and the site is excellent for the kids biking safely. We camped one hedgerow away from the shallow river which the kids loved. The views are stunning and Elephant Mountain was a constant topic of conversation. We also loved hearing the steam train pass by the site twice a day.
This is a remote site and peaceful. There are small local shops for groceries about 10 minutes drive away and we visited Caernarfon several times to visit the castle, Whistling Dragon Steam train, soft play and a lovely Chinese restaurant. We also visited Gypsy Wood which was great fun for a few hours with younger children.
On the way home we visited Zip World and the Pen Y Pass Road was absolutely stunning with natural waterfalls, sheep, and incredible views. Highly recommend venturing out and driving it, with the little village of Betws-y-Coed a beautiful destination for a walk, coffee and lunch.
We really enjoyed our stay at Bryn Gloch. It ticked the boxes for our Welsh countryside camping trip.

Disliked There was sometimes a queue for the shepherd hut toilets and showers. Each toilet is separate with a front door so offered good privacy but don’t expect lots of toilets in cubicles with communal wash basins for cleaning hands and brushing teeth. Queues build up when it’s bed time and throughout the morning so bringing a brolly for wet weather is defo recommended.

There is wifi but it was so intermittent, I couldn’t use it on my phone. My husband couldn’t either but he had a couple of bars of mobile signal whereas I had none. This probably depends on which pitch number you are.

We were disappointed that when we went to order wood fired pizzas on Wednesday evening, even though it was 45 mins before they closed, we were told they had sold out. We were banking on that being our kids dinner so had to get in the car and drive for a chippy tea which isn’t local. The shop closes at 5pm on site. I think the pizza trailer will be separate business than Bryn Gloch so not their fault but would be useful to have more info perhaps.

Liked Showers with no push button and hairdryers
Views
Staff helpful, and regular drive arounds to check noise levels etc
Stream for the kids in hot weather was beautiful

Disliked Shepherds hut toilets (spec field 6) always quite grotty and looked like they needed a good scrub. The setup with dish washing facilities outside the doors or showers was not great. When 3 showers in use only 2 toilets available. Can not see from the outside if in use, meaning having to try all handles if doors closed - not ideal
Have stayed on this site previously but facilities in another local sister site were cleaner

Liked Views and location was amazing. Small river and games room for the kids

Disliked Not enough showers on field 6 with half hour wait.
Pizza van that turned up took hours to get a pizza then another half hour wait when given a collection time. The lady was on her own and had really bad customer service and attitude
