FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked: Site is positioned in absolutely beautiful area surrounded by hills. It’s very peaceful. There is steam train going past through the day which is nice to see and hear and kids loved looking at it. It has got two playgrounds and it’s very well maintained. We would happily come back. Showers are nice and hot and have normal tap so you don’t have to keep pushing button all the time to keep hot water coming.
Disliked: Can’t think of anything negative about this site.

Liked: The campsite is well organised, with plenty of the toilet/shower facilities. The camp shop had a good variety of items from food to camping extras. The plots are lined with hedges which provided some wind shelter.
Disliked: We were given a pitch right next to a stream. The sound of the water was lovely but the mosquitoes were not. We felt like we were being attacked constantly. I would suggest requesting to not be pitched there. Also they have a plan for how you need to pitch the tent in your assigned plot. This isn't so much a problem unless you have an electric cable that is on the shorter side like mine. I was offered the option of renting one at £5 a day but thankfully the tent next to me offered to swap cables, as their's was longer.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked: - Good clean showers etc - Playgrounds on site - reasonably spacious pitches in general. - family friendly - The fact the Welsh Highland railway runs through the camp site - Beautiful location, within reasonable distance of attractions
Disliked: - our particular pitch was a squeeze to fit 2 cars in plus tent despite us specifying the largest size available - the automatic gate didn't seem to recognise our second car. And we weren't told the code till after we got stuck waiting. Perhaps both registrations should have been taken.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked: I recently had an unforgettable camping experience at Bryn Gloch, located in the heart of Snowdonia National Park. This campsite offers easy access to the Snowdon Ranger Path, which we hiked with our 3 and 5-year-old children. The trail was manageable for our little ones, and the stunning views were well worth the effort. Bryn Gloch is surrounded by beautiful lakes, providing excellent opportunities for kayaking. Additionally, the campsite features a lovely mountain river, perfect for children's swimming as it is not deep, or for invigorating cold-water plunges. The serene environment and picturesque scenery made our stay truly special. The campsite itself was well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Bryn Gloch for anyone looking to enjoy nature and adventure with their family.
