  • 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.

What customers say

This spacious, well-maintained campsite offers stunning mountain views and excellent facilities, including clean shower blocks and play areas. Located conveniently for Snowdonia adventures, visitors praise the friendly, helpful staff and the beautiful riverside setting. Pitches are generally generous. While most found the site peaceful, some noted it can be busy, especially during peak times, with occasional noise from other guests or nearby dog kennels.

Fully-serviced grass pitch

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

Cheryl J.

Fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked Secure, clean, friendly, well organised and spacious.
We usually don't visit the same site twice as we're keen to explore different areas. However, we are already planning our next trip to Bryn Gloch as there are so many local places to discover nearby that our 3 night stay wasn't nearly long enough.
On site was friendly, clean and felt safe. Little luxury's that make things a touch more comfortable were easily accessable, for example, free WiFi at the pitch and showers that you don't have to press every 10 seconds!
The river running through the site was an unexpected highlight.... The kids played in there for hours.
Being pitched close to a play area, football pitch and a hidden gem of an entrance to a peaceful, scenic part of the river, with glorious views of the mountains, was an absolute bonus!

Disliked If I had to be extremely picky...... A few extra lights around the site at night would have made our stay absolutely perfect.
Take a good torch or headlamp and it's no real problem at all.

Ann B.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Absolutely brilliant campsite, with a magnificent view of Mynydd Mawr. Running through is a little river which has a clearest cleanest water I’ve seen in a long time. It was perfect for the kids to play in and be able to try out the paddleboard. Also loved the steam train coming through at the side of the campsite every now and then. We enjoyed climbing the mountain for a 10th birthday party at the top. Great to have the Van providing food and the little shop.

Disliked The shop was just a little bit disappointing in terms of stores, just very functional. There isn’t a pub within walking distance unless you walk the main road for just over a mile.

Kevin P.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The location was brilliant, the backdrop was amazing. We also love the stream, it’s perfect for kids and adults alike! Our kids had hours of fun splashing around in there. The grass along side the stream was flat and well maintained. There were picnic tables to sit at, or plenty of space to bring in your own chairs and watch the kids play. The pitches were plenty big enough and the site was clean. There was an army of staff going round either litter picking, mowing, trimming hedges etc. There was a games room on site, I’m sure if the weather was bad, the kids would have used it, but there’s no need when they can play outside.

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.
