  • Small CAMC-members-only, family-friendly site at Pant Glas in Gwynedd
  • Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) or Anglesey 25 minutes’ drive; Abersoch 35 minutes
  • Well-kept pitches with electric hook-ups; kids’ petting farm on site
Only open to members of the Caravan and Motorhome Club, Bron Hendre Certificated Location is a tiny site in the hamlet of Pant Glas, midway between Caernarfon and Porthmadog in Gwynedd, North Wales. Access is down a tarmac track off the A487 trunk road, and all the well-maintained, level pitches have views over to the hills of Eryri National Park (formerly Snowdonia). Kids will no doubt make a beeline for the petting farm, where they can meet friendly animals including the Valais Blacknose sheep – possibly the cutest sheep in the world – and tortoises. Dogs are welcome, but please keep them on a lead at all times while on site for the safety of the resident animals. You can exercise your pets on the Lôn Eifion trail along the former Welsh Highland Railway; suitable for cyclists as well as walkers, the path runs adjacent to the pitches. On the practical side, electric hook-ups are available on the pitches, and there are recycling and waste-disposal areas but no showers or loos.

Liked: Absolutely lovely site! Lisa and John were so friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome! Site is immaculate! Great location, cycle trail/walking path at the bottom of the site. Views are amazing! And the animals were just the icing on the cake my children had the best holiday and can’t wait to return!

Local attractions

Bron Hendre is set on the outskirts of Eryri National Park, approximately 25 minutes’ drive from Yr Wyddfa (Mount Snowdon) itself, so it’s a gateway to all the climbing, cycling and hiking possibilities in the region. Adrenaline-junkies can test their head for heights on the zipwires at Zip World Penrhyn Quarry (35 minutes’ drive), or go caving deep underground at Go Below (50 minutes). The site is also handy for the Llŷn Peninsula (half an hour), with wonderful Irish Sea beaches such as lively Abersoch (35 minutes) or more remote, dog-friendly Porth Ceiriad (40 minutes) along the Llŷn Coastal Path. If you’re feeling extra-energetic, you can scramble up to the top of Yr Eifil (half an hour) for truly spectacular views over the Menai Straits to Anglesey. It’s an easy-enough hop over to the island itself. The Britannia Bridge (25 minutes) gives access to cultural sights like National Trust - Plas Newydd House and Gardens (half an hour) and moated Beaumaris Castle (35 minutes), as well as family-friendly spots like Anglesey Sea Zoo (35 minutes) and Foel Farm Park (40 minutes).
