Small and peaceful Gwynedd site on the edge of Eryri National Park
Zip World Penrhyn Quarry five minutes’ drive; Conwy Castle 25 minutes
Wildflower meadows, a lake and woodland paths; pubs five minutes’ walk

What with access to the wildflower meadows, gardens, woodland walks and calming views over the lake, life at Gwynedd’s Bryn Llys is always going to be peaceful and relaxing. This small, dog-friendly site is set in parkland on a private estate 15 minutes’ drive from Bangor in North Wales. You are never too far away from stunning views of the mountains in Eryri National Park (formerly Snowdonia), and the six areas of the UNESCO-listed Slate Landscape of Northwest Wales. Five minutes’ walk through the woods takes you straight to the local village of Bethesda, where there are two well-stocked shops selling local produce; you can also call in at the pubs or order takeaways if you’re off cooking on your Eryri break. Bryn Llys had smart new toilet facilities in 2025 but there are no showers; other amenities include chemical waste, grey water disposal and recycling. Access from the main A5 and A55 trunk roads is easy, and the site’s gateway, drive and site are all accessible for large motorhomes and towing vehicles.

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.

Arosfa 2 bedroom static caravan

Liked: I recently stayed in a 3-bed static caravan at Bryn Llys it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The caravan was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway.

The location is absolutely perfect—nestled in a peaceful area surrounded by nature, yet just a few hundred yards from Zip World, which made it super convenient for us to enjoy the adrenaline without the hassle of long travel.

We loved waking up to the sounds of birds and ending the day with quiet walks around the site. If you're looking for a calm, cozy place to unwind that’s also close to great attractions, Bryn Llys is a perfect choice. Would definitely stay again!

Route directions

Avoid using satnav as this will direct you down a narrow dead-end lane. Instead, exit the A55 at Junction 11 for Bangor. Head for Zip World and Bethesda. Drive through the village and turn right, signposted Zip World. From the A5, take the first left into the village, signposted Zip World. Follow the road past the entrance to Zip World, and continue for half mile past a row of single-storey cottages on the left. Look out for the site signs on your right after two sharp bends.

Local attractions

Once you’ve chuffed around the grounds on Bryn Llys’s own miniature railway, head for the full-size train ride up Eryri from the Mountain Railway Station (20 minutes’ drive). Another vintage steam train runs through stunning landscapes on the Beddgelert Welsh Highland Railway (35 minutes). Bryn Llys sits on the doorstep of Eryri National Park, offering easy access to climbing, hiking and biking in spectacular mountains and valleys. Cyclists and walkers can follow the Lôn Las Ogwen or Eryri Slate Trail from Bangor (15 minutes), and if you want to try some more fear-inducing activities, the notorious Velocity zipwire runs across Penrhyn Quarry at Zip World (five minutes). The site is also a handy base for exploring fantastic beaches like sandy Traeth Llanddwyn (40 minutes) on Anglesey. While you’re there, inject a bit of culture into your holiday with a tour of the art collections and manicured grounds at National Trust-owned Plas Newydd House and Gardens (20 minutes). Skip back to the mainland across the landmark Britannia Bridge (15 minutes) to discover the mighty castles at Conwy and Caernarfon (both 25 minutes).
