Sprinter-Type Campervan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesSep 2024

A beautiful site with stunning views. Clean facilities, with really friendly and helpful staff. Stunning countryside walks from site, but the main road from the site has no footpath. There is an hourly bus service which stops at the site, we found this excellent, giving us easy access to Caernarfon, Llanberis and Beddgelert. We will be coming back!

Immaculate campsite in beautiful surroundings

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

This campsite is in a very convenient location to start a trek up Mount Snowdon. It is a 5 minute drive to the start point of both the Snowdon Ranger Path or Rhyd Ddu (alternatively there is a bus stop right at the entrance of the camp which drops you in both spots). Everything on camp was immaculate, from the games room to the shower blocks. I stayed in a tent on the non-electric pitches and was given a lovely and quiet spot (G9) by the river, which was a lovely sound to fall asleep to. The reception staff and all other staff I spoke to were all equally nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend this site and will return.

Lovely site

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

Lovely layout, beautiful views, super clean facilities, friendly staff. This is a great spot to explore Snowdonia. This site is big but feels secluded as it is set into different areas each of which is divided by trees and bushes. The campsite appeared to be at minimum capacity but this didn't stop the staff making sure every part of it was meticulously clean. The toilet facilities were immaculate. The dog walk on site was the best we had encountered being lengthy and a real effort had been made to make it pleasant. We did not have to ask the staff for any assistance until the last day when, due to a personal issue at home, I needed access to the internet to sort it so asked, if needed, could we just stay until I had it sorted. We were all packed up ready to go but still on our pitch. I was told we would have to move the caravan off the pitch and down a steep slope to a parking area. Had the campsite been at capacity I would totally get this but it was far from it so I feel that a little more consideration could have been given, it would have helped the stress levels!

Single Axle Caravan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesAug 2024

Had it been made clear this site was subject to intense and regular winds, we would never have booked. As a family, we rely on the space offered by an awning. Paid for the awning for 7 nights and had to take it down after first night at the suggestion of the seasonal pitch holders to prevent destruction. We did and there was no offer of a refund. The seasonal pitches stated it was a common occurrence and most had lost awnings. There were several tents destroyed whilst we were there and ruined awnings. I felt this could be highlighted in the sales particulars. Some pitches are protected and are fine, most are not. Suitable only to those not using awnings or tents on the majority of pitches.

Absolutely amazing!

Large Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

Excellent stay at this campsite. Got a great pitch, lovely views! Only thing I would say is the toilets seemed to get closed and cleaned at peak time 8-9ish in the morning, which made it a bit longer to get everyone ready. Other than that, all the staff were lovely and really helpful. Definitely recommend.

Amazing place

VW-Type Campervan - Fully Serviced Grass PitchesAug 2024

A stunning place to stay with exceptionally helpful and kind staff. It was very clean and lovely for children and adults alike. The tipsy trailer and the pizza van are a lovely touch, they have a well stocked shop for the necessities and a great little games room. A special mention to Bev in the office who was really kind and helpful when we needed a hand after a windy night. Can't wait to go back.

Fantastic site

Very, very clean and tidy site, all members of staff that we met were so friendly and helpful. Set in beautiful surroundings, loved the designated dog walking area right next to our plot, The food bar on site (Yr Wyddfa) was very nice, Welsh black beef bap with chips and gravy was amazing, toilet and shower block was very clean and tidy, we will be returning.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

Overall, the stay was enjoyable. However, the toilets and showers are somewhat lacking. Some residents were not adhering to the "quiet time" set by the campsite and would be good to have a couple of fields as adults only.

Stunning location

Large Tent - Electric Grass PitchesJul 2024

A stunning location, very friendly members of staff. Only down side was that I found that there were not enough toilets for the number of pitches and they were pretty dirty and grubby. Which, I know is to be expected. However, I have stayed in places where the facilities have been much cleaner and on a larger campsite. Can't take away from the fact though that it was a stunning location.

Bryn Gloch is one of the best campsites I have been to so far. It's location is fantastic and it boasts beautiful scenery, with plenty of local walks and hikes available as well as easy access to Snowdon trails. From check-in and throughout the stay, the staff were very approachable, helpful and friendly. We had an electrical hook-up tent pitch and had no issues with power. There were several toilet/shower blocks around the campsite, of which were all easily accessible throughout the day, well maintained and no large queues formed at any point. Clothes washing facilities and drying rooms were available. BBQ and campfires are allowed and added to the experience. They have campfire equipment for hire and plenty available at a great price. There is an on-site shop available that stocks most things you may need to top up on throughout your stay, such as basic food items, drinks etc. There is also an onsite food truck that provides breakfast and dinner options for those who do not wish to cook or BBQ for themselves. There are also evenings when other food and drink vans attend the venue for cocktail evenings and pizza etc, which is great! I would have given 5 starts across the board. The only reason I have not is because the on-site shop closes relatively early during the week (5pm). If like us, you set off early for a hike and do not return until after 5pm, you have no access to items you may need for that evening. There is a local shop and Tesco a short drive away, but that involves going out again when you feel exhausted from your adventures. Also, the food truck may not be available on certain days / evenings. However, during our stay we went to the van for coffee whilst packing up, on a day it should have been available and it was not there due to being at another event.
