About Rhyd y Galen Caravan and Camping Park
The site is a tranquil destination, perfect for a quiet holiday. Unwind at your pitch as you marvel at the views of Eryri (Snowdonia National Park), just a 15 minute drive away, or get out and explore the nearby coastline or the beautiful Isle of Anglesey.
Tents, trailer tents, campervans, motorhomes and caravans are welcome across the site's range of grass pitches. Either opt for one of the 13 non electric pitches, or chose one of the 18 pitches which comes with a 16 amp electric hookup.
If you are looking for all of the amenities, the site also has five fully serviced grass tent pitches and six fully serviced hardstanding pitches which are suitable for caravans, motorhomes, campervans, tents and trailer tents. The fully serviced pitches come with a 16 amp electric and water hookup, along with a grey waste drain.
All of the pitches welcome up to six guests, with well-manicured grounds and planting all around.
If glamping is more your style, the site also has a charming shepherd's hut for two. The hut comes equipped with a double bed, bedding, linen, a single gas stove, a table and chairs, crockery, a toilet, sink, gas, electric and a wood-burning stove for those cooler nights. Outside you will also have your own decking area with a fire pit and BBQ, perfect for al fresco cooking.
When staying on any of the pitches, fire pits and BBQs are welcome as long as they are raised from the ground. The site also has fire pits available for hire, great for evenings of toasting marshmallows!
Up to two four-legged friends are also welcome in camping or parking up your tourer, so make room for the dog bed. Please note dogs are not allowed in the shepherd's hut.
There are 38 seasonal pitches also onsite, each fully serviced and suitable for extended stays.

Large Tent - Electric Grass PitchesJul 2023
We have had a wonderful stay here this week. Such a beautiful site with the cleanest facilities. Booking was easy, check-in was easy and the site was secure.
The 'games room' was disappointing (a barn room with a few free standing games tables), but that wasn't an issue.
Some benches in the main shower block would have been ideal (to make changing and showering easier), but the shower facility in the small block was fab. We used the smaller bathroom block as it was closest. It was wonderful: spacious, hot water all the time and super clean.
Plenty of space between pitches.
Highly recommended. We would certainly return.

Thank you for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful stay at our site and found it super clean and spacious. Our team works hard to maintain the highest standards for our guests, and we're glad it left a positive impression on you.
We appreciate your feedback about the games room and the shower block. Whilst the games room might not have met all your expectations, we take note of your comments and will consider ways to improve it in the future. Adding benches in the main shower block is also a great suggestion, and we'll look into making this improvement for our guests' comfort.
We're delighted that you had a wonderful experience with our shepherd's hut shower block, and we're happy to know that it was convenient and enjoyable for you.
Thank you for highly recommending our site and considering a return visit. We can't wait to host you again and provide you with another fantastic stay! Thank you for choosing our site for your getaway.
This was the 4th and last campsite that we stayed at over our 10 day holiday. Both my partner and I both agreed that it was the best!
The previous sites we had stayed on were also lovely, but this 1 just seemed to have the edge. As I have mobility issues, the disabled facilities were a life saver! I have a slight OCD problem when it comes to the cleanliness of toilets and showers, so I was delighted to find that both the disabled toilet and walk in shower were spotless.
So, if you are thinking of booking this site, don't hesitate! We would return in a heart beat.
