Like Jaktent, we were at the very back of the site, on one of the new 'superpitches' on the back field. This is a hardstanding area, but the spaces between the hardstandings were anything but! It was just a muddy ungrassed space. I had to 'sneak' along the edge of the earth mound to plug the electrics in. However, we could tell our pitch hadn't been used before as there was still plastic covering the drain. From our point of view it was possibly a little unfortunate that the pitch was so new, as we were a little disappointed by it. That said, however, I expect that when that spaces between the pitches have been seeded or turfed it will be a lovely pitch. The views were wonderful!
We were also quite disappointed by the toilet and washing up facilities on 'our' field. These appeared to be a temporary Portacabin type building, with barely enough room for 2 people to pass if 1 was washing. The shower cubicles were also very tight.
However, on a more positive note, the staff we met were very friendly and helpful, and although we left feeling a bit disappointed, I think that when the field we were in has become as established as the others, this will be a very nice site to visit. That toilet block definitely needs replacing though.
Would we go back? Probably, but not for a while to let things get finished off properly.

This was our first trip in our caravan (converted campers) and we picked this site for its glorious views, and we weren't let down, this is a wonderful site, toilets and showers v.clean all of the staff are v.friendly - we stayed on field 3 on a super pitch - v.spacious.
The only negative to this site was there were lots of v.hungry midgies and the fly repellant didn't put them off. Would definetly go back but would probably wait until Sept time when there won't be as many insects

We were a bit late in booking our bank holiday camping break this year and were very happy when the owner managed to accomodate us on his overfill site which is made up of hardstandings. We weren't happy with the pitch when we arrived as there were sharp pieces of slate in the grass next to the hardstanding so the owner very graciously gave us another pitch. This pitch was lovely and the scenery really is beautiful.
The facilities are excellent apart from I feel there should be plug points in the toilets. The mother and baby room was great for bathing and changing my 10 month old son of an evening and there is also a family bathroom which we didn't have chance to test out.
We had to leave on the Saturday morning as there were gale force winds throughout the night which brought our tent down(not a flimsy tent either) and luckily it wasn't damaged. We weren't expecting any adverse weather especially as the Friday was a hot sunny day. The owners operate a no refund policy so beware if you are in a tent.
The security on the site is excellent and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. I feel that it is a shame that this is more of a caravan site than one for tents as it is in a beautiful location.
Overall apart from the weather this is a perfect site to get away from it all.

Just come back from a weekend away at Bryn Gloch. Despite a Friday night of gale force winds which the trailer tent put up with we had a great time. Toilets, showers very clean with plenty of hot water. Washing up facilities great (4 sinks). We were by riverside so husband and son went fishing no big fish caught but lots of little ones. Added bonus of steam train going past during day.Brilliant chip shop just 1.5 miles away. Will be returning again as only 3/4 hour away from home but far enough for a break.

We are new to camping and this was our first ever trip. We arrived on the Thursday before the May Bank Holiday. After passing through the numerous caravan fields we found a large empty camping field divided into rows by mounds of earth, presumably to provide privacy and sheleter from the wind.
The pitches seemed a reasoanable size we ended up a bit cramped on the Friday and Saturday. We will have to take more care over the position of the tent next time, but it was difficult to judge on a very windy thursday in a totally empty field. We returned to the site on Friday night to find the field full and what we had used as our parking spot taken by a tent.
We were luck and had a well drained pitch for what was a wet and windy weekend but other part of the field were a waterlogged patch of mud.
The toilet block was excellent. Very clean and spacious although there was a problem with the water pressure at peak times.
The shop stocked a small selection of groceries and various camping supplies.
Overall we enjoyed our stay but would have preferred a little more room.

We visited Bryn Gloch after a very very rainy few weeks, luckily the weather cleared for our visit and the campsite was obviously very wet but still in good condition. Toilet & Showers were absolutely immaculate, very clean and spacious. The landscape and scenery surrounding the site is really lovely too. The only criticism I have about this site is the rows in which tents had to be pitched, just felt a bit regimented.

The wettest August for 20 years - you bet. Torrential rain every night and high winds. Yet this exceptionally well located site took it all - except where vehicles churned the grass - and still looked good.
As a tent camper the first two fields of regimented caravans on hardcore pitches leave you feeling a little apprehensive that this may be too organised. Never fear - carry on past them to the tent camping area and this site is very very good. Beautiful views in all directions, next to a charming narrow guage railway (not very busy!)
Great for kids. A river to play in, two play areas and loads of grass. Nicely laid out for tents where the new banks provide some privacy. Shop had the basics (beer!). Loo block seemed small at first but was never crowded and always clean - water always warm! Very clean - well situated bins and water points
Great base to explore the area Caernarfon down the road, Snowdon round the corner. Llanberis a 10 minute drive.
The kids gave it an 8 out of 10. I reckon that was a bit mean of them!

This site was much bigger than I expected but, even though it was the peak season it was still pretty quiet. We camped in field 6 and I can honestly say that the problems mentioned in previous reviews no longer exist. The pitches are extremely spacious and the scenery is outstanding. One critisism is that there should be a toilet / shower block serving just field 6, there were always queues at the nearest block and there are only 4 showers. This didn't really affect me though because I'm an early bird and was up and showering at 6am. The facilities could have been kept cleaner too, although maybe grass and dirt is the norm during peak season and I'm being fussy ! All in all a great time was had and I would recommend this site.

Yet again I can only say wow! What a great site. We last visited this site same time last year for camping. For those that have been before they have split up field 6 into sub sections to allow loads more camping. The field is now divided by 2 x 6 foot high banks of mud that is getting covered in grass. This provides great protection from the wind and rain and cuts down noise in the evening.
Well worth a visit - be sure to book in peak season though.
Staff are really friendly. Toilets are spotless, many water point and even electric hook ups for those that want the comforts. Great access to the Snowdon area.

This was a lovely camp site. We stayed for the weekend and were delighted with the facilities. Staff were very friendly, facilities were excellent and the scenery was stunning.
We had a lovely weekend can't wait to return.

Reception was very pleasant, made to feel welcome and given the choice of field 6 or field 3 (read the reviews before I went so immediately chose field 3).
Whilst we didn't really have time to do any sight seeing, the views from the site were fantastic, the site itself was good and the facilities clean (though it wasn't very busy - might not be so good at peak times).

Well a beautiful site for views, and great for walkers but when it rains there`s not alot to do and when it rains it does pour!.
They say they have a tv room etc.
The shower block was clean but you had to wait for everything - all in all good for walkers.

Visited 2 years ago and were quite disappointed but am really pleased to say that the portaloos are gone and proper toilet and shower facilities have been built (and they are kept immaculately clean), the swampy tent fields have been properly grassed over and most importantly they have built windbreaks out of banks of earth and planted them most pleasantly with local shrubs. They deserved 4 stars for the caravanning facilities, I will now say they deserve them for the tents too.

We had previously stayed mainly in very small basic sites before but as I was taking the kids (12, 10 and 7) on my own this time, thought I'd go for something with a few more facilities. The kids loved the pool room, play area and mini golf and roaming the site on their bikes. The shop was good for breakfast things - sausages, milk and eggs and meant you didn't have to worry about keeping them cold. The shop also usefully sold cheap toys etc. Toilet block was newer in the adjacent field to the one we were camping in but this was adequate for me. Owner friendly and despite having a 'no refund' policy, gave me a credit note when our tent got damaged in high wind and we had to return home to make repairs! I was more than happy to come back a couple of weeks later once repairs were made - and so were the children.

After a windy and rainy start, things soon brightened up.
The site was ideal, great views, great facilities, clean toilets and showers, play area and river - ideal for young families.
Shop was a little lacking in stock, but had the basics.
We stayed with a 2.5yr and 6mth old, and had a great time.
No roads through the camping area was a good thing, safe for the kids.
We'd go again!
