 The area is beautiful and scenery is stunning. Loads to do including the amazing zipworld which we did and loved. The campsite was poor. Grubby shower and toilet block, floors covered in grass cuttings all the time. I was glad of our caravan shower as I wouldn't have wanted to use theirs.
One of their brags is the new kids play area, it may well be new but they have stuck it in the middle of one of the camping fields rather than in an area that everyone feels comfortable using. Unless we were pitched in the field in which it was located we wouldn't use it.
A pizza oven in a converted horse box cooks pizzas every night. We only purchased once as they were expensive, small and lacking in toppings.
There's a nice pub about a mile from camp, sadly you can't safely walk to it as there's no path and the road is busy and narrow. Similarly if you need the shop then it's a ten minute drive to the nearest which is a londis at a petrol station. There is a campsite shop for essentials though but sadly no newspapers.
There is free wifi for one device but the signal was so poor we could hardly ever use it.
The stones used on the hard standing pitches were awful. When it rained a chalky grey substance coated our shoes and as hard as we tried it just got everywhere. Also with dogs it was impossible to avoid.
The lads who emptied the big green wheelie bins were just dangerous. Dragging the bins around with quads at speed isn't something you want to see on a campsite.
All in all I would return to the area but wouldn't return to Bryn Gloch.

Stayed for 3 nights over the Easter bank holiday, paid £3 a night to leave our caravan at the site and returned the following weekend.
Location perfect, views of mountains all around.
Toilet and shower block clean. Site shop good for topping up.
Garage down the road had a mini supermarket which was good if you don't want to drive to Caernarfon.
Had a meal in the pub down the road, was a nice pub meal.
Got the train into Caernarfon which was a lovely day out.

We booked a Superpitch (hardstanding with electricity, water, waste) this was the first time we had used a hard standing and it was very good but I will remember to bring a long waster pipe next time so I can go directly to the waste bypassing the waster master! Level pitches, masses of room and even chains so you can lock stuff up. Lovely site with fabulous views and an excellent base for travelling around.

Have just returned from a 3 night stay at Bryn Gloch. Beautiful site and lovely friendly staff. Everything was clean and well kept. The toilet block was clean and always had hot water and toilet roll! The only downside was the 5 minute walk from the bottom of the camping field to the toilet block. The site was well sign posted, the plots were spacious and the site was very quiet by 11pm - perfect with 2 small children! Loads to do within 30 minute drive, we did Caernarfon and Conwy castles, Plans Mawr country house, Llanberis lake side train and on the way home Merlin's cave labarynth.

Great campsite. Stayed a week in a tent with two children (aged nearly 2 and 5) on a superpitch with water and electric.
Brilliant facilities. Showers were the best I have ever seen on a campsite even after heavy rainfall and at peaktimes. Never had to queue, pot wash facilities also good. There is a good launderette room (£3 for a wash, £3 for dry), small TV lounge and games room. Quite a walk from the outlying camping fields - the site is huge - to the reception or toilet block.
Shop on site basic but good; we forgot our electric hook up and there was a selection there with most other camping essentials, bread, milk, wine and beer etc. There is a pizza 'shack' Thursdays to Sundays in peak season which we enjoyed one night.
The playground is basic - a swing and a climbing frame or two, with an old tractor/ digger but my two enjoyed it. Would have loved a swing and slide for the older one. The Welsh highlands steam train runs right through the campsite which was great. The site itself is very picturesque, surrounded by mountains and with walks that lead from the campsite, there is a small picnic and BBQ area by the river (shallow at that point) which is really pretty.
The site is well placed for things to do - we went on the steam train into the mountains (around £70 so not cheap but a good few hours) and another around the lake at Llanberis (£30 about an hour). Llanberis itself is a nice day out with a soft play area, park, the lake, lovely walks and a small castle as well as yet another train that takes you up Snowdon (around £90 and about 2 - 3 hours). We also visited Caernarfon and Beaumaris castles which are less than 30 minutes away and Anglesey for the beach (Rhosneigr is lovely, lots of rock pools and good fish and chips!)
There are a few large supermarkets within 20 minutes - large Tesco on retail park outside Bangor and a Morrisons and smaller Tesco in Caernarfon.
Rock pegs are advisable although we did manage without.

We prebooked a Superpitch (with hardstanding) and reception was very welcoming. Pitch was ideal - electricity, water, waste, and rubbish and other facilities very handy. Level pitches, plenty of room. Quiet site with fabulous views. Welsh Highland Railway (steam) went along the perimeter of site! Staff very helpful. Toilet/shower block was modern, clean and spacious, plenty of hot water. Also laundry room, small play area, games room, Wifi and computer lounge, shop. Definitely one for 'Must return' list.

We stayed at Bryn Gloch for a week, including the August Bank Holiday period on a tent pitch with electric hook up in the top field by the railway (by request). I must say we had a brilliant week, the site is kept immaculate and even during the Bank Holiday, at near max capacity the facilities were kept clean and tidy and plenty of hot water - busy during peak times but totally workable. The staff are all very welcoming and I really cannot fault the venue at all. We were lucky with weather which made the week in a tent 'easy'. It's short walk to the steam train platform or there is a hail stop very close to the site. There's an on site shop for essentials (ice pack rental service, gas, charcoal), a launderette and games room. All the major shops you need are only 6 miles away in Caernarfon. My only constructive comment is that the ablutions in the top field (during busy times) could do with a sink on it's own to wash hands after using the loo - the wash basins are in cubicles which when occupied make wash your hands a waiting game, although they give the privacy a lot of people like. That's being really picky as the other ablution is different layout and not an issue. It's a picture postcard location that's well run and well placed to take in the Hills. The Ranger Path is a very short distance away, as is the beautiful village Bedd Gelert, try the Snowdon Pizza in the Bistro next to the Ice Cream place - heavenly, not licensed but you can take your own wine. Caernarfon is also worth a visit. I will definitely stay at Bryn Gloch again and cannot recommend it highly enough - see you next year!

This is a brilliant site. The pitches are enormous, the toilet/shower block very modern and always clean, the staff were really friendly. The area was beautiful.
The shop held all the essentials, there was a games room for bad weather and a park for good, a laundrette and TV room.
There is a bunkhouse if you have no camping equipment at all.
All this for a reasonable price.
There is a small chip shop just up the road which is a bit pricey but the food is very nice. The lady behind the counter is an interesting character.
All in all a lovely family friendly site which I would very highly recommend.

Stayed 2 nights, showers and toilets very clean, its a big site with lots of good facilities, a lovely riverside picnic/barbeque area, bus to carnarvon just outside campsite, also welsh highland railway runs past with a station about a mile away, not too expensive, we will definitely be going back. The only thing I can complain about, and this is nothing to do with the campsite, we like to walk, but the local footpaths seemed to be unclear, I have noticed this on other welsh campsites, you get so far, then you end up in a field with no stiles or any clear signs, so end up going back.

1/08/13 Well what can I say apart from EXCELLENT!
I must admit, we booked this site and then I read reviews but I take everything with a pinch of salt and it was mainly a staff issue so thought no more about it. Correct choice!
This site was excellent!
A VERY warm welcome in reception (needed after a disastrous journey thanks to directions off The Caravan Club site!)
Lady took her time to explain about the site, directions and amenities and was just generally lovely!
Found our VERY spacious pitch with no problems and from the moment we unhooked- it was bliss!
Scenery was outstanding. The whole site was immaculately clean and tidy - the toilets. The best I've seen! I didn't use my own caravan loo just so I could go use these!
Showers were fantastic - no annoying curtain sticking to your back! very clean and very roomy too.
Walking along the river was tranquil.
Shop had all essentials that you could possibly need. Even Tie down kits!
Nice little park - could be updated a bit but my kids still liked it.
Whole site is very well set out. No over flowing bins. Everything is well looked after. Perfect.
We hada day out to Beddgelert (7 miles away) and went into Porthmadog too.
Upon leaving, another lady member of staff was very helpful in printing me off some proper directions home!
Cannot wait to get back here again! Bryn Gloch. Where have you been all my life?!

We have recently returned from a 3 night stay at this site and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were pitched by the river and had another 3 tents and 1 caravan in our group.
I definitely want to praise the staff for their friendliness, approachability and helpfulness. From the first telephone call we made to book the site to the day of departure nothing was too much trouble.
We had children and dogs in our group and we all had a great time. The toilets and showers were always clean as was the washing up room. Although busy we never had to queue for any of these facilities. The shop handy for bits and pieces and supermarkets not too far away.
There were lots of other caravans and campers there during our stay none of whom were noisy or troublesome. Everyone said hello in passing etc.
I can highly recommend greenwood forest park for a well priced entertaining day out for people with children, dogs also allowed on a lead.
The only drawback of this site was the midges. Far worse by the river than other parts of the site be sure to pack plenty of insect repellent !
Other than that (u can't help nature !) I would highly recommend this as a safe, clean and well run site.

A very pleasant campsite with fabulous views over Snowdonia. The facilities are clean and tidy, showers are hot and spacious. Quite far from local amenities however there is a shop on the site which stocks all essentials. Close by car to nearby attractions of Snowden and Caernarfon, which is well worth a visit. I would recommend this site for a short break as the surrounding countryside is beautiful. A relaxing peaceful break.

We had looked forward to staying in this site, but on arrival were let down by the feel of the place, Baring in mind the location felt like one big car park, no access to cycle other than the roads, but worst was yet to come!, at ten pm that night a motorhome arrived next to ours, YES Ten PM. And then between the two motor homes erected a tent, the noise that night was so bad, we left the next morning having paid for four nights.
Best avoid as there was no shortage of sites in the area.

We stopped here on may bank holiday we had never been and it was a last minute find.
It proved to be a bit of a gem! its worth going just for the views!
Upon arrival we were greeted by friendly staff told us were our pitch was, it was large, flat and grassed.
Shower room was nice, clean and huge. A bit dated but fine.
Kids play area small but entertained them.
A little shop for your basics, but nothing within walking distance off site.
We enjoyed our long weekend and would go again.

We chose Bryn Gloch for its location and having read several good reviews.
What a disappointment it was to us!
Having paid up front £26 per night for a hardstanding pitch (compared to about £15 on CC and C&CC sites during our tour) we arrived and at first were very pleased. Literally dozens of flat, easily accessed CC style pitches to chose from with superb views of Snowdon. Then we found our pitch which was narrow, sloping, covered in sawdust from an adjacent tree which had obviously recently been cut down and impossible to get on without using our mover because of a fence which ran down the side of the site road where we were. The electricity (only 10 amp) tripped twice during our stay and the water in the washroom was tepid at best. The reason we were given this pitch was presumably that the better ones were 'fully serviced' ie had a tap and drain but we were reluctant to pay even more than we had already done.
Just down the road is a pub with ts own micro brewery which does good pub food after a long days walking!
Bryn Gloch has all the qualities to be a really great site in a fantastic location; we thought good customer relations might have been to offer us an upgrade to one of the better pitches, given that the site was virtually empty apart from seasonal vans. But if you want a site right next to Snowdon and are prepared to ay the price this is probably a good choice.
