“1st Time Camping”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

We visited Bryn Gloch (3 day camping) in August 2011 - It was our first time camping, and we took the 2 dogs with us - It is fair to say that we were a little apprehensive.

On arrival we found a great campsite in a fantastic location.

The scenery was breathtaking; the facilities far exceeded what I had expected (availability and cleanliness); the location was great for days out with the dogs (literally 5 mins from the coast); pricing was fair but above all the site was quiet and relaxing.

We'll definitely go back in 2012!

“Great location. Campsite 3 star -not 4.”

We decided to upgrade on our usual family camping trip and go for a 4 star place instead of just a field with small facilities. Fab location, close to Snowdon and great walks, streams, hills and pretty villages nearby. However, the field we were camping in was next to the stream and the furthest one from the toilet blocks - which were 3 or so fields walk away. Take a bucket - unless you want a longer walk than most at night. Unfortunately for us we endured the usual bank holiday rain, so much so that the field became like a ploughed one as only the caravan pitches had any tarmac / gravel roads. The car nearly got stuck! Mud, mud and more mud. The 4 star toilets that I was expecting were decent as in, they had hot water - which was the main thing, but not that clean (plasters and mud) and I didn't see a family bathroom anywhere (although to be fair, didn't bother asking). One bloke in reception was pretty friendly but the other two were miserable as sin and didn't make us feel welcome. The games room had a couple of pool tables for the kids, then there was a sofa lounge area and a laundrette. All in all, a decent campsite but certainly not the 4 stars we were expecting and had to note that they were displaying certificates for best campsite awards won - but only up to 2007.

“Good location and in a lovely setting”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2011

A good sized level site in a beautiful location. The wardens keep the site well maintained but some pitches are quite a trek from the nearest toilet blocks,especially noticed at night! Great position to catch the sun morning , noon and night.

“Excellent location, nice place to camp”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2010

We just returned from Bryn Loch (3 day camping), I read the reviews on here before we went (but after we booked) and was a little worried. On arrival we found a nice campsite in a fantastic location...scenery is breathtaking, facilities were pretty good, location ideal for short works and gateway to Snowden and staff we encountered were pleasant

It's a bit pricey (but it was the busy Bank Holiday period) and the camp was quite busy and noisy in the evenings (but not excessively so , it was people enjoying their holidays and by 11pm it was silent)

We'll definitely go back
