Just got back from a great few days at Bryn Gloch. Campsite in a beautiful location, having the chance to open our tent to a view of the beautiful Snowdonia mountains when we woke up! Only a 5 minute drive to one of the Snowdon tracks too. I've stayed in a few campsites previously; this one had a very good standard of cleanliness- no litter and showers kept as clean as they could be throughout the day. Our pitch was even near to the train line, which we thought might be a nightmare, but was actually great as the steam train only passes through during the day, and actually added to the atmosphere! Only thing to improve would be for the price to be slightly lower (£19 for pitch with no electric) but the scenery makes up for the cost.
Maybe we're not very fussy, I'm not sure... but we will definitely be returning next year.

Came from Holland with my family to visit Snowdonia. Paid the full price for 3 weeks in advance, but only stayed for 2 weeks because we lost our awning in a heavy storm. Many people lost their tent during that night. Did not sleep most of the nights because of the stormy weather. The lady who takes the bookings seems in charge of managing this camping (and definitely dominates here husband). Never met such an incredibly insolant person. When I told here we lost our awning during the storm, she saw it was not taken into account in the price we paid, and thus asked us to pay it immediately or leave at once! She never asked how we felt after that terrible storm, this lady is really a freak! My advice: choose another camping site in this beautiful valley, but stay away from Bryn Gloch!

Great location, but with current construction works immediately adjacent to the site the view is some what spoilt. Some pitches are reasonable, while many are very exposed. Very muddy site and drainage is very poor, so not a site to camp during wet and windy conditions! Toilet and shower blocks clean, but few cubicles. Central facilities poor and rather dated, shop is also very limited in what is sell. Value is about average.

This campsite is in a beautiful location surrounded by mountains and with a river at the back. If we had known about the noisy, ugly building works next door however, we would not have gone. For a tent for me, my partner and our 7-year old, £25 per night was a high price. We were made to pay the full price up front before arrival. We did see many campers pack up and leave early when the horizontal rain and gale force winds spoiled the holiday. There were muddy patches but that is to be expected when it rains so much. The toilets and showers were ok. The shop was overpriced - £18 for a windbreak and rather than provide freezing facilities for ice packs, they take a 50p deposit for each one and hire them to you at 30p each! Unfortunately North Wales does not seem to have caught up with the foodie revolution of South Wales and some of England. There are a few very good restaurants at the high end of the market but the cheap and middle priced places are dated and serve boring, bland meat, 2 veg and potatoes-type food. There is a shortage of pubs and many are not open at lunch-time. The piggery pottery near the campsite is great for a rainy day - we spent hours painting pots and plates and you can throw a pot too. I would not camp in North Wales again unless a heatwave were guaranteed. I would also go to a different area. Although Llanberis has the Snowdon Mountain Railway and access to the easiest climb up the Mountain, it is a miserable little town with hopeless offerings of food and drink. I would try a different campsite on a different side of the monutain (perhaps Betws-Y-Coed).
