Why stay here ...

Our CL site is nestled in the heart of the grounds at Bryn Llys surrounded by ten acres of gardens, natural woodland, a lake and a wild flower meadow. It’s a quiet, peaceful setting with stunning views up to the northern mountains of Snowdonia. A great place to relax and reconnect with nature and for access to great places and a host of activities.

Bryn Llys is conveniently situated between the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia) and the North Wales coast just outside the village of Bethesda and 5 miles from the City of Bangor. It’s an ideal base for exploring the local hills and mountains and we are only a short distance from the fantastic beaches and dramatic coastline of the North Wales and Anglesey. Being so close to the mountains there is a wealth of walking, climbing and cycling adventures for everyone from our doorstep.

We have many local walks to suit all abilities and the Lon Las cycle track passes close to our front gates providing access to Bangor or Capel Curig by cycle. A short woodland walk will take you into the village where you will find a variety of shops, cafes, pubs and takeaways plus we are very close to Zipworld – the longest and fastest zip wire in Europe.

We have lived in Snowdonia for the past 25 years. In that time, we have worked and raised our family in the area and discovered many amazing places. We can offer a wealth of advice and ideas for activities and things to do in the local area whatever the weather – we are here to help anytime.

Access from the main A5 and A55 trunk roads is easy and our gateway, drive and main site are all accessible for large motorhomes and caravans. We have both hardstanding and grass pitches available all with electrical hook up and we also welcome well behaved dogs.

Facilities include a fresh water point, disposal points for grey water, chemical waste, general rubbish, food and recycling.

WiFi is available close to the site under our beautiful Dutch Barn. We have good TV reception and a strong 4G signal throughout the site.

You are free to explore our gardens, woodland and meadow and the lake is a haven for birds and great spot to sit and watch all the wildlife.

We also offer self-catering and bed and breakfast accommodation should you wish to share your break with friends or family.

Please take note of directions to Bryn Llys as Sat Navs will take you astray. Don’t leave the B4409 except through our big red gates!

One of the Best that we've visited

Just for context we have been visiting CLs for over 30 years and the Title is not hyperbole. Booking with Carlo was straightforward through his website. I also made sure we could get a Hardstanding as the visit was early in the season. No problem. Payment made through Paypal (not my... Show more

What a find... (Please don’t tell everyone!!)

Just stayed at Bryn Llys for the second time. This is SUCH a special site. Welcomed personally by delightful owner Carlo who also helped us to shove our little van into place, on both occasions. The upper pitches are spacious with beautiful open views to the hills beyond and the... Show more

A very special campsite

This is a really, really, lovely campsite, well-organised, very peaceful, with some good views, and a warm welcome. The site is very well-maintained, and the gardens are lovely - roses in full bloom at the moment. There are good walks nearby for dogs (and their... Show more

We stayed just after Christmas and the site is wonderful with beautiful scenery. It's immaculate throughout for a CL site and is by far the best CL site we have visited. Carlo is extremely helpful and described the several walks we could undertake with our small dogs. You really don't... Show more

Super little site

We visited this site for a short half term break away from our own CL. The owners are very helpful and greeted us warmly. Five good sized pitches in pretty surroundings which are quiet and very rural. Great walks from the site and an abundance of interesting... Show more

A gem of a site

Superb tranquil site with woodland and ponds. Beautifully maintained. Excellent new toilet block. Short walk into town to the shops and Bangor, Caernarfon and Llandudno within reach by car. Carlo, the host, was very attentive and friendly; even managed to fix our water pump! Top notch site.
