Why stay here ...
We’re sorry to say that the Club has had to make the difficult decision to close Gwern-y-Bwlch Club Campsite at the end of the 2024 season. We do recognise that for those members who have stayed at our site, it will be a disappointment. Sadly, not enough members have stayed at Gwern-y-Bwlch over the years to sustainably enable us to keep the campsite open.
We know that the Club is committed to providing Club campsites and pitches in locations that are popular with the wider membership, with approximately 180,000 more pitch nights available in 2024 than there were in 2018 across the network.
Thank you to those of you who have stayed with us. We know there is another perfect pitch just waiting for you, to help you find some inspiration, here are some popular alternative Club campsites just a short distance away which we hope you will try:
Coed-Y-Llwyn Club Campsite (open 15 Mar-28 Oct) - 37 miles, 53 minutes by road
Min y Don Caravan Club Site (open 1 Mar-3 Nov) - 42 miles, 1 hour 15 minutes by road
Gaer Hyfryd Caravan Club Site (open 1 Mar-5 Nov) - 46 miles, 1 hour 15 minutes by road
In addition, there are a number of Certificated Locations within the vicinity, that continue to offer picturesque solitude away from the crowds that are exclusively for our members.

The absolute top site for peace and quiet.
No toilet block, no showers, no kids playground, just ……..nature. For those who like it quiet it‘s heaven. If you have a dog, even better - a g r e a t dog walking area. Thanks to the farmer across the valley who has the antenna in his... Show more

Tucked away haven of peace and tranquility
The lack of any washblock facilities probably influences the types of visitors the site atrracts, i.e. no families. Nothing against families but their absence results in a very peaceful envrionment where visitors can enjoy the natural surroundings. Plenty of wildlife to observe, nice dog walking area on-site and not far... Show more

Lovely short break
We only stayed for two night but what peaceful nights they were. The site is easy to find and access and the pitch was well sized. A welcoming reception by the owner gave us a choice of pitches. The site is close enough to Machynlleth for any shopping you may... Show more

Lovely Spot
Beautiful little site tucked away on the hillside. Its not your usual site with facilities etc, but for peace and quiet and a perfect dog walk on site, friendly staff and stunning location its hard to compare with others.

Great asset for the CC
Such an unusual site set amongst the typical deciduous woodland of this area. An excellent touring base for the myriad of beautiful lanes through woodland, forest, moorland and the coast.

Visited 03.09.22. Our second visit as an overnight stop on our way to the coast. It’s such a beautiful quirky site. On a very steep tiered slope but pitches are only slightly sloped. Nothing much to do (unless you go out in the car) so sit back and enjoy the... Show more
