About Rhyd y Galen Caravan and Camping Park

The site is a tranquil destination, perfect for a quiet holiday. Unwind at your pitch as you marvel at the views of Eryri (Snowdonia National Park), just a 15 minute drive away, or get out and explore the nearby coastline or the beautiful Isle of Anglesey. Tents, trailer tents, campervans, motorhomes and caravans are welcome across the site's range of grass pitches. Either opt for one of the 13 non electric pitches, or chose one of the 18 pitches which comes with a 16 amp electric hookup. If you are looking for all of the amenities, the site also has five fully serviced grass tent pitches and six fully serviced hardstanding pitches which are suitable for caravans, motorhomes, campervans, tents and trailer tents. The fully serviced pitches come with a 16 amp electric and water hookup, along with a grey waste drain. All of the pitches welcome up to six guests, with well-manicured grounds and planting all around. If glamping is more your style, the site also has a charming shepherd's hut for two. The hut comes equipped with a double bed, bedding, linen, a single gas stove, a table and chairs, crockery, a toilet, sink, gas, electric and a wood-burning stove for those cooler nights. Outside you will also have your own decking area with a fire pit and BBQ, perfect for al fresco cooking. When staying on any of the pitches, fire pits and BBQs are welcome as long as they are raised from the ground. The site also has fire pits available for hire, great for evenings of toasting marshmallows! Up to two four-legged friends are also welcome in camping or parking up your tourer, so make room for the dog bed. Please note dogs are not allowed in the shepherd's hut. There are 38 seasonal pitches also onsite, each fully serviced and suitable for extended stays.

Rhyd y Galen Caravan and Camping Park is open from 01/03 to 31/10 in 2024 and 2025.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

Lovely, clean park with friendly staff. Showers were lovely and hot. Nice and tidy pitch. Was great, though slightly on the tilt, but that was no issue.
