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, and we look forward to welcoming you until the end of this season. 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.
A gem of a site in a lovely setting, lost in Mid Wales between Snowdonia and old Montgomeryshire. Gwern-y-Bwlch Club Campsite features terraced pitches, some with splendid views across the valley. You'll soon find the pace of life slows to a relaxed stroll in this part of Wales. The caravan park is an ideal base for country pursuits like birdwatching or fishing. Don't forget your binoculars - the RSPB has reserves at Lake Vyrnwy and Ynys-Hir. A conservationist's paradise, with a bird hide and feeding station on site - watch out for the red kite in the area.
Gwern-y-Bwlch Club Campsite has proved ideal for anglers, who often try their luck at the Llyn Clywedog reservoir, or in the Dyfi River. If you fancy sea fishing you can book trips from the harbours of Aberystwyth or Aberdyfi. Walkers will find the Ffordd Glyndwr long distance footpath passes the caravan site. Further walking is available through the local woodland of Llanbrynmair that was developed by the Forestry Commission.
Please note: This site does not have a toilet block. The maximum outfit length we can accept on this site is 8 metres. Reception at this site closes at 6pm - latest arrival time is 8pm. If you will be arriving between 6pm - 8pm, please contact the site during the day of arrival before 6pm. The site team will be happy to provide you with your check in information.

Peace & Quiet
Gwern-Y-Bwlch Club Campsite
We have passed this site many times on our trips to North Wales. Leaving after work on a recent trip meant we really needed to break the journey and this site sprang to mind. It is perfect. Hard standing pitches ✔️, EHU ✔️. The site is perfectly located with tiered pitches and easy access. No facilities means that it attracts campers who are happy to use their own self contained units and don’t need added attractions. It is great value for money in a lovely peaceful location. No longer will we say as we drive past - we should try this site - we have and we will return.
The absolute top site for peace and quiet.
Gwern-Y-Bwlch Club Campsite
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 field, brilliant mobile and internet reception. Set in deepest mid-Wales this is a gem. Same wardens year for year who know the site and the area like their back yard, well it is their back yard. Been here twice, it sort of makes you want to come back. Thanks especially to the wardens Mr and Mrs Bowyer (??)
Tucked away haven of peace and tranquility
Gwern-Y-Bwlch Club Campsite
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 from a number of visitor locations away from the site. Ideal for a chill out break... Perfect for our requirements
Lovely short break
Gwern-Y-Bwlch Club Campsite
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 need and the road to Dolgellau is beautiful and the Sea at Barmouth isn't too far away. Would use this site again for sure.

If you are a person that likes to explore and go Woww on every bend in the road. this might be a good base for you. Take your camera and clock up some memories. This site is more for, perhaps for 20's upwards. Dont stay on the main road and tourist spots , adventure and find the hidden beauty of wales. 2 Weeks and a thousand miles of adventures. This is your base not your holiday. Grab things you need as u travel, fill up when you see a station. I took almost 3000 magical photo's on this trip, shame I cant post some. Simple,,,,,, EXPLORE,,,,,
