About Glyn Myfyr Camping
A relaxed pop-up campsite in the pretty village of Llanfihangel Glyn Myfyr, this off-grid gem offers just a handful of pitches beside the River Alwen. There are no designated spots – simply choose your own patch when you arrive and park the car alongside. Facilities are deliberately simple: a toilet, water tap and torches-essential darkness, but no showers, so pack accordingly. The trade-off is peace, space and a proper escape from the everyday.
Location-wise, you're brilliantly placed for Snowdonia's greatest hits. Betws-y-Coed's hiking and biking trails lie 40 minutes away, while adrenaline junkies can zipwire over slate mines at Zip World Llechwedd or learn to surf at Surf Snowdonia's inland wave pool. Closer to camp, walks to Rhaeadr Y Graig Lwyd waterfall and the hilltop ruins of Castell Dinas Brân reward with proper Welsh drama.
After a day's adventuring, fire up the barbecue (local shops five minutes' drive) or stroll five minutes to the village pub – close enough to leave the car and enjoy a proper pint.

What visitors say
We visit here regularly as local residents and would highly recommend it to both visitors and those living in the area. The drinks are always served perfectly chilled, and there is an excellent selection of drinks, with new varieties frequently available to try. The staff are second to none, consistently providing a warm welcome and exceptional customer service. The food is equally impressive, whether you're looking for a light snack or a full meal, with every dish prepared to a high standard. Simply delicious 😋. The riverside views and beautiful green surroundings are truly exceptional and not to be missed. The picturesque scenery creates a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, making it the perfect setting to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. While I have not yet had the opportunity to stay on the campsite, it is something I am very much looking forward to doing in the future. Overall, this is a fantastic venue that I would highly recommend.

You could easily drive past and not give this place a second thought it's a Peaceful retreat next to slow trickling river, soft birds lovely garden to enjoy a quite 🍻 Gluten free food (ask for menu!) Has a campsite but unfortunately for us doesn't cater for dog friendly. Such a shame those irresponsible dog owners leave there mess! And spoil it for the rest of us!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟An Absolute Gem in Corwen! If you’re looking for a getaway that combines genuine hospitality, rustic adventure, and top-tier food, The Crown Inn and Campsite is the place to be. We spent an incredible Easter weekend here with another couple, and it was hands-down one of the best camping experiences we’ve had. Hospitality That Goes Above and Beyond We were originally in a real bind after our initial campsite cancelled on us last minute. However, Derry and Jo truly saved our holiday. Derry actually took the time to call me back personally, and they both decided to squeeze us in so we wouldn't miss out on our trip. They are such lovely, genuine people—nothing was too much trouble, and their helpfulness turned a potential disaster into a fantastic memory. The Food: Local & High Quality We ate at the pub several times, and the quality was consistently high. We were lucky enough to be there for the launch of their new breakfast service, and it was spectacular. You can tell they prioritize locally sourced produce; the food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. It’s not just "pub grub"—it’s high-quality dining in a relaxed setting. The Campsite Experience The layout of the site is unique and adventurous! The River Crossing: The site is split by a river, and you actually ford the river to reach the hard-standing pitches. It was such a fun, memorable way to start the stay! The Facilities: It’s a basic, back-to-basics site with a compost toilet available. When the pub is open, you have access to internal toilet as well. And they provide firepits Atmosphere: The grounds are very well-maintained, and the pub itself feels incredibly homely and welcoming. The Local Vibe One of the highlights was the weekend pub quiz. It’s a great way to spend an evening, and the locals are some of the friendliest people you’ll meet. We felt like part of the community within hours of arriving. Summary: Whether you’re there for the fun river crossing, the incredible local breakfast, or just a pint by the fire, Jo and Derry will make sure you’re looked after. We can’t thank them enough for making our Easter weekend so special. We will definitely be back!

Can’t shout about this Freehouse pub enough. If you want a comping staycation, in a location to die for, then look no further. A historical pub circa 1780, with great local real ales and white wine on tap. Local ciders and world food, made with local produce, where possible and some from their own small holding. They are having a Summer Solstice festival on the Saturday 20th June. With Druids, story telling and camping in a variety of ways, from tents to lodges and shed with a bed. Parking for visitors, cars, campers and bikes. Plus free fishing.
