Four Gwynedd campsites have been recognised by a group championing holiday parks across the UK.

Bryn Gloch, which sits beside the River Gwyrfai in Betws Garmon and Rhyd y Galen, which covers a 20-acre site, in Bethel near Caernarfon, are among those named as Premier Parks following site inspections.

In the south of the county, there's also recognition for the Tyddyn Llwyn caravan park near Porthmadog and Islawffordd luxury park situated close to the beach at Tal-y-Bont, near Barmouth.

Around 100 campsites and touring parks form the Premier Parks collection, having been assessed for its facilities, setting, landscaping and pitches, along with what visitors can access nearby.

Spokesperson Jack Hart said: "Bryn Gloch Caravan & Camping Park, Rhyd y Galen Caravan & Camping Park, Islawrffordd Luxury Holiday Park and Tyddyn Llwyn Caravan Park are a really good fit for Premier Parks."

"They have their own characters, strong settings and give people a real reason to stay in the area, which is exactly what we look for when putting the collection together."

According to Cyngor Gwynedd, tourism is worth an estimated £1.78 billion a year to the county, attracting 7.75 million visitors and supporting around 17,600 jobs.

Both the council and the Eryri National Park Authority are currently working through a 2035 plan to balance the economic benefits of the tourism industry with the needs of local communities, the Welsh language and the environment.

A fifth site in Gwynedd, Llys Derwen in Llanrug, was already featured in the Premier Parks list, which currently does not include any campsites or tourism parks on Anglesey.
