Really nice site, a bit difficult to find as the hedge had not been cut by the sign showing the direction to the camp site, drove past several times before phoning to get directions to the site.
Very well set out site, mixture of grass and hardstands, with electric if needed, staff very friendly and approachable,
toilets and showers very clean at all times free showers nice and hot and you don't keep having to push a button like a lot of sites. Will I return. YES

I went here with a friend to a small meet. The wardens managed to site all 7 units together at the end of the field, which was very accommodating for a small site such as this.
It rained for 3 days and three nights, but the site didn't flood, although the stream became a river at times! When the sun came out, it was lovely, a few midges about though, so take some skin-so-soft with you.
I couldn't fault the facilities, all were very clean and the daily clean time didn't get in the way as they open the disabled toilet to everyone while they do the general loos, so no need to cross your legs for an hour! Because we were at the far end of the site, it was a good walk to the toilet block, but that was ok, seeing as there were rather a lot of us who wanted to be next to each other!
The dog walk was a bit small to be a walk, more just a 'business' facility really, but there were some nice walks out into the surrounding countryside and up and down the little lanes, so not too bad.
It is not a short walk into Bala, it's two miles away and the road has no footpaths and is busy. The best way is to drive there, and there are three main car parks when you arrive - two where the village begins (from the Corwen road) and a large park right by the lake at the other end of the village and leisure centre, which also has a nice cafe.
A Fish and Chip shop and other takeaways in Bala, a couple of nice cafes, several pubs, and a petrol station. Also other nice little shops, a few sell camping gear and hardware as well, and three charity shops, I got a great bargain in one of those!
When the sun came out, we went to Fairbourne for the day (a lovely little unspoilt village, unlike it's neighbour, Barmouth) and walked on the beach in the sunshine, lovely! A great place to take children for the day, small amusements arcade, cafes x 2, small co-op, very friendly locals and of course, that glorious clean beach, which is dog friendly to the left-hand side of the village as you approach the prom.
Overall, and considering that there were a few of us going, the site and managers were very accommodating, the little shop was adequate and the site quite level, drainage not too bad, considering the 3 day downpour. Quiet at night too, not counting the sheep!

Arrived on site with snow on the ground - some trepidation with regard to what the weather might throw at us - we had one day of constant rain and showery for the rest of the week - main issue was that the ground was waterlogged and very muddy.
The site is fairly small but the pitches don't feel cramped at all.
Facilities are fairly limited as you would expect on a small site, but never had to queue for the showers, even over the bank holiday weekend. Toilets were always clean and regularly inspected.
Also have a small shop on site plus launderette.
Very friendly and helpful staff on-site.
Small play area on site.
Great setting, very quiet and fantastic scenery.
Only a few miles from Bala, for shops.
Don't miss the cafe in the Bala Leisure Centre - sounds strange but some of the best lunches we had all week and great value. Also next to the leisure centre is a great tourist information centre.
Great site and great holiday, will be back, hopefully the weather will be kinder next time.

We were here for a sailing regatta on Bala Lake over the August Bank Holiday weekend. A superb site in an excellent location. Good pot washing facilities, and toilets.
Didn't try WiFi since we were at the top of the site. A well cut grass pitch with plenty of space.
Would definitely return. Site shop sells eggs and milk. Nothing local in terms of shops but Bala a short drive away. Good confectioners and butchers.
All in all a most convivial weekend plus my son picked up second prize in the Junior section of the regatta.

Unfortunately we had to cut short our stay here (due to a family problem), but will do a review anyway. The welcome was very friendly, although we had to go searching for John & Pat as office was shut when we arrived, not a problem really as the site is relatively small. We were quickly booked in, shown to our pitch & left to get on with our pitching. The site itself is level, only one toilet/shower block which were always clean, a previous post complained about the toilets being closed for cleaning at an odd time, we didn't find this, they do the cleaning between 11 & 12 most people leaving would be away by then, newcomers wouldn't have arrived and anyone staying on site would more than likely be away for the day at that time. The site wi-fi is only any good if you're right by the office, we chose instead to use a mobile internet dongle on the Three network which worked perfectly. There is a small play park (a couple of swings and a slide) which were very popular while we were there.
If towing make sure you don't miss the turning in to the site once off the main road as the road is very narrow and turning round could be a problem, it'd be hard enough to turn round when not towing.
The town of Bala looks nice a few pubs and takeaways along with a Co-op and a Londis supermarket. Unfortunately we weren't there long enough to sample the local hospitality.
We hope to return very soon to finish our holiday.

Stayed for 3nights. Site itself is clean and tidy well looked
Toilets are very clean and well kept
Description of site is misleading as its not really the perfect place to explore snowdonia as its just on the edge of it and the wifi is a waste of time, as you can only get it 15 meters from the office, however very nice happy quiet site up with the best.
Bala itself is nice but I get the feeling its slowly going down as I compare it to 15 years ago, when it was full of windsurfers etc and thriving, it now just seems to be normal welsh town.
My only compliant is the site closes all the toilets at the same time for cleaning right on check out time 'not good if in a tent with kids '. May be good idea to clean them one at a time
All in all good site and would go back definitely recommend it.
