 We have been here on a number of occasions and was very surprised on our first ever camping trip. Its because of this site that we got the camping bug. Owners were extremely friendly with ourselves an the children, I felt very safe in letting the kids just play and get on with it. The site was beautiful and very clean. The shower and toilet facilities were very nice and clean, with plenty of them so no queueing. I would definitely recommend this site, yes it had aeroplanes flying over head but this was not very often and this just added to the amusement of the kids.
As we are big fans of kayaking this was also a very good site to be on with Bala lake just up the round (5 mins drive) which children can also play on the pebbly beach there and the town was very well equipped for all major food shops, but the shop on site also stocked all the necessities needed.
All in all very nice, peaceful site well worth the money paid.
And like others we only intended to stay for 2 nights but ended up staying for 4 nights, we didn't even have to move our tent the owners just booked around us.

What a lovely site with friendly owners, stayed for 5 nights and would definitely go again. Decent sized pitches, can only repeat what everyone else has said. Short walk from town or for a walk around the lake. Essentials sold in the shop and a few other bits and pieces reasonably priced.

Stayed at this site for 3 nights over the Easter weekend. I can honestly say this is one of the best campsites we have stayed at so far. Not too big, safe for our two small children, friendly owners and clean heated toilet and shower facilities (even had piped music playing day and night!) Even though it was during the holiday period the owners have obviously taken care not to cram too many pitches onto the site which ensures that everyone has plenty of room. Can't rate this site highly enough and we will certainly be visiting again.

I can only repeat what other reviewers have said really. This is a lovely site with very friendly and helpful owners who work hard and long to ensure that their site is a pleasure to visit and always with a smile and time for a chat. The pitches are spacious and some do slope but not enough to make pitching a tent and siting your bed a problem. Bins, water and waste points are within yards of every pitch as well. Facilities are excellent and kept spotless. Water always hot and never a queue for either washing yourself our your pots. The site also has excellent disabled or baby facilities. The campsite shop is well stocked and a lot of the prices were cheaper than my local Co Op. The site is also very dog friendly with lots of walks right from the front gate.
Bala is a nice, friendly Welsh market town with all the amenities you need, several pubs, restaurants and takeaways. Two good supermarkets and a couple of camping shops. All just a short walk away or with excellent parking if you have mobility problems. The scenery and surroundings are stunning and you are centrally placed for everything North/Mid Wales has to offer. This site will be a regular haunt of ours in future.

This site was recommended to us by the nearby white water rafting centre and I checked the reviews here before booking. We originally booked for 3 nights (ended up staying 4 and would have stayed longer if we didn't have other commitments!). The owners are very friendly and helpful, recommending places to visit etc., even teaching my children how to speak welsh, taking time to talk to them and make them feel welcome. My kids are 13,12 and 6 and thoroughly enjoyed their stay (I don't get to say that very often!).
The facilities were always clean, plenty of hot water and we never had to queue for showers - even when the site filled up over the bank holiday! We had hard standing and had no problems at all. It is obvious that some of the pitches have been levelled out over the winter period and this should help to eliminate some of the difficulties previous reviews have mentioned. A big thumbs up from us - we will definitely return when in the area again.
For families I would recommend taking the train that runs alongside the lake, walk into the village and having meal at the Eagle pub. Rafting - excellent, fantastic experience!

Only intended to camp for one night, but caught some great weather and stayed for two! Its a relatively small site with decent size pitches marked out, so I doubt you ever feel overcrowded like some of the free-for-all stack-em and pack-em sites. We stayed right at the start of the season so there were plenty of empty pitches.
Site run by very friendly and helpful folks and in a great location. Site shop with a few supplies and gas canisters & bottles, etc. This site has probably the best toilet/wash/shower block we have ever seen on our camping travels - very modern, clean and I would have thought quite adequate for the size of the site even when fully booked up.
A short walk to lake Bala and probably around a 15 min walk (3min drive) into Bala town itself. A lovely little town with plenty of places to eat (and drink). We loved this site - so did the dog!

Arrived with my husband to stay 4 nights at this campsite. The welcome was very friendly - the owners were very helpful. They had thought of everything (which we were impressed with before booking) bbqs allowed with stands provided with a deposit; showers were free and hairdryer available for 20p; picnic benches were around the site which you could have alongside your own tent; you could order meat from the butchers who would deliver onsite ready for your bbq as well as other items being available from the shop at reception (where you could buy maps, postcards, stamps and get leaflets about attractions as well as various other items)
The town was a short walk away where there was a Somerfield, a chinese take away and an off license, a pizza place as well as a few pubs.
The only thing was that we were on pitch 82 and it was on a bit of a slope!
Obviously this is an area for the RAF training so you do have to be ready to hold your ears however it was planned so that they would not do the same route every day!

Just returned from Penybont ,we booked for two nights enjoyed so much stayed for four. Didn,t need to move our camper ,there are so many lovely walks Bala town can be reached along the river bank our westie Sophie loved this walk there are several places where she was able to swim.
Bala itself is ideal for eating out day or night you can stroll back along the lake to make it a round trip.
Our Favorite walk was to follow the well sign-posted route running above the campsite,stopping at the Bala lake hotel which over looks the lake for a pint or two on the way back .
This site is the best so far and will be returning many times more. Didn't get time to fish ,Canoe or try out the little train that runs along the campsite .

I would highly recommend this site. The owners was always happy to help and had a smile on there face.
The toilet block is clean and we always had hot water no matter what time of day.
Dog friendly as long as you clean up after he or she.
The town is a short walk away and has a few nice bars and shops.
If you want a relaxing and friendly get away go you will not be disappointed

Just got back still mopping up the tears! This is a wonderful site the owners are extremely helpful & very friendly. Toilet block very clean and always quiet never had to wait for toilet or showers even thought the parks seemed to be full, there was a large group of French students and a large group of Americans so we expected to queue but we never did.
The shop is not expensive like you expect, and they give you a form to order meat from the local butcher he delivers it and they keep it in the fridge for you. VERY GOOD meat, we had beef burgers, sirloin steak and ribs.
The town is not far and there is around 8 pubs. Also Bala lake hotel which is in a great setting over looking the lake, you can get there on the country lane to the right of the park, we will be back to this great park soon. Alicia, Stuart & Paddy

Stayed for long weekend, could not have wished for better site. Lovely setting with excellent toilet block, very clean with nice hot water, and without a time limit. Owners very helpful and very friendly, recommending extremely good pub to us with excellent food to celebrate my 40th. Would definitely visit again and would highly recommend it to anyone else visiting the area.

What can I say, exellent quiet site with very high standard of hygene. Very reasonable prices for pitches, friendly staff that make you welcome. In the village if your hungry visit the Red Lion hotel and try out their carvery good price and exellent food. I will be visiting again. One of the good things about this site is the showers are free, and if you need the use of a hair dryer this is also free. At £15 per night without awning and including electric hook up and water this is a great site that offers peace and quiet could not fault it at all. It also has a launderette where you can wash your items if you need to.

The on-line description is a fair representation of the camp site. We'd add to this by saying the site is very tidy, clean and secure. The facilities are spotless and the pitches are a generous size.
There are plenty of forest, riverside and lakeside walks possible from the site, Bala town is only a ten to fifteen minute walk away.
The site owners are very friendly and hospitable - probably the friendliest camp-site owners we've come across yet!
If you're looking for a peaceful, clean and relatively spacious campsite, with a good shop and which is also fairly close to town, then choose this one!

Really nice, friendly site, good clean toilets and shower facilities. Only problem we had was with the slope of the field, spending 3 nights retrieving small children from the bottom of their sleeping bags got a bit tiresome. Apart from the slope got no problems with this site.
Don't eat in Old School House restaurant, poor food and quite pricey.

Great site. My first camping trip with my nine year old son and a super choice. The owners made us feel very welcome and helped us with some knowledge of the local area.
Toilets and shower block were very clean and well kitted out. The site is small but charming and we found it quiet enough at night.
Location is great too. Two minutes walk to the Lake and the railway station and 10 minutes walk to the town centre. We found excellent food in the evening at the White Lion Royal Hotel and a good breakfast a bit further down the high street.
We only stayed one night but I'm sure we will return later in the year.
