Located just behind the sand dunes, you are literally a stones throw from the beach. Perfect for relaxing, you can hear the peaceful waves on the shore and the beautiful sunsets can be breath-taking. Alternately, if you are looking to use up some energy, you are perfectly located to enjoy miles & miles of beach & open space. The facilities are simple but well maintained and the Management Team are welcoming & friendly. The site is very family friendly and also welcomes dogs (on leads). A perfect base for exploring North Wales, you are only a short drive from the most stunning locations including Mount Snowdon, Llanberis Lake Railway, Betws y coed, Caernrfon & the beautiful peninsula. Benefitting not just from its beach location but also its close proximity to local amenities e. G. Café/bar only 5 mins stroll away, Spar & Take Away, just a few mins drive, it is also just 5 mins drive from the lovely harbour town of Porthmadog. Here there is everything from trains (Ffestiniog & WHHR Railways)a lovely High Street full of every kind of shop, big & small (inc Tesco)and tucked away but very handy are Lidl & Aldi. Glan y Mor Camping Park has everything my family & I look for in a holiday. We have visited this site on numerous occasions and look forward to returning again soon. Highly recommended.
This site has a glorious location, it's just behind the dunes of Black Rock Sands and also has a lovely view of Moel-y-Gest.
The facilities are clean and tidy - the toilets and showers are separate blocks each with their own code (you get a leaflet when you arrive with the codes on) I suppose because it's so close to the beach they have to be secured. The washing up area has only two sinks, but that was never a problem even though the site was quite full when we were there.
The wardens/family that run the site are helpful and friendly.
Other info - you can loan ice blocks at 50p/block with a £1 deposit, and you can get phones etc charged for 50p at the wardens caravan.
Great family site, right on the beach - really couldn't be any closer. Very clean toilet / shower facilities - one of the best we have seen. No playground, but as others have stated, you don't need it when the beach is so close.
As soon as you arrive you are greeted by very friendly wardens, who are always walking around checking on the site, making sure no-one is breaking any rules, and everyone is having a good time. Haven't seen any other wardens taking their job so seriously, and felt that the site was very secure with them around.
Very tasty chip shop five minutes drive away, next to a useful Spar shop. Porthmadog, a bit farther, lovely busy town, harbour and plenty of shops. Criccieth Castle (which you can see from the beach), is reasonably priced at £10. 50 for family of four (plus dogs allowed). Criccieth also has a lovely beach and town. Would also recommend Pwllheli and further along the Lyn Peninsula if you fancy a drive.
Excellent site with new fresh great wardens who appear to care and do a great job.
Site updated with a few more hook ups.
Toilets and showers good and clean all the time.
Dog policy of deposit is good. Can be a pain at items with mess, tent next to ours let theirs roam. They were swiftly advised.
Beach location was as always the best.
£5 paid to go on per day with car. Worth it though.
Only issue were a band of flying insects that settled on my tent. No one else's and water, spray and bashing didn't get rid. Thankfully the inner kept them out of the bed area, so keep zipped up.
Following day, they were all gone. It's nature after all.
Glanllyn is situated on the shore of Lake Bala in Wales. 16 acres of natural parkland and spectacular views of nearby hills and mountains make it an idyllic spot to pitch a caravan, motorhome, tent or campervan with level grass or hardstanding pitches. For water sports enthusiasts there is a private shingle beach with easy launching area for windsurfing, sailing, kayaking, fishing and paddle boarding. Camp shop, wifi, laundrette, excellent heated toilet & shower facilities. The market town of Bala is 3 miles away with plenty of small shops, pubs & retaurants, cinema and a leisure centre.

Just come back from this gem of a site, the toilets and showers were always clean and the keypad entry was a great idea, showers very powerful, lovely large pitch sizes we had electric hook up and backed on to the sand dunes, the site is very close to the beach but always felt safe as there are plenty of staff always about and gates are closed at 11pm, I was very impressed with the young groups of lads, they were really polite and we never had any issues with loutish behaviour, all in all we have had a lovely weekend and will deffinately be returning. I would recommend this site to anyone, proper camping the way it should be.
Well what can I say we have been coming here for years and wow what a transformation the new wardens have clearly worked above and beyond to get the site looking stunning, its a great feeling when you are greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere, we started coming here with a tent many years ago and now have our Motorhome on a lovely spacious pitch with electric hook up and they have added more new hook up points.
The New toilet block always has hot water on demand, and it is regularly cleaned which is essential for us.
The site is in a great location, (blue flag beach) right on a sandy beach,
Great for kids. And dogs as they are allowed from the site right along the beach
There is a local Spar shop just 5 minutes drive which caters for all your essentials, there are also Tesco, lidl and Aldi in Porthmadog so you have every thing you need.
The warden Managers are always either cutting the grass, litter picking or seeing to customers they will go over and above for you and you can call them any time they are all to happy to help, well done guys you made our holiday so relaxing and memorable we will be back again this season.
They have now have a Facebook page which is great as you can message them to book and its so convenient also they update it regularly showing new pictures.
Finally keep up the good work we feel you have turned the site round can't wait to return
Camping as it should be - in a field not a car park/hardstanding in site.
Great site right on the beach with only sand dunes between you and the sea. The toilets and showers are the porta cabin type but are allways kept very clean with no shortage of hot water two sinks and drainers are available for washing up.
To make the site complete are the wardens they not only like what they do they do it with a smile - well done steve and bex.
Fantastic site, the owners made our stay great so welcoming and helpful don't know how they do all that on their own. Toilets clean 24/7. Definitely coming back. Could do with more electric hook ups. Great for family's. The owner makes sure there is no loud groups. Helpful having bricks for barbecue there for you. Beach stone throw away. Perfect site for family's. Good pub half mile away for family's good food. Glanaber, greenachers next door if you fancy a day there, it's a holiday park £5 for a day ticket. Near by Porthmadog has all the shops you need on holiday and supermarkets x
Can`t really get any closer to the beach, other than being on it.
Very friendly and helpful host. Toilet/showers can be a bit of a pain due to the key pad, but if you have a good memory will not be a problem, you do get a sheet with them on. I couldn`t understand why they needed these, until I went into the toilets for the beach! quickly got out of there!
Site toilets/showers very clean. No shop on site but a Spar/fish n chip shop just up the road 1/2 mile approx, and a pub/club in the opposite direction, within walking distance.
Will go back.
