Just returned from 4 days spent at this lovely site. The owners are warm and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. They are mindful to leave plenty of space in the centre of each field to allow for children (and mums and dads) to play! They are also on hand 24/7 and casually stroll about the site chatting to guests and joining in with the laughing and banter!
The toilets are mixed, however there is an area within the toilets which is 'closed off' so to speak so if you prefer a bit of privacy either in the shower or toilet, it is available. The toilets are cleaned very regularly and although no toilet paper is supplied, the owners are willing to provide should you arrive with none. I think this is a very good idea and makes people more environmentally conscious!
The kitchen facilities has two sinks, two microwaves, a large fridge and separate freezer and I presume a washer and drier (we didn't use so can't be certain if both washing machines).
On speaking to the owner to enquire about seasonal pitches she advised there was no availability and I think this speaks volumes.
The tent pitches were level and the grass well cut. No issues with the use of electricity.
Unfortunately due to the weather we only managed to view 2 sunsets from the beach which is adjacent to the site but they were beautiful. The beach does have some sand but in the main is pebble and shingle, , it is lovely to have so close though and is a really lovely walk, just remember your walking shoes or wellies for this!
I would definitely return to this lovely site which is well placed for tourist attractions but also peaceful and tranquil being set off the beaten track!
We were here at a quiet time and as a last stop off on way home, but we will be back. Loved that you can walk to the beach from the site, very peaceful and beautiful views. As there weren't many others there the unisex toilet/showers wasn't a problem, but I'm not sure how Ill feel with a member of the opposite sex showering alongside me ha ha! Well with a partician wall I mean. Also as has been mentioned there are no seats or shelves in the shower, so all you get are a few hooks, so a lot of juggling and trying not to get your clothes wet etc as you can imagine. Also the shower button has to be pressed every 15 seconds, which is at least better than every 10 seconds in the previous campsite. These are just minor niggles, overall it was fantastic and we will be back.
This is our 3rd time in 12 months at this site and we love it. The owners are great, nothing is too much bother for them at all. The site is well kept and the facilities are great. Will most definitely be back and highly recommended to any campers.
I'm writing this review after just spending a full season here on a seasonal pitch, This place is a hidden gem, not commercial at all and kids are left to play safely with freedom. The site is located next to the beach and the evening sun sets are got to be seen to be believed, most weekend nights are spent around a campfire by your pitch or on the beach, what else do you need and the owners dedication to running the site is outstanding.
We had a fantastic time here the owners are very friendly and helpful, as you see her making her rounds making sure everyone is happy. The site is on the edge of the beach but is very pebbley and great for watching the sunset.
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.

Very large campsite, consists of 3 level fields. 1 is almost full of approx 30 seasonal caravans, the other 2 fields are for tents, campers & caravans. Plenty of ehu around all the fields. Grass is shortish, but wasn't cut before we arrived & wasn't cut for the whole 2 weeks either, so was quite long by the time we left. Noticed the seasonals have to cut their own grass around their units.
Large shower block, consisted of 3 showers, 3 basins & 3 toilets in one area, then another 2 toilets & 2 little shower rooms with toilets & basins in another area. However they are all unisex! Which takes quite a bit of getting used to. The toilets & showers are separated by a thin wooden panel which doesn't go all the way to the ceiling or floor so having to shower with a member of the opposite sex in the toilets, doing what they do best, isn't nice. The noise & smells can be off putting!
However it did mean that there were no queues as they are being utilised to the max. They are cleaned regularly, but the toilets can still be a bit stained at times due to their use. Also they do not supply toilet paper due to wastage so please remember to take your own!
No shelves etc in showers, just hooks, so it's a bit awkward, esp if your with children.
There is a little kitchen area for the campers too, it has a microwave, washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge, freezer, sinks, info leaflets. All free to use.
The owners are lovely, really laid back, very friendly & helpful, willing to give advice on the local area, where to visit, eat etc.
Site is very conveniently positioned for snowdon & surrounding area. Just a shirt, 2 min walk across the tent field and you are on the stoney pebble beach. Nice to sit & watch the sunset & walk the dogs but not for swimming. You could use your kayak here too. You can't really walk anywhere from here, no pubs etc in walking distance, although there is a good bus service.
Overall an uncommercial site, very large though & can get noisy at night as they allow groups. A few nights were spoilt by noise until 2am! Doubt if we will return as we prefer small quiet sites.
We have been coming here for a few years now and just love this site. We started of with a tent, have hired the Pods and now we bring our caravan. This year we have been 3 times.
Friends joined us with there caravan, it's was a first visit for them here and they planned just staying for the weekend. They stayed for a week !. As campers they like sites with entertainment so this was a different experience for them but them extending there time said it all.
The site over the time we have been coming improves each year. The kitchen area provides everything tent campers need (and caravaners too) from fridge, freezer, washer, tumble dryer, microwave and even a slow cooker. The owners keep the toilet block nice and clean, the fields are well kept with the grass being kept short. Nothing is too much for them. Keep up the great work you do on this gem of a site. We will certainly be returning again and again
We had three nights at this peaceful rural and well run campground where we found the owners very approachable and helpful. The facilities are first class and the showers were among the best we experienced in a three month cycle tour of UK and Ireland.
As visitors from New Zealand we were entranced by the historic sites we were able to visit within close proximity and highly recommend it anyone looking to relax.
We really enjoyed the stay at this campsite. The owners are very helpful and friendly and are always walking around to ensure everything is OK.
Dogs are allowed on the campsite which I’m not a great lover of but there were no problems.
The shower and toilet facilities are mixed use which some people don’t like. Personally it makes sense as it uses the facilities to the full rather than ladies being full gents half full etc. The only thing to remember is take your own toilet roll as they don’t supply it. The showers were great and always warm and I rarely waited which is better than most campsites I’ve been to.
There is also a washing machine and dryer for anyone that might want one (a charge does apply for this) and an upright fridge freezer (no charge) that is always used a lot by everyone. These are at the end of the toilet block where there are also two washing facilities for pots. There were also two mains sockets spare in this room which people charged gadgets on but left at their own risk. (didn’t hear of any problems)
There isn’t an on-site shop and you are quite isolated but we picked this site as it’s not commercial but is friendly and relaxed. There is a petrol station 2 miles away which has a mini supermarket and Tesco, Morrison’s and Asda are all in Caernarfon which is about 15-20 mins by car depending on traffic.
My only negative was the beach over the field isn’t a beach it’s rocky and you can’t really get into the sea easily unless you have aqua shoes on as its slippery seaweed and rocks. Not a fault of the campsite but something people should be aware of. The plus side is people do have little campires at on the beach at night and you do get great sunsets.
We were very lucky as the weather was amazing which always helps but we enjoyed the stay and as most reviews have already said the owners are always around to help with any questions you may have.
