 Have just returned home from this site and have enjoyed our time there. They managed to find us a space even though we had only called at very short notice and at the beginning of school holidays.
Showers, toilets, and washing up area were always clean and well supplied with hot water, even though the site was busy there were enough facilities to always be available. (some other sites should take note).
Staff were friendly and helpful. Although when we first drove onto site, it looked busy but it was deceptive as the pitches are tiered and there was plenty or space.
Great area to visit walking to town and short drive to other attractions, good walks and lake bala to fish/boat/paddle in. Would be happy to return.

We thought this was a great campsite, one of the best we have used in the UK. The camping pitches have been levelled as best they can but we still had a bit of a slope once we had pitched our tent.
The track beside the camping area doesn't usually have any traffic, but since this is a working farm we did have a few noisy tractors and trailers very early in the morning - it was not really a problem.
The toilet block is one of the best, very clean with washing cubicles and good hot showers, and with washing up sinks outside.
The location was ideal for us. You can walk into Bala, for shopping or to eat, in about 15 minutes, so you don't need to get in the car and drive. The Bala Lake Railway is just around the corner.
There are goods walks around the lake from the campsite, and lots of other attractions within a reasonable drive. It's a pity the local tourist office has closed down, as the nearest one is now in Betws-y-Coed.

Nice site, I did not like the allocated pitch but was allowed to change, nothing to dislike. We never go in school holidays The noise from the road could be heard but was not a bother.
A reasonable walk in to town to a choice of restaurants. Suffered from midge bites though from walking by the lake in the evening.

Just spent three nights there over a weekend and I was a bit worried it would be busy and noisy.
Busy, yes. It was full to bursting, but I felt the site looked better completely full. Beautifully kept and glorious spring colour from the many trees full of blossom.
Noisy, no. It was so peaceful and all the kids there seemed well-behaved.
The facility blocks were pristine, the showers very hot, though the dreaded plunger buttons only lasted for around 15 seconds and the flow from the sinks was so limited, it would take ages to fill up for a decent wash.
The young lady on reception and shop was very welcoming and charming and the whole atmosphere was very friendly.
And location-wise it was great, although the road noise was a bit disturbing at times. Very handy for walking into the town, the nearby heritage railway and as a base for cycling the many steep hills in the area!

We visited this site during the Easter school holidays.
On arrival we were greated by a very friendly young lady who checked us in and gave us all the necessary information.
Our pitch was plenty large enough for our 4 birth caravan, awning and car. Toilets and showers were great, always very clean and the showers always delivered plenty of hot water.
First night was rather noisy, due to a group of inconsiderate caravanner's who decided to have a mini party until after midnight. It would have been nice if the owners has confronted them about this, especially as the site rules say quiet after 10:30pm! luckily the noisy people left the site the following day.
The location of the site is brilliant. Just a five minute walk from Bala lake and 15 minute walk from Bala town.
In all, a great site that we'd definitely return to.

We stayed on this lovely site for 5 nights. We were given a friendly welcome and offered a choice of a different pitch as the pitch we had booked was a little wet due to the recent rain. The toilet block was extremely clean and well looked after.
The showers were the push button type but I didn't find this a problem. The wash cubicles were a great advantage. The site is very peaceful, with lots of bird life, although there is some traffic noise from the road if you are on the side of the site adjacent to it. There is not much lighting on the site so a good torch is a must.
Bala is just a short walk from the site, as is the lake. There is a Co-op and a Spar and Roberts, the butchers, is to be recommended.
If you want to launch your own boat or kayak, go to the car park on the other side of the lake where you can purchase a permit for much less than you will be quoted at the boating club.
Unfortunately, the weather was against us this trip but will return to this site again.

We were let down by Glanllyn Caravan and Camping Site (simply refused space on arrival, despite booking in advance, because our VAN would damage their grass) and late in the evening were driving around trying to find somewhere to stay.
Reception at Pen Y Bont was already closed, however the lady answered the door bell and warmly welcomed us. This is what you can call immensely helpful and highly professional staff. Stayed at the camping site for a couple of days and had really great time. Our boy was extremely excited!
The camping site itself is very well equipped and managed, also clean and tidy. Around are beautiful views and lots of different activities including water activities. Would be definitely recommending Pen Y Bont to others and looking forward to stay there again

We've just returned from a very pleasant weekend at this lovely site. What a nice relaxing site, lovely walks and only a 15 minute walk into the busy little town of Bala where we sampled the local ales!
The site facilities are good and the staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning to this site in the near future.

A beautiful little site. Sloping but with levels cut into the slope for the generous pitches. Well kept, clean facilities with plenty of free hot water. Friendly site staff who frequently wandered around to check campers were ok in bad weather.
A lovely little shop on site, well stocked with the option to hire out firepits for £10 a stay (including a bag of logs). It's also worth mentioning that this site is quite sheltered from the wind. We had 65kph gusts during our stay and hardly felt it in our pole tent.
Will definitely be going back. A gem of a find!

Just returned after a weeks stay at this site. It is perfectly placed to visit attractions around the area.
The toilet block was spotless. Always plenty of hot water in the shower. The pitches were all a good size and very well kept. We had a fully serviced pitch. I would certainly recommend this site if you are going to Bala. The town has some good pubs and hotel bars. And if you going to have a BBQ go to the butchers in town, great selection and all very tasty. Local walks and other places to visit are all in the site shop. Wifi voucher can be purchased in the shop. £7 for seven days, I think that's reasonable. All in all a lovely site.

Lovely site within walking distance of the lake and town. We visited the first weekend of the season so the site was still quite quiet. Easy approach to the site, lovely reception with shop and helpful friendly staff. Choice of pitch - nice mountain views.
Good facilities - plenty of toilet and showers, plenty of bins and recycling. Toilet roll dispensers were a bit frustrating only rolling out one sheet at a time! Showers hot and free - no complaints there.
Would definitely return - hopefully see a bit of sunshine next time!

Even though we missed the 7pm (we encountered some problems in our unit) deadline our pitch was clearly marked on the shop window.
We visited the shop in the morning and it was well stocked, not only with groceries but with odds and sods like guy lines and spares for pipes etc.
I noticed an elderly gent having some problems with his awning and went to lend a hand, the campsite manager was already there lending a hand, so top bloke.
The site is ideally located for the lake and it's watersports. Bala is 15 mins meander away and has all the amenities that comes with a small town.
The sites amenities are great, warm showers, clean toilets, etc.

We stayed here for a two night weekend break. The site was quiet and the wardens were friendly. Although the rules say that you need to vacate by 11am we were not hurried off so we could dry the tent out to pack it.
The shower block was clean.
It was about 15 minutes walk to Bala itself where there are lots of pubs and shops. We weren't there for long enough to have a proper look around but we will be going back for a longer stay to rectify that!
We had a view of the lake from our pitch and there were plenty of picnic tables around the site.
We liked it and will return.

Just got back from a three night stay at Pen y bont campsite. What a great little site. From the minute we arrived til we left everyone at the camp were very pleasant and helpful. A great location, close to Bala lake and the town. The site is very well landscaped and excellent and clean shower blocks. Hope to return soon.

Our family group stayed here August 1st till 11th I would just like to thank all the staff who created a great atmosphere for us to have a wonderful time. The site facilities and pitches were always clean and well-kept and the location was spot on for the walks and water sports which we had hoped for. WiFi is paid for and works very well.
An extra + was that Bala itself was only a 10-minute walk away, very handy for the pubs, restaurants and shops.
We certainly recommend this site to anyone visiting the area.
