 We have stayed at this site now on about seven or eight occasions and every time, has been a pleasure. The site is very clean and well maintained and ideal for kids.
There is a small shop which covers your basic needs but there are a couple of large shops about a five minute drive away. Toilets and showers are very clean also.
The couple who run the site are very pleasant and helpful. Last time I tried to book, they were full but the owner pulled out al the stops and somehow managed to fit me in.
If you do stay here, make sure you take the time to have a look at the wood carvings, they are brilliant. I would recommend this site to anyone looking for a nice quiet stay.

This is a very nice site and is very easy to get to. We stayed in our 32ft motorhome and they were very helpful in accommodating us as most sites would just say no.
Staff well the owners were Very friendly.
The site we found was very clean and well presented.
The Shower /toilet blocks were very clean also.
The shop was very well stocked and was one of the best we have seen.
Could do with a swing of some sort for kids.
Will return to this site for a fact.

This is a great site - we booked to stay for three nights - some initial confusion when we checked in and a query over the price we were quoted which was different from to arrival - however to be fair they honoured the booked price.
We were originally given a pitch that was unsuitable as we couldn't reach the electric hook up - but again this was no problem they changed the location.
The facilities here are very clean and there is plenty of room between pitches so you get some privacy. The only down side is a lot of the tent area is on a slope, so you need to give some thought to how you pitch if you are a given a slot on a slop - we overcame this with a few adjustments.
Another fantastic feature is the local butcher delivers meat for your BBQ daily - its all at very cheap prices and was good quality.
Met the owners a few times and they were really nice - this is a site we will re visit - we had a great stay - if you are in this area make sure you visit Black Rock sands.
Also the Chinese take away in Bala village is worth a visit

Excellent site well managed and maintained by the owners.
Stayed 3 nights, good level pitches well stocked shop and a very useful delivery service from the local butchers was ideal for the BBQ.
A relaxed 15 minute walk via the side of the lake and we were in the town, everything from pubs, restaurants and take aways.
On site the toilet and shower facilities were immaculate with plenty of hot water.
There is plenty to do with water sports and fishing catered for, and walks to suit everyones taste.
Looking forward to visiting again.

Just got back from a 3 night stay at the Pen-Y-Bont campsite and have to say it was thoroughly enjoyable.
The site itself is well laid out and even though it was full, it was very peaceful and relaxing. The grounds are well kept with no litter or mess around.
The owners were very helpful with advice regarding places to eat out or visit etc.
Our stay was made even more enjoyable by the fantastic Bank Holiday weather. It's such a sun trap here as there was hardly any wind at all.
The town is a 15 minute walk and has numerous pubs and we can highly recommend the White Lion Hotel for food.
We wouldn't hesitate booking this site again in the future, in fact, next time we climb Snowdon this will be our base again.

First time caravan expedition,arrived around 5pm on Friday. The owner guided us to several pitches which were all equally great. Loads of space for car and awning, pitched up with electric hook up. Plenty of water taps all around. Toilets and shower were very clean. Quiet at night. Shop well stocked. A great site on the edge of bala lake. Would visit again.

Stayed here for one night in October so as to make the most of the indian summer weather in the surrounding countryside.
We were in a small tent and were allocated a pitch along the edge of the site adjacent to the wood.
This site has been considerately landscaped and pitches are well spaced out. Cars can be parked close to the pitches (along the Track) so this keeps the grounds in good condition.
The Facilities were all under one roof a short walk from any pitch, and were very good. Tidy, plenty of hot water, shower cubicles, shave cubicles etc.
Washing up facilities and laundry room also in the same spot.
The site was quite quiet so no queues.
The Owners were very helpful when we booked in and were more than happy to answer any questions, or offer help where they could.
The Road noise is apparent but only due to the lack of noise from the site, and only when the cars are really pushing it.
Its a short walk into town where there are shops and pubs etc. And its all on pavements.
There is a distinct lack of light around the tent field which is no bad thing but remember a torch for the midnight toilet trips. The Bins and Water tap are lit however.
An enjoyable stay and we will return again soon.

This is a lovely site. The staff are helpful and friendly. Beautiful surroundings, toilets and shower block spotless and the site shop is handy. I loved the grove with the carvings from the Mabinogion.
Dog friendly with a walk area by the site, couldn't get satelite t.V. Reception. Guy from the office kindly came to jump-start our camper when we had a flat battery this morning, he did it with a friendly smile as if it were no trouble at all, sorry we didn't get his name.
We will go back to Pen Y Bont again.

Having read some of the reviews of this site we decided to try it out. What a wonderful site, well located, well run and cared for and will return in the near future. Not once did we find the toilet/shower areas dirty and there was always plenty of hot water.
Our daughter also liked the idea that the site has a recycling policy for cans, bottles and paper. This will become one of our top sites, would recommend to anyone who does not require a club house or kids playing area.
The other reviews really say it all.

Nice site Very well laid out with plenty of room, Plenty of taps, and hookups Extremely clean, lovely clean toilet block, very peaceful, owners very friendly, the gates are locked at night from 11pm to 7.30am. The shop is limited to what it sells but Bala isn't to far away, could do with a kiddies playground/area, Ok for touring around but you are a distance from the coast,close to the lake, we thought it was expensive for what was on the site but saying that it was a Bank holiday, this was a last minute booking so lucky to find anywhere. Bala is a small town with limited shops somewhere to visit but not live if you know what I mean, fuel was expensive add 10p a litre to what you paid, locals not very friendly. 1 small co-op & Spar, good area for cycling, water sports and walking.

This is the second visit to this site.We spent 5 nights and had a great time. The site is well landscaped and quiet. The toilet and shower block was very clean as was the washing up area. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. The on site shop was always well stocked with an option of putting meat orders in for bbq's and the option for morning papers to be ordered. There was plenty of room on the pitch for the children to play. Bala village is about a 15 minute walk with a good range of shops. There is a spar,co-op, chip shop plus too many more to mention. We would recommend this site and will be visiting again soon.

We happened upon Pen y Bont, while 3 of us were out motorcycling and rain was threatening. The owners made us very welcome and offered us space for our 3 tents and a hardstanding to park the bikes on - all for 7 pound each.
The owners couldn't have been more helpful giving us taxi numbers and shot cuts into town (pub!) etc.
Its quite a compact site with level pitches and very good, basic facilities, useful shop and a handy location for the lake and the town.
The town itself has all you need many pubs, shops, petrol station, Cafe's etc etc.
I booked to go back with my motorhome whilst I was there (look after the bikers you see as you never know what other pastimes they have!).

We stopped five nights; and choose this sight as it was within walking distance of Bala. The tent pitches are mostly on the flat and of an average size. Are only moans were, there's no dog only areas, and as we pitched next to a camper with two. Combine this with the noticeable road noise, a lie in was out of the question. These issues would deter me from returning.

A nice quiet campsite with good shower and toilet facilities in a great location. We really enjoyed our stay here - thanks to the very helpful owners. There is a well stocked shop on site and Bala's shops & restaurants are within walking distance. The showers and toilets were always clean and never too busy even though the site was quite full.
The weather wasn't too great - but it was N Wales - and that isn't down to the site!
We noticed a little bit of road noise at times - probably because the site is otherwise very quiet.
Our tent pitch was a little slopey - but again - this is N Wales and the location of the site adds to the character. We just had to think about how we pitched our fairly large tent.

We had the pleasure of staying at Pen Y Bont for just over a week.
The toilet blocks are fantastically clean as is the veg prep & wash up area, each hand basin in the toilets has its own light, mirror, shaver point and curtain to provide privacy all of which were in perfect working order.
There is a shop on site selling the basic food supplies as well as a local butcher delivering meat to order, the shop is also packed full of visitor information for the area and has a good supply of camping goods.
The camp-site itself is securely locked over night from around 11pm to 7am however pedestrian access remains 24 hours, this made us sleep a light better knowing the car was 100% safe at night.
The town of Bala itself is either a 2 min drive of a 10-15 min walk from the site, there are a couple of super markets and local shops providing all you food needs as well as a number of gift shops and a few Pubs offering meals.
There is a post office and a number of banks/cash points in Bala although cards art accepted on the camp site for payment so cash is not essential like in some other places.
We originally booked for 1 week but ended up staying a few extra days, If you are after a site that looks like a picture off a post card and are not in to getting drunk and shouting all night then this is the site for you.
We will be back at some point in the future.
