For brevity, all I need say, is read the other reviews, with which we wholeheartedly agree. Superb hosts, Andy and Lynn, who made us and all the other guests very welcome.
I have a list of sites that are my 'go to' ones, this is the latest addition to it.
I will definitely be back, and the sooner the better, towards seasons end hopefully.
It's immaculately laid out and maintained, very quiet surroundings, has some fully serviced hardstanding pitches, and access is very good.
Not too far from Pwhllheli, for shops, Aberdaron is close by, and Porthor Whistling Sands too.
I was only going to stay 5 nights, but had 11 in the end, as it was so comfortable just so 'right'.
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.

The static caravan was really lovely. Well equipped including microwave, oven, fridge, freezer, toaster and heaters in the bedroom ceilings. The lounge is large and comfortable and there are three bedrooms, two reasonably sized and one small. , nicely furnished. , . My wife Ruth and I visited with our daughter, partner and 2 year old son. The cost was very reasonable, especially as gas and electricity was included. The van had a good shower room and separate toilet and super kitchen. Thus we have given full marks for facilities. The site toilets were not open due to the current virus legislation and we had no need of them anyway.
The views are outstanding and it is very peaceful. We had our own field to play in and a picnic table by the van which was great in the wonderful sunny weather which we enjoyed. There are good walks from the site and some stunning beaches nearby, including 'Whispering Sands and' our favourite quiet beach 'Traeth Penlech'. There is an excellent local butcher and useful general store and post office in nearby Sarn about 3 miles away.
Aberdaron is about the same distance. A nice old village with a long beach, terrific bakers, delicious chippy and several pubs and shops. Pwllheli is a busy old town with restaurants, cinema and access to a five mile beach. Steam trains run to Caernarfon and the mines at Ffestiniog from Porthmadog. Caernarfon has an impressive castle, pubs, restaurants and shops and a wonderful seafront with views across the Menai Straits. Nefyn is nearer and there is a really good pub not far at Tudweilog. So plenty of choice. You will need a vehicle.
In truth, the best things about this site that make it special are being surrounded by beauty which you can enjoy on your own if you wish or find plenty of interesting places to visit. Andrew and Lynne are very helpful and friendly and the static caravan is great. We had terrific weather. We are well travelled in Europe and Asia and when it is good, the beaches in this area are the equal of anywhere.
We came here after the first lockdown, we were very nervous due to covid and having a newborn baby and a four year old. The owners are very friendly made us feel very comfortable and welcome. The caravan was pristine and cleaning products were left for you to use.
The caravan has individual controlled heating plates on the ceiling in every room along with a fire in the front room, an additional electric heater if needed, you will not get cold. The owners were always maintaining the grass and cleaning the site, we were impressed.
Amazing views from the caravan, certainly peaceful to look out, particularly at sun rise and sunset. A large grass area that my son enjoyed running around and looking at local farm animals.
Whilsting sands is very close by, which has a shop and cafe for lovely food if don't feel like taking a pack lunch. We felt like we were somewhere aboard.
Aberdaron another good place to visit that has the best bakery, ice cream shops and pub. You can walk along Aberdaron beach which is dog friendly which you can spot otters in the sea.
Also not too far of a drive was Abersoch Beach, a nice place to walk and shops to browse that sold hiking gear and water sports.
Cracking little site, been going here for couple of years now. The owners Andy and Lynn are very helpful and friendly.
There are great views of the surrounding area and it’s ideal for visiting nearby Whistling Sands, Aberdaron village, it’s also near Pwllheli and Abersoch.
Facilities on site are basic but functional toilets/shower/dish washing and chemical waste disposal point.
Water and electric hook up also available on this quiet family run site.
