Electric grass campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Nice clean facilities, lovely pitch near the river and great access to the lake.
Disliked Location not ideal for anything other than watersports. There aren't any direct walking paths around the lake itself and walking anywhere outside the site is a walk alongside the busy main road.

Stunning lakeside site
Electric grass touring caravan pitch
Liked Stunning lakeside location.
Loads of toilets & showers even during busy peak season never waited for shower and always clean.
Staff very friendly especially the lovely lady who showed us to our pitch and the lady who was cleaning toilets daily- always said a very cheerful good morning 😊
Footpath into Bala - i used it as a great running route into Bala and back nice 10km great views.
Lake was simply beautiful perfect for paddleboarding- very shallow for a long time ideal for smaller kids - mine being oldee loved the floating pontoons to jump off in deeper water.
Great vibe on site - lovely to have so many younger people together enjoying the outdoors.
Separate areas for tents, motorhomes/campervans and caravans - guess some people might prefer to be mixed but i think it kept site well organised.
Easy access to permits from on site pay and display machine - £5 per day for paddleboarding/fishing or £20 for the week. Great value.
Food vans came down to ‘lakeside beach’ twice while we were there the steak can was lovely (bit pricey though)
A sold 5 🌟 from us we will definitely be back again!
Disliked Nothing at all!
