What customers say

Pen Y Bont Caravan Park is praised for its excellent, modern facilities, immaculately clean shower and toilet blocks, and friendly, helpful staff. The site boasts a beautiful location with spacious pitches, a short walk from Bala Lake and the town centre. Guests highlight the peaceful atmosphere, well-maintained grounds, and convenient on-site shop. While generally highly recommended, some reviews mention road noise on certain pitches and occasional issues with WiFi.

Sonya W.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (medium)

Liked Lovely clean site, level pitches, great location, 5 minute walk to a little secluded spot to launch the paddle boards. 20 minute walk into Bala

Disliked Not very impressed with the noise after 11pm some campers not really respecting other people may need sleep after that time. Shouting till gone midnight. But other than that good site would revisit. Would be nice to be not right next to the gate aswell road noise quite loud.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your kind words and glad that you are thinking about coming to see us again. We have a warden that is out until 11.00pm and we ask time and time again if there is noise after 11.00pm for customers to ring the number on the reception door. There is someone on call 24/7, I am afraid we can't do anything if we don't know!!

Kind Regards

Martin F.

8M fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Excellent pitches - ours was a full service hard standing version which was level and very well presented. Facilities and shower/ toilet block were well maintained and serviceable. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. The small cost optional Wi-Fi was undergoing some maintenance/improvement during our stay, so the team didn’t charge for it as a result even though it worked perfectly well for us.

Disliked Nothing.

From the manager: Thank you very much Martin, your kind words are very much appreciated and we hope to see you again soon!

Local attractions

For those days where you can’t be bothered to walk too far, it’s very handy that the station for the narrow-gauge Bala Lake Railway is just five minutes’ walk away. Views of the water are a given, but count the mountains too: Arenig Fawr, Aran Fawddwy and Aran Benllyn are visible on the route. You may have your sights set on climbing Wales’ tallest mountain, perhaps. If you’re not climbing up Snowdon (an hour's drive) yourself, you might want to take the Snowdon Mountain Railway (an hour and five minutes), which has been making its ascent for over 100 years. A less strenuous trail than the Snowdon climb is the Mawddach Trail, which runs for just under 10 miles from Dolgellau (half an hour), crossing over the gorgeous Barmouth railway bridge on the other end. Coed y Brenin Forest Park (35 minutes) has plenty of trails too, through thick forest this time. You can take them on by mountain bike, standard bicycle or on foot – and there’s bike hire at the forest park.
