Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear that aspects of your stay didn’t meet your expectations.
As you visited during the peak summer holiday period, the site was naturally much busier, with more families and teenagers enjoying their break. We do our best to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all guests.
Please note that drones are not permitted on site, as clearly stated in our terms and conditions. Had we been made aware of any drone use or disruptive behaviour during your stay, we would have acted immediately. Unfortunately, no issues were reported to us at the time, which limited our ability to address them.
We always encourage guests to speak to us during their stay so we can resolve any concerns in real time.

Positiv Great location. Really peaceful.

Negativ Wifi was very poor

Positiv Warm greeting, clean facilities
Great site for kids and for access to the lake and river. Easy cycle in to Bala.

Negativ How close the sites were to each other. Felt like we were hemmed in. Noise very late at night plus fireworks which really upset the dog. No one told us there would be fireworks. We would never have brought the dog to a site that allows fireworks as she is petrified of them. We left a day early as the poor dog was traumatized.
Poor placement of toilet roll holder they are behind the toilet on the wall which makes them totally inaccessible.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations, particularly in relation to your dog being distressed by fireworks. We completely understand how upsetting this can be, and we wish you had reached out to us at the time — we would have been happy to clarify that the fireworks were not from our park. In fact, we do not permit fireworks on site, and the brief display you heard originated from a location approximately 8 miles away across the other side of the lake.

During peak summer holidays, the park is indeed very busy, and while this can lead to a more compact feel, we do our best to manage space while accommodating as many guests as possible.

We’re glad you appreciated the cleanliness of our facilities and the lake access, and we hope, despite the issues raised, you’ll consider visiting us again.

Positiv Beautiful views
Shop on site

Negativ No fish in river to fish
Slightly over priced as there wasn't much to do unless you brought your own boat.

Positiv Absolutely loved this site. Immaculate shower and toilet block, very quiet at 10:30pm till 8am (I NEED sleep lol) lake was just beautiful we spent most of our days relaxing there with our kayak. Well kept pitches ! No noisy groups, plenty of space for the kids to play on their bikes & play football. Will be booking to go back this summer holidays for sure ! The town is a 5 minute journey in a car also !

Positiv Facilities were great
The strict quiet times were great forgetting our children to bed
Pitch size was perfect

Negativ Would be great if the playpark was in the site. Wouldn’t let the children go alone so close to the road and out of sight

Positiv We have just returned from a week at Glanllyn and if they hadn’t been fully booked over the weekend we would have stayed longer.
The pitches are a good size and the toilets and shower blocks were clean.
We loved that there is direct access to the lake and did lots of kayaking and paddle boarding. We travelled with our 13 year old wheelchair dependent son and parent in laws and we all had a fantastic time. We even got our son out and into the kayak. The site was full of families enjoying themselves with kids on bikes and having fun playing games outdoors. It’s so refreshing to see.
All in all I would not hesitate to return or recommend to families who aren’t dependent on rides, arcades and amusements.

Negativ Nothing

Positiv Lovely clean site. Plenty of space. Nice beach to access the lake. Bala an hour walk or regular bus service. Dog exercise field was great.

Negativ Cheap and thin toilet paper. Dispensers behind the loo so tricky to access as well. Maybe just me but i think decent quality loo roll is a need not a want. I think we pay enough to justify better toilet experiences as well. In short take ur own loo roll!
