Liked: Lovely site, just 10 minutes walk from Bala centre. It's a large site that houses a mix of camper vans, motorhomes and tents. Plenty of toilet facilities but only 3 showers - there was a queue each morning - get in early. The water wasn't very hot either. We had pitch 24 it backs on to the road, it's quite a busy road and noisy but it never ruined our trip .
Disliked: Needs more showers.

From the manager: Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a comment very much appreciated and so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. When you come and visit us again please give us a ring and we can (hopefully ) allocate a pitch for you away from the road. We have large pitches at the top of our site. Unfortunatley we cannot install any more shower cubicals at the moment , in time maybe we will build a new shower block and will take all suggestions on board, as for the water, we have to be very careful on what settings we put the water as you can imagine everyone has different tolerance. we look forward to seeing you again. Kind Regards Team PYB
