Pen Y Bont Touring and Camping Park

Liked The site was spotlessly clean and the shower facilities were excellent, stocked with shampoo and conditioner and we never had to queue. There is a small, reasonably priced shop and fire pits to borrow for free. The site is a support walk to Bala lake and other hikes.

Disliked Nothing to do with the site itself but unfortunately we had very noisy neighbours who blasted music until 2am, openly smoked drugs and then put the music back on full blast every day at 7am meaning we had to leave a night early as we were too exhausted to enjoy the rest of the trip. There were others unhappy too, maybe there should be ways of reporting anti-social behaviour on site thought we didn’t enquire about this.

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review, very much appreciated and glad that you had a good time. The WIFI is actually free as we are currently upgrading the system so not sure where you paid for this?? We also have good tv reception as the site is in the middle of the main mast and satellite dish, when you visit again please come and ask at reception for the right way to point your Ariel!

Kind regards

Liked Site was in a great location for walking to town and to the lake. Site was clean and pitch sizes were brilliant. People need to keep their dogs on leads at all times as near miss with another dog that was off lead. (Not sites fault as they stipulate this on booking).

Disliked Bit on expensive side for pitch than what we normally pay but worth going for views on the lake.

From the manager: Thank you Lindsay 😊 we're so glad you enjoyed your time with us and hope to see you again!

Liked Before arriving I was a little anxious about the proximity of the camp to the lake but it was only a 10min walk with the kajak. The site was lovely with modern shower and toilet facilities. Only had to queue for one of the 3 showers once. No drama

Our medium pitch, 15 was perfect for the van/awning combo and was reasonably level and in a nice secluded part of the camp.

Prefer this site given its proximity to the shops and cafes of Bala. All within a 20min walk.

Disliked The pitch was lovely but shaded from the evening sun. Felt a little overlooked by the RVs opposite but that would not stop me asking for pitch 15 on a return visit.

it made me giggle a little that the washing up sinks are built on slope meaning two are nearly at chest height but the other two are normal height.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and glad that you enjoyed your pitch and our shower facilities. We are a busy site and sometimes everybody decides to have a shower at the same time which will cause a queue! The sinks are created for all heights, just pick your side!!

Liked Friendly welcoming staff, amazing fully kitted out isabella tent complete with fluffy towels each, complimentary tea, coffee and sugar. The pillows were amazing and the beds very comfortable. The toilet/shower facilties are 5 star, underfloor heating and private cubicles all spotlessly clean. We had a camp fire every night with toasting marshmallows. Lots of lovely memories made.

Disliked If I have to leave one negative, and its not really an issue, then i would say the WiFi is really poor, however, I do believe it is in the process of being upgraded.

Liked The toilet is clean and the staff are very friendly staff.

Disliked Too crowded, and the campsite area is not too big

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Unfortunately there is very little we can do about the size of the site and yes, we are very busy during the Summer season but we're glad you found the facilities to be clean and the staff friendly.

Liked Brilliant small site with fantastic facilities. The pitches are really pretty with planting and mature trees and the layout of the site meant that the views were great. Pitches were well spaced with good close parking next to your tent. Really easy to walk into Bala which also had great views of the lake. Very impressed.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your kind words and so glad that you appreciated our location, we are very proud of our site. We look forward to welcoming you back here the future.

Liked Standard toilets and shower facilities were amazing for wife and grandson. Washing up facilities were great and site peaceful. Staff super friendly and shop.in site. Pitches were huge and everything very clean. Local town within walking distance with pubs and shops. Also nearby railway station and Bala lake provides loads of rural walks. Really great site and would recommend. Used our own WiFi no.problem.

Disliked Only complaint would be from a disabled point of view. One improvement that could be made is to the disabled toilets. Shower and toilet facing window. Although frosted people can still peer through. Needs a shower curtain for privacy from carer and more privacy over the door. Access however was fantastic.

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review and so glad that you had a good time with us. We will definitely take up your thoughts on improvements to the disabled toilet but just to let you know, there is no access to the public where the frosted window is but we will look at extra privacy over the door. We look forward to hopefully see you back here in the near future.

Liked Excellent facilities and location. Staff extremely helpful and friendly. Lovely views and the washrooms cleaner and posher than a lot of hotels I have stayed in.

Disliked Wasps (although that wasn't their fault)
WiFi was in the process of being upgraded but not a massive issue with good phone signal.

From the manager: Thank you Matthew, we're so glad you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to see you again soon!

Sorry about the wasps - they do seem to be especially prevalent this year - we do have lots of citronella products for sale in the shop to try and keep them at bay!
