What customers say
This lakeside site is loved for its gorgeous location, great facilities, and welcoming staff. Perfect for watersports with direct lake access. Clean, spacious pitches with plenty of amenities. WiFi cost and occasional peak-time noise were minor points, but overall, a fantastic stay!

Too far to walk to the nearest pub.
Powered cement/asphalt RV campsite
Liked Great location for the lake if you have your own equipment.
Large pitches, good clean toilet facilities on site.
Disliked States that groups are not aloud and quite time after 10:30
Please dismiss this as a number of off grid vans clustered around a pitch near by our 1st location and were noisy after midnight, smoking a strange weed.

Great stay, swimming & paddle boarding in clear shallow water
Powered cement/asphalt RV campsite
Liked Loved the position of the site adjacent to the lake. Loved that we, and our friends in similar motorhome were able to park in neighbouring pitches and were able to park whichever way round suited us.
Loved how the tents and vans were mixed up on that big field, and hearing all the kids playing.
Toilet facilities excellent and clean, staff really friendly.
Disliked Not the fault of the site but worth mentioning for others with mobility issues: although we were geographically close to the shower/toilet block, there’s a short steep climb to get to them.

Nice site, good location.
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Location for watersports on Lake Bala. Friendly staff whilst booking in. Lovely clean toilet and shower blocks, with plentiful hot water. Good little shop in reception area.
Disliked The daily collection of refuse far too early in the morning (one morning at 05:45 hrs). Generally before 7am.
The general speed of traffic (cars/motorhomes/campers) moving around the site frequently well over 5mph, whilst young children around. Basic wifi is not good.
