  • Family-owned Eryri (Snowdonia) site near the shore of Bala Lake
  • A short walk to watersports, boat hire and Bala Lake Railway
  • Within walking distance of Bala’s shops, restaurants and golf course
Got Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park in your sights? You can add a little sailing or windsurfing – and relaxation on a family-run site – into the mix when staying at Pen Y Bont Touring and Camping Park. This peaceful place is just a few hundred metres from the shore of Bala Lake (also known by its Welsh name Llyn Tegid). The fresh air of the national park is sure to aid that well-awaited relaxation… and when you’re feeling fully rejuvenated (and full of tasty food from the shops and restaurants in Bala town centre, 15 minutes’ walk away), there are activities like sailing, windsurfing and boat hire around the lake. Switch up Bala Lake’s gentle ripples for the whitewater of the Tryweryn at the National White Water Centre, 10 minutes’ drive away. Adventurous souls can zoom down the 1080-metre zipwire at Zip World Llechwedd (40 minutes’ drive) or climb Eryri's mountains. If you’d rather move at a more leisurely pace, putting a few balls as you go, head to the golf course on the other side of Bala, half an hour’s walk away from the site. Spa days and massage treatments are available about 10 minutes' walk away too.

FHU cement/asphalt campervan campsite (medium)

Liked Location; safe, easy walk to lake and town (pavements).
Underfloor heating in immaculate shower/ toilet block.
Spacious pitches, nicely landscaped site.
Friendly welcome.

Disliked A one way system marked around the site? A minor point but it wasn't clear. Also maybe being able to choose a pitch on arrival, especially when quiet.
From some of the top, raised pitches, the walk down to the shower block was a bit round the houses. Little things, not a deal breaker.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. We're really pleased you enjoyed our location, spacious pitches and facilities, and that you received a warm welcome.

Thanks also for your helpful comments. We agree the one-way system could be clearer and will look at how we can improve the signage. We understand that choosing your own pitch is always a bonus, especially when the site is quieter, so we'll certainly bear that in mind.

We're sorry the walk from some of the higher pitches to the facilities was a little longer than you'd hoped. Had you mentioned this to us at reception, we'd have been more than happy to move you to a lower pitch.

Thanks again for your feedback. We hope you had a lovely stay and would love to welcome you back again sometime!

see you again soon

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (medium)

Liked Beautiful well set out site with plenty of space between pitches which is kept immaculate by the owners who work hard to maintain the space. Facilities were absolutely spotless probably the best we have encountered. The owners were friendly and helpful. Short walk to the lake and into Bala. We loved our time there and will definitely return.

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.
