What customers say

A lovely spot by Lake Bala, grand for watersports. Staff are dead on and the place is spotless. Pitches are decent. Families love it for the quiet, though it can be busy and noisy in peak season. Some thought the WiFi could be better and wanted more dog walking spots.

Abigail B.

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch (premium, lake view)

Liked The premium pitch, pricey but worth it. Amazing views, nice hard standing area with even an extra area for chairs etc so not sat on grass.

Disliked Had to reverse on so habitation door was on the side where the extra space was. But this ensures everyone has their privacy to the left of their pitch so I get it and wasn’t really a bother just a learning curve 🤣

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked We arrived Saturday afternoon and were greeted by a friendly member of staff who was engaging and answered all questions without issue. My site was spacious with electric hook up and drinking water very close. There is WiFi but it's very basic so didn't bother using it.

I paid £5 to take my kayak on the lake which was the main reason for the stay.

There's separate toilet and shower blocks for female and male which are very clean.

Only downside is if it's busy there's no open space for ball games

Overall it's a fantastic campsite with everything you need

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked Beautiful area. Shower block and facilities spotlessly clean. Pitch sizes great, everyone abided by the quiet times set out by the campsite. Fire pits available to hire from the reception

Disliked Would have liked to have been advised on the areas likely to flood!
We were in a tent and got flooded!

Non-electric grass campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Nice and quiet with lovely view of Lake Bala and very easy access to the lake if you want. Amenities are decent and clean and site is well set out. Owner was nice and sorted any extra requests out for me last minute.

Disliked If you want to go to Bala or to the nearby Railway its a bit out of the way but there is a bus from the site entrance, although it's a bit random with times.

Nothing to do around site

From the manager: We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.
To clarify, our Pitchup description states that guests are welcome to launch their own paddleboards and kayaks from our private shingle beach. Most visitors bring their own equipment to enjoy the lake. We don’t hire equipment ourselves, but we did advise you where paddleboards and kayaks can be hired locally.

As it is now low season, our reception is open only during the times displayed on the shop window. Any check-ins outside of these hours are managed over the phone. On this occasion, we were already on another call but phoned you back straight away once we had finished. We apologise if this caused any inconvenience.

As your stay was only for one night, we completely understand it may not have given you enough time to fully enjoy the unique beauty of Glanllyn and the surrounding area. Many of our guests find there is plenty to see and do both on-site and nearby.

Local attractions

There are plenty of ways to get a real hit of adrenaline around here – options for high-octane activities include rafting from the National White Water Centre (15 minutes’ drive), world-class mountain bike trails at Coed y Brenin Forest Park (half an hour) and ziplines or underground adventure trails at Zip World Llechwedd (45 minutes). Successfully scaling Yr Wyddfa (aka Mount Snowdon; an hour) provides a thrill too, whether you choose to make your way up one of the footpaths or ride up on the railway. Another lovely walk in the area takes you to Pistyll Rhaeadr (45 minutes), the UK's tallest single-drop waterfall. For gentler days out, take a trip on Bala Lake Railway (five minutes’ drive) or head towards the coast to visit Barmouth beach (40 minutes), pretty Italianate village Portmeirion (45 minutes) and Harlech Castle (50 minutes).
