What customers say
Fairly praised for its top-notch facilities and spotless amenities. Lovely lakeside spot with great staff. Peaceful and well-kept, though some note road noise and WiFi hiccups.

Overall a lovely site and I would stay again but on a different pitch.
Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (small, maximum 6 metres)
Liked Spotlessly clean, friendly and helpful staff, cracking location.
Disliked My pitch was at the entrance of the site so a lot of road noise and people coming and going. Did go quieter later at night.

From the manager: Thank you Lenny - we're glad you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to welcome you back again another time.
With regards to the electric tripping - that would have been caused by something in your van if it was tripping on the tower, not a problem on the site.
We do have Wi-F, it is just not the greatest in the world, but we are trying to improve this.
Really lovely site with clean facilities which is a major plus.
Electric grass tent pitch (large)
Liked Small family run business. No crowding, no excessive noise. Proximity of the lake. Showers are extremely clean.
Disliked Nothing. The only suggestion I may have is the addition of a small play park for the children, in my opinion this would make it more enjoyable for the kids.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, it is very much appreciated. Unfortunatley we don't have enough space for a children's play area but there are 2 very good ones in Bala itself and we are happy to point our customers in the right direction.

Perfect all round.
Little Green shepherd's hut
Liked Everything about this campsite was perfect. The size of the site wasn't too big, very full and surprisingly quiet. Toilet/shower/washing up block was clean and modern. The shepherd hut was comfortable and cosy. Friendly staff. Short walk to lake and into town. Great for exploring surrounding areas. I would definitely return at some point in the future.

The lay out of the campsite…
Electric grass tent pitch (medium)
Liked The lay out of the campsite was lovely and the staff were incredibly helpful when we needed them.
The facilities were overall clean and we liked that the large bin area was out the way.
Large pitches, with plenty of space and privacy!
Disliked No bins in the women’s toilet and shower rooms, this was in convenient when having empty packets, floss, tissues that needed to be binned after getting ready / showered.
The getting ready cubicles could’ve been cleaned more frequent, more so the sinks and surface around the sink.
We thought the price was a little steep following our stay.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, very much appreciated. We decided a few years ago not to put bins in the shower block due to customers not appreciating them and there was a constant mess which proved to be difficult to keep on top of it when we were incredibly busy, this is why we have put a big bin outside both shower blocks . Glad that you thought that the facilities were overall clean but on the other hand could have been cleaned more frequently? It is nice to see that you are happy to come and visit us again even though you think the price is a little steep. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.
Kind Regards
