Unpowered grass tent site
Liked: Very friendly people on campsite, lovely location too. Facilities were very well maintained and clean.
Disliked: Pitch wasn’t level, not the end of the world but would have been handy to have a level pitch
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review Adam, we're glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Sorry that you weren't happy with your pitch, unfortunately as you booked a non-electric pitch (of which we only have 4) there isn't a huge choice of pitches. Also, as you arrived after the office closed on Sunday evening, we were unable to assist with any changes or offer you an alternative pitch. We always aim to accommodate any changes when guests are unhappy with their pitch.
Really nice stay, close to local attractions/shops.

Liked: What a gem of a campsite, great pitches and easy walking distance to the beautiful Lake Bala. From arriving at Reception the staff are very friendly, the shower block is amazing and the separate basins etc are a great touch (if you are weird like me and can’t watch people brushing their teeth!) overall we loved it and will be back again
Disliked: I think the campsite has a chilled relaxed vibe but is lacking either a restaurant/cafe or even a pizza van or small bar onsite- it’s not a huge necessity but would be nice to stay onsite rather than walking to town for a cold pint
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you very much for your review, very much appreciated and I am so happy that you had a good time with us. Occasionally we have a pizza van on site ( all dates and details are on the website, Instagram ) and we also have a small trailer selling tea/ coffee/ cakes etc on certain dates again you would have to check. We decided very early on that a bar on site would be a bad idea as on occasions we have some customers who don't know when to stop!!! We look forward to seeing you here again in the near future. Kind Regards Team PYB
