Powered grass tent campsite (large)
Liked: It was a fantastic site which was well featured and nicely laid out with ample-sized pitches for all users from tents to motorhomes and caravans. Reception and check in was quick and friendly from a young lady who obviously enjoyed what she does and couldn’t be more helpful. The site itself is a nice walking distance from Bala lake foreshore and the town itself, plus they have a little shop onsite, so you really do have everything you need for a nice break away in beautiful Wales, close to Snowdonia if you fancy a good hike. The showers / toilets are nice and well maintained / cleaned. The water was hot, but not scalding and there was a hairdryer in the ladies. All-in-all we can’t fault our 2-night stay.
Disliked: Nothing. Absolutely can’t fault!

Liked: This was our maiden journey in our camper van Trev. We felt like we’d hit the jackpot with this site. It was a great location with a nice walk into the town or the lake. The site itself was set on a pet location with was easy to find. Lovely clean facilities and friendly/helpful staff.

Liked: Facilities were 1st class and the site very nicely laid out. Also, the perfect distance to walk into Bala.
Disliked: We were close to the entrance and the road noise, echoing from the farm buildings opposite was a significant spoiler for us
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review Dave - we're glad you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to welcome you back to Pen Y Bont again soon (maybe request one of the pitches at the top of the site - one of the 80's - and see if you find this more peaceful). Kind Regards, Team PYB
