Family-owned 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 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 Snowdonia 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), climb Snowdonia’s mountains or catch a few swells at the surf lagoon at Adventure Parc Snowdonia (50 minutes). If you’d rather move at a more leisurely pace, putting a few holes as you go, there’s a 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.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite (medium)

Liked: Lovely site, just 10 minutes walk from Bala centre. It's a large site that houses a mix of camper vans, motorhomes and tents. Plenty of toilet facilities but only 3 showers - there was a queue each morning - get in early. The water wasn't very hot either. We had pitch 24 it backs on to the road, it's quite a busy road and noisy but it never ruined our trip .

Disliked: Needs more showers.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a comment very much appreciated and so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. When you come and visit us again please give us a ring and we can (hopefully ) allocate a pitch for you away from the road. We have large pitches at the top of our site. Unfortunatley we cannot install any more shower cubicals at the moment , in time maybe we will build a new shower block and will take all suggestions on board, as for the water, we have to be very careful on what settings we put the water as you can imagine everyone has different tolerance. we look forward to seeing you again. Kind Regards Team PYB

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.
