Such a friendly atmosphere, with the owner and the regulars making us first timers feel very welcome, and the river next to the pitches was great for the kids. Nice to have a bar available at weekends and games room available too for the kids. It's a small, relatively informal, family-oriented campsite with only half a dozen tent pitches (all next to or close to the river), a similar number of caravans and some statics; and it's a delight as such.

I don't think the critical review on here about a visit when the owner was absent for her health is fair at all. It hasn't got an army of employees, it's a lovely little place and we definitely felt welcome and looked-after by the owner and the regulars.

Nothing major at all - we had our own camping toilet with us which was useful as the loos (2 mins uphill) at the top of the site would have been a little far in the night for our 3yo. The facilities are basic but we factored that in and they were all that was required.

On arrival I was met by Pauline, the owner of the site who greeted me with a friendly hello by name. She shown me where the toilets, washing up and bins where and where shown where to park and where to set up our tent. Pauline advised if we had any problems not to hesitate in contacting her. Everyone was really friendly on site and the children loved taking my dog for a walk. There is a stream which runs past the bottom of the site which all the children loved, catching tadpoles and newts.
The park has a pub on site which shuts around 11pm and there is a shop not so far where you can buy breakfast essentials. Bala town centre is about a 20 minute drive away. Overall my stay at Glan Ceirw caravan park was brilliant and I would highly recommend a stay at this site. I will be definitely be returning.

Oh Dear not a lot
If it wasn't for the lovely seasonal caravaners we would have been lost. I am sure it could be an ok site but need to be clearer what your booking. I know the owner was away but iit sounded like it didn't make a difference anyway

We booked here because it had a pub on site, when we arrived we were greeted by the seasonal caravaners, the owner had to go on a family emergency and left the holiday makers to plonk us somewhere, we were down the bottom near a lovely stream, apparently the pub only opens on a Friday/Saturday anyway and didn't do food, which was no good for us, we then asked about the toilet and shower facilities they were right at the top of an steep hill which I couldn't walk to, The holiday makers welcomed us and we had a good night but only down to them,
My Husband walked up to facilities the next morning to use the toilet and said the shower block and toilets were so filthy that he wouldn't even think of using the shower he would have came out dirtier is was that bad, we left that day we should have stayed for 2 nights but i couldn't use facilities and the pub was closed and didn't do meals when we booked we wanted pubs for meals etc we never got that.

Quiet tranquil perfect location for us to access snowdon, betwsy coed Llangollen.

Toilet block and showers washing up facilities a bit of a walk especially in the middle of the night, shower and toilets need cleaning no one is doing this daily, toilet rolls had gone on our second day luckily we brought our own.

The people who had annual pitches here were really helpful and friendly throughout and made us feel really welcome. Location good for snowdon (our reason for booking), around 40 min drive.

I understand now that there was an issue with hosting at this site, we arrived to no one welcoming us, no one mentioning where anything was I.e. toilets, showers or washing facilities. We were left to our own devices and it was pretty basic. No bar as advertised and no indoor area to socialise, just the 1x shower and 2x toilets each for male and female. These weren’t regularly cleaned or replenished with toilet roll but with camping we are lucky you know what to expect so we managed. Overall, good for one night stay due to the locals who were friendly and helpful.

Loved the river on the site very peaceful would definitely go back

Chose electric hook up pitch facing river. Good for relaxed tranquil time with nature.

Come prepared as local shop 15 min drive away.

Being in Wales - shame about ‘campsite’.

Cold showers. Very run down campsite. Very very restrictive parking. Would not recommend to any families or those who enjoy camping. Pitches are very unorganised and ‘pitching’ by the river after a lot of rain - not recommended but very limited levelled grass to pitch on.
