What customers say
Pen Y Bont is a beautifully kept, super clean campsite with modern, spotless facilities (heated floors in showers!). Staff are friendly and helpful. It's in a prime spot, close to Bala Lake and town. Spacious pitches and a peaceful vibe make it highly recommended. Minor road noise on some pitches and occasional Wi-Fi glitches were noted, but overall, guests loved it.

I am surprised at your comments about the wifi as it has just been upgraded with a brand new wifi code for the site.

Electric grass tent pitch (large)
Liked We had a lovely stay, the place was clean and tidy with big shower cubicles and a big washing up are. The only small negative would be maybe the shop could have a bit more variety.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Mark - we're really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us but do have to disagree slightly with your comment regarding variety in the shop. We think we have a good choice of essential items and treats, we are not a supermarket (Co-Op and Spar are only a 15min walk or 5min drive for anything we do not stock).
This is a very lovely site,…

Now my new favourite site
Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (large)
Liked Really like the site. The welcome was good without being too long. very clean including the showers and toilets. My wife used the showers which she does not normally do and was impressed especially with the underfloor heating. I am a sailor at Bala sailing club, so the location was ideal.
Disliked No dislikes. We had a itch near the raod which can be a little noisy which is not a fault of the campsite
