N'a pas aimé The site was very busy.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Sorry to hear you wouldn't plan on visiting us again or recommending us to friends, but we are glad that you liked the location of the site.
We are busy in the Summer holidays, we cannot apologise for that as we are proud to be so popular!

A aimé Clean and well maintained site even at full capacity.
Camp shop was well stocked and with fair prices.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Site is situated close to local town and attractions (within walking distance).
Site is a fantastic base camp to travel out to attractions situated in North Wales.

N'a pas aimé Would prefer the option of free wifi

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you so much for your very informative review! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to welcome you back again soon!

A aimé It is well kept site

N'a pas aimé This was the dearest site we have ever stayed on, it's a small footprint with lots of pitches, we booked an xl pitch but personally was the smallest pitch we have ever had, compared to other fully serviced pitches. Not much to do around the area, the lake looks nice but no seats/viewpoints/picnic spots. No large supermarkets near so be prepared to pay max prices in the town shops. Chippy was nice but card only. Our experience felt cramped along with kids zooming along on bikes everywhere, pulling wheelies as no areas for them to play in. We did leave a day early.

Réponse du gestionnaire : We always wonder why guests leave us negative feedback regarding the price of the site as you knew the price when booking, so if you felt it was too dear, why not look for somewhere else?
We are only a small site but the pitches are evenly spaced with lots of grass areas scattered in between.
We have to disagree with your comment stating that there is not much to do in the local area; we are within an hour's drive of most major attractions, we have watersports galore for the thrill-seekers and beautiful lakes, waterfalls and walks to explore. The lake has lots of benches and picnic spots - if you were to pop into Reception we could have pointed you in the direction of our favourite places to enjoy too.
The major supermarkets are a 45mins drive away but online deliveries can be organised to bring your groceries straight to your pitch. Alternatively there are 2 convenience shops in town along with local greengrocers and butchers too - it is up to guests to research where they are staying and not to mark us down as a site for things that are out of our control.
Visiting us in the Summer holidays inevitably means that there will be a high volume of kids on site as we are a very popular holiday destination for families.

Sorry to hear you won't be visiting us again or recommending us to your friends, but hopefully any future guests won't be deterred by this review.

A aimé Fabulous site
Very clean, pitches spacious, everything very modern.
Location excellent, 5 mins to the lake, 15/20 mins walk to Bala, with its shops and pubs.
Staff super friendly, would recommend and definitely return if we were visiting the area again.

N'a pas aimé Nothing to dislike

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you so much for your kind words, we look forward to welcoming you back very soon!

A aimé Pretty much everything, location, cleanliness, by the lake, walking distance to the town, close to the railway, lovely pitch and great friendly staff

N'a pas aimé Bit noisy at night with people playing music past 10 o’clock, this may seem early but when you’ve got a young baby who’s been woken up by the noise it’s not, the staff however checked this out but by 1030pm the music had stopped.
The other thing which wasn’t the best was teenagers flying around on their bicycles at full speed, I saw two infants nearly got run over being pulled back by their parents

Quiet time is from 10:30pm so I'm glad everything quietened down by then, there is always an emergency number on the front door of Reception if things carry on too late into the night, with the warden living on site, they are always on hand if needed.

A aimé We had a fantastic time, the campsite was really well run it was clean, peaceful and the staff were kind helpful and friendly.

The location was great, we had fun on the Lake Bala steam train, although there isn’t much to do at the other end we enjoyed a walk and found a lovely pub where we stayed for a fantastic Sunday Lunch. The next day we enjoyed a more relaxed day including a swim in the lake. Then on our final day drove a short distance to Zip World. There were other things we would’ve loved to do which is why we’re heading back next year.

We travelled with our two boys aged 7 and 9 and really enjoyed ourselves, it was a much needed family break. With the campsite and the local area being so dog friendly next year we’ll be bringing our bouncy cockapoo along too.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you so very much Naomi! This is our dream review - to know that you enjoyed everything that Pen Y Bont and Bala have to offer - and even better to know that you have already booked to return in 2026! 😊

A aimé A beautiful campsite with on site shop fully stocked with essentials. The shower / toilet facilities were modern and spotless ! A great area for washing up. This site is surrounded with beautiful trees and the site is kept immaculate with gorgeous planting. Very pretty. Each pitch is of ample size, with fresh water tap and electric. Town is a short walk and lake is a stones throw away.

N'a pas aimé Nothing !

A aimé Clean and tidy site, beautiful location, quiet yet close to facilities in Bala. Staff were very helpful

N'a pas aimé Our pitch was one of the few that didn’t get the evening sunshine.
As we booked late we had to pay for a full service pitch which we didn’t need. Not a cheap site.
