 Spent one night on this site and it was ideal, although very busy. They have a main site as well as a Camping and Caravanning Club CS. Toilets and showers were fairly basic, but always clean and had hot water.
In the village, a 10 minute walk away, is an excellent little pub, with friendly staff and great food.
Bala is a few miles away and any essentials can be found here, though, as a tourist town, it is looking rather dated. The lake itself offers a wide range of watersports and there are may walking routes in the area.

The campsite was lovely and quiet and the owner could not have been more helpful. Showers were clean and hot.
The local pub is only 10 minutes walk away and Bala town about 10 minutes drive
We would all definitely stay at this site again! Highly recommended.

A wonderful weekend in Bala! We pitched on the top field this year and was just as good as the lower field. There was a 40th party taking place on the lower field so we were advised to steer clear. Heard no noise or trouble at all.
Got the train into Bala on the Saturday for a mini pub crawl and visit to the butchers to top up on bbq meat. Due to the weather being so nice we didn't visit the local pub for good this time. Owners extremely helpful and friendly as always.
Shower blocks clean and not too busy. Another great weekend and we will definitely return next year.

Have just come back from our first camping trip and it was brilliant. The campsite was really good, no playground for the kids but that didn't matter, the kids had a fantastic time and at the ages of 6 and 2 they are hard to please, we also had the dog with us which wasn't a problem with the owners.
The owners were very nice and very helpful would really recommend this site to all.

Stayed at this wonderful campsite over the Whitsun half term and had an excellent time. The shower and toilet block was cleaned regularly throughout the day and the actual facilities were good too, including a dedicated disabled toilet and shower. There were even portable loos at the far side of the campsite for if you are caught short and they were emptied at least 3 times a day, as were the bins.
Although I didn't use it that often, the narrow gauge train station shop is a nice facility to have on hand.
The owners were very friendly and personable, always willing to chat and even offer a to your tent door delivery service for firewood.
The only thing I could wish for that this dog and campfire accommodating campsite, a rare combination, was slightly closer too the lake, but that can't be helped, and the train can get you to Bala with a view, like a mini Orient Express. The river running along the edge of the site is an excellent feature too.
Think I'll be back next year, if not sooner.

What a lovely campsite, wonderful location surrounded in every direction by beautiful views. Friendly and helpful hosts always on hand to offer advice. The toilets were clean and even though we visited on a busy bank holiday weekend they managed to cope with the numbers on the campsite. You could choose to pitch by the small river or in the larger field area. Fires were allowed and items could be purchased from the owners. Plenty to do in the area, access to Bala by bus or the narrow gauge railway at the side of the campsite was easy. All in all a highly recommended campsite.

We pitched near to the river which was beautiful and waking up with the sheep in the adjacent field was lovely! The river pitches where we pitched our tent was a little way away from the toilet block and due to the cold at night we did drive over. It is perfectly walk-able though and there are portaloos nearer but we preferred the main facilities block.
In the block there's a coin operated washing machine and dryer. We didn't use them so don't know what they're like. There's also 2 sinks for washing up and plugs (free) - very handy for hair dryer! Toilets and Showers plentiful - and clean (except a bit of mud to be expected!) Surprisingly bug-free too which is always a plus!
We went in to Bala on the steam train one day - £9 each adult return - worth every penny! Absolutely gorgeous views over the lake and great for kids and adults alike. Plenty of shops in Bala- nice cafes and reasonably priced offering beautiful home made fresh food.
The lake is beautiful for a walk (and they do plenty of other watersports and activities too.) The village of Llanuwchllyn was like a ghost town - not even a shop that we could find! We'd read great reviews of the local pub but left before ordering as it was deathly silent and we found ourselves whispering. The food is apparently great though so at a busier time it'd probably be lovely.
Camp site owners very relaxed and friendly - very nice. Fire wood cheap and fire pit needed - purchased from the owners for couple of pounds. We stayed 2 nights but you could easily stay much longer!
Idyllic site - really simple and traditional which we absolutely loved. Will be returning again soon!

Nice site kept clean and tidy, quite large and not near the lake if that's an issue, 2 portaloos down in the main camping area and adequate showers in the main block by the entrance for when it is quiet, 1 male 1 female and 1 unisex, I don't know how they would fare if its busy though.
Gripes? My only one is the fact that part of the camping ground is below an earthen ramp whilst the rest is on top, with no barriers I didn't feel comfortable with people driving along the top at night when I was below it as its unlit and there are lots of poor drivers around, it was also quite noisy.

Have just returned home from this site having spent 4 days over the 1st May Bank Holiday. You could not ask for friendlier owners - Gareth & his wife were lovely & we were made to feel like friends which was lovely.
Our girls had a blast with kites on the top field & we also enjoyed a ride on the steam railway & delicious food at The Eagle Inn. Facilities on site were always very clean & we will be returning as regulars I'm sure :o)

A1 Campsite, we are new to camping just got the bug this year. We have tried 3 different campsites around the Bala area and this one is without doubt the best.
Clean toilets, including portaloos, red hot showers (free) and best of all the location with the river and the lovely views.
Staff friendly, very helpful, always got time to chat and give you tips and hints. Price reasonable, £6 per person per night and no charge for the dog.
Fire wheels are available to hire for just £2 per visit, logs and kindling can be bought from the site,
Some very beautiful pitches are available right alongside the river, we were also treated to about 5 or 6 flypasts by the fighter planes, very impressive, and the sound of the steam train with his wooh! wooh! passing the campsite took me back to my childhood when the train used to come past my back door!
I would recommend this site to anyone and we will be sure to be returning next year.
