 Just back from 2 weeks at this site. Unfortunately (due to the somewhat inclement weather we have had recently) our pitch was reminiscent of Glastonbury! Luckily the owners were very friendly and helpful and came to pack underneath our groundsheet with bark chippings (twice - the first lot sank!)
Despite this, we still had a very enjoyable stay. The showers were always immaculate with lots of lovely free hot water, and the shop was handy for basic requirements. They even helped us out late one evening when we had a punctured airbed emergency!
The drawbacks for us were:
1. No play area for the children which meant that they ran around the tents noisily with footballs, frisbees etc.
2. Because our family tent is a large one, we were placed on an EHU pitch (we don't use it), and this meant putting up with Emmerdale, Eastenders, The Bill, Coronation Street and Big Brother very loudly from the saddo's next to us!
Bala itself is a lovely little town, and the whitewater rafting centre nearby is FANTASTIC! We did find, however, that we did a lot of driving to get to places of interest because other than the lake, there did not seem to be a great deal to do
in this area for our family.
* We can recommend climbing Cadair Idris. BRILLIANT mountain with superb views, and even our children (aged 7 and 9) managed it and said they enjoyed it!

We have been using this site for long weekends for many years and we have nothing but praise for it! The owners Cate & Pete are always very helpful and friendly. The toilet/shower block is always very clean and tidy .Also the waste disposal and
water points are very near where ever you are on the site.There is a swimming pool and gym within walking distance of the site. Going again soon!

Our 2nd week of our 3 weeks in Wales. This was most disappointing and overpriced compared to the other two sites we visited. Assume it can command this price because of the nearness/popularity of the lake. It was cramped and in parts extremely hilly. I don't know how some of the people kept inside their tents! The toilets/showers were new and kept extremely clean albeit a bit short of space to manoeuvre in the showers.
The hardstanding was slate pieces but as we didn't put up our awning we don't know how difficult it was to hammer in pegs.
The local village is superb, and not "commercialised". I got one of those widely available novelty egg mashers for £2.50., which were in a Sale at home for £3.00! Lovely bakers, butchers etc.
The redeeming point was that the owners were really friendly and helpful seeing the funny side of my serious senior moment, when we arrived a day early because I'd lost track of the date!

Lovely site, stayed 8 days, although not seen in the best of weathers. Understandably drainage was as hindrance around our pitch. Owners where very accommodating & full of local knowledge . Toilet block is great. Unfortunately the laundry faculties were out of service for most of our stay. Lake & Bala town both within easy walking distance . Lots of great walks from the site if you take a dog which are very welcome and you’ll find the site is very clean.

We arrived here on 11 July 2007 for 6 nights. Besides being packed to capacity the site was not attractive in any way, rules about barking dogs were totally ignored, no play area for children so they resulted in playing ball etc between the caravans. The views were non- existing and traffic noise from the road running alongside the camp was consistent together with the noise from the factory just down the road. Yes the toilets were clean and the staff friendly, but for £18 per night we expected a lot more then a clean toilet and a smile. The town of Bala is a good 15 minutes walk from the camp. The town is nothing exceptional. There are pubs a chip shop and a mini market but little of interest. Near the camp there is a small steam train station. Its worth having a ride on this, it takes about, including stops, 90 minutes.

This was the first campsite I been to and I will definitely be going again. The toilets and showers were very clean (and the showers were free). The shop on site stocked everything you could need and if you wanted fresh meat you could order it and it would get delivered from the village.
The owners where very friendly and when I told them it was my first time they were very helpfuly and took there time explaining everything to me. The tents were nicely spaced out and the area was clean of rubbish. It is only a 10 minute walk to the village/pubs. I would also recommend the cake shop on the road to the village. There chocolate brownie is to die for.

Visited this site just for the night to do a bit of mountain biking with a friend around lake Vyrnwy. We found the staff to be friendly and helpful and the shop looked well stocked. The site itself was well drained, thankfully, as we had torrential rain the day before. We found the toilet and shower blocks to be clean with free showers and hot washing up water. The walk into Bala town took about 10-15 minutes where we found a selection of pubs to while away the evening. After a hard days biking it was easy to get a good nights sleep as the site was nice and quiet!
Definitely recommended, we will certainly visit again in the near future.

A lovely site in a great location. Very good toilet and wash-up facilities and showers good too. Shop very well stocked with pretty much anything you could need, as well as camping gear. Only negative comment would be that they are very strict with the pitches - even for tents. We like a site where you can pick your spot so you don't end up on top of your next door neighbours. Also means you can't be kept awake by surrounding snorers!
15 minute walk into Bala, so didn't even need to use the car either.

What a great site, friendly helpful owners. The facilities are great with plenty to go round so no queues and the pitches are generous. We were on one of the super pitch so didn't have to fetch and empty water - what a treat.
Dogs welcome and loads of places to take them for walks or swims (got a lab).
BBQ is no problem as you can order at the shop and have it delivered fresh and get any essentials while you are there.
I thought the area was great, you are central for Snowdonia, the North Wales coast and down to the Llyn Peninsula. Walking is fantastic but there is also riding, rafting, sailing . The list is huge.
Will be back in the autumn for a weeks visit!

Me and my son visited here for 2 nights and were made very welcome. Good sized pitches and excellent facilities which were spotless. The site slopes but most pitches have been levelled and there are plenty of hook ups available. There is a shop which caters for most things and they also take orders from a local butcher for BBQ food. Bala Lake and the Bala railway (which we never heard) is more or less right next to the site, and Bala town is within walking distance. If you go here you must visit the river rafting just outside Bala, we spent about 3.5 hours here just watching and that was in the rain. We would definitely visit here again.
