 This is a very nice site well kept and looked after. It is very good for launching boats with good access. Showers were free, all very clean.
We went during school holidays the children were happy playing running about. The only down fall is the park is too close to the road so children have to be supervised, The lady that books you in is very friendly, It has a shop which is well stocked with good variety of goods. We will bee going back some time soon.

This site is lovely. Clean facilities, showers always hot. The site is right on the lake and the surroundings are beautiful. 3 miles into Bala for the supermarket, although the on site shop is very well stocked. Nice pub nearby serving very nice food.
Playground on site, which is near the entrance, but wasn't a problem for us as our children are too young to be left.
I would definitely recommend this site, I will certainly be returning.

Just returned from a lovely sunny weekend at this great campsite. Many positives.
1. Very helpful owner helped with telephone booking.
2. Very friendly greeting on arrival to site with a quick booking in procedure.
3. Very clean site and pitches well laid out. I liked the staggered pitches which means that you are not looking directly into other peoples caravan. Although the majority of the site is on level ground lovely views can be enjoyed from all pitches. We had no problems with drainage, no soggy ground and no mud.
4. Toilets and showers always clean with ample supplies of toilet rolls and hand soap. Ample hot water in toilet blocks for washing hands and showers.
5. It can be quite windy on this site so if you plan to sit out, a wind break is useful supplement to your camping or caravanning kit.
6. We loved the access to Bala lake for sailing and canoeing etc, and used this several times to launch our canoes. You do need to pay a small daily/ weekly/ yearly fee to take a boat or canoe onto the lake and passes can be obtained from the lake warden who visits the shoreline daily.
7. TV signal can be poor at times, boosters would be useful but these are not provided on the site.
A good site for a short or long stay, I am very sure we will be visiting again.

Just returned from a 2 night bank holiday break with the family, 4th visit to this site in two years. Excellent clean facilities on every visit and never had any problems. Great spot if you are into water sports or canoeing, kids love the park and playing down by the lake only down side was the weather. Bala town only short drive away with plenty of shops and pubs also there's Bala railway which runs down along the full length of the lake which we hope to go on next time we visit.

I have visited this site nearly every year for the last 15 years. It is one of my favourites. The toilet block and showers are of a high quality. The views are stunning from the site. Bala town is friendly and offers a good range of shops and hostelries. The down sides are. The showers are closed from 11. 00am to 5. 00pm. This never used to be the case and is very inconvenient. Done to save on water heating I think. We visited over the bank holiday with my cousin and five other couples. We went for a week, we had friends visit us and they charged £5. 00 for the car. This is just a rip off and shows a bit of greed. For the cost of the site, if the owners continue to penny pinch we all may not return.

Great site, well situated on the Lake for easy access with the Kayaks etc.
Shop on site selling essentials.
Excellent park for all ages.
Lovely little river flowing alongside the Lake.
Clean facilities and plenty of them.
Large site but never too busy.
10 min drive to Bala which has everything you need and is a lovely place to visit.
Friendly staff.
Plenty of wood available to collect for fires from broken trees etc.

Great site, visited whilst touring Snowdonia on our motorcycles. Friendly helpful owners. Clean shower and toilet block with plenty of hot water.
The tent area next to the lake was quite wet so we utilised the hard standing area for the bikes and pitched adjacent to them. Enjoyable stay, great location right on Bala Lake.
The town of Bala is a short drive away with a selection of pubs restaurants and a convenience store. Will happily visit again in the future.

Brilliant site.
3 night stay in large tent with EHU, midweek stay.
Beautiful surroundings, with the lake, hills, trees in the distance.
Many (inc us) used the lake to paddle, kayak etc brilliant free entertainment for all ages.
Jet fighters roared past at low levels on several occasions which was fun to see.
We wanted to be near to family in a camper van on a hardstanding pitch, but was no problem, and meant we had plenty space. Site was approx half full
We had fantastic weather, owner and other reviewers mentioned poor drainage in wet weather, hence my Dad's small camper van having to go on a hard standing due to wet weather prior to our arrival.
We visited site several years ago as a day visitor and noted the same then. Maybe they should look into improving drainage, but obviously be expensive.
Excellent facilities, plenty clean toilets, paper and soap, and hot showers. Signs say no showers between 11am - 5pm, but daughter had hot shower mid afternoon fine, maybe because they don't guarantee hot water during day. 20p for hairdryers if needed. Dish washing sinks had double draining boards which were good, and pay to use washing machines available too.
The play area is right by the park entrance and by the main road, so our son didn't use it much, as felt just bit out of sight for him to go on his own. Took his bike to ride around site (although signs say not to) we made sure he didn't get in people's way.
Most other campers seemed to be in large groups as several tents, caravans grouped together. The 1st night was spoilt by noisy neighbours until 2am, but no fault of the site and didn't reoccur.
Small shop stocked good range of items, sweets, ice lollies and toys, and Tourist information leaflets for attractions in area. Ice packs cost £1 deposit then 20p to freeze, didn't ask if they could freeze our own ice packs, as not needed.
About 3 miles to small town of Bala, which is lovely to stroll around with pubs/places to eat.
Co-Op and Spar there too.
We visited the Whitewater Canoe Centre about 2 miles away from Bala, was fun to watch.
Would definitely return, as only hour and half away from home for us.

Just returned home after spending a week electric hookup in our tent at this wonderful campsite, we had all kinds of weather, bright hot sunshine, very heavy showers and strong winds we found the campsite to be well sheltered with good drainage. The most space we have ever had camping.
The toilet block and showers were spotless and never full so no queuing.
The views over the lake and towards the hills are lovely.
Well stocked Co-op and Spar in Bala as well as small shop on site, good Chinese takeaway in Bala excellent Indian in Dolgellau. The staff on site were very friendly and welcoming and myself and the other 3 families in our party thought it was the nicest site we have been on and will be going back.

Fantastic campsite.
This was our 3rd visit in 2 years and we plan to return again this year!
The owner was concerned about some bad reviews due to the bad weather and boggy ground. We arrived after a massive storm and found the ground where we pitched to have coped very well. Whilst we were there more rain fell and again the drainage was more than adequate. There were 2 small patches of boggy ground on the grass leading up to the toilet blocks. However, these were fenced off and caused no problems.
The site itself is set in a beautiful location. We had EHU and even set well back from the lake our views of both the lake and mount Tegid were stunning.
We had lots of fun sailing and canoeing in the lake. It is so nice to be able to launch direct from the site from the sheltered beach area.
There is lots to do in the surrounding area - Bala white water centre, slate mine etc we went to Barmouth for the day too.
Facilities are first rate - lots of clean toilets and showers. Never a queue. Seamless and friendly check-in. Small shop on site and short car trip to Bala for major restocking needs.
My one criticism is the location of the playground - right by the entrance to the campsite and a busy road.
