What customers say
Pen Y Bont Caravan Park is praised for its excellent, modern facilities, immaculately clean shower and toilet blocks, and friendly, helpful staff. The site boasts a beautiful location with spacious pitches, a short walk from Bala Lake and the town centre. Guests highlight the peaceful atmosphere, well-maintained grounds, and convenient on-site shop. While generally highly recommended, some reviews mention road noise on certain pitches and occasional issues with WiFi.

Just perfect
Derw 2 bedroom safari tent (pet friendly)
Liked From the moment we arrived everyone was so helpful. We were able to get into our tent early , we stayed in Drew and to say it had everything and more than we expected . We did jot expect hot water nor a telly ( which we did not use) the campsite is very clean and the shower block is the best we have ever seen , the area so beautiful and lots to do around. Really recommend use by the butchers you can order from . We walked into the town and got the meat straight from the butchers , the town has everything you need and some lovely little coffee shops . The whole holiday was perfect and already booking for next year along with our daughter/ son in law and grandchildren . Thank you for such a wonderful stay and for a fantastic campsite see you all again soon

RECOMMEND A+
Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (XL)
Liked We have just come back to touring since 2020, This was our first family holiday back in a caravan as we have had a static for the past 5 years.
Very anxious but it was like we had never been away, Lovely site, Perfect for everything we wanted to do.
We liked the high street being a walk away, We liked the day out on the train and 1 day we drove to Barmouth which we also enjoyed.
First time holidaying in Wales and we were very surprised and already plan to come back October half term.
Showers very clean, Busy some evenings but that's to be expected.
1 night my husband left his wedding ring in the shower block and when he went back some very nice person had put a note on the door saying it would be in reception in the morning, THANK YOU to who ever did this.
Perfect pitch we could hear a stream just at the back of us very relaxing.
Can not fault this site at all.
A+
Disliked Only thing I can say is not having a park for the kids, But my 15 year old was not bothered.

From the manager: Thank you so much Lee - we're so glad you enjoyed your return to touring and that you enjoyed your stay with us so much, you plan to return in October!

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (medium)
Liked Lovely clean site, level pitches, great location, 5 minute walk to a little secluded spot to launch the paddle boards. 20 minute walk into Bala
Disliked Not very impressed with the noise after 11pm some campers not really respecting other people may need sleep after that time. Shouting till gone midnight. But other than that good site would revisit. Would be nice to be not right next to the gate aswell road noise quite loud.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your kind words and glad that you are thinking about coming to see us again. We have a warden that is out until 11.00pm and we ask time and time again if there is noise after 11.00pm for customers to ring the number on the reception door. There is someone on call 24/7, I am afraid we can't do anything if we don't know!!
