Electric grass pitch

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Great location, fairly quick drive to Lake Bala. We appreciated the option to arrive later on a Friday. Facilities were clean.
The ice creams from the vending machine were really nice!
Campsite had a great relaxing atmosphere, everyone were respectful and kept the noise down at later hours.
Disliked N/A
Nice site
Electric grass pitch
Liked Friendly staff, nice clean site
Disliked When arriving on site, the directions to our pitch could have been better, when getting to our pitch the large party at the side of us were encroaching on our pitch which made it for a very tight snug stay. The policing of how people pitch could be better in my opinion.
The no noise after 11 isn't enforced so found it still quite noisy into the early hours.
Toilets and showers are clean although not enough ladies showers (in my opinion)
Over all was an ok stay but I don't think it's value for money
From the manager: Sorry to hear you were disappointed with your stay, if you were unhappy with the people next door over your pitch and had come to tell us, we would've been straight over to sort it.
In regards to noise, we walk the site at 10pm every night to ensure no one is being loud and speak to anyone who is, if there was further issues you could've called us and we would've come back out to deal with any problems.
We pride ourselves in top customer service and always being on the other end of the phone to deal with any issues to ensure everyone on site has a great stay.
Fantastic campsite, very vlean and well maintained
Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked The site is perfectly situated next to stunning countryside and river. The site is very clean, well maintained and has excellent facilities with small shop. Would highly recommend.
Excellent location, good facilities. Could be alot cleaner though.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Excellent location with river and lakes nearby. Good facilities with shower, toilets and bins provided. Nice and spacious pitches. Small shop and coffee on site. Fire pits provided with deposit.
Disliked Fresh dog poo in pitch on arrival which we had to clean up ourselves as noone was at reception after 6pm. Mens toilet and shower block was disgusting with grass and mud all over the floor and walls making it hard to believe they were cleaned that day. No temperature control on showers. Not enough showers for the amount of guests on site. For this reason i believe its slightly overpirced. Worst mosquitos than any place we have ever stayed! Get ready to be eaten alive!
From the manager: We are glad you had a nice stay and enjoyed the area. Sorry to hear about dog poo on your pitch.. reception is open until 9pm on a Friday so I'm not sure why you didn't come back to speak to us, we would've happily cleaned it up for you. The toilets and showers are cleaned daily and checked regularly, again if you felt they were unclean when you used them and had come to tell us we would've been straight there to sort out the issue.
We pride ourselves on top customer service and always being there to help when needed so always hope if any issues arise that we are told in the moment so we can resolve the issue.
Beautiful, peaceful, family friendly, stunning walking routes
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked The site is so beautiful, we came to stop 21.6.25 in our tentbox we had a motor ehu pitch..sadly due to my daughter falling ill and my camping stove not working we ended up packing up and heading home. Which was a shame.
The site has a beautiful lake which you can walk along the side off and across the bridge to like a small centre where they do serve coffee n tea.
The site has a lovely toilet/shower block and place to wash up and dispose of any rubbish.
It also has a small reception area with a small tuck shop for those needs ( they even stock Paracetamol thank you btw)
The coffee machine outside i actually didn't try as brought my own machine with me. But the icecream vending one was cute. I must insist you take coins for it as card payment can play up ( this happened to me twice)
If you are visiting i suggest a short car trip to Harlech beach you will not be disappointed 😊
We are booking to come back to stay over this time.
Disliked Only thing I struggled with was the gate opening to the walk way of the lake. It was very stiff and made a huge noise which could of disturbed those inside the huts ext that was my only worry.
Lovely campsite…
