What customers say
Pen Y Bont Caravan Park gets a thumbs up for top-notch, modern facilities, spotless ablutions, and super-friendly staff. It's in a ripper spot, close to Bala Lake and town, with spacious sites. Punters love the peace, tidy grounds, and handy shop. Mostly ace, though some mention road noise on a few spots and patchy WiFi.

Little Green shepherd's hut

The main pitches in the circle area are better.
Fully-serviced concrete slab motorhome site
Liked This is a lovely place to visit. The campsite is well maintained and near Bala lake.
Disliked Pitch 12 was too close to other motorhomes that had an awning. They took up a lot of space. We heard every noise from others. So it was not as peaceful as the last time we were here.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you Brian for taking the time to leave us a few comments and glad you had a good time despite not being as peaceful this time round. When you next visit , give us a ring and we will get you onto a larger pitch.
