What customers say
Pen Y Bont Caravan Park earns praise for its top-notch, modern amenities, spotless restrooms, and helpful staff. Enjoy spacious sites in a beautiful setting, close to Bala Lake and downtown. Guests rave about the peaceful vibe, well-kept grounds, and convenient shop. Mostly recommended, though some note road noise on specific spots and occasional WiFi problems.

A lovely place
Powered grass tent campsite (medium)
Liked We have a wonderful 3 night stay with our 2 year old daughter. Medium pitch was perfect and in a lovely location. From the moment we arrived we couldn't fault this place. Immaculate toilet, shower, washing up area. Better than some hotels. Not over crowded and noisy like some. Lots of people just enjoying their holiday. Fire pits available to use and we even had the best ice cream can visit on our last night. Great location we visited llangolen & Bwetsy coed both a 30 minute drive
