  • "Location was fantastic, only a short walk to Lake Bala and the town centre."

Cons:

  • "Really Noisey campers till 3am, right next door on more than one occasion."
  • "Had one noisy family on one evening - we returned home from a long hike just after 11pm, and honestly they did not shut up til gone 1am."
  • "Downside was the six pitches mainly for campervans at the bottom of the site where boats were also stored very dark at night no lighting unlike the pitches further up the site."
