About the site
Glanllyn Lakeside Caravan and Camping Park is a well-established 16-acre park by Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake) south of the Snowdonia National Park. The site's lakeside location enjoys fantastic views of the Aran and Arenig mountains and has a 4-star Wales Tourist Board Award. Boasting an idyllic lakeside location on Wales's largest natural lake, enjoy the site's own private shingle beach. Make use of the easy launching area for windsurfing, sailing, kayaking, fishing and paddle boarding and even wild swimming. There are over 150 pitches for tents, campervans, caravans, motorhomes and roof top tents, each spread across the spacious site to ensure a peaceful stay for all - some even right by the river and lake! If you're looking to bring a roof tent, please book it under campervan pitch category. Grass pitches are suitable for tents, small campervans, roof top tents and caravans, with the option of electric hook up. Hardstanding pitches are also available for caravans, larger campervans and motorhomes each with 16 amp electric too. Two well behaved dogs are more than welcome and there is even a small enclosed dog exercise field for them to stretch their paws. You can hire metal fire pits from the site which are a great addition to any camping holiday. You are welcome to bring your own but do ensure all fires are raised off the ground.

Went to Glanllyn Lakeside Camping Park with hubby. We stayed from the 4th of October and came home on 8th October. It was such a beautiful and peaceful place. We stayed near the lake, watching the mist on the hills and the ducks doing their daily trundle up to the grassy areas and the trees, we watched the squirrels torpedoing around like little bullets. The young lady in the reception was a delight and was so helpful when we arrived. I would recommend this place without hesitation and we will definitely return in the future. The toilets and showers are clean and warm and the sink areas for dishes are spotless. Please visit if you haven't already, you won't be disappointed.
Absolutely loved this campsite

Very friendly welcome from reception. Lovely clean site. Great access to the lake we had so much fun on there. Not far from Barmouth, the Mach Loop and surrounding areas of interest. Will definitely stay there again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The site was immaculate and the facilities, such as toilets and showers were modern and always clean. The views onto and over the lake were stunning. Considering how wet it had been, the site was surprisingly dry but there was some standing water. We were given the option to track down a dry pitch rather than just being allocated one. We would definitely book there again if looking for site in that area.
