Great stay in a beautiful geodome! Had been wanting to do this for a long time and it didn't disappoint! We had a few issues to begin with, like not enough mugs, the gas canister was empty and hot plate for BBQ was rusted. However, these issues were dealt with quickly and professionally by the lovely staff who run the campsite. Toilet and shower facilities were very clean and even a shop on site incase you have forgotten anything! Lovely log burner that keeps the dome nice and warm on an evening. Great location for stargazing and away from the rest of the campsite, so has privacy also! Trundle bed was incredibly comfy too!

Stay at the park was brilliant. It's a great base for the National Park and surrounding area. Plenty of water sports activities within the surrounding area. Park had all amenities required, well run and quiet after 22:00.
Great stay and good pitch too

We booked here for 3 nights but only stayed 2, that was only due to weather forecast. It's a relaxing site and nice for a short stay. The facilities very limited and could have been cleaner. The shop on site was also extremely limited. As there was nowhere in walking distance, we thought a better stocked shop would be handy. We stayed on the touring part for a higher amp electric point, which was very helpful. However, you can hear the traffic a lot from there. Great location for driving to other towns but just not a site I'd return to .
Great...but for the midges

We were on electric pitch 1 and the only tent among lots of caravans and motorhomes. All the other tents were the other side of the site. For that reason, it was really quiet which we loved. Plus the weather wasn't great so everyone just stayed inside. Great for getting little ones to sleep, but no facilities at all for kids - not that ours need any. Showers nice and strong and toilets were clean. Only glitch was that on day 4 we asked for soap dispenser in men's toilet block that had been empty on day 1 to be filled. It was filled straight away though. However, I'm not sure we'd return because the midges were ferocious. We're covered in bites. The site lies alongside a river which is lovely, but the clouds of midges were no fun at all sadly. Must make sure to pack insect repellent next time!

We stayed as a family with 2 children age 8 and 15. The location was perfect, great scenic routes and loads of places to drive and take in the views. Just a short walk from the campsite along the river you get to a beautiful cafe and the white water rafting centre, the boys absolutely loved this and enjoyed the activities they had. Clean toilets and showers. Honestly can't fault this place. On a Friday and Sunday evening, they have freshly made pizzas, and just outside reception, they have a coffee and ice cream vending machine (card payment). Quiet campsite with loads to do.
Stunning location!

I haven't been camping since I was very small so I was reluctant, but staying here was fantastic. The location is beautiful right by the water and fields and the site staff are incredibly helpful and are always around when you need them. The site has a large choice of areas to pitch in the non-electric field as well as benches, small pergolas and fire pits to be used for free, wood can also be bought on-site. The toilet and shower facilities are basic but clean and well maintained, they also offer a laundry room and washing up space for pots and pans as well as free Wi-Fi. Really couldn't recommend it enough, even if you don't get the sun you're not far from things to do like Snowdonia National Park, Zip World, Bala, White Water Centre and I'm sure much more! Thanks so much!

Right next to a rushing river and a white water centre. However just 3 miles away is more sedate lake with kayaking, paddle-boarding and swimming. Something to suit everyone. Really friendly helpful staff and clean facilities. Just make sure to grab your fire pit quickly as they go the minute they are handed back in!

Idyllic location and great facilities. We arrived late and only stayed one night, but the shower facilities, kitchen and laundry room were all spotless and in great working order. Electrical hookup and hardstanding plot pitch were easily accessible and our host was very friendly. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Great camping site with clean facilities. It got a bit busier on Friday, but overall, our stay was enjoyable. Not many walking paths near by.
Nice spot - not always great if a light sleeper

Bala is a lovely place and the site is in a good location near to a water sports centre and walk trails you could pick up along the river. Staff member was lovely on arrival. We stayed on a hard standing pitch next to the river. Although the surroundings are lovely, if you are a light sleeper the river could keep you awake. It flows fast and is noisy. The facilities are kept clean. The site isn't very big. The main reception block was where we used the toilets, showers pot wash etc. Women's had 5 toilets, 3 showers, 3 sinks. There are also 3 pot wash sinks. Couldn't see a motorhome service point to drive over for grey waste, but might have missed it. We stayed for 1 night as the site we had stayed on the 2 previous nights was full. Although nothing was wrong with the site, we wouldn't stay again due to the noise and nothing much on-site to do. With the price not being much cheaper than some others near to the lake also. This is just personal preference though.
Very nice campsite

Very nice campsite, good location and nice people running the campsite. Only downside was there was never any hot water in the camping field facilities and had to walk a little further to the main facilities.

Beautiful clean site, located on a river with lots of space, great value for money. Perfect location as a base to explore North Wales. We came with our 2 year old son and felt that the site was very safe for little ones, perfect family memories created.

Not a bad site if you want to be close to the white water sports centre! One toilet block had hot water the other toilet block was dirty and had no hot water. Not the best entrance to the site and I think you would struggle with a large car and caravan. Small pitch with nothing to show your pitch markings. There was some fly tipping on the dog walk. Could do with more fire pits!

Very good campsite, beautiful location within a reasonable distance to surrounding shops and a water activity centre within walking distance. Provides the perfect place for families, friends, and adventure seekers. The tent areas are flat and spacious and the shower and toilet blocks are clean and warm. Unfortunately, there are limited fire pits, meaning a lot of people go without, so it is advised that you queue early to claim one. They no longer make their home made pizzas and instead have a small, limited shop, however you are able to order home made pizzas at the activity centre. Overall, it is a lovely campsite with lots of different trails to follow, surrounded by a beautiful scenery and nearby farm animals.
Nice quiet site with amenities close to pitches

Nice quiet site with local walks. Additional washing up area with two toilets, in addition to the main block which is handy, as we went with young children and were pitched very close to the additional block. Toilets/shower blocks checked between 11-1 and would benefit being checked twice daily as towards tea time, the toilet/shower blocked appeared very used and not as clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. No play area on site so best taking outdoor toys/equipment such as footballs, frisbee.

Loved the stay, however felt uncomfortable walking around at night, even with a torch, as there is no lighting, especially being a woman. Fantastic area, pods are lovely - would highly recommend.
