Family friendly, loved the atmosphere and facilities

Angelara, Sofia - 11/05/2024

We really liked the overall site. The highlight of our stay was the wood fire pizza van that was parked on site and we really enjoyed our pizza the first night. The lake is actually on site and I was lovely seeing the kids playing with the water and the view was amazing. The toilets and showers very clean and tidy. Next time we’ll try to book our caravan closer to the lake as this time we left it quite late and we were nearer the edge of the camping site and we could hear the noise of the cars driving through the motorway. Lots of kids and dogs which is fine. The shop offered the option to hire a fire pit with logs and sold many convenience stuff. Just or closed at 16:00 which is a bit early if you want something urgently. The nearest town Bala is literally around the corner including the heritage steam railway which was such an experience. We’ll definitely come back soon and if weather permits we’ll do some water sports activities.

Wonderful sailing break

Cope, Stephen - 11/05/2024

I’ve been coming to Glanllyn for 40 years. The site has been Pugh family ownership all that time and in the last 2 decades I have organised many trips for our very well behaved sailing group. The welcome has always been warm and it is a delight to see management of the site transfer to the next generation. In the 40 years I have been coming here, a massive amount of investment has taken place, improving the facilities to the best you will find anywhere. I’m already looking forward to the next visit.

Bank holiday

Griffiths, Jennifer - 11/05/2024

5

Have been several times over the years. This time we decided to choose a grass pitch. We wouldn’t rebook this tie of pitch. Too close together; no set pitches as such. Wasn’t as an enjoyable as experience as the hardstanding we usually book. However still a great time away. We look forward to returning soon

Fun stuff, good time.!

Janiczek, Lukas - 10/05/2024

Hi!We had really good time at the Glanllyn park.Nice grass pitch not a single rock or stone near the caravan letting us relax and enjoy the sun. Very clean, well equipped and maintained facilities with hot water. Wi-fi Internet, night lighting and rules for dogs on a leads and quiet time after 10:30pm gives you peace of mind. All water sports possible and fishing give you something to do at the lake Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend

If your not sporty, don't go.

Couldn't fault the cleanliness of the site and facilities.However, my grandchildren were not impressed, not much to do,Also not to make noise after 10: 30, quiet time, that's fine, but to be knocking on the door and to be told like a child that it's quiet time, it's a bit much.Too far to travel, and not enjoy your holiday, sorry but not for me I
