About Pen y Bryn Camping
Tucked into a five-acre field on a working farm at the edge of Snowdonia National Park, Pen y Bryn Camping delivers proper back-to-basics charm with far-reaching views over the Berwyn range and Aran mountains. This small pop-up site is all about immersion in the landscape – think portable loos, a drinking water tap and no showers, so pack accordingly. What you lose in creature comforts you gain in space and tranquility, with pitches that feel genuinely remote yet remain just five minutes' drive from Bala's shops, pubs and the glittering expanse of Bala Lake.
Campfires and barbecues are welcomed in designated areas, making evenings under the stars a proper treat. The location puts you squarely in adventure territory – rafting, wild swimming, mountain biking and hiking are all on the doorstep, with family draws like Zip World Fforest reachable in under an hour. Note that dogs aren't allowed, and the nearest village has limited facilities, so Bala is your go-to for supplies.

What visitors say
We had a fantastic stay at this campsite/caravan park and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The area is absolutely beautiful, with stunning surroundings that make it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The site itself is exceptionally well maintained, spotless, and clearly cared for by the team. The facilities are excellent, with clean, warm showers and the added convenience of fridges and freezers available for guests. Everything was kept to a very high standard throughout our stay. One of the highlights for us was the secure dog field, which was perfect for letting our dogs off the lead to have a proper run around safely. There is also a football pitch and a great park for the children, making it ideal for families as well as dog owners. The site also puts on some fantastic activities and attractions. During our visit there was a mobile bar and a waffle cart, which added a really fun and unique touch. My little niece also loved having face gems and hair braids done by two lovely girls on site. It's definitely worth checking their Facebook page before your visit to see what events and activities they have planned. Overall, this is a wonderful campsite with beautiful surroundings, fantastic facilities, and plenty to keep both adults and children entertained. We would highly recommend it and will definitely be returning in the future.

Absolutely fantastic caravan park! We had such a wonderful stay and couldn’t have been more impressed with the facilities and atmosphere. The shower block was spotless, modern, and exceptionally well maintained – probably one of the best we’ve experienced. The playing field was a huge hit, providing plenty of space for children to play safely. A lovely added bonus was the mobile bar being open on a couple of evenings. The whole site is beautifully kept, and it’s clear that a lot of care and attention goes into making guests feel welcome. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a relaxing, family-friendly holiday in a beautiful setting on Anglesey.

What a stay!!! This site is absolutely incredible! We are a family of 4 (plus a pooch) and stayed in our campervan. The site has a dog park, a children’s park, animals to see/meet, the cleanest facilities we’ve seen and massive (hot) showers that were a joy to use. The site is owned and run by a warm, welcoming family and we have 2 very sad children leaving their children behind. See you soon Penbryn, it’s been a pleasure!

We had the best Bank holiday weekend. The bar and waffle stand was a lovely touch. The children absolutely loved this site. They loved the freedom they could have on site to play with their friends and other children on site. It was very safe for them to do so and they had so much fun. The treasure hunt put on was also a lovely touch and the children loved this. Pitches were a really good size. Toilet and shower facilities were 10/10, they were always clean and tidy. The owners were brilliant, really welcoming and approachable. We will absolutely return and would recommend to families and groups of people travelling together wanting to relax or explore Anglesey.
