**Parc Pen Y Bryn** is a lovely rural campsite in **North Wales**, not far from the border of the stunning **Snowdonia National Park** and right next door to one of North Wales’s best kept secrets - the **Clocaenog Forest**.  Pen Y Bryn is Welsh for ‘top of the hill’, and surely Clocaenog is Welsh for ‘magical place’….and if it’s not then it should be.  This glorious conifer forest covers an area of 100km2 and is pure Welsh Narnia, with towering trees, heather moorland, winding trails, hidden forest paths, waterfalls and good tracks for family cycling or horse riding. It is also home to one of the last remaining populations of red squirrels in Wales and an important area for the rare black grouse and many birds of prey.  Also look out for otters, green finches and woodpeckers.  Wildlife enthusiast or not, it’s all quite an incredible experience.

Back to the campsite itself.  Well, there are many things to love here, not least the wonderfully welcoming owners, who make it their business to ensure all campers have a fantastic time - and guest reviews very much reflect this.  Parc Pen Y Bryn is in a **secluded and quiet location,** with beautiful views across the surrounding countryside of grassy fields and wind turbines slowly turning in the distance.  Bags of space and only a small number of pitches mean that the campsite feels very spacious, with plenty of room for everyone - families, couples, dogs and all - to roam around freely, and the **smart hardstanding pitches** make it straightforward for all manor of campervans and motorhomes to park up easily.  

If you don’t have your own accommodation then never fear, the site also has a handful of very **pretty wooden cabins**, each with a double bed and a sofa bed, TV, kitchenette (with kettle, toaster, hob, fridge, pans) and an outdoor decking area with chairs and a firepit for al fresco cooking.  The modern facilities (a swish shower and toilet block) are very well kept indeed, and a communal kitchen is available to prepare food in and wash up.  There is a small wooded area and field to exercise the dog, and dotted around the site are picnic benches to sit and admire the gorgeous views. 

Although Parc Pen Y Bryn is rural, you are in a fantastic location to explore North Wales, with **Llyn Brenig reservoir** just a short drive away offering a whole variety of water based activities such as sailing, SUP hire, kayaking and fishing, as well as mountain biking and excellent walking trails.  The pretty village of **Betws-y-Coed** is less than half an hour away and a great base for visiting Snowdonia National Park and all the many attractions and activities there.  Also close by is the charming and lively town of **Ruthin**, with centuries of history and a veritable bevy of independent shops, fantastic restaurants and a great arts scene, and the town of **Corwen**, situated in the picturesque Dee Valley and a great place to explore.  Locally, you can visit the village of Clawddnewydd which has a shop for any supplies needed, and a great community run pub - The Glan Llyn Inn - with local ales and delicious home cooked food.  There is also The Crown Inn, which is just a couple of minutes drive away and a lovely traditional pub that sits just by the River Alwen in the village of Llanfihangel Glyn Myfyr.  Back at the campsite, light the firepit and relax in tranquil surroundings.  This is a truly lovely campsite - wild at heart but comfortably modern -  and perfect for exploring this gorgeous part of Wales.

Pen y Bont Touring and Camping Park is located in the breathtaking Snowdonia National Park near Bala, North Wales.  It is a peaceful, attractive site with views of the Berwyn mountains and just 100 yards from Bala Lake, the largest natural lake in Wales.  Its enviable location makes it an awesome base for adventuring around the Snowdonia National Park and for a multitude of outdoor pursuits.

Pen y Bont consistently gets rave reviews from campers who have stayed here, and it is not difficult to see what people love about it.  Aside from the epic location, it’s a super friendly and relaxed campsite with plenty of room over the six landscaped acres for tents, motorhomes, caravans and campervans, on a variety of hard and grass pitches.  They now offer glamping in the shape of a shepherds hut and two Gypsey Romany Caravans (based on the original Gaskin caravan design, no less) and the lucky glampers also get some rather lovely exclusive extras in the new “Gelli” Glamping area: an al fresco kitchen area and a BBQ hut.  The communal facilities are excellent - a good shower and toilet block of course, but the best bit for me is the food situation.  I’m not a “Pot Noodle and run” kind of camper, I like eating well when I go on holiday, and here you can do this, with the help of daily meat deliveries (except Sundays) from the excellent local butcher.  The onsite shop provides other essentials such as bread, milk, free- range eggs and local cheese, meaning that you don’t have to stagger in with a full supermarket shop when you arrive.  Bliss.

Nearby (very - it’s a 5 minute walk) you have the lovely historic town of Bala which offers the chance to hop aboard the Bala Lake railway, a mini steam train which takes its passengers on a delightful 9 mile return journey alongside Bala Lake through Snowdonia National Park, showing off the lake and surrounding scenery including the nearby Mountain of Arenig Fawr, Aran Benllyn and Aran Fawddwy.

Train journey in the bag, it’s time to get serious about some of the outdoor pursuits on offer.  Choose whether to go low, medium or high on the extreme sports front.  There are many excellent walks and cycle routes for all abilities and this is a great way of exploring the Snowdonia National Park.  Pistyll Rhaeadr - the highest waterfall in Wales - is 20 miles away if you fancy a day trip. For watersports, head to Bala Lake and try one of the many activities on offer such as sailing, kayaking, raft building, gorge walking and windsurfing.  And if you’re feeling bullish, the National White Water Centre is just a few miles down the road, offering some serious white water fun for those who are strong of stomach.

With its natural surroundings and breathtaking scenery , Pent y Bont touring and camping park in Snowdonia National Park is a tranquil and rural holiday destination, perfect for those who are seeking a relaxing retreat...and for those who aren’t…


Pen y Bont, is a tranquil and peaceful family run touring park in Bala. We’re a short walk to Llyn Tegid (Bala lake) and Bala town istelf.
