Liked: We stayed for one night at Glanllyn campsite for the first time we have ever been camping, we loved that the camp site was directly on the lake which was perfect for our kayaks, the toilet and shower blocks were a really good size and spotlessly clean, the site was incredibly well kept with a nice little shop at reception which sold all of your necessities. The lady who checked us in was really friendly and helpful pointing us in the right direction for a good breakfast in the morning.
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: This is such a great location. The views on the lake are stunning. We were there mid week so was nice and quiet and plenty of room. Might be different at the weekend/summer holidays. Staff seemed friendly. Toilets well cleaned and showers hot. Nearby town very cute with a Co-op, Spar, bakeries, ice cream, and tourist shops.
Disliked: Not sure if this was the owner or another guest, but someone left religious paraphernalia all over the women’s bathroom. Made me feel very uncomfortable. Seemed inappropriate for a family campsite. Wouldn’t stop me staying again as I think it was another guest.

From the manager: Thank you for your email. I can ensure you that no religious paraphernalia was left by me or other staff in the women's bathroom, and we saw nothing while cleaning the facilities during your stay.
