  • Well-equipped, quiet site just outside Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park
  • A 10-minute drive to Bala and Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake)
  • Member price shown; non-members select £10/night extra
Hikers, cyclists, birdwatchers, watersports fans and those that simply love being outdoors in the fabulous landscapes of north Wales, take yourselves off to Bala Camping and Caravanning Club Site, in a peaceful location about 10 minutes' drive from Bala and Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake). Just outside Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, this site makes a great base for exploring the area's spectacular scenery, whether you're travelling on foot, on two wheels or in the car. There are plenty of activities around for both adrenaline junkies (white-water rafting, zipline and downhill mountain bike trails, for example) and those in search of gentler escapades (fishing and lakeside walks perhaps) – and of course heaps of great views to take in. This site is managed by the Camping and Caravanning Club and available to members and non-members alike, with discounted rates for members – just make sure to select the correct membership option on your booking. Kids and dogs are welcome, with a play area for the former and plenty of places to get out for a walk nearby with the latter. Facilities on site include a shop, a launderette, a chemical disposal point and wifi, along with bathrooms that have a parent-and-baby room and accessible facilities. Bala town has a couple of small supermarkets for your other food supplies, and it’s also well supplied with pubs, cafés, takeaways and restaurants.

Local attractions

Seeking a bit of adventure in your life? You’ve come to the right place. Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park is well known for its range of activities, and you’ll have good access to several of them around here. For starters, Canolfan Tryweryn, The National White Water Centre (10 minutes’ drive) has rafting and canyoning adventures, and you can ride ziplines both in the caves and high above the ground at Zip World Llechwedd (45 minutes). Coed-y-Brenin Forest Park (35 minutes), home to the UK’s first purpose-built mountain bike centre, is another good choice for daredevils. Less demanding road cycling and mountain bike routes are all around too, along with great walks – or easier times playing a round at Bala Golf Club (five minutes) or riding the Bala Lake Railway (20 minutes). Llyn Tegid/Bala Lake (10 minutes) is a great spot for a waterside walk or some time spent sailing, paddleboarding or fishing. For other easygoing days out, take a wander around Caerau Gardens (five minutes) or visit Lake Vyrnwy (half an hour) for a trail taking in both lake and waterfall views.
