  • Spacious pitches at a family-owned site a 10-minute drive from Bala
  • Bala Lake five minutes’ drive; National White Water Centre 15 minutes
  • Fishing in the River Dee; playground; good stargazing
On the eastern fringes of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia), Ty Tandderwen Caravan Park is a family-run site with spacious (and well-spaced) grass and hardstanding pitches. There’s nothing but grazing land and wooded hills all around, plus mountains in the distance; and the only sounds are birdsong and the gentle rippling of the River Dee, which runs just a couple of fields away. By the way, remember to pack your rod, for both fly-fishing and angling are allowed here. Dogs are welcome too, and they might wag their tails in delight when you take them to Bala Lake (Llyn Tegid; five minutes’ drive), where they might join you on a swim or on your paddleboard exploration of the shore, or walk by your side as you stroll along forested trails, making regular stops to take in views of the water. Other hikes might lead you to the forest at Aberhirnant (10 minutes), Rhiwagor Waterfall (half an hour), or to viewpoints like Moel y Garnedd (15 minutes) and Cwm Cynfal (half an hour). Back on site, while the children burn what energy they have left in the play area, you can fire up the barbecue, having sourced your provisions in Bala town (10 minutes), where there are also several restaurants. Wherever you eat (on site or in town), set aside a good hour or so before bed for a spot of stargazing – Eryri is an International Dark Sky Reserve, and you should be in for a starry treat on a clear night.

Fionnuala B.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Nice location, good views, very handy for Bala. Clean and tidy site. Quite and peaceful. Very cute and friendly alpacas.

Owner placed our pitch next to our friends which was nice.

Disliked We traveled with several young kids and picked this site because it had a park listed but once we got there we discovered the swings had been taken down/chained up. Very depressing for the kids. Half the camping area had been ripped up and reseeded which looked grim and made very little space for the kids to play (especially with the loss of he swings).

Showers were clean but no benches, places to put your stuff so very awkward with young children. Also only 3 showers each for men/women which wasn't enough for the size of the site.

Overall a nice site for adults spending the day on the lake but we wouldn't come back with kids.

Local attractions

The National White Water Centre (15 minutes’ drive) is the place for high-octane aquatic adventures on the River Tryweryn – from guided rafting excursions and canyoning, to extreme independent sessions (for experienced rafters only). The industrial heritage of North Wales comes alive at Zip World Llechwedd (40 minutes) with guided tours of the former mines, where you can also have a subterranean round of miniature golf. If you’re after the sweet kick of adrenaline, there are also thrilling rides like the Titan zipline, which will have you flying above the area’s distinctive slate landscape. It’s a much gentler vibe at Betws-y-Coed (45 minutes), a pretty village stretching between the rivers Conwy and Llugwy, with pretty woodland walks (including the family-friendly Tan Dinas Path) leading to stone bridges and waterfalls like Rhaeadr Ewynnol / Swallow Falls.
