  • 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.

What customers say

This is a clean, well-maintained campsite in a beautiful location with stunning views, just a short drive from Bala Lake. Visitors praise the spacious, level pitches and the immaculately clean toilet and shower facilities. Staff are consistently described as friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The site is family-friendly, with a play area and alpacas to feed. While some minor points were raised about shower facilities and the on-site shop hours, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.

James H.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Toilets and showers were kept immaculate never once smelt horrible.

On site shop had a good selection of emergency camping gear.

Pitch was not muddy and the field was very clean

Pitch lines were clear plenty of space to camp happy.

The lady who runs the site was ever so helpful and polite

Alpacas were a lovely sight to see everyday

Gorgeous scenery

Disliked Lighting in showers and toilets could be improved, having said that it wouldn’t stop us booking again.

Would be nice for children to have more to do in the park area swings got very crouded I went with my niece and she found the park was difficult for her as other children were always hoarding it.

Option to a rent a fire pit from the shop rather than bringing one with us :)

Ashley S.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked I stayed at the campsite with my partner, 2 children and 2 dogs. The area was lovely, only 6 minutes from Bala town and lake and 2 minutes walk from the river Dee. The campsite itself was very well maintained and had a lovely family atmosphere. Elin was lovely and helpful throughout our stay and having alpacas to feed at the top of the campsite was bonus. We will definitely be staying again and would recommend.

Disliked I can't think of anything we disliked. We enjoyed everything.

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.
