Friendly and relaxed riverside campsite
On the banks of the River Tryweryn in Snowdonia National Park
A short drive to Bala Lake

Right by a river in Snowdonia National Park… that sounds just pretty perfect. Gwynedd's Tyn Cornel Camping is on the banks of the River Tryweryn, right next to the National White Water Centre for those whose Welsh holiday requirements include whitewater rafting, and four miles from more watery antics at Bala Lake. Mountain biking, climbing and hiking are easy to access from here too – and as you might expect in this part of the world, this woodland-bordered site is set in spectacularly scenic surrounds… If you're not feeling overly active, have a hol here to be within reach of the attractions of the national park and into the whole of north Wales: the area is packed with castles, museums, historic houses, steam railways, handsome old villages and – most important – Michelin-starred eating out for foodies. Tyn Cornel has modern and well-kept facilities, including free hot showers, a laundry and a covered washing-up area. Dogs are welcome and there's an exercise area where they can let off steam. Barbecues are encouraged across the whole site: just use them on the blocks provided to raise them off the ground.

Liked Excellent location with river and lakes nearby. Good facilities with shower, toilets and bins provided. Nice and spacious pitches. Small shop and coffee on site. Fire pits provided with deposit.

Disliked Fresh dog poo in pitch on arrival which we had to clean up ourselves as noone was at reception after 6pm. Mens toilet and shower block was disgusting with grass and mud all over the floor and walls making it hard to believe they were cleaned that day. No temperature control on showers. Not enough showers for the amount of guests on site. For this reason i believe its slightly overpirced. Worst mosquitos than any place we have ever stayed! Get ready to be eaten alive!

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked The site is so beautiful, we came to stop 21.6.25 in our tentbox we had a motor ehu pitch..sadly due to my daughter falling ill and my camping stove not working we ended up packing up and heading home. Which was a shame.

The site has a beautiful lake which you can walk along the side off and across the bridge to like a small centre where they do serve coffee n tea.

The site has a lovely toilet/shower block and place to wash up and dispose of any rubbish.

It also has a small reception area with a small tuck shop for those needs ( they even stock Paracetamol thank you btw)
The coffee machine outside i actually didn't try as brought my own machine with me. But the icecream vending one was cute. I must insist you take coins for it as card payment can play up ( this happened to me twice)

If you are visiting i suggest a short car trip to Harlech beach you will not be disappointed 😊

We are booking to come back to stay over this time.

Disliked Only thing I struggled with was the gate opening to the walk way of the lake. It was very stiff and made a huge noise which could of disturbed those inside the huts ext that was my only worry.

Liked Nice quiet site. Good and clean facilities. Beautiful and scenic location.

Disliked When booking we had no option to book an non electric camping pitch. Camping pitch we were allocated wasn't level. We slept fine but any more of a slope.and it would be uncomfortable.

Local attractions

Tyn Cornel Camping is in prime position for exploring Snowdonia National Park, whether you're after an active holiday in north Wales or want to chill in spectacular surroundings with occasional trips out to local attractions. For active types, the National White Water Centre is metres away; the river rapids run past the site and a river access ramp is on site. If you've never tried whitewater rafting before this is the place to do it, as well as to tackle kayaking or canoeing year-round. For more action, Surf Snowdonia, Zip World and Bounce Below are all a short trip away. Walks? Pick from an easy riverside walk straight from the site, the craggy local peak of Arenig Fawr, or ascents like Snowdon or Cadair Idris within easy driving distance. For biking, some of the UK's best-rated mountain biking trails including Coed y Brenin and Penmachno are within a 30-minute drive, while for road cycling the area is filled with quiet, winding country roads, some stiff climbs and consistently fab views. Family cycling trips can be had at the Mawddach Trail, Llandegla or Llyn Brenig. The Tyn Cornel team also highly recommends castles including Harlech Castle and Criccieth Castle on the coast; the local narrow-gauge railways with spectacular views including the famed Snowdon Mountain Railway and the local Bala Lake Railway; the Italianate setting and buildings of Portmeirion village; the local ales, pub food, takeaways or fine restaurant meals in Bala; Michelin-starred fine dining at Tyddyn Llan or Llandrillo…
