  • 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; good stargazing area
On the eastern fringes of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia), Ty Tandderwen Caravan Park is a family-run site where there’s nothing but grazing land and wooded hills all around, plus mountains in the distance. 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, 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.

 Gill P. 2 reviews

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked Location is gorgeous, surrounded by hills and short walk to the Dee. Large tent pitches. Toilets and showers really clean and tidy. Could do with a stool or something in the shower cubicle, would make life a bit easier getting dressed,
Small shop open 2 hours a day, selling basics.
There is another field, but would be a bit of a trek to the toilets .
WiFi is excellent.

Disliked Children riding e-bikes around , playing football until 10.00 at night. Children were not supervised a lot of the time. Lots of dogs, who were really noisy at times.
Some people did not observe the 10.30 - 8.30 curfew.

Liked We had a lovely stay here camping, Elin the owner was so lovely and helpful made us feel very welcome. Absolutely loved the alpacas on site and views were beautiful, facilities were always clean and location is perfect only a ten minute drive to Bala lake/high street.

Disliked It’s dog friendly however the rule is dogs on leads at all times which not everyone seems to follow.

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.
