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.

What customers say

Clean, well-kept site with friendly staff and great amenities, including coffee/milkshake machines. Lovely river location for scenic walks, water sports, and exploring Bala. Most enjoyed their stay, though some mentioned midges, vending machine glitches, and wished for more restrooms at busy times. Good value, many would revisit.

Liked Clean & functional toilets and showers. Coffee machine.
Quiet site, clean and tidy, not fussy.
Footpath you recommended up the valley alongside the whitewater rapids was great & so picturesque. - Sunday full English breakfast at the cafe was also highly recommended :-)
Used as our base camp before climbing Yr Wyddra (Snowdon) - see photos from 2/8/25.

Disliked Putting away a wet tent - but not your fault, it’s just Welsh weather!

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked facilities clean, lovely staff, lovely position by the river

Disliked vending machine with ice cream and bottles for the milkshake was consistently broken whenever we came to use it so we didn’t get chance to, that was a shame.

Warning to others, the entrance is rather narrow with tight bends over the bridge so for any larger vehicles/layouts it may well be inaccessible, large enough for a 7m caravan and estate car though so definitely find for most!

make sure you take some sort of levelling block as the pitches can be slightly off level, annoying if you have an ocd partner 😂

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…
