  • 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.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked Campsite was lovely! Really well looked after space, pitch was flat, lovely views. Really close to Bala town so easy to nip in to in the car. There was a fair amount of other campers the weekend we stayed but we didn’t feel cramped in at all and the other camping groups were mainly families so the atmosphere was really relaxed and quiet. We took the dog with us and she had a great time too. We really appreciated all the facilities toilet & shower block was really clean all weekend and the showers were warm. Had a washing up room with 3 or 4 sinks and a washing machine was available too. The woman who ran the place (really sorry I never caught your name) did not stop! Constantly keeping the toilets clean and really helpful to other campers who were having some troubles. Had a couple of swings sets which looked to be good if you were bringing children. Would happily stay here again.

Lovely first camp. Simple site with great delights

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.
