  • 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.

Liked Large and level grass pitch. EHU with water tap at same point.
Open site and although plenty of pitches it was quiet and pleasant.
The facilities are clean and plentiful. For the size of the site, you didn’t have to wait or queue to use anything.
The site host Elin was very helpful and available either in person or otherwise by mobile/text.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Location to Bala town and Bala Lake, great facilities, Elin was lovely and we felt welcome!

Swings were great!

Loved the alpacas!

Disliked Could have had a kids or family shower room, was hard as a single dad to get a 5 year old into the men's showers without her feeling uncomfortable.

Could have had abit more for kids on site but the swings were great!

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked Overall the site was lovely. The lady running the campsite was super helpful, friendly and approachable. She was always around site whenever we needed to ask her anything. The toilet block and showers were cleaned regularly and were in great condition. There was a lovely little farm shop on site stocked with all the essentials, including alpaca feed! The best part was the alpacas on site that you could feed! Definitely would stay here again.

Disliked Only thing would be that the WiFi wasn't fantastic but is honestly expected due to the remoteness of the site.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Great size pitch . We had a caravan on fully serviced pitch hard standing and our son and grandson could pitch opposite us in their tent. In the corner so we could see him on the park. Clean facilities. Helpful staff. Small onsite shop. Great location for Bala paddle boarding. Good WiFi and tv signal. Alpacas to feed nearby and great views.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked Nice setting, with great views, well maintained pitches. Friendly and available host/ manager. Ladies toilets clean and functional. we were given a great corner spot which was nice and quiet.

Rebekah P.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked Play area in the middle of the site visible from pitches so can watch children safely from camp. Exceptionally clean and warm showers and toilets. Site is off the main road so very quiet. Owner is so helpful and accommodating. Small shop on site for essentials, also taking meat orders to be collected from site shop later in the day, bala town a 5min drive away hosts ample pubs, take aways and small super markets. Access to river for fishing which my son absolutely loved!

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked Campsite was amazing, facilities had been kept beautifully clean. Perfect hub for exploring Wales. 5 minute drive to Bala lake and village which in itself is lovely. Incredible views from the campsite and the drive to and from. Lovely walks around the fields surrounding and down to the river. Little park in the middle of the camp was great, as my son could go play whilst we watched from the tent.

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.
