  • 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.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The site was really nice, friendly staff, pitched were really good size and nice layout.
Toilet and facilities were very clean and tidy and the hot water was very good for the showers.

On site shop was handy had essentials.

Plenty of space for the kids to run around.

Disliked: Noisy group next door, adults out late, and kids up early.
Not enough to moan to owner about plus it was that cold over night couldn’t be bothered to move and accepted no matter what rules are in place some people are just ignorant.

Only other point I’d make reference too as caught me out why setting up and a middle of the night loo walk is the random rectangle holes in the ground, look like old fence posts or hook up box holes.
2 x decent sized holes on pitch 27.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Absolutely everything! Spotless campsite in a fabulous location.
Ever present campsite owners, who even brought a chocolate treat round for the children on Easter Sunday which was a lovely touch.
I have been coming to this campsite since I was a child and it just gets better and better.
We booked our next stay here before we’d even left this time and we can’t wait to come back!

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.
