  • 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.

Matt J. 5 reviews

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Such a clean, tidy, and peaceful site with a warm welcome.
Clean and modern showers and toilets. Showers particularly good.
Large grass pitches with electric hook up if desired.
Lovely onsite fishing available on the River Dee.
Shop with some camping essentials.
Undergoing a pretty big expansion at the moment which is almost ready to go for the summer season, hoping it will include a bigger and better play area for the kids as I’d like to return with them and a play area is essential according to them…

Disliked I know this is being ultra picky but could do with a shelf in the showers to put wash stuff. Other than that, perfect.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Exceptionally clean toilets and showers!!! So sooo happy with these and the provision was great.

Very friendly campsite. Clear rules. Great big pitch. Quiet rules observed by fellow campers. Just magic. And a gorgeous sunset walk up over the mound/hill to the left of the drive in.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Lady on the counter extremely helpful and friendly

Pitch size was excellent with hookup and water, toilet facilities,showers, cleaning etc all excellent. We had WiFi,but didn't use it as it was our first camping holiday with our kids

Grass all well kept, there wasn't a park as it is being redone which is good for next time. Still had a play field to go on, also alpacas to visit

5 minutes drive to the lake

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.
