About the site
Tyn Cornel Camping is situated on the banks of the River Tryweryn within the Snowdonia National Park, a short distance from the market town of Bala. The campsite is bordered by woodland and a spectacular white water river, surrounded by dramatic Welsh scenery. It's perfect for outdoor activity enthusiasts or those who just want a relaxing base for exploring local attractions. The touring field has 16 amp electrical hook-ups and a mix of pitches suitable for caravans, motorhomes, campervans or tents. All pitches are on level ground close to the river, with a mix of hardstanding or grass. The traditional grass camping field, without designated pitches, has covered picnic tables and free-to-hire fire pits so you can have that all important campfire for toasting your marshmallows! This field is flat - and close to the river, perfect for tents and smaller campervans. Glamping options in the form of heated Riverside Pods or a cosy furnished geodome for families, friends or couples. BBQs are encouraged across the whole site, and blocks are provided to raise them off the ground. Pets are welcome too, with a dog walk on site.

Good location for Bala and Betws, nice clean toilet and shower block. Tiny shop with a few basic essentials. Was too close to the road though, so cars and motorbikes whooshing past until late then from early.
Nice site

Really convenient site for rafting and a nice site layout. We got there at 1pm and were not allowed to set up, even though the space was available. Showers were ok but not keen on shower curtains and water was not that hot, but overall a good site for our trip.
Site's response
Apologies nobody was available to check you in at 1pm, we close for lunch between 1 and 2. Thank you for the feedback on the showers, we will look at this. Glad you had a nice stay otherwise. Thank you!
Lovely weekend
