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.
