Tyn Cornel Camping Reviews

Wow

When we first arrived after leaving a big campsite, l wondered about the size, when you first drive in you don’t notice everything there at once. So we parked up and it’s right by the river which is great, we booked here after we thought there was a place we could let the dog run. There isn’t one so dogs must remain in the lead. Once we got to see that there were places for tents on another field… more seasonal caravans in an area/field behind ours. Highlights- there is a lovely walk out of the campsite along the river to a cafe where kayak training was taking place and going off site into Bala town to a cafe there was great then we found other areas where a Triathlon was happening and further down a few more campsites on our way to the Llanuwchllyn mini railway to take a ride which goes along the lake. After a rainy week there we were still able to rally enjoy the whole area. They also have pods

Hi Susan Many thanks for the lovely review, we're glad you found places to let the dog off the lead and places to visit. We hope to see you again in 2027

Tyne Cornel family stay

The only real negative is the showers in the men's. My teenage son didnt want to have a shower due to there being no door for privacy just a thin shower curtain. Wouldn't cost much to replace with doors. Campsite immaculate, staff where a friendly and attentive. Location very beautiful by the river. The milkshake /milkmachine was a big hit! We would stay again 😊

Hi Katie, Thank you for taking the time to write us a review, we're sad to hear that your son didn't feel happy with showring, if we had known, he could have used the accessible shower. Thank you for your kind words regarding the team and the facilities, it is very much appreciated. We hop you will return in 2027.

Excellent site.

Just enjoyed a couple of nights here. Ideal location for walks with plenty to see around the site.

Great family site

Great stay in August, we came with our two young children the site was well looked after - bind were emptied continuously throughout the day and they also cleaned the facilities everyday. There is a main block of showers toilets and wash up area with laundry room. Additional wash up area and toilets is another block of facilities on the tent pitches. The main block facilities were dated however fantastically clean. There is a picturesque river which runs by the campsite, we saw multiple parties using their kayaks - which looked like fun. Would recommend to all lovely staff, they had little Italy pizza truck come one night which was a huge hit with our two!

Excellent Site in Fantastic location

Extremely well-looked after site with excellent amenities, friendly staff, beautiful surroundings and location, great communication before and during our stay and wouldn't hesitate to return.

Excellent stay

Just got home from a wonderful stay here. The staff, onsite shop, location and facilities are lovely we will definitely be coming back to stay. I would just say the disabled toilet/ shower room needs a bit of tlc. If wasn't for that would have been a 5star. We all had such a great time drove a few mins into Bala and went swimming in the lake lots of memories made these last few days. Thanks for having us 🙏

Great stay at this campsite

Had a lovely 5 day stay, our location to the amenities on site was great, level pitches and made for easy tent put up. Some nice walks for the dog, everything was good, although on first night there was an issue with the heating and the shower was barely warm, but red hot thereafter. The camp shop is limited and the milk machine was waiting to be filled so was unable to get milk that day over the weekend, but would recommend this site, lovely owners/staff.

It's a yes from me.

The owners were lovely. The campsite was quiet, even when busy. The facilities were kept pristine and the showers were nice and warm. The campsite was not illuminated at night so the night sky was pretty impressive. Proper milk was available from a refrigerated dispenser. There was plenty of space for each tent pitch even when the campsite was busier at the weekends. I thoroughly recommend this campsite.

Hi Peter Many Thanks for your lovely review, it is very much appreciated. It was especially lovely to read you enjoyed the milk vending machine ... We hope to see you in 2027. The Tyn Cornel Management Team

Great site

Great site. Only downside was no hot water in one wash up area and the number of people insisting on having fire pits, despite government advice and all signs asking you not to due to drought conditions.

Lovely site

This is a lovely site, less than 10 minutes from Lake Bala. The wardens were very friendly and pleasant and the site is kept very clean. My only criticism concerns the freezer which, despite it being mentioned for freezer blocks on the website, was absolutely crammed full of frozen food! I've never come across this on a site before. Who on earth takes packets of frozen food (including peas) on a camping trip? I don't use electric hook up so always rely on being able to refreeze my blocks in site freezers. This was impossible to do on this site.

Site's response

Hi Sandra Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you loved the site, our team, and the location. You raise a very fair point about the freezer, we were just as surprised as you to see it packed out with frozen groceries! It is indeed meant for freezer blocks so that guests off-grid can keep their coolers cold. We will make sure our team keep a closer eye on this moving forward so our non-EHU campers don't get left out in the cold. We hope to see you back near the lake again soon The Tyn Cornel Management Team

Would stay again!

Fabulous stay at Tyn Cornel, the site was brilliant in a great location right on the river with a lovely walk and 10 minute drive from Bala. Staff were lovely and accommodating. Would absolutely recommend and would stay again.

Lovely location

Beautifully positioned by the river and a great base to explore the surrounding areas. The site itself was very pleasant and well laid out. Unfortunately, the facilities need a little more attention. There were only 3 women's shower cubicles for the whole site and they were very small, making it rather difficult to get dry and changed. A larger cubicle or another area with space to get dry and dressed is needed. The showers themselves had very poor pressure and the shower/toilet block had lots of mould and dirt. There was one small freezer for the entire campsite. As we had a non electric grass pitch, we were reliant on using ice blocks and a cool box, but the freezer was packed full of frozen ready meals and other food, so we couldn't use it. A freezer just for ice packs or a larger freezer would be much better. Overall, with a few improvements, it would be a great place to return to.

lovely stay

lovely clean and friendly will definitely return

Very tidy, looked after site

Very nice site, in an ideal location to use as a base for adventuring or even just to explore the local areas. Site was well kept, and all the facilities were well maintained and clean Would definitely recommended and would come back again in the future

Camping at Tyn Cornel

The site was very nice with spacious electric grass pitches and a satellite toilet and washing up area, no long walks to the loo! It also had a recycling area to the back. There is a spacious field for non electric which is next to a fast flowing river, banked by trees and a fence. There is also a separate caravan and camper field, with hard standings located next to the main facilities, including toilets and accessible toilet, showers, washing up area and a laundry, reception and shop and recycling area. The staff were very friendly and helpful, they regularly cleaned the facility throughout the day and we had no complaints about cleanliness. The biggest disappointment was the showers, the gents showers were too few and small with a curtain rather than doors. The only dry space for your clothes was shared benches with hooks above of which there was only 2 for the 5 showers, I personally thought this was not ideal for a family campsite. The ladies showers were very small and hard to keep stuff dry though they did have doors. The site is dog friendly throughout. The location was perfect for us right next door to the white water sports centre and close to a lot of attractions in Snowdonia National Park which has the most stunning scenery and landscapes.

Loved our stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great location, good facilities, clean and tidy site. The children loved the on site milkshake machine.
