Bwch yn Uchaf is set in the heart of Snowdonia (Eryri) National Park and within a 30 minute walk of Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake), making it a great base for outdoor adventures. With almost no light pollution, the site offers some amazing starry night skies and you can pitch where you like, even next to the river! Little ones will love the play park, splashing in the River Twrch and the charming chug of Bala Lake Railway next door. Dog friendly too.

We are into our eighth year of camping trips to Bwch yn Uchaf. This trip was with a group of families, the weather was dire, however the campsite was fabulous. Gareth as always was lovely (I didn’t see Bethan this trip) the site is very well maintained and the facilities cleaned regularly. We will continue to come back regularly, it’s perfect for a weekend getaway and a longer stay. Although is now much busier than it was back in 2017!
Spotless with the view

Gem of a site! Beautiful location. Warm welcome. Facilities spotless. Very reasonably priced, especially when travelling solo. Really enjoyed my stay and will definitely return.
Good location but felt showers were too far away

Very good location. The showers were too far away from the camping area and had very basic facilities.

Really good place with lots of things to do around. Gorgeous town 10 mins away in the car with lovely cafes, restaurants and bars. Receptionist was lovely and very helpful. The location can be a bit difficult to find only because the postcode covers a wide range of properties, but once you know what to look for, the railway station sign, you're good to go. Would definitely come back.

We had a really lovely stay (despite some changeable weather!). The site is clean, tidy, and really scenic, and has everything you need for a quiet stay in the heart of Wales. Check-in was super easy with the friendly owner and there were plenty of pitches to choose from. There is a river that runs through the site so you need to keep an eye on the kids but there are pitches away from the river and a nice little play park for them. The town of Bala is a short drive away where there is a good butcher and bakery, small supermarket and a fabulous shop selling Welsh distillery gins, whisky's, beers and more - highly recommended!

Great campsite, had a fab 4 night stay. Beautiful pitch right by the river. Only slight issue was that the shower block was far from the non-electric pitches, but loos & cleaning station very close. Would definitely go back :)
Beautiful, clean, blissfully peaceful

Ideally positioned for the key tourist attractions in North Wales, 20 minutes drive from the Mach Loop car park, near a massive lake (Lake Bala) offering all manner of water sports, and set in stunning countryside with virtually no light pollution, this family friendly site surely cannot be beaten. The friendly, 'nothing is too much trouble' owners work hard to keep the place immaculate and the campsite rules are far from draconian. If I could make one tiny criticism, it would be to repair the track around the speed bumps as they are savage, but then again, no one is going to speed on the site. Whether in a campervan with extended family or a solo motorcycle with a pop-up tent, you will not be disappointed.
Perfect!

For a quieter trip to the area, the perfect location. Easy to get places but a quiet site with lots of different areas. Fantastic dog run and lovely to camp by the river. Great views.

A lovely weekend break for hubby's 40th, the setting is beautiful and the kids loved the park! We took the little train into town and despite dubious weather got out on the lake for some paddle-boarding. Would recommend.

It is a very lovely camping site and the staff were very helpful. I can go back there again. Next time, I will try to camp by the river.

A lovely peaceful site just a few minutes from Bala. It has the steam train station right next door, with a lovely little museum there. The river runs through the site and is perfect for children to go paddling and playing. There is a park for children which my daughter absolutely loved. Good facilities and they are kept clean and tidy. My daughter (8) is already asking to come back here, which we definitely will. People were respectful of being quiet after 10pm, which is nice when coming with children. All in all, a great little place.
Decent

Really great location. Views are amazing and right in the middle of nowhere, so the stars are so clear. Plenty of space to choose from where to pitch. Only downside is the shower block is a bit of a walk away from the non-electric pitches, but that's it.
Beautiful campsite!

Beautiful campsite! We loved our stay here Gareth and Bethan were so helpful, the facilities were always clean and it was a pretty and peaceful place to stay. On a clear night, the stars are so bright and getting to choose your own pitch is a real bonus!

Been here 2 or 3 times now and it has never disappointed. I have had the site to myself once and been in peak August when it was a lot more busy and each time the facilities were of perfect standard. Great steam train station right next door that can take you to Bala for a walk round the local bars, pubs and cafes. Stayed in many campsites this year and this is up there as the best.
Wonderful campsite

The owners are wonderful people, they were so helpful and everything was so clean. The views from the sight are wonderful, I am definitely going back again, I was in a tent but there is hard standing for caravans.
