Tyn Cornel Camping Reviews

Our visit

We arrived after visiting the local village of bala. The entrance was off the A4212 over a bridge which then led us into the campsite, the reception was well signed and on entering the had a few essentials for sale. The staff were very polite and very helpful. On entering the field our pitch was hard standing with easy connection to electric there was also a tap and water drain the sit had two separate blocks, one was only toilets and dishwasher facilities and the main block had the same but with showers and access to a fridge. Both blocks were a high standard and clean at the reception area there are a couple of machines which dispensed hot drinks cold fresh milk and ice cream. All in all a very good all-round site we enjoyed the few days and would definitely return.

Lovely place

Lovely place. Great facilities, close to the river. Quiet

Bala 2025

Our 2 night stay was amazing so well played out and clean and tidy. Our only downfall to the site was the small bugs at night, they made it unbearable to be outside and in the heat being in the tent was a chore but the site can't really do anything about the bugs it's just the location and environment.

Great site and clean facilities

Had an absolutely great weekend at this campsite. The location was great, our boys enjoyed fishing in the river. the facilities were clean and the kids loved the ice cream vending machine! But the flies! I am not sure if it was just the weekend and the heat, but we couldn't sit outside after 8pm and we are all covered in bites. This might not be anything to do with the site but was an absolute shame.

Nice and peaceful

Very nice, clean, had a nice peaceful break in a nice location.... thanks.

Campsite review

This was our first time camping at this camp site and was an excellent choice of campsite. We were given clear instructions on where our pitch was and the pitch was brill. Everything was close, clean, and set up very well. Definitely will be returning.

Beautifully located campsite

Fully recommend this campsite. Perfect location with beautiful walks alongside the river. Facilities were very clean during our whole stay. Owners were really helpful and lovely. Will definitely be returning :)

Good location for Bala and Betws

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

Lovely campsite. Very welcoming and clean!

Nice and spacious

Nicely located with a lot of space. We did not feel it was crowded although many guests were present at the time.

Great site

Very clean site and facilities. Helpful staff always on hand. Great suppliers in the shop and the vending machines.

Beautiful campsite with stunning walks

Great site with beautiful walks along the river.

Would stay again

Superb, would stay again. Even has fresh milkshakes! Very friendly, family-friendly site we loved it. Very clean facilities. Showers had lovely hot water, electric hook-up, worked great, no problems. Short walk from White Water Rafting centre With a cute little café and park a little further across the road for little kids. Bala is not far with its own park, stone circle and cute hidden castle mound. Milkshakes, coffee and pizza are also highlights from the campsite, would stay again.

Family weekend

This camp was lovely - we were just disappointed because advertised was a food van with breakfast barms and pizzas in the evenings, but these weren't available.

Site's response

Thank you for your review and we apologise the advert wasn't amended sooner. We occasionally have pizza available on site - dates for pizza nights are advertised on our social media accounts. Also the National White Water centre has a lovely riverside café only a 5 minute walk from the campsite.

Wonderful site

Beautifully situated next to the white water river, close to Bala Lake and within a drive to Snowdonia National Park. The facilities are kept scrupulously clean, the site has an ice cream vending machine and milkshake machine both made locally and hard to resist. The free use of the fire pits is great as they are good cast iron ones, but don't bring logs, you are expected to buy them there which is fair enough, all in all we loved it here and miss it already.

Fabulous

We had a very lovely 5 days. Beautiful campsite with a lovely walk by the river. All our kids are grown up now, but if you take children, there is a bit of a park to play in on the walk. Also, cuts through to the (forgive me, forgotten it's name) rapids/rafting and has a cafe. It was perfect. Spent a day fishing in Bala. Such a relaxing week away. It is close to a road and can be a little noisy but only during day and not at all bothersome when your chilling. Absolutely perfect.

Great stay!

Great stay in a beautiful geodome! Had been wanting to do this for a long time and it didn't disappoint! We had a few issues to begin with, like not enough mugs, the gas canister was empty and hot plate for BBQ was rusted. However, these issues were dealt with quickly and professionally by the lovely staff who run the campsite. Toilet and shower facilities were very clean and even a shop on site incase you have forgotten anything! Lovely log burner that keeps the dome nice and warm on an evening. Great location for stargazing and away from the rest of the campsite, so has privacy also! Trundle bed was incredibly comfy too!

Snowdonia stay

Stay at the park was brilliant. It's a great base for the National Park and surrounding area. Plenty of water sports activities within the surrounding area. Park had all amenities required, well run and quiet after 22:00.

Great stay and good pitch too

Staff very helpful on arrival and throughout my stay.

Amazing campsite

We will definitely be back. Can’t fault this place!

Amazing!!

Was absolutely stunning!! Was so impressed with the facilities and the views were stunning.

Not for us

We booked here for 3 nights but only stayed 2, that was only due to weather forecast. It's a relaxing site and nice for a short stay. The facilities very limited and could have been cleaner. The shop on site was also extremely limited. As there was nowhere in walking distance, we thought a better stocked shop would be handy. We stayed on the touring part for a higher amp electric point, which was very helpful. However, you can hear the traffic a lot from there. Great location for driving to other towns but just not a site I'd return to .

Great...but for the midges

We were on electric pitch 1 and the only tent among lots of caravans and motorhomes. All the other tents were the other side of the site. For that reason, it was really quiet which we loved. Plus the weather wasn't great so everyone just stayed inside. Great for getting little ones to sleep, but no facilities at all for kids - not that ours need any. Showers nice and strong and toilets were clean. Only glitch was that on day 4 we asked for soap dispenser in men's toilet block that had been empty on day 1 to be filled. It was filled straight away though. However, I'm not sure we'd return because the midges were ferocious. We're covered in bites. The site lies alongside a river which is lovely, but the clouds of midges were no fun at all sadly. Must make sure to pack insect repellent next time!

Fab 3 night stay

We stayed as a family with 2 children age 8 and 15. The location was perfect, great scenic routes and loads of places to drive and take in the views. Just a short walk from the campsite along the river you get to a beautiful cafe and the white water rafting centre, the boys absolutely loved this and enjoyed the activities they had. Clean toilets and showers. Honestly can't fault this place. On a Friday and Sunday evening, they have freshly made pizzas, and just outside reception, they have a coffee and ice cream vending machine (card payment). Quiet campsite with loads to do.
