We are completely new to camping, and booked our 1st ever camping here. We were able to get last min booking with early check-in to accommodate for my disabilities... Just absolutely perfect from start to finish and super friendly 👌 Facilities we're impeccable clean, and the campsite was idyllic. Will definitely be returning and making a regular.

Beautiful location

Twin Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesMay 2026

The site is beautiful, and in a lovely location, the river is so pretty, my kids loved splashing in the evening in there, it is a fast flowing river so we put the kids life jackets on to be safe, the facilities are perfect, and the the little shop was good and the vending machine for milk and milkshakes it also had a coffee,tea and hot chocolate machine, only down side is the getting breath and food you need if stopping longer, but the local supermarket delivery to campsite, but they book up quickly, the only down side is the midgies at night, I have so many bites, so big spray is needed lol but we had a lovely time and the lovely couple who tun the campsite where fantastic. It would be great if a little play park was placed on site 😊

Site's response

Hi Carol, thank you for your review, we are glad you had a good time. We have considered stocking more items but sadly there is not enough call for them. We understand the midges are a nightmare, they are unavoidable due to being so close to the river, we do stock candles, incense sticks and bug repellent spray in the shop.

Making memories

The site is in a lovely area but not a lot can be seen from the actual campsite, which is enclosed by tall trees: so no sipping coffee in the morning admiring the views (which I like to do). No light pollution meant it was clear enough to see the Milky Way- so great views above! The facilities are old but clean.

Peaceful

Peaceful with beautiful river running through it. Staff were very helpful. Facilities were basic but maintained. Not much for children to do at campsite. The milk, coffee and ice cream vending machines were definitely a hit. Would definitely use again if we were to visit the area again.

Lovely campsite

Tyn Cornel was a lovely campsite. I camped there for 5 nights and it was very peaceful and set in a beautiful area. The showers were hot and all the facilities were cleaned regularly and in good condition. It was the perfect location for exploring Snowdonia, within a half an hour to an hours drive for exploring lots of the tourist spots I wanted to see including Snowdon, Portmeirion and Cearnarvon. Staff were very helpful.

Great location

We were able to take a short walk up to the white water centre. A short drive from Bala town - about 5 mins. Clean and tidy site. Showers were on the small side and basic, but clean and tidy Staff were friendly and welcoming.

With the exception of a lack of privacy when changing for the men's showers, we found the site to be everything we wanted.

Excellent site. Close to Bala lake if you're looking to do water sports. Bala town is a close drive about 10 minutes away. The site itself is well kept, clean shower and toilet blocks. A lovely river runs alongside the site which is a nice feature. Fire pits are available for hire for evening, reasonably priced for what you're getting would definitely go again and recommend to people.

Beautiful site

What an amazing stay. Facilities were spotless whole site was tidy and kept well. Showers hot and plenty off them. Free fire pits to hire. 5 mins drive into Bala where there is plenty of shops and places to eat and amazing fish shop. There is a huge lake and views to die for. We climbed Snowdon and only took 55 mins to get there. There is loads too do within driving distance - waterfalls etc. We will be back next year thank you for an amazing quiet stay ❤️
