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!

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.

Things to do on site and in the Bala area
Tyn Cornel Camping is in a prime location for exploring Snowdonia National Park. If you're after an active holiday in North Wales you will be spoilt for choice. Equally, if you just like relaxing in beautiful surroundings, or getting out to see the local tourist attractions, the campsite is ideal.
For active types, white water runs alongside the campsite and the National White Water Centre is just metres away. It's a great place to try white water rafting or to access year-round white water for kayaking or canoeing.
There is a river access ramp on site and with rafts regularly passing you'll be tempted to give it a go! For more water sports or a spot of swimming Lake Bala is just a ten minute drive away.
The walking in the area is second to none. Choose from a picturesque riverside walk straight from the campsite, the impressive peak of Arenig Fawr, or classic peaks such as Snowdon or Cadair Idris within easy driving distance.
Within a 30 minute drive there are some of the best mountain biking trail centres in the UK, including Coed y Brenin and Penmachno. The road cycling is fantastic. Quiet, winding country roads, some stiff climbs and consistently amazing views. For family cycling there is the Mawddach trail, Llandegla or Llyn Brenig.
Zip World, Bounce Below and Surf Snowdonia are all just a short trip away. As well as:
- Castles! Including the dramatic battlements of Harlech castle and Criccieth castle on the coast.
- Narrow gauge railways with magnificent steam trains: from Bala Lake to the famous Snowdon Mountain Railway
- The glorious setting and buildings of Portmeirion Village.
- Local ales, pub food, takeaways or fine restaurant meals in Bala Town.
- Michelin star fine dining at Tyddyn Llan, Llandrillo.
- Plus, much much more...
