Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked: Our first visit to Tyn Cornel. We only stayed for 1 night, but despite the biblical weather conditions, we couldn't fault it. The owners seem to put a good deal of effort in to ensuring everything runs smoothly. The wood fired pizza was amazing! Definitely recommend this site.

Disliked: Queuing for ages in the pouring rain for pizza! (It was worth it in the end though!!)

Emma H. Apr 2024

Riverside Pod camping pod

Liked: The site was in the perfect location with a walkway directly to the whitewater centre and river access on site. The facilities on site were brilliant and clean, the showers were nice and hot. The coffee machine is a stroke of genius for those that don't fancy putting the stove on and waiting for water to boil. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. The pod we stayed in was spacious, clean and comfortable, we were especially grateful of the sheltered cooking area.

Disliked: It can get very muddy at the bottom of the steps to the pods so bring wellys or boots and watch your step.

Liked: Great facilities, nice quiet site, and very helpful owners. Playing field for the kids. There was wifi but it didn’t reach our pitch at the far end of the site. No real hardship though.

Local attractions

Tyn Cornel Camping is in prime position for exploring Snowdonia National Park, whether you're after an active holiday in north Wales or want to chill in spectacular surroundings with occasional trips out to local attractions. For active types, the National White Water Centre is metres away; the river rapids run past the site and a river access ramp is on site. If you've never tried whitewater rafting before this is the place to do it, as well as to tackle kayaking or canoeing year-round. For more action, Surf Snowdonia, Zip World and Bounce Below are all a short trip away. Walks? Pick from an easy riverside walk straight from the site, the craggy local peak of Arenig Fawr, or ascents like Snowdon or Cadair Idris within easy driving distance. For biking, some of the UK's best-rated mountain biking trails including Coed y Brenin and Penmachno are within a 30-minute drive, while for road cycling the area is filled with quiet, winding country roads, some stiff climbs and consistently fab views. Family cycling trips can be had at the Mawddach Trail, Llandegla or Llyn Brenig. The Tyn Cornel team also highly recommends castles including Harlech Castle and Criccieth Castle on the coast; the local narrow-gauge railways with spectacular views including the famed Snowdon Mountain Railway and the local Bala Lake Railway; the Italianate setting and buildings of Portmeirion village; the local ales, pub food, takeaways or fine restaurant meals in Bala; Michelin-starred fine dining at Tyddyn Llan or Llandrillo…
