Weekend away! 🏕️☀️
The season has been so busy for us this year. Thank you to everyone who dropped off their tent boxes late on Sunday—it gave us the chance to extend our weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather, just like you did!
Welcome to our first campsite adventure! 🏕️
As many of you know, we usually love wild camping because it gives us the freedom we enjoy. However, you've been asking us for campsite recommendations from the very beginning, so here we go!
📍 Bwch-yn-Uchaf Caravan & Camping Site & B&B is located in the heart of Snowdonia National Park, at the foot of the stunning Aran and Arenig mountain range, just one mile from Bala Lake.
The site is split into two areas:⛺ A ¾-acre Camping & Caravanning Club certified site with 12 electric pitches.🌿 A larger non-electric area for campers who want more space and privacy. The pitches are unallocated and unmarked, so you can choose your own spot, for example by the river, which we absolutely loved.
The main toilet block is located at the entrance and includes showers, toilets, disabled facilities, and a washing-up area. There's also another toilet and washing-up area further down the non-electric section, so you never have to walk too far.
For families, there's a small children's play area, and for dog owners, there's a secure enclosed dog run where your furry friends can enjoy some off-lead freedom, which our dogs absolutely loved! 🐶
Right next to the campsite is the Bala Lake Railway, offering a beautiful 9-mile return journey alongside Bala Lake through Snowdonia National Park. We didn't get the chance to try it this time because we ran out of time, but it's definitely on our list for our next visit!
💷 Prices start from just £12 per adult per night, with dogs costing only £1 each, which we think is fantastic value compared to many other campsites.
⭐ Would we recommend it? Absolutely! If you're looking for a peaceful campsite with plenty of space, beautiful scenery, and great facilities for both families and dogs, this is definitely one to add to your list. We didn't feel like it was overcrowded at all. We only had four other cars around us, which still gave us that wild camping vibe
