Bwch Yn Uchaf Camping and Caravanning Park

We had a really lovely stay at Bwch yn Uchaf. On arrival, Gareth was friendly and welcoming, taking the time to ask about our journey and making us feel at ease straight away. He explained that we could park on any of the fields, which gave a nice relaxed feel to the place. We chose a spot near the stream, which turned out to be perfect. Although the playground was being revamped during our visit, so the swings weren’t available. Our 7-year-old still had a great time paddling and playing in the stream, which more than made up for it. The location is excellent. It’s only about 30 minutes from Portmeirion and just a 5-minute drive to Bala and the lake, so it’s ideal whether you want to explore or just stay on-site and unwind. The campsite itself was clean, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful mountain views. If there was one small improvement, it would be having a simple map on arrival showing local walks or nearby places of interest. That would have been a nice touch. We visited out of season, so unfortunately didn’t get to see the small railway running, but that just gives us another reason to come back. Overall, a great stay and we would definitely return.

We stayed here last month for three nights. Two adults and our two kids (4 and 7). Absolutely loved our visit and we will be back! Very friendly family run site. Gareth the owner was very friendly and welcoming. We later met his wife who was lovely too. We chatted with several local people here such as Carolyn and her awesome sheep dogs as she passed the train station. A very nice vibe to the area. We had the place almost entirely to ourselves as the weather was stormy!!(The backbend of Storm David!) Lucky we had an air tent... No broken poles to worry about! Very clean toilet areas and loads of space to camp. Several fields more of which open as the season moves on. Lovely setting with a nice little river/stream running along the length of the site. Lovely backdrop including rugged hills/mountain in the distance. And a very nice little train station where you can get on a small steam train into Bala. Bala it's self is a short drive away. Great memories made with our young family and this is a place we will be back to soon!

Excellent campsite with very good facilities. The site now has a small shop, but there is a petrol station and pub nearby and Bala is only 10 mins down the road. Having the steam railway so close is very interesting. Have stayed three times and would happily go back in the future.
