Bwch-Yn-Uchaf Campsite

Bwch-yn-Uchaf Caravan and Camping Site sits on the edge of Llanuwchllyn village within Snowdonia (Eryri) National Park, at the foot of the Aran and Arenig mountains.

The shallow, clear River Twrch runs the full length of the site, popular for paddling, and Bala Lake Railway's narrow-gauge station adjoins the property, with steam trains passing several times daily.

The site is divided into two areas: a ¾-acre Camping and Caravanning Club certified section with 12 hook-up points (eight hardstanding, level, and partly sheltered), and a more open, unallocated area where campers can choose their own pitch, including spots close to the river.

Minimal light pollution makes for excellent stargazing. Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake) is roughly a 30-minute walk away, and the site is dog friendly.
