AN AWARD-WINNING camping, glamping and touring park located near Bala has been put up for sale for just shy of £1m.

Tyn Cornel Camping, located within Snowdonia National Park and around four miles from Bala, has been put on the market with a price of £995,000.

The site is set in 12 acres of idyllic countryside and has been developed to a very high standard to include four star amenities, having benefitted from a great deal of capital investment in recent years.

Tyn Cornel Camping comprises a total of 127 pitches across a touring park, a woodland camping field and a riverside camping field, plus owner’s accommodation in a modern dormer bungalow with two double bedrooms. There is also a reception/shop building, shower blocks, and a 2.5 acre paddock presently used for grazing.

The touring park has 37 spacious touring caravan, motor home and large tent pitches, all with electric hook up. These pitches include two spacious bespoke glamping pods each with a double bed and two single beds, on a prime location on the banks of the River Tryweryn.

The woodland camping field has 30 level grass pitches, including two off-grid glamping tents in a secluded area connected to the camping field. Both are fully furnished with double bed, wood-burning stove, external gas stove, picnic bench, kitchen equipment and fire pit.

The riverside camping field is located at the entrance to Tyn Cornel Camping and has 60 grass pitches, bordered by woodland with direct river access.

It has also been ranked number one campsite in Snowdonia on TripAdvisor.

Robert Smithson, senior surveyor at sector specialist Colliers International, who are dealing with the sale of the site, said: “This award-winning site has been independently owned and family operated, and is set within breathtaking rolling countryside whilst being highly accessible by road, and also having excellent internet access via a high-speed fibre outdoor Wi-Fi system.

“It is a highly successful business with an excellent trading performance, with growth in trading year on year as well as opportunities to grow it further. Holiday parks have been increasingly popular in recent years and this has further increased this year with the outbreak of COVID-19, with people favouring breaks in spacious outdoor settings.”

“There are still opportunities for further business growth, including increasing the operated season length, which is presently only seven months across the park; developing the adjoining paddock; adding more glamping units subject to planning permission; adding onsite catering; and developing further links with local businesses such as water sports, outdoor recreation or fishing companies.”
