Family Camping at Bala Lake: Canoes, Waterfalls & Campfires

Our annual camping trip to Bala Lake was pure chaos and pure joy rolled into one. Picture this: 40 people, seven tents, one campervan, beaming sun by day vs freezing nights, toasted Babybels on the fire, canoeing on Bala Lake, a waterfall swim… oh, and me falling 8ft off a fence.
