  • Basic, clean site 10 minutes' walk from Newborough village
  • A 40-minute walk from Newborough beach; Ynys Llanddwyn further on
  • Great views of Snowdonia and dark skies for nighttime stargazing
What a spot – family-run Isle of Anglesey site Maes Tywyn Campsite is in a splendid setting with peaceful surrounds, easy access to walks and beaches, and village amenities less than a mile away. This nifty location is a 10-minute trot from the little village of Newborough (or Niwbwrch if you’re practising your Welsh lingo) – there’s a pavement all the way along the road, so you should have a safe enough saunter to the village’s café, chip shop, convenience store or pub. If you’d like your eats even closer you can either light up a barbecue or meander along to the great fish and chip shop half a mile down the road. Getting out to the rest of the island is a cinch from here: there are plenty of places to walk in the surrounds (perennial fave spot Ynys Llanddwyn is around an hour away on foot), and you can get to even the most far-flung beaches with a drive of half an hour or so. Fancy ditching the car for a day? There’s a bus stop a short walk away for buses to Bangor and beyond. Back at base, peaceful times are very much encouraged – there’s heaps of space to chill out here with gorgeous views towards Snowdonia by day and a fab array of stars overhead after dark (clouds permitting, of course). There’s also a playground for the small sorts to scamper about in; and it’s been cleverly kitted out with benches for restful parental supervision. As for practical matters, the site has unisex toilet and shower facilities.

Liked Lovely family friendly campsite, in a beautiful location. Great location to explore Anglesey. Additional bonus of having a communal kitchen with fried/ freezers, microwave and kettle which makes staying non electric easier.
This couple who run the site are really helpful. This is our second time visiting and will definitely be back again.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We travelled here from Derbyshire on the weirdest weathered weekend ever. It was August bank holiday and the skies went from sun and heat to torrential rain and back again but it didn’t dampen our spirits. The ground was of course wet but absolutely no puddles!
The site is located perfectly around 5 minute drive from Newborough village and a 10-15 minute
drive to Newborough beach.
You could easily stroll to the village safely as it has pavement right through and the village has the most amazing fish and chip shop (the cod mother). It also has a pub and convenience store so you are never far away from essentials.
The site has two large fields, one of which spans approx 4 and a half acres which easily housed our family group together. There is also a smaller section for electric hook ups.
There are three toilets and showers on site. I have seen on previous posts a few people suggesting more are needed but given this is a pop up camp site the cost involved must be considered and I believe it wouldn’t be cost effective. The toilets and showered were super clean and well stocked at all times.
Showers are not timed nor are they charged which is absolutely wonderful when you have three children to conveyer through. Showers were always warm and the water pressure was perfect even when all three were in use. You are camping which I think people have forgotten in some of the previous comments.
The site is tidy and clean from the washing up stations to the grass itself. The owners clearly look after and have respect and love for their place.
Owners Terry and Jane have been amazing from booking to leaving. Always helpful and friendly and always at hand if you needed anything. Which for us was nothing but it was good to know they were there incase.
Views are spectacular and the owners would often do checks around the site day and night which was really appreciated.
We are hoping to come back again when the weather is a little less strange. We came as a family group with children aged from 3-13 and they all played safely and happily. The middle age groups particularly enjoyed the little play area, which is located conveniently near the washing up sinks, freezers and showers so as to keep them close at all times.
Thank you Jane and Terry

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked What a wonderful campsite! We honestly couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
There are so many amenities you simply wouldn’t expect from a smaller campsite. There’s plenty of fridge space, access to electricity, a microwave, and all the kitchen equipment you could possibly need. Everything is spotlessly clean, particularly the toilets and washing facilities, and the showers are fantastic.
It’s incredibly family-friendly, with loads of games and activities for children. The owner puts on lovely little crafts too, such as stone painting, which makes the whole place feel so welcoming and special. You can really tell how much thought and care goes into making it enjoyable for families.
And the views are absolutely incredible! We had a wonderful view of Snowdon and the surrounding mountain range — just breathtaking.
Newborough Warren is only about a five-minute walk away, and the glorious beach is just a little further up the road. The location really couldn’t be better.
It’s such a lovely, friendly and well-kept campsite, with everything you could want for a relaxing family break. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone, especially families! ❤️

Local attractions

If you only see one attraction on Anglesey it really must be Ynys Llanddwyn, the little rocky outcrop named after the Welsh patron saint of lovers. The best way to get there from the site is to head out on foot, walking to the lighthouse and ruined chapel through the Newborough Forest. Pack a picnic to scoff on next-door Newborough beach, and perhaps bring binoculars in case any seals are swimming in the area. Should you have a bit longer (and really you should), there’s plenty more to keep you busy around the island. Family days out include pony rides and animal feeding frenzies at Foel Farm (10 minutes’ drive), getting to know the sea-dwelling critters at Anglesey Sea Zoo (10 minutes) and viewing the vintage vehicles at Tacla Taid Anglesey Transport Museum (five minutes). If you’ve a head for history, take days out at Beaumaris Castle (25 minutes), Plas Newydd House and Gardens (15 minutes) or the ruins of Aberlleiniog Castle (half an hour), or scooch back over to the mainland to the castles in Caernarfon (25 minutes), Conwy (35 minutes) and Criccieth (50 minutes).
