  • 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.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely small site with super friendly owners. As a solo lady camper I found this site really safe and relaxing. Plenty of extra amenities like fridges, kettle and microwave if you wanted to use them. Very clean toilets, showers and washing up room. Definitely going again during their short opening season

Disliked That that are only allowed to open 28 days a year due to local restrictions - not the owners choice.

Liked What a wonderful little site! Basic facilities but done brilliantly. Clean and well kept throughout. Great little kitchen area, microwave and kettle were a godsend with the recent dry weather restricting use of BBQs and stoves. Lots of fridge space. Terry and Jane are wonderfully welcoming, friendly and helpful.

Disliked Nothing, it was great! 🤩

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).
