An hour's walk from Newborough beach and Ynys Llanddwyn
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 barbie 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 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.

Liked: This campsite is great. Everything you need is taken care of. I especially like the kettle, which means I don't have to fire up the stove for a cuppa. There is also a freezer and 3 fridges for campers use.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: It was a smaller field, lots of amenities such as a fridge, microwave and a kettle, they also had a lot of games, books chargers and a play area for kids plus a seating area near by. Fire pits are also avalible for people to use. Toilets are clean as are the showers and the pot washing room all in all really good, really laid back.

Disliked: That there wasn’t an enforced quiet time as we ended up near some very loud guests. Not an issue if it’s your thing but for us it was a bit loud

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Everything was thought through, as young campers I imagine our needs are slightly different but it felt like Terry and Jane hadn’t missed a trick. Really thoughtful , considerate and excellent hosts. Everything was clean , well organised and really professional. Couldn’t ask for anything more if even if I sat down I thought about it all day.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Really great site. It's tucked away but still really accessible. They've got loads of stuff you don't always get on a site, like playing cards, board games and fridge/freezers. Shower block is nice and the pressure and hot water was great. We were there when it was super quiet (during Storm Angus) - we've got a great tent and used the car as a bit of a wind block - had a surprisingly good sleep! Whole pitch is super flat and the owners couldn't have been friendlier. Would definitely stay again.

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).
