  • 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.

Karlie P.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Terry and Jane were very welcoming on arrival and very helpful, explaining the rules of the campsite, all the facilities and where to go in the local area. Terry was super helpful in providing us with a hose pipe to fill up our camper as we didn’t have one!
The site is very cheap and located in a fantastic location that over looks the mountain range with two fields to choose from. Dogs are welcome and signs up saying they must be kept on leads but they were happy for well behaved dogs to be off lead proving we kept and eye on them and cleaned up and mess which we did. The campsite is very relaxed and a great place to chill and unwind. We spent 2 nights here but wish we stayed longer.
Fantastic beach and Forrest walks nearby.
Nice clean hot showers on site and a great little shed where you can charge your phone, make a hot drink and warm up food in the microwave! Perfect stay. We highly recommend to other guests!

Disliked Nothing that we didn’t dislike!

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Relaxed family feel, loads of space, free of charge fire pits, friendly owners who you get to know, fantastic mountain views and beach nearby. Communal fridge, freezer store with usb charge points (labels to hand too) toys and play area for the kiddies. Lovely text from Jane and Terry the morning before we stayed with specific directions and things to look out for to locate the site. Homegrown apples free to help yourself

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Facilities were great. Pitch in the bigger field had an incredible view with plenty of space for everyone, we didn’t feel enclosed at all. Terry and Jane were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The 40 min walk to Newborough beach was lovely. Free WiFi was available, however we didn’t use it ourselves.

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).
