  • Basic, clean site 10 minutes' walk from Newborough village
  • 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.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked The campsite is well maintained not too busy as this is a family run campground and Jane and terry are lovely. We have been for last 3yrs and we always love it there.

Disliked Weather lol some heavy rain. Jane did try to arrange some sunshine for us and it worked out some of the stay.

Kate C.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked The staff were really friendly, the campsite had a very family friendly vibe to it which was very welcoming.
I liked that there were fridges and freezers to store things and plenty of plug and USB charge sockets.
I also loved that there was washing up liquid and sponges provided so I didn't nèd to buy my own.
Finally I liked that there was a play area. I visited alone this time, but next time I will come with my children.
The showers were lovely and warm and the pitch was level.

Disliked Nothing although they could do with more toilets and sinks.

Chris P.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked A lovely small site that isn’t open all year but that probably allows the owners to give that bit extra care ! Nothing was too much trouble even letting us charge our leisure battery as needed.
The facilities were spotless, cleaned regularly and well stocked.

Children have a huge central area to play in the big field and there was also a play area near the facilities.

Fire pits are given out freely and fire wood available cheaply just a few yards right out of the gate and down a narrow lane.
The site itself is just a 10 minute drive to Llandwyn beach and island with the Newborough forest alongside…. Heavenly !!

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).
