What customers say
This is a highly recommended, well-maintained campsite with stunning views and spacious pitches. Visitors consistently praise the clean, modern, and well-equipped toilet and shower facilities. The site is described as peaceful, family-friendly, and conveniently located for nearby beaches. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few mention that the site can be pricey and occasionally experiences issues with noise or a lack of staff presence during busy periods.

Liked ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had a great stay at Ynyshir Farm Campsite! The location is perfect for walkers and cyclists – just a lovely walk to Talacre Beach and plenty of fantastic coastal cycle routes leading to Ffrith Beach, Prestatyn, Rhyl, and beyond.
The facilities were excellent, with toilets kept very clean throughout our stay. Communication with the owners was easy and straightforward, and the campsite itself is great value for money.
A couple of tips for future visitors: there are pubs nearby, but many didn’t serve food, and we found places around Talacre Beach closed by 8pm, so it’s best to bring your own supplies as we didn’t see shops nearby. That said, catching the sunset on the beach made up for it – absolutely stunning!
We stayed over the August Bank Holiday weekend and had a sea-view pitch, we’ll definitely be back. A really enjoyable stay in a lovely site that allows fire pits.

Liked Just a fantastic site. The location is great with fantastic views. Close to Prestatyn for shops, close to Talacre beach. The fields are super well maintained with excellent drainage so now swampy pitches. Toilet block is very nice with excellent showers and theyre very clean. Paul is super helpful.

Beautiful site but not enough facilities for busy holiday perids
Non-electric grass campervan, trailer tent or tent pitch
Liked 1. Views over looking the sea are beautiful.
2. All facilities are located within a Modern shower/ toilet block.
3. Quick check in, via a simple phone call upon arrival.
4. Location close to beautiful beach and big town for shops only 10 mins drive away.
5. Well lit walkway to the toilet block for nighttime.
Disliked 1. In our opinion there is Insufficient number of toilets resulting ques throughout the day. 3 of the 5 toilets are within shower rooms which therefore can't be used when showers are in use. These are the only toilets for the three field campsite.
2. Replenishment of toilet paper was insufficient at times resulting in no toilet paper in any of the toilets.
3. No permanent staff on site therefore it can take some time to respond to issues. Also we found texts regarding issues went unanswered (although issues where resolved, would of appreciated a response, however understand may not be able to reply to all)
4. Signage could be improved. When you first approach site, If coming from Liverpool way the site sign is only visible when you are almost passed the entrance. Could do with one on the other side for visibility. Also no sign for where the washing up facilities are so need to explore to find them as they are tucked away at the back of the toilet and shower rooms.
5. No bins in toilets therefore toilet roll tubes and rubbish are left on the floor untill next clean.
6. No Sinks outside of the toilets. If wanting to brush teeth only you have either take up one of the toilets or use the washing up sinks. which lead to further ques.
7. Noise curfew advertised as 9.30, but not inforced due to no staff presents. One permanent caravan was playing karaoke load untill passed 10.30 and we had to take it upon ourselves to ask them to turn it down as could be heard in the far field.

Liked The view was very good and the place was quite.
Disliked This is the 3rd time I had been to this site. However, I was very disappointed about the toilet cleanliness this time. All the toilets were awful and disgusting. People seems like uneducated that they did not flush the toilet after using it. I only saw once the staff trying to mopping up the toilet floor, but none of the staff clean the bathroom and toilets at all. They all stains! Sorry, I don't think I would come here again

From the manager: Firstly, may I suggest that you ask someone with an understanding of the English Language to write your reviews in future.
The shower facilities are cleaned 6 times a day. I know this as I am the one doing it. Unfortunately, I can't be held responsible for campers lack of respect for both the facilities and fellow campers.
Thank you for an amazing weekend.
