  • Family-run site in a peaceful countryside location near Aberdaron
  • Well-maintained facilities and top spot for stargazing
  • Café serving breakfast, snacks and hot meals throughout the day
Set on the very tip of the National Trust-managed Llŷn Peninsula on the north Wales coast and overlooking Bardsey Island, Ty-newydd Farm is a fenced site a mile from the coast with heaps of space for kids as well as open fields aplenty in which to fly kites or get competitive at cricket. (Sinking down with a book, particularly while the kids are safely roaming free range, would be a highly decent option of choice too.) The family running this sheltered and long established farm and campsite are landscaping and developing it in an environmentally sympathetic manner to keep in manner with the scenic surrounds. It has ladies' and gents' toilets, two spacious showers, four shower units/rooms, a disabled-friendly shower and baby changing facilities. Two washing-up sinks with free unlimited hot and cold water are just outside the shower block; a water tap and waste water disposal point are halfway down the site along with a chemical toilet point. Ty-newydd Farm also has a well-stocked café serving breakfast, snacks and hot meals throughout the day; supplies can be sorted at Aberdaron village about a mile and a half away.

JILL S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Lovely remote site at the end of the peninsular. Great recharge spot with nature and the views. We had the run of the place as it was start of the season. Idyllic if you can entertain yourself in the peace and quiet. There is a cafe but I think we were too early to use. We had everything we needed onboard our van anyway. Loos and showers small but clean.

Disliked: The road to the site is very narrow so be confident in driving rural roads if you have a large car or camper. Sat nav gave up short so keep going. Also zero signal for us at site.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Beautiful site with amazing views. Lovely welcome from owner with loads of information. There is a cafe on site with huge windows so you can take in the view while you eat. Very friendly staff in there. There is a block with toilets and separate showers, inside sinks for washing up, with food collection tubs beside the sink. There is a coffee machine in a little nook where the sinks are, and a borrow library of books, dvds and board games. I had zero signal with my mobile (O2) but you could buy a voucher for the internet, I was shocked at the very reasonable price of £1 for 24 hours or a week for £5.
The bins are all for recycling, with clear signs of what goes in which bin.
We had a really lovely time here and would highly recommend it. If we go to Aberdaron again, we would definitely be booking here.

Local attractions

The lovely Llŷn Peninsula is a stellar spot for walking, birdwatching, rock fishing and wildlife watching as well as stargazing: Ty-newydd Farm is in a highly rural area with very little street lighting and no industry (that means very clean air too). The clear night skies around the farm and the peninsula have been lauded by astronomers as the clearest they've ever seen in the UK, so settle down here of an evening to spy planets, millions of stars and even the occasional flaring comet… Local walks are sorted directly from the site to Aberdaron via the Mynydd Mawr monument at the top of the headland – you could miss out the Mynydd Mawr part of the walk if you're doing it in the evening to take in the also stellar sunset sinking down over Bardsey Island. If you're off to Aberdaron, have a hunt for St Mary’s Well or Ffynnon Fair, the freshwater spring at the foot of the Mynydd Mawr cliffs. It's covered by sea water twice a day, but you wouldn't know that by tasting it: bring and fill a bottle or two to take back home. And as you're this close to the north Wales coast, days out at the local beaches should also be hunted down: have them at Aberdaron, Abersoch, Porth Neigwl, Pwllheli…
