  • 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.

Top family-run spot. Campers rave about the friendly hosts, spotless facilities, and roomy, flat sites. Great location near beaches and nature, plus a quiet vibe. Thoughtful extras like charging points and kitchen facilities mean folks can't wait to come back.

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

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

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.

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked Huge pitches, great friendly welcome. All the small touches you might need to make camping easier. Great you can use their firepits. Toilets, showers and washing up area, all cleaned and looked after regularly

Disliked Didn't like it's only got a 28 day licence. It should be open all year. It could do with having more showers/toilets but we never had to wait long.

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked Spacious pitches, amazing views, friendly owners, access to fridge freezers and sockets for charging (helpful when on a non-electric site).
Showers were hot, but there are only three showers and toilets do the occasional small queue, especially during a peak time stay. Facilities were clean and adequate.
Not too far from local beauty spots. Local village has a convenience shop a great chippy (top tip - pre-book a slot to collect your order online in advance)

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).
