We stayed at Ty Newydd Farm for 8 nights in July 2012. The day before we arrived there had been torrential downpours in the area and we were worried about what state the camping field would be in - no need to worry, the field was incredibly well drained. Getting to the site involves driving along some narrow country lanes - not a problem but just something to be aware of, particularly if you are towing. We were greeted by the owner, on arrival and told to basically pitch wherever we liked. The camp site was quiet while we were there - at the peak there were 9 units on our field, plus some occupants on seasonal pitches. However, even if it is busy, the pitches are generous and I don't think you would feel cramped. Our weather was mixed and we did have a considerable amount of rain but the field only really looked a bit waterlogged one morning and that was after 5 hours of torrential - and I do mean torrential! - rain the previous night. We paid £10 per night for our pitch, plus a couple of pounds for EHU and £1 for the dog - I thought this was incredibly good value. The facilities were basic but always clean - the showers took 20p pieces but we found that OH needed 40p and I needed 60p for a decent shower including washing my hair etc. However, given that the site was so cheap, I didn't have a problem with this. We had breakfast at the cafe on the site one day and it was lovely, and good value for money. The location is beautiful - views of the sea from the field - it can get a little windy but it didn't cause us any problems. The site is very quiet, no club house or playground, but loads of room in the middle of the field for children to play. It is quite a long walk to the village, I would say really that other than walking the coastal path you need to drive to get anywhere. This didn't bother us but it is something to think about. Aberdaron is a tiny village - there is a Spar and another shop, but these are expensive and not particularly well stocked, so I would advise stocking up elsewhere before heading back to the campsite. We ate in one of the pubs, The Ship, a couple of times and it was lovely. Excellent food, a warm welcome, and dogs were welcome in the bar area. We didn't get such a warm welcome at the other pub in the village, so they didn't get our custom! The beach at Aberdaron is lovely, and there is both a dog free area and a large area where dogs are allowed. There are lots of lovely places to visit in the area, but just be aware that Aberdaron is at least a 20 minute drive from Abersoch and 30 minutes from Pwllheli - again, this didn't bother us but it wouldn't suit everyone. Overall, we had a lovely stay at Ty Newydd and would definitely return. It is a reasonably basic site which offers clean facilities, incredible value for money and a quiet, relaxing holiday. Would we visit again? Without a doubt :-)

The access is via a country lane in a quiet area of the Lleyn peninsula. On arrival we had a warm welcome by the staff, the pitches were adequate in size and level and for the pitch and EHU it was £12 per night, good value. There are two shower blocks (we used the new block 50p a go)which were kept clean in the main and there seems to be lots of return visitors here. The site could do with a kids area perhaps. Downside? well, a few chavs turned up and we heard arguments, threats and swearing between these on one night across the field, they should have been thrown off but were not. This could've happened anywhere on any site as unfortunately that's some people for you, The site was fine but would probably try another the next time as there are loads in the area.

Just home from this lovely site- only came across it by chance Spacious pitches and fantastic views, well placed for coastal walks. We had very mixed weather so had to go into civilisation some days- very relaxed, My son gave it ten out of ten, as he did some star gazing- very pleased, The village of aberdaron a short drive away with some shops and pubs, Livelier abersoch 25 mins away-- Great beach at whistling sands, views of bardsey island too

Beautifully located site. Near what could only be described as the lands end of Wales. Owners are welcoming and friendly. Showers are 20p for 2mins in the front of toilet block were always clean and supplied hooks and a bench to sit on. The showers at the back of building are 50p for 5mins no hooks as yet and a small stool to put your stuff on. Both were perfect temperature and great water flow. Toilets clean (no hand soap for three days although it's very remote and it's no bother to take your own) Always stocked with good quality loo roll though, which is more than can be said for a lot of campsites. Cafe/takeaway on site was great. It also supplied ice cream, chocolate etc Field kept nicely. The only issue I have with this site is with some of the campers. It clearly says in the rules dogs should be kept on a lead at all times and not on an extended lead outside the unit. We did this and walked on a very acceptable well kept dog walk area, some people did not keep there dog on a lead and some put their dogs on an extendible lead outside there unit. I think this needs to be addressed as does the person that flies a large remote controlled helicopter/aeroplane. This is against caravan and camping club rules and therefore should not be allowed as if it came down on someone/or a Tent/caravan who will pay damages? Perhaps concerns need to be expressed to these people. Overall nice site, reasonable price. Good washing up facilities and the owners ae always working hard to maintain it. Aberdaron is lovely, Spar expensive. Ty newydd nice pub with terrace.

Went to Ty-Newydd over the August bank holiday in a trailer tent although we usually go in just a tent. There was a set rate for 4 nights of £70 for the trailer tent, 4 adults, 2 cars and we felt it was very good value. Very clean friendly family site with excellent views and good for walking. It can be very windy here but gets some shelter from the hedges. Most of the pitches are level. The toilets are spacious and clean - 3 for ladies. There are 2 unisex showers which cost 20p which is enough time for a speed wash but if, like me, you have long hair and need to condition it you will need at least 40p. There is often a queue here in the morning. The showers are spacious with a curtain and a bench so that your clothes remain dry. Water always piping hot in sinks and showers - lovely! However they need more toilets and showers as the amount they have is inadequate for the number of people on the site. The washing up facilities are inadequate as there is not enough space - only two sinks with one draining board. Not enough elbow room here either - a little bit too cosy! Nice on-site cafe which was very handy for a breakfast after we packed up - reasonable costs too. Overall it was brilliant and would definitely go back to this site.

3 nights in August with hookup, awning, 2 adults & a 12 yo - £42. Absolute bargain. Clean and well-maintained with cafe on site. Good breakfasts, didn't try other meals but looked ok. Staff very helpful giving advice about walks in the area. WiFi available at £1 a day. No specific play-area for kids but all safe enough & plenty of other kids to run around with. Only 2 showers but despite site being quite busy, didn't have to queue at all. 20p for 3 minutes, good water pressure, plenty of hot water & space to hang things. Quite exposed, awning nearly blew flat on last night, so take some good pegs/tie down kit etc. Quite a walk down to Aberdaron & back uphill but easy to park if you get there early enough. National Trust carpark too so free for members. If full, a field 100m up the hill is £2 a day in an honesty box. Couple of good pubs but food only 12-2pm, 6-8pm. Bit of a shock when you've promised yourself a nice late lunch after a good swim. A bit of a cliché on here but I'm torn between giving praise where it's due and blowing the secret of this great site wide-open. Treat yourself but bring good pegs.
