 Well it's our very first time camping, We decided to just book one night so we could do a practise run.
The site was great, clean and tidy with recycling facilities.
As our tent is big (Hartford L) we had to pay extra for a larger pitch, but that didn't bother us.
The toilets and shower block were clean and warm especially at 7am after the cold night we had.
The beach is just on the doorstep with a security gate that requires the key fob you get given when you arrive.(£10 deposit for the key fob)
As we have never camped before we can't compare our stay with anything else, unless you count me on guide camp 25+ years ago.
We do plan to return later this year but stay for more than 1 night as our son wanted to play for longer on the beach and so did our dog. Yes dogs are allowed but on a lead which makes sense and no fouling on site, which I am glad of as our son was bare foot whilst we stayed.
Over all a great site. Here's to more sites like this one.

We were restricted as to which week we could take for our holiday and when I rang the site with my available dates they were not opening until 2 weeks later. However, to our delight, they agreed to open for us!
We were, as always, very impressed with the helpfulness of the staff and owners. Nothing seemed too much trouble for them. The views from the site are jaw dropping, the site is tidy and the toilet and shower facilities are spotless.
I would not hesitate to recommend The site to anyone.

2 Adults and 2 kids (4 and 6 years)
From the beginning we felt very well looked after. We were guided to our pitch and told about the safe distance between pitches - 6 metres to be exact. Quite sloping but not a problem in a caravan (remembered the spirit level!).
Security fob is an interesting idea. It is used to enter and leave the site at the top entrance. It also works on a gate which goes into Lligwy beach car park. This was very useful.
We spent one day out - went to Portmeirion. Then spent the next day on site. Wandered down to beach, spent a good while down there with buckets, spades, power kite etc. Then we got chips for tea from Richard the burger van man :) What more could one ask for? Beach close by and chips for tea (sorry I'm off in a little dream now).
Loads of kids staying on the site so our 2 had no trouble making new friends and they all hung around together and shared their toys - it was a very good atmosphere for them.
Site is very well organised, people really do go quiet at about 10.30pm. A lot of rules to follow but all quite sensible and have taken some thought about what makes a good stay at a site. Loos and showers very clean, hair dryer too (very civilised!).
On the last night we had very heavy rain. Next day we watched several large, capable cars have trouble driving up the soggy field and thought best not to chance trying that with a caravan on the back. So the other half went to Reception and asked if they had a tractor. It so happens they did and gave us a tow to the exit of the field where we hitched up no problem.
Would give this place 5 stars if there was a rating system!

We just love this campsite. This is our second visit to Dafarn Rhos. For us, everything is perfect. The ladies shower block has 4 piping hot showers and you can use the hairdryer for 20p for 5 minutes. The toilets are kept really clean. I never had to wait to use either the toilet or shower.
The campsite owners are so friendly and always on hand. The pitches are mostly flat and positioned around the fields so that you are not overlooked and have plenty of space. You are shown to your pitch and can leave your car next to your tent.
The beautiful sandy beach is virtually on your doorstep. Perfect! I love the views of the sea from the coastal road.
We will definitely return to Dafarn Rhos again next year.

We've just come back from our second visit to this site and can wholeheartedly recommend it. The location is great - right by a wonderful beach, which is great for children. The sand is soft, the water shallow and safe with rock pools for poking around for crabs! And the views are great.
The staff are friendly and helpful. We've had flat pitches and tremendous weather for both our visits so we can't comment on the slope/dampness issues. The facilities are perfectly adequate and the evening curfew is respected by all so it's peaceful in the evening - great when you're taking young children. There has been ongoing investment in security, although the electronic gates were playing up and you only get one key fob per family to get back into the site.
Fish and chips are better in Benllech than Moelfre - we took ours down to the beach in Benllech, which although smaller than Lligwy was very very nice. There's a pub on the road to Amlwch with a 'fun bus'. It's called the Pilot Boat. Don't eat there, the food is wasn't great.
We've been thinking that we ought to try somewhere different for our next trip. But to be honest we can't find anywhere that offers everything that this site offers.

We have just returned from a weekend trip to this site and having also stayed here in 2006 we knew the views were beautiful. Lligwy beach is a safe haven for children to explore and only minutes from the site.
The site is positioned in a truly gorgeous spot.
For this years trip we were camping as a whole family, 11 adults and 4 little ones. We were allocated 'the plateau' which is designed for group camping and enabled us to have a lovely community feel to our plots. We did feel that the wardens were a bit too particular about the arrangement of our tents but understood that we needed to comply with fire safety regulations that the site strictly adheres to.
We are normally big fans of the no noise when we camp but as a group it was very difficult to keep our voices to a whisper after 10.30 at night.
We were informed the first morning that there had been complaints from other campers about our noise level, which we found hard to believe as we really weren't the noisiest group on site. All the other campers were complaining about the wardens over zealous policing of the no noise rule. Roy actually stood at our gazeebo for 10 minutes one night, slightly uncomfortable I can tell you.
In addition to this, it seeems that seasonal campers don't have to adhere to the regular campers rule, as we observed a seasonal camper having an open fire which were forbidden to the mere mortal campers like ourselves.
All in all a fab trip, but we would never return as a group which is a shame, and considering that they have a group camping area they made a group of happy campers feel intimidated by the nightly patrols.

We have been members of the caravan and camping club for the past 16 years. We have just returned having spent a week under canvas at this site and feel we must recommend it to other campers.
This is an ideal site for families as access to the safe and sandy beach only takes a minute - the site has security gates so young children cannot wander off site. There are some lovely coastal paths to explore offering beautiful scenery - ideal for photographers.
It is run by warm, friendly people who were extremely helpful and polite, answering any questions we had as this was our 1st stay at this camp.
Pitches are extremely generous, many with their own water supply which you don't often see on a lot of sites. The facilites, whilst small, are very clean and adequate.
We would recommend this site to anybody - young or old and with or without families - there's something for everyone.

We stayed on this site at the end of May as a family of 4 in a large tent.
The site is rather sloping but our pitch was fine on an uphill section. I wouldn't like to have been further down the fields.
We had to pay extra because our tent is big but I think the site managers were being over-cautious; we could have fitted easily on a standard pitch.
Cost £25 a night a bit steep imho. The toilets showers etc were clean but inadequate for the size and cost of the site; especially the small sinks and cramped loos in the older block. The dishwash facilities are in a wooden building .
HOWEVER as previously stated in reviews the location of this beach-side site is ideal; Lligwy beach is safe, sandy and ideal for families paddling and beachcombing. The scenery is beautiful and the little village of Moelfre is very pretty. Benllech has all the shops, banks, take-aways etc. That you may require. We would definitely return for a short break.

Stayed on this campsite in August on another rainy weekend, when we got there we were told to follow a member of staff to our pitch, we were worried that we might be put on a slope due to previous comments on this site, but we weren't, we were told which way to face it
The Location was nice and close to the beach the toilets were ok and checked regularly, but the site didn't look very well kept and maintained
Overall the site was ok for a weekend but wouldn't stay there for a week. Many of the previous comment have been quite accurate.

Stayed here Sept 7th - 9th 2007 expect to pay for dogs (even though no dog waste bins provided) Pitch 29 quite a walk away from toilets and showers.
Now the good bits, the two wardens are very friendly, will help you any way they can. Pitch 29 is very flat with hook up and water tap behind, 1 min walk to chemical waste and the very fabulous beach,kids will love it very safe. Great coastal walks, little hut for drinks ices etc, think this might be seasonal. Coastal walk to Moelfre really nice. Good pub there but dear. Avoid local chippy, head for Benllech, as you go back to Benllech turn right at the petrol station its there on your right, all in all not too bad.

Stayed here on Tuesday the 4th after just camping in Holyhead. I share many thoughts with reviewers already.
Ok plus points, our pitch was fairly decent and we were not on a hill because we were near the bottom and had a partial sea view and could see some dunes.
The beach was with in easy reach by foot
The toilets and showers are ok and the recyling was a nice touch.
The minor points.
It is £13 to stay here out of season with out electric hook up. On the steep side.
I disliked the jaunt up the hill to get the the bins, toilets and everything else. There was nothing nearer only the beach.
It is £6.50 extra to stay a bit longer on this campsite and there is know lacks on rules despite being out of season.
I neither liked or disliked this camp site.
Owners comments: £13 is mid season rate, £10 is low season rate.
To stay on your pitch after 11.00am (if it is available) to any time up to 6.00pm is not a fixed charge but ½ of your nights pitch fee

On arrival (in pouring rain - weather doesn't put us off camping though, as we are regular campers and used to pitching in rain) we were shown to very sloping pitch - even though site was almost empty, told which way we had to face our tent, even though it meant facing uphill and rain was making ground so wet that it was pouring in our porch groundsheet.
We were warned that any talking after 10.30 had to be kept to a whisper or we would be asked to leave.
The beach is beautiful and just a short, safe walk away.
This site/location could be perfect.

Me and my family have just returned back from a week away at this BASIC but pleasant site. We stayed in a tent and some pitches are on a slope and it is open to all elements of the weather so when it can be hot and very calm in Molfre or towns near by it can get quite windy on the fields of the camp site. The owners are friendly but strict about their rules
Me personally thought that the rules kept every one in line for eg you can't drive above5 miles, no audible noise out side your unit,no driving around after dark as car lights reflect on tents, no noise at all after 10.30. The showers are basic (porta cabins) and could do with a extra set of showers for the fields further down near the beach. This site is basic and has no play area for kids but the way the pitches are situated there is lots of room for them to play in the middle for football. The attraction that would probably bring me back to this site would be how near it is to the beautiful Molfre beach, and the lovely sea view we got as soon as we got out of our tent but I think I would only come back for a weekend as the washing facilities were certainly not up to a standard other sites I have been to in the past.
There is some lovely coastal walks close by tradour bay is worth a visit right near holyhead a lovely cove with caves for the kids to investigate the views are something you would get abroad it is lovely. Beaumaris castle is worth a visit and so is fowl farm for the kids they get to feed all the farm animals very good value for money. Stay away from the local chippy very greasy and expensive, the jolly fryer is a good one to go to.

On arrival to the site everything seemed nice, and we were offered a pitch, and then it was changed to a different pitch. After being shown the pitch we where expected to put our tent we immediately asked for somewhere else as I felt I may need mountaineering boots to get up the banking. On top of that my car just managed the hill at a struggle and the ground was damp at this point. There was no way I would have gotten my car to that point if it had been raining as it did do during out stay. I was then told that it was our pitch and to leave my car else where, (not on your Nelly was that going to happen). We did eventually get one that someone had not long left we accepted this as we were all tired after the 3 hour drive and just wanted to start our weekend. (this pitch was still on a slope but no where near as bad)
The beach was only a short walk away and is very pretty, with a little shop you can get drinks and ice creams from. The sand is nice and there is plenty to watch with the canoes and jet skis amongst other things going on.
The toilets and showers were clean and adequate but there are number codes Owners comment: Removed end of 2007 on the females. Also if you have children you must make sure your with them when you shower because if there is no adults with them the attendant will no be a happy bunny, as I found where I heard her talking to the boys who where showering (not messing about and they were being responsible)
There is a freezer to put your ice blocks, this is a fridge freezer in a caravan on site which is reception, also there is a charge of 40p. There is 95% electric hook up at the site so if all the non hook ups have gone you still have to pay the extra regardless or not.
Owners comment: It is 20p an item for the Fridge or Freezer
