I chose this site mainly because it was so near the Ferry Terminal ( I was off to the Killarney Bike festival) What a great welcome, I had pre- Booked. I was not expecting such a warm friendly welcome ( A Lone Biker on a Harley ) Was I surprised ! Truly a little Gem. Great welcome, Friendly faces. And A breakfast to die for. I would recommend this campsite to anyone especially fellow bikers hesding for Bike Festival or just a touring stopover.
There is a brilliant Chinese take-away Restaurant a short distance by car/bike which I alson par-took of. I was pretty wet and cold when I arrived and was pleased they had drying facilities on site Showers Superb. Wash up area great. Tent field super. All campsites should be judged against this sort of quality.
This is an excellent campsite and I would highly recommend for a peaceful break, with great sea views.
There are two toilet blocks and both are very clean, and are well above expectations with a bath and combined loo and shower cubicle which gives you loads of space!
We had our breakfast in the cafe one morning which was really nice.
The staff were all really friendly and very helpful.
This campsite is isolated, no shops or pubs are within walking distance. There are lovely walks from the campsite along the coastal path and towards South Stack. We had a great break and will definitely return.
We have been camping at Blackthorn Farm several times now, a family of four from Wolverhampton, always enjoyed it even in some rough weather. Christmas 2013 we wanted a few days away so for a change we booked the seagull cottage next to the B&B returning home early Christmas Eve. Hospitality is second to none at Blackthorn and when we arrived we were welcomed with all sorts of drinks, cookies (which the the kids loved)little touches that mean a lot. A cosy warm place with lovely fresh towels, bed sheets etc. Weather restricted us from the outdoors but never the less another superb break at Blackthorn. We will be back soon camping, weather permitting. If campings not your thing then stop at seagull cottage or the B&B you wont be disappointed. Thanks to all who work there see you soon, the Fosters xx
Just returned from a week at Blackthorn. Site and surrounding area lovely. Camping field although slightly sloping, well kept. Good size pitches and facilities, although previous reviews commented the toilets and washing up areas were spotless, we did have to request that the toilets were cleaned on the 4th day (which they were, but unfortunately the bin in the ladies toilets was still full on the day we left. ) Hand wash, and hair dryers in toilets, lots of really hot water in the washing up area, a real bonus! with a fridge/freezer and 2 plug sockets, great for phone charging/straightners. Washing machine and tumble dryer also available (only £1. 40 for a quick wash) Good size field for dogs and another for ball games.
Shop on site but did not use.
Recommend this site for a really relaxing break, great views and would return in the future.
This is just about our favourite site in the UK & one of the top three we have visited in Europe.
The site is just over 2 miles from Trearddur Bay, Holy Island, Anglesey & a similar distance from Holyhead.
The site comprises an upper field used mainly (but not exclusively) by tents & a lower field (with some hardstanding) used by motorhomes & caravans.
In between the two fields is the reception office, as well as a small shop & restaurant. The licensed restaurant is primarily for the use of B & B guests, but the owner of site, Richard, is happy for any of his guests to have breakfast or, in high season, an evening meal off a well varied menu.
Toilets & showers are of the highest standards, with a bottle of hand wash in both ladies' & gents' block.
For the children there is a well manicured & safe 'ball games' area.
Dogs are welcome on the site.
WiFi is free.
A downside to this place of perfection? Well, a car would be of assistance (or be prepared, if motorhoming, to take your van off-site) to get to the nearest stores in Trearddur or even the closest beaches. Other than this minor quibble, I would have no hesitation in recommending this site to anybody - whether tenter, caravanner, or motorhomer.
First good thing about this site is its very easy to get to. When we arrived we got a very warm welcome and was explained everything fully.
Our pitch was a good size and although not a super pitch we had our own water supply which was very useful and a nice surprise. The views were lovely and the site itself very peaceful, although full. The facilities were good, clean and plentiful. There was a small shop in the reception area which was really useful and they also did breakfasts, meals some nights and although we didn't have either we did have a cream tea which I would highly recommend.
The area was lovely with some absolutely stunning beaches and small coves.
We would not think twice about recommending this site and I'm sure we will return sometime.
The only negative about our stay was the electric was a little temperamental but once we got used to it we were fine.
Blackthorn Farm is probably the best camp site we have ever been to, the staff at the site are very friendly and welcoming with nothing being too much trouble.
The site is extremely clean and tidy with immaculate shower and toilet facilities which appear to be recently built. We never had to queue for the showers and there was lots of hot water.
The shower blocks have a fridge and a freezer and even on a bank holiday weekend there was a lot of space in them. There are also laundry facilities on site, however they are quite expensive.
We had a caravan pitch with our tent, so had access to a tap on our pitch and there was an electrical connection (which we did not use).
The views from the site are stunning looking at the coast of Holy Island. However this does mean on some days the site has strong winds blowing through. The site is a short drive from Holyhead with a 24 hour Tesco an ASDA and a Morrisons all 10 minute drive away.
The guest house has a shop and also does a cooked breakfast which is great when the weather is not so good and its reasonably priced.
We both can thoroughly recommend Blackthorn Farm and we will be coming back.
Booked this site for my partner's 40th birthday, we wanted to come to Angelsey to go scuba diving and this site was recommended by the local dive shop.
And we were not disappointed.
It is a lovely location on the headland of Holyhead, far enough away from the town itself, but near enough to drive or walk in for shopping. The only downside was the wind as the site is very exposed, but us campers are used to these things aren't we!
The owners were on holiday whilst we were there, but the people who were looking after the site couldn't have been more helpful. Our EHU cable wasn't quite long enough to reach the point, so they rummaged around for an extension. The only one he found was broken, but he was quite happy for us to try and mend it and keep it if it worked. Which it did. Saved us having to drive out somewhere the next day to buy one, but we did give it back at the end of the week in case anyone else needed it in the future.
The toilet and shower blocks are excellent, always clean, plenty of hot water (and free!) and had Radio 2 playing in them which we thought was fantastic, a real home from home feel.
We virtually had the site to ourselves for the first 4 days but then bank holiday arrived, along with loads of tenters and tourers and those that have seasonal pitches, but it didn't alter our opinion of the site. It was still quite peaceful and didn't have to queue for any of the facilities.
We didn't go into Holyhead town itself, just nipped to Asda and the dive shop so can't really comment on what the town is like. But we did have a lovely little dive at Mackenzie Pier at the old harbour.
I would highly recommend this site and we will hopefully be back at some point in the not too distant future.
We arrived on Good friday after using the Porth dafarch road from the end of the A55 at Holyhead. When using this road beware of 4 or 5 very large speed bumps as you pass between the two pubs, I managed to wreck my jockey wheel which meant a trip to Bevans in Llangefni to buy a new one.
A very warm welcome from the sites owners, lovely level pitch serviced with its own water tap and electric point and light in case you need it at night. Large pitch with plenty of room and view to die for!
The shower and toilet block are very clean with plenty of hot water. I didn't have to wait once even though the site seemed full. There seemed to be a new toilet block in the camping field but didn't inspect it to closely.
There is a small shop selling basics and you can order a breakfast for the next day as the owners run a B&B on site as well. Evening meals can also be ordered, it was fish and chips on the friday and curries, etc over the weekend.
There is a large ball game, etc field for use but a few children decided it would be better to play rugby outside our van for some reason? You can only blame the parents I suppose.
There's a lovely beach 1/2 a mile down the road, great for children, gently sloping and plenty of rock pools and access to the coastal path walk.
The nearest pub I would imagine would be in Holyhead or Trearddur Bay, we tend to eat in the van and get a bottle in if we fancy a wine but that's our choice.
South stack lighthouse is up the road and Holyhead about 1+1/2 miles away. There is also a nature park/walk near Holyhead.
All in all a lovely site and we would love to return one day soon.
Got delayed for 90 minutes due to an accident so arrived in the dark. Missed the turn off the A55 and I foolishly followed the sat nav which took us down Mill Lane which was VERY narrow. I missed the 'not suitable for wide vehicles' sign as it was behind a tree and it was dark. Do not make my mistake as you will damage your unit.
Finally arrived and they could not have been more welcoming. Showed us to the pitch which was a bit of a struggle getting on as the ground was soft after all the rain we had had. Once set up we went and had Fish and Chips in the dinning room which was excellent.
Facilities spotless and there was plenty of hot water in the gents for a good shower. The area is very quiet apart from the odd seagull and the views across the bay are spectacular.
Great site and definitely recommend it. You will need some for of transport as we thought it was a bit far to walk into Holyhead or get to the retail park area
Highly recommend this campsite - as long as you have a tent that can withstand some breezes and occasional strong winds.
We arrived to an incredibly friendly greeting at reception and were given a handout of dos and don't s of the site and explanation of the food available at breakfast or evening meal - even for campers.
We could pitch where we liked and despite it probably being a busy time we had loads of space between tents which I have only experienced once at another site (Hirdre Fawr - Nefyn). The views are incredible. Sea views in two directions.
The shower facilities were excellent. Heated in the evening and never any queuing at the times me and my daughter used them. Clean and nice hand wash products. The hair driers are quite weak though so prepare for at least ten mins to dry shoulder length hair!
There is a covered, clean dishwashing area with fridge, freezer and a couple of extra sockets. One of these had a mirror above so I used this for straightening my hair (I'm not vain - just have very unruly hair)!
We decided to take the breakfast option in the main B&B and have a full Welsh for £6 which was delicious - excellent service and with the owner Richard assisting with orange juice pouring. Conversations indicated a number of return visitors. All very friendly and laid back. Dogs were allowed in the dining room which we thought was cute but we noticed one guest looking quite judgemental.
We had to leave early as our Vango tent poles broke in the wind but two fellow campers came to our rescue to help us pack up. Really indicative of the location and the type of visitors at this site. There were no noisy sorts on this site and no awful social clubs that seem to be cropping up on once peaceful campsites.
It's definitely a site I would highly recommend. The site seemed to attract nice families, couples and as a single female with child I felt very safe and confident I could get help if required, unlike many campsites I have tried.
In terms of nearby for provisions there is an Asda in Holyhead and at J2 of A55 an out of town complex with large Tesco and Morrisons and other large DIY chains for any urgent items.
Would highly recommend visits to: Holyhead maritime museum (and the bistro next door), South Stack lighhouse, RSPB at Elin's Tower, Porthfarch beach, Rhosneigr (which has great bistros, restaurants, a Fat Face and great beach), Plas Newydd for the gardens (the house is disappointing and has quite rude staff).
This is a top class cc site it has everything going for it. It is the best site i have stayed at in anglesey. Fantastic scenery and lovely views, and walks : great location.
Near to port dafarch, trearddur bay. All the amenities are first class. Immaculate spotless clean
Showers, toilets, with piped music plus washers dryers.
Everything on site for family's and all to enjoy their stay. A big bonus is the restaurant. Selling and providing good wholesome food. At reasonable prices.
The cc fields are well laid out and cut and lawned. Plenty of water taps, spacious pitches for caravans and tents
Near to holyhead and retail park shops. We stayed here whilst walking the isle of anglesey coastal path, on a very wet and windy may day.
And received a very warm welcome reception from alex and richard, who were very kind and helpful. Their customer care is first class.
Just returned from a 2 night stay here and really enjoyed it- efficient and welcoming check in - the young lady showed us the available pitches as we had not booked in advance - the pitch was a great size, wonderful views out too sea.
The amenities are excellent - lovely warm shower block, very clean, lots of hot water, we had breakfast at the B&B which was fab -
it is brilliant to have the farmhouse accommodation available as an alternative option if any of your family do not wish to camp -
the town is a 30 minute walk away, but there are many small coves closer -
we walked into Holyhead a very pleasant 2 mile walk down a minor road - great views - Dont dismiss Holyhead - it does have some redeeming features - the new Marina and promenade is lovely - excellent cafe/ bar at the end of it - nice sunny spot to look out to sea from.
We will definitely be back to stay at this campsite, absolutely lovely.
The facilities on this site are excellent, the shower area was very clean and a second block had just been built when we visited.
Many of the pitches looked like they were seasonal pitches and were not occupied on the two nights that we stayed. We therefore never had to queue for anything. I was a bit disappointed with the position of the pitch we were allocated as the immediate view was not brilliant. However, the campsite is surrounded by amazing scenery, it was there to enjoy a few steps away from the tent so this was just a minor disappointment.
We visited the site because of its close proximity to south stacks and because of the bird watching and walking in the area and we were not disappointed. There is a large supermarket 5 minutes away by car. We didn't find the local pub, didn't see one close by but we took our own supply of wine with us anyway so not a problem.
The greeting from the staff was welcoming and the atmosphere on the site was friendly. We would visit again.
