 We arrived the week after Easter and all that rain! Richard (the owner) was very welcoming and showed us around the site and its facilities before showing us to our pitches.
The tent field where he originally planned for us to go was very muddy indeed and any chance of returning from the toilet / shower block clean was non existent - especially with 2 kids! After the look of horror on our face he showed us to the top field which would not normally be opened until June and to our relief it was dry and not a muddy patch in sight!
We had fantastic views over the sea toward Treaddur Bay and the coastal path was within 10 minutes reach. The closest beach was about a 15min walk, and great for the kids.
The facilities were clean and in the ladies we always had hot showers. However my husband had a few cold showers and he even tried going at different times in the day without too much success.
We didn't try the BBQ on the Saturday night as we enjoyed having our own, but it did seem to be a popular night. Would I go back - yes, although I think the showers need to be sorted and it does lack a playground for the kids.
Also it was great watching the planes and helicopters from RAF Valley who were training overhead during the week.

We've just had a great weekend at this site. We have two children who loved it. Its toilet facilities are excellent for families as they have a bath and family unit.
You can also buy a lovely cooked breakfast and fish and chips on a Friday which I would recommend.
The owners were cheery and very helpful.
If it had a playground I would give it 10/10 all round.
Can't wait to go back.

We were here for a week from the 1st Aug to 8th Aug 2009. Initial bad weather showed how exposed the site is to the SW prevailing winds, however the ground drains well but storm pegs are strongly advisable.
The owners originally came from the building trade and have been in business here for 2 years. When they took over the campsite it was run down and badly maintained. The couple are very enthusiastic and deserve every success and support they can get and for this season they invested in building a new shower / toilet / laundry block. For the week we were here though, these new facilities were put to the test as the season got underway and by the time we left it was beginning to reveal various shortfalls. The boiler for the hot water failed, the vinyl floors were buckling up from the damp and the shower fittings were falling off the walls.
Its a great site, great location, and I'd gladly go back there again and give them a second chance because I've every confidence that their attitude is in the right place to make it work. I think for this winter, it'll be back to the drawing board as far as the facilities are concerned. My advice would be more toilets, more washing up bays, a tiled non slip floor, and stronger shower fittings.

A very professionally run site which keeps the feel of a small operation. The facilities are first rate, spotless with loads of hot water. Showers are really good and the addition of a family shower room is great.
The owners are very helpful and friendly and offer a Fish and Chip supper on Friday night, bring your own wine. Breakfast is served in the site restaurant and is very good.
The site location is superb; being 15-20 minute stroll down to the local beach and the coastal path is easily accessible from the site. South Stack lighthouse is a 10 minute drive away and is well worth a visit. We will definitely go back here, first rate site.

I'm sat on the site while writing this review. We're staying a couple of nights in our Talbot Express and I can highly recommend the place. Although it's a professionally run site, it still has the relaxed feel of an small site.
The facilities are first class. The breakfast is impressive and good value. There's a small beach about 15 min stroll down the road, but dogs aren't allowed if you are with canines.
You can also easily get onto the Anglesey coast road if you want to. We walked this to South Stack, took us about an hour (ish) each way with a wandering pooch (dogs not allowed on the South Stack island for some reason).
So, £20 a night for two people, van and dog with EHU and water outlet on-pitch, lovely location, good facilities (there's even a bath), top spot.

Just spent a night here over a slightly damp weekend but thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very friendly and helpful staff and a nice site with sea views. Barbecue on the Saturday night (£10 to eat as much as you like and you bring your own booze) brings all the campers together which is a great idea as it makes the experience a sociable one (although that doesn't seem to be required in the camping community as everyone is very friendly anyway!).
We didn't ask for a grass pitch and would probably make a point of doing this next time as we had gravel which wasn't quite as nice.
Showers and toilets very clean and really excellent facilities. Freezer available too if required. Great location and all in all a really fab stay. Only downside is that it was a little remote with no shops etc in the very local vicinity, but I guess that is coming from city folk and we did want to escape, which is exactly what we got.

Stayed here for 4 nights. Really enjoyed the site. Very friendly owners who were always happy to help with any queries or questions. Facilities were in great condition and kept clean. The Friday night fish and chips and the Saturday night BBQ were great, especially the coleslaw. The location is ideal for visiting Treaddur Bay or Holyhead.
When the weather wasn't ideal we got in the car to visit Beaumauris.
Our 3 year old enjoyed running around, hearing and seeing the rooster and chicken in the morning.
Would recommend this site to anyone.

Bad weather ruined our stay which was a shame because this is a great site run by enthusiastic owners. The whole area is worth a look, with loads of little rocky coves for water sports, fishing, rock pooling and sunbathing.
The facilities are clean and modern and the site mostly level with various small hills and outcrops to make it look scenic. The staff are helpful and the food comes highly recommended. Despite seeming nicely remote the supermarkets of Holyhead are only fifteen minutes drive, so you get the best of both worlds.
Will definitely return to this site again.

This was our second visit this year, this site is a little gem, the owners are all friendly. Richard, nigel and their mum cannot help you enough. There are some great walks to do, or just chill out and take in the fantastic sea views.
We had the real tasty fish n chips again on a Friday evening and again as good as our first visit. Book yourself in for their full welsh breakfast it keeps me going all day. We are returning next year.
We like to do Anglesey at least once a year and have now found a great site for a base.

We stayed on this site for 3 nights at the end of August. The owner and staff were friendly and the breakfast we had on the last morning was lovely. This is a large site that appears to cater mostly for caravans (most pitches have electric hook-up) and some tents. We weren't allowed to pick our own pitch, and we were put in a field with caravans (the owner said that the field with the tents in was overflowing).
Plus Points:
Own drinking water supply on pitch
Electric Hook-up if needed
Free ice pack freezer
Free Showers
Free hairdryer in shower block
Great Views
Friendly staff and owner
Level and stone free pitch for tent
Negative Points:
Couldn’t choose pitch so we were left very exposed to the high winds on the last night, 2 poles were damaged on the tent so I wouldn’t use this site in a tent unless the weather report is good!
Noise levels were high on Friday and Saturday nights due to Fish & Chips and Barbecue nights (we were also kept up until 2:00am by inconsiderate and very noisy neighbours one night)
As the majority of the campers were in caravans they stayed up later than us (as we were in a tent we tend to go to bed quite early) and therefore contributed to the noise level
Pitch very close to the toilet/shower block, washing up area and bins, so again lots of noise at night
Inadequate number of toilets/showers as mentioned by previous reviewers (2 toilets and 2 showers in ladies and men’s) I am reliably informed by my husband that the men’s block was not kept clean
The surrounding area had plenty to do, Holyhead and Trearddur Bay both very close by. South Stack within cycling distance and well worth a visit (the RSPB staff were great!). Great little beach within walking distance, and other attractions on Anglesey too; Sea Zoo, Beaumaris Jail and Castle, Model Village etc.

This was our third visit to the site, I must say that they have always been friendly and very helpful on your arrival. The only let down is the shower facilities, they just can't accommodate the volume of campers on the site. I really do hope they update the facilities in the near future, because the views are fantastic and Richard and family are very welcoming. I love the place but look forward to the quieter times. Please don't let this put you off visiting, it's a lovely site, with a lovely warm atmosphere.

When we visited this camp site it was very windy and exposed. The pitches were nicely spaced. The ground was also sodden which put us off a bit but the main down side was the toilet and shower block - clean but a little inadequate for a site this size - although they have topped up with a few portloos. Not very pretty but useful if you're desperate.
The little cove and beach nearby was great for the kids and only a short walk. South Stack is also spectacular - and the folks at the little RSPB centre will help you spot the wildlife with their telescopes.

Stayed here for a couple of nights at the end of July 2008. For most of the year the site is made up of a number of small fields, all overlooking the sea and with electric hook ups. For a very limited period (busy periods) the site is allowed to open up quite a large field with no hook ups and for tents only. We stayed on this field with plenty of room and still had some magnificent views. The owner has only been here 18 months and the progress is obvious.
Plus Points -
Quiet site and the owner is very friendly and helpful and nothing seems to be a problem for him. Magnificent panoramic views. Non regimented, we were allowed to pick our own spot to pitch. Allowed to take our dog and happy to see that dogs were restricted to lead at all times.
Negative Points -
Only the facilities, with just one small toilet/shower block which although relatively new was already outdated. Separate mens and ladies section with only 2 sinks, 2 toilets and 2 showers in each section. I am sure the owner is aware of the problem as he has installed 4 portaloos.
Information -
This site is on a headland so is open to strong winds. Would advise you have some storm pegs just in case. No playground. Nice small beach 6/10th mile. Nearest pub about 2 miles. Cooked breakfast, barbecue nights, fish and chips nights. On site shop limited to soft drinks and ice cream but large supermarkets in Holyhead (about 4 miles) and smaller general stores in Treadour bay about 2.5 miles. Expect to be entertained by aircraft from RAF Valley.
Give this site a try but just be aware of the limited toilet facilities.

What a great site this was,the owners were so helpful, they couldnt do enough for you, they would always stop and chat etc. it also has a b&b, which friends of our party stayed in, they said rooms were excellent, breakfasts to die for and a great choice. If you didnt want to cook breakfast in your van or tent then tell them the day before and go and have a full welsh breakfast for £4.95.
Friday nights is fish n chips night very nice indeed £6.95 saturdays was barbeque night£10.
Most pitches have a sea view, the site is well laid out. Its a great base for exploring the island, nice walks as well, south stack lighthouse is close by. There is a nice walk close by, walk out the site and turn right then take first right and follow walk signs it takes you right down to the coastal cliffs.
My only small downside is the toilets, they were very clean plenty of hooks etc, but only 2 loos and 2 showers, I know us caravaners have our own loos but most of us use on camp facilities, I did have to queue for a loo. These new owners have only been there a year,so lets hope they extend the loo block and concrete the area around it as its all loose stone.
But apart from that small gripe these new owners are so pleasant and friendly, as is all the staff we met, will be going back here each year from now on. Its not often you find a site like this, it makes your stay more pleasant.
A nice place to eat out is a bar/hotel called the anchorage, go out of site straight down to trearddur, turn right at junction, it's about a mile and half on right side. Nice meals good prices.
