We have been there 3 times in the past 2 years, enjoyed it every time. We have 2 young children and it is a great place for children and making friends.
All of the rules are common sense and staff helpful. Lligwy beach is adjacent, good during the day and great for sunsets at night.
All facilities in Benllech and Moelfre. A bit limited in the rain, but fantastic in the sun.
We spent a week here during the jubilee and as said below the weather was very mixed. This site is in an ideal location apart from the fact that its far from a large enough supermarket so shop before you go. I would love to see this site/aera in some sunshine.
As for the facilities, yes the loos on the field are portaloo's but they have their own sink and dryer inside they were always clean even during rainy times. If they didn't take your fancy then the main block by reception is not too far from any pitch.
I read the reviews on this site prior to booking and saw complaints about the rules. The rules are not anything to worry about to most, you are told where to pitch and the area is clearly marked, this is for fire safety. The same rules as every site should adhere to. Other rules like no noise after a certain time and clean up after yourself in the shower only make this site better. If you can show respect to the people you are sharing a site with and expect the same back you will love this site. If you want to drink beer until 2am with your music on and leave sand and mud in the shower and be packed in like sardines then I'd book somewhere else.
This was our second visit to Dafarn Rhos and will not be our last. This site is excellent, we have no complaints at all. If your looking for a well organised site Dafarn Rhos comes recommended by my wife & also my Family who have stayed on this site also.
The Owner and the Staff run the site very well and everybody is made welcome. The toilets, showers, grass areas, all looked after well. The View is something you will always remember Excellent.
You may think when making a Booking Site Rules are Strict, they are but its the same for everybody and ensures you will have peaceful nights sleeping, and Site staff always vigilant of what's going which in turn is looking after your safety ensuring every body enjoys themselves. Jan is a wonderful Lady and will always make you welcome. I have Toured for almost Fifty Years and this site I rate very good.
We stayed here for jubilee week. The site is beautifully located right next to the beach with access via a coded-gate.
Our two families and dogs had a great time. The weather was incredibly mixed from torrential rain and wind to glorious sunshine which allowed us to swim in the sea (honestly).
The wardens were always helpful and friendly with none of the pettiness others have experienced.
The showers were always hot and the toilets clean.
The kids did not worry about not having a play area as the huge open space in the middle of each field acted as a shared play area.
There is a 2 minute walk through the pedestrian gate onto the beach - also a small cafe on the beach car park which was open at weekends while we were there although I assume in busy periods its open all week.
Toilets / showers on site extremely clean whenever we used them.
There are many hours of walking in all directions - we now have two tired dogs. The site dog shower came in especially useful.
Tried a few hours fishing from the next bay north along the coast - was unlucky.
Wardens very friendly, helpful and obviously care about maintaining the peace and quality of this site. We shall return.
Just returned home from a lovely weekend at dafarn rhos campsite. It is a lovely well kept site, The views are spectacular. The toilets are very clean although the showers are a little small. Only one gripe for me is the many rules and regulations. They want extra cash off you for bringing visitors onto the site. The visitors we had just wanted to see what the site was like for a visit themselves. They were immediatly put off by the warden charging them £5 each for a few hours visit. However the lady in reception is a gem. She is an asset to the site.
If you are noisy, have no respect for others and can't control your pets and your kids this is not the site for you.
On the other hand if you want a well run site with helpful staff, good facilities, close to the beach with great views, this is the site for you.
I have read some reviews moaning about too many rules that are enforced, that is what attracted me, the knowledge that I would not be disturbed by late night noise and rowdy behaviour.
The site is in a beautiful setting, the facilities are good, although some are portable cabins and don't look too stylish from the outside, inside they are really good.
The site is also very secure with security gates and cameras and the site wardens are really helpful.
Take note of the directions you are given when you book and take £20 in cash for the deposit for the electronic key fob you will be given.
We have just returned from a long weekend at this site with our touring caravan. The site is absolutely stunning with beautiful views across the coast and beach.
It has everything for a proper camping holiday and we really felt as though we were away from the rat race. Our children really enjoyed the site as whilst there was no play area with swings etc.
The space and fields were the best play area they could have had. They spent all day running around enjoying the space and slopes of the field.
At night my husband and I just enjoyed a glass of wine looking at the view which I would never get tired of looking at.
The beach is very close and again offers everything a beach should i. E sand, rock pools and safe water.
I read the other reviews about this site but any negatives (we didn't have any) are irrelevant because of the setting and the beach.
Granted we didn't use the facilities, which are basic compared to other sites but the toilets were very clean.
To sum up we will be returning again and think this may become a firm favourite with us because of what it offers.
This was our 3rd visit and always expect to fall foul of the rules and fall out of love with the place. However, it hasn't happened so far, fingers crossed. Yes, there are lots of rules and lots of mostly needless signs around the campsite with warnings and reminders. Only niggles so far have been precision about where the caravan should be pitched (on 2nd visit) and not being allowed to walk dog to information hut with me (on 3rd visit). At the same time, the rules do mean any dodgy folk are put off. Personally, if I owned a campsite, I wouldn't have as many rules, although on the other side, I some times appreciate the benefits of them. Also, to be honest, you don't usually hear much about them after the induction.
Facilities on site are very, very clean, though basic. Always think more money should be invested on these.
Anyway, after all that, why would anyone come back? It's simple really. The wonderful beach (dogs all year) that borders the site. Absolutely stunning! There is also access to the coastal path - 45 minute walk along the path to Moelfre (it's far less by walking along road) is stunning and rewarded by decent pub serving food or small restaurant (Ann's Pantry). Moelfre also has cafe/shop/newsagents. Also from site, walk to ancient village of Din Lligwy.
So, to summarise, lots of rules but lots of great views too. You pay your money, you take your choice!
Just come back from our 1st trip this year staying for a long weekend and have nothing but praise for this site.
Other reviews state about there being too many rules, it has no more rules than any other site, only here the rules are enforced (when needed) which is a good thing in my opinion.
How many sites state no noise after 10:30 only to find your awake till 3am by other campers with no respect for the rest of the site.
Each pitch is allocated with a 6m fire break so the site doesn't pack you in.
There's no car movement after 8pm on the site (another good thing), but if you wish to come back to the site later than 8pm there's allocated parking just outside the main gate.
The site itself is right on the beach with it's own access via a key fob with great views out to sea and the staff are really easy going and helpful.
A great site with a great location, unless you want to camp with a big group or have lots of local facilities. We've visited every year for the last 6 years at least and enjoyed every stay.
The staff are friendly and helpful, the site is very clean and gently sloping. Toilets, washing and laundry facilities are great and always clean.
The beach which is a gem (which is just over the hedge) is perfect for young children with a gentle slope which even when far out your never deeper than waist height.
Basically if you have pre-teenage children who require no more than a football and a beach to keep them entertained and don't want to be up till late drinking with a large group, this is a perfect relaxing site.
This site is great if you want a quiet holiday in beautiful surroundings.
Open the gate on the beach field & you have access to a wonderful beach, & some great walks.
The site is well maintained & is very secure.
The only downside is that the toilets in the beach field consist of two portaloos, which I must say are kept very clean, & some of the pitches are on a bit of a slope.
The showers by reception are free & have adjustable water temperature but the cubicles are quite tight compared to other sites that we have visited, Again they were always very clean.
The showers on the top field 3 off were in portaloo pods, which were OK but you had nowhere to put your dry clothes in there, only a hook on the back of the door.
We found the people running the site very friendly & helpful.
Choose this site because of its beautiful location right next to LLigwy beach.
Pro's - Beautiful location the beach views and amazing. The costal walks are pretty and there are places to drive to like Benllech, Almwch and Beaumaris all worth a visit. The side gate from the site onto the beach is fabulous only a 1 minute walk. Co-op and Spa in Benllech stock all your essentials whilst there is an Asda in Llangefri
Con's- When I arrived I was given instructions through the intercom and guided to where I should park etc. I went into reception and was told deposit for the key fobs had gone up from £10 to £20 without notice after booking.
The owner then gave the rules and asked me sign to say I'd read them. She then made sure I said I wasn’t having any visitors and told me where to pitch
We were shown where the boundaries of our pitch were and then left to set up. We were staying with family in the next caravan and we had a family emergency crop up so my brother came to the site to be with his family and was told he could not come in and see us and was not allowed to stay on the site. We had to meet him at the beach and go to the pub for tea!
There are 2 toilet blocks, there is 1 with 6 toilets and 7 showers and another portacabin with 5 toilets in and then 3 free standing portaloo style showers and 2 other toilets. There was often a queue for the showers. I once queued for 40 minutes.
It was also very frustrating that if you arrived back at the campsite after sunset you had to park in the late arrival car park and you were told on check in your car must be retrieved by 10am the following morning. We stayed out later than planned one night and come back to park in this car park.
We have just returned from 5nights at this site. We hadn't intended to come here but as it was a last minute thing we struggled to get in most sites.
Location - perfect for beach lovers as your right next to the beach. We walked to the nearest village, moelfre, a few times by the coastal path, your looking at around an hour, we had a pram, a mountain terrain pram as we are seasoned walkers and it's tough going we had to lift up and over many stiles etc.
But you can walk the road in 20 mins. Very pretty but not much there, a chippy, a pub a shop and anns pantry cafe we were there for lifeboat day which I must say was a fab event.
The views from the campsite were stunning but there is nothing there for children, my son is only 8mths so we weren't looking for that type of site.
On arrival we had to pay £20 for a key fob which is given back when you leave so take cash as there's no cashpoint. It has gated access which does make it safe. Pitches are only located around the outside of the site and they are very strict with markers that you stay within them, which we thought was good as you haven't got anyone pitching on top of you.
We think this site is overpriced and we were disappointed we paid £23 per night for portable loos and cabins. There is no brick shower block. The pot wash was 2 sinks (unless you trekked up to reception for the other 2) and I have to add I have never ever had to queue 30mins to wash my dishes.
When we arrived the lady walked us down to our pitch which was backed on to the pot wash and portaloos, not really what you want with an 8mth old and portable loo doors banging all night. I think she realised and when we had the tent up she came back down and moved us, a pain but worth it, even if we had to re pitch in the rain.
We had an amazing time on the beach and the shower on the edge of the site was a great addition to wash the sand off your feet, but overall this is a overpriced site. We have paid the same in many sites all over the lakes and have brick shower buildings.
Finally I wouldn't recommend to people with older children as they are very strict, we were informed we were too loud at 10:30pm
Won't be visiting this site again but will defo be back to this area. Beautiful beaches and coastline to walk.
This was our first visit to Dafarn Rhos and we chose the site specifically because of the rules and because the site offered disabled facilities. The rules as read on the campsite are clear and to the point. We personally did not object to the reminders when arriving on site because that leaves everyone clear as to their own responsibilities and is sadly necessary because despite this there are always those who do not think it applies to them - illustrated by a tent neighbour who had the radio on loud from 5. 30 one morning - this was dealt with appropriately to the relief and appreciation of those of us in that location. The enforcement of the rules resulted in a wonderful 2 weeks stay at Dafarn Rhos.
The site is spotless, dogs always under control, peace, quiet and a location to die for. The pitches are ample and because of the firebreaks you do not feel hemmed in by other units. We thought the price was more than fair for the site location and facilities.
The site location is stunning - from our tent it took less than a minute to access Lligwy beach with its sweet little cafe - great cake and good bacon butties etc. If you are prepared to walk a little further up the coastal path you can access other beaches and have them mostly to yourself - lovely sand and great swimming. The walking in the area is good - get the coastal walks book from the cafe - and aimed at all levels.
Nearby Moelfre has a good general store and is as pretty as you could wish for. It also has a pub, and a cafe / restaurant called Ann's Pantry which serves superb food both inside and outside in its picturesque garden. A little further on Benllech has a good selection of shops, a doctors surgery, and great fish and chips. Also local to the campsite a few minutes drive away is the Pilot Inn, great value family meals, a playbus for the children and a great roast beef dinner on a sunday. Other highlights for us was a trip to the other side of the island to South Stack - RSPB - and the drive there is lovely, and a day in Beaumaris, including a boat trip to Puffin Island with stunning views of puffins, other seabirds and a seal colony, was a treat.
From the campsite it takes only minutes up a local lane to see the remains of a Romano British settlement and a little further on a superb example of an ancient burial stone dating back to 3000BC. This campsite offered us easy access to everything we needed for the perfect holiday, in fact, the best holiday we have had in years.
On a personal note I have a stoma as a result of having to have my bladder removed a couple of years ago. Good clean, facilities are an absolute must for me and at one point I questioned whether it was possible to go camping and be able to maintain the strict level of care and hygeine necessary for my continued well being. This is where I cannot praise Dafarn Rhos enough. I was given access to the disabled facilities which were exemplary and was able to have a holiday with not one moments anxiety about my stoma care - this compares with a horrendous experience last year on another campsite. Vital to this was the warmth, friendliness and helpfulness of the staff which was great. I have genuinely tried to think of a down side during our stay but I simply can't other than to say I wish it hadn't rained the day we left, soggy tent and camping stuff not ideal to travel home with but hey, thems the breaks. All there is left to say is if you want a clean, well run site, with peace, quiet and no hassle from your fellow campers then go to Dafarn Rhos, you won't regret it.

We have been there 3 times in the past 2 years, enjoyed it every time. We have 2 young children and it is a great place for children and making friends.
