 Lovely clean, tidy site but far too many rules and reinforced verbally whenever the opportunity arose!
When we booked we were told that they only had pitches with electricity left and although we didn't need electricity we were still charged for it! On leaving, we were told in a very curt manner that we owed them money for a gazebo they said we didn't book - not true. It turned out to be an expensive weekend for us
Although the site was not anywhere near full they pitched us next door to someone else, the field was huge but everyone put in the same corner
Walkie-talkies always in evidence and the place was very secure. Had to be off the site by 11. 00 sharp!
Would choose another site next time as we didn't really care for the attitude of the people running it. Apart from that it was brilliant.

Forget about the rules, they are there for your protection & enjoyment. Wardens were helpful and whilst it would be nice to choose your own pitch, we we were allocated a perfectly acceptable one on the office field.
Excellent for beach and coastal walks, there is a lovely walk into Moelfre.
There are 3 mini markets in Benlech and those that want a supermarket, there is is a Waitrose at Menai Bridge.
Good digital TV reception.
Watch out for the speed cameras. I was done (without the caravan) but did not know it but fortunately can opt for a speed awareness course to avoid the points, and this can be taken locally to where I live. The RSPB at South Stack is well worth a visit as is Beaumauris. We did the Puffin Island boat trip but did not see a Puffin. There were however plenty of birds to see.
In all a fantastic week, plenty to do and never bored.
Will definitely go again and will use Dafarn Rhos.

We stayed here during the last bank holiday in May. My wife, 13 year old daughter myself and 1 dog. We booked this campsite because of the reviews and because of the afore mentioned rules.
These rules are not draconian they are good common sense camping rules that some people seem to have forgotten. They are there so everyone can enjoy themselves. And we certainly did. The site is very clean and tidy.
The pitches are well laid out with plenty of space between units. There are water points 1 between two pitches so no need to carry water far. The toilets and shower facilities were spotless and always had plenty of hot water.
The grounds are well kept. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. The site is secured access by a electronic fob which you get from reception.
The beach is less than a stone throw away and what a beach! There is a small cafe and toilets at the beach.
The coastal walk to Moelfre is well worth the walk (to the pub). We could not fault this site and will definitely be returning very soon!

Very well positioned site, near a beautiful beach, but found the rules far to restricting. We are a couple with 2 small dogs and were visiting the site with another couple in a motorhome with 2 very well behaved girls. There are rules for everything, we likened our stay to a concentration camp, far too restrictive for us. The girls were told off for playing with a soft ball in a field separate from any caravans or campers, we were barked at for positioning our motorhome 2 inches out of place it was just rules rules rules,
We camp all over europe with not a spot of trouble but this site drove us insane. We wouldn't return again, I would prefer to wild camp in the car park out side the camp for £10 per night and enjoy the beach that way!

I spent a week at this campsite during changeable weather in May. The site is beautifully located overlooking the beach and bay and is ideal for those who want a quiet and peaceful break.
There are several good sized fields divided by hedgerows for different types of unit and the place has a natural feel. The site has good toilet, shower, potwash and laundry facilities and the reception sells a few essentials which you might have forgotten.
Lovers of the natural outdoor scene will be at home here as the strict rules regarding no noise at night time and no driving on site after dark guarantee a good nights sleep in readiness for an early start for a days walking along the beautiful Anglesey coastlines.
There are lovely coastal paths nearby allowing access to the village of Moelfre and good access by road to all of Anglesey's many wonders.
Those who want to stay up carousing till late might be best to look for a more commercial site. All in all a great site for more traditional campers and anyone wanting a quiet get away from it all holiday. I shall certainly be returning.

Lovely site, had peace and quiet for the time we were there, that's were the rules come in, but most of them are only common sense and courtesy to others.
Everything is kept tidy and clean.
If you want everything on your door step don't go here as the pub, chip shop and small shop are a good mile away, if you want a peaceful break with great views this is the site.
Staff very friendly and helpful. Will return one day.

We received a warm welcome when we arrived at the campsite and for the duration of our stay the staff were friendly and very helpful, especially with regards to suggesting places to see.
The campsite facilities were well maintained and the beach was just 100 yards away. There were a number of good cycling routes nearby and the coastal path walks either way were well worth it. An improvement in my opinion would be if the pot wash and laundry facilities had slightly earlier and later opening hours but otherwise a highly recommended campsite.

This site has a lot of rules which is initially off-putting but given the location I would return.
There is one top field and 3 bottom fields. Next time, I'm going to insist on booking that we are on the field that is furthest from the beach if it's going to be windy
Lligwy beach is great for kite-surfing only occasionally when there is an on shore wind and winds reached 40mph last night. I cannot impress how bad the wind got: everyone who had a windbreak woke to find it collapsed or destroyed; we had to re-tighten all pegs/guys three times overnight and; some of our tent pegs were pulled out entirely by the wind. We left early the wind was so bad.
A member of staff insisted we pitch within a certain area and we pitched facing the sea which on reflection was madness given that the persistent wind came directly off the sea but this was the same person who asked us to re-park as we'd parked slightly wonky.
It would be better if it was assumed you understood the written list of rules and that a verbal refresh of some of the rules within 5 minutes of arriving on site doesn't set a welcoming tone.
As mentioned in the blurb, there is an obligatory fire break between each pitch which means that you are never too close to other tents. There isn't a dedicated play area but there was plenty of room to play in front of the tents. There is a small information centre at the site which includes tourist leaflets, a laundrette, recycling and crucially, a weather report. Wifi can be purchased for £2 a day.
There are toilets, showers, potwash and bins on the top field (including disabled), two toilets and a potwash between the first and second bottom fields and toilets and showers on the third bottom field. I was expecting the showers to have lengthy queues but it worked out okay. The toilets remained clean despite heavy use. The Potwash was open from 8am to 9pm which seems to be because the site has heavy emphasis on considerate use of facilities (ie Not being noisy late at night). Almost each pitch has a water point and there were three waste water sites. There's also an outdoor shower for cleaning off your wetsuit. Most of the pitches seemed to have electric hook up.
The campsite is practically on the beach. The site is secure by means of a fob (pedestrian and car gates (£10 deposit)). I'd recommend taking a windbreak to the beach (the old style 70s stripy ones with the wooden poles fared the best) or a beach tent. The beach is sandy rather than pebbly.
A 45 minute walk along the coastal path takes you to Moelfre but it's not suitable terrain for pushchairs as I think walking around the road isn't very safe as the road is winding. There's a pub in Moelfre and a restaurant (Ann's Pantry - book in advance as it's small). There's also chip shop in Moelfre (open 5pm-9pm).
We also visited the Sea Zoo. It's about £7 entry for adults but worth it. We spent a good couple of hours inside, the cafe's pretty good, the gift shop has a wide range of souvenirs and there's a free outdoor play area, crazy golf (£2.50) and a free bouncy castle.
Site location: Great, loved being by the sea
Site facilities: Good, always clean
Value for money: £23 a night which seemed a bit steep to me given camping's supposed to be a cheap holiday
Customer service: Lost marks for the reminders about the rules but gain marks for having a zero-tolerance attitude to obnoxious campers
Child friendliness: High score here as it was a pleasant place to stay for children. They could do with a separate recreation ground however.

My family (2 adults 3 children under 9 years) visited site for 5 nights, upon arrival we paid remaining balance were greeted by 2 friendly ladies who assisted us to our pitch which was on the lower middle field. We were informed by another pleasant man who shown us where to site caravan and park car etc.
The site is beautiful set just a short walk to the beach, it is very well maintained grass cut daily, bins emptied daily, toilets cleaned daily.
After a night of staying we then had problems with this boot camp style site. Were asked not to fly kite in centre of field with children, my 9 1/2 year sons were told off for riding bike in upper field then later that evening we were told that we were being too noisy playing cards inside our caravan. Our next door neighbours were told to stop talking whilst sat outside the tent as they could be heard outside tent !
There were 4 showers in the mens block which only 1 shower actually worked, others were too hot or too cold.
You will need a car to go to local shop and chippy, roads not very safe to walk with children.
If you want to be asleep in bed by 10. 30pm then this is the site for you with lots of rules and regulations. Dont get me wrong have been on loads of sites and am happy to oblige to site rules but found this very old school.
We would not want to come back to this site, as we have been to others with just good facilities for less the price per night.

Short Wheel Base Land Rover with fold out bed accepted with a smile.
Very nice campsite, with fantastic views and a nice beach walk at night! Site was unfortunately very, very heavily governed by lots of little house rules which were off putting. We were the only ones in our field and were given a pitch number, though the best one in the site!
We were absolutely ravaged by torrential, driving salt rain that night, our tarp almost completely blown away! The next day, I was soaked to the skin and decided to find a place for breakfast instead of cook a fry up for me and my girlfriend.
But first, we decided we must use the tumble dryers, which were expensive and didn’t do anything at all, after two tokens worth, our clothes were soaked through.
We saw the site in a bad light, the rain had really tarnished the surface, but I would definitely return in summer months, site is recommended.
Footnote:
We had Breakfast at a place in Red Wharf Bay, fantastic cafe and restaurant!

We dropped our camper off for my friend to use, met by very friendly warden who helped find blocks and to manoeuvre the camper, we had a slightly sloping pitch but it wasn't a problem. We decided that when we returned the following weekend we would stay over if we could. My friend and her family had an excellent few days completely dry and sunny they loved the site and location.
We went back on the following Saturday and decided to take my 82 year old Mother, she had a bit of difficulty with the location of the showers and toilets (uphill)but the wardens did offer to help her.There is a shop and it would be good if this sold essentials (perhaps local produce?).
The only drawbacks for us were the car not being allowed on after dusk we could not risk having my Mum walk all the way down the field and the lack of cubicles for washing, cleaning teeth etc. The other rules were common sense.
Costs are a bit high (compared with other sites we have been to)but the location cannot be bettered.
Highly recommended I cannot wait to take my grandsons!

We arrived with some trepidation with regards to some of the rules and regs and comments in the reviews but they were all unfounded. Yes there are a lot of rules but the staff were friendly and helpful and with the exception of asking one bloke to stop flying the stunt kite which had already swept the top of our tent once we didn't see them pulling the police act.
The rules mean this is a spotless site and there is no drunken louts or people sweeping your tent with their headlights in the middle of the night! We were in the bottom field - a long walk from the posher loos but we had the little portaloo type ones handy (proper flushing ones not the hideous ones you get at events) which ok were basic but when you need facilities at 2am do you really mind! And we had our own little potwash hut too - the hot water ran out on the Saturday night but it was back up once the Gas man had been to top up the cylinder next morning.
The site is fantastically located and the access gates made it feel really secure. The 'sand' shower near the beach entry was a great touch and certainly helped keep the sand out of the beds!
We had an electricity free pitch - which does mean you get the more muddy end of the field especially when torrential showers hit - but it soon drained away as the ground is very soft and sandy (which also means it is handy to have the bigger plastic pegs for some of the critical guy ropes)
Moelfre is a nice little village and the chippy while it looks a little careworn served up a good meal while the general store has most of the basics you need - OK so there is not a supermarket handy but then isn't part of camping getting away from the mass produced world? Moelfre is also home to the 'best' teashop in Angelsey and it is dog friendly too!
I guess if you want a nice site you have to have the rules set as sadly common sense is often lacking these days - we will certainly be back

Having read some of the reviews we were left very worried we had made a bad choice. However it seems that the warden has left the camp and the site is now being run by the other wardens. They were friendly and helpful but did expect all rules to be followed at all times.
The site does not allow cars to enter after sunset, which I understands stops people coming and going freely but if you arrive late (due to traffic hold ups) as friends of ours did it is a problem. I am sure the site could have an exception for people arriving late (due to traffic - it was a Fri after all) as they were still allowed to enter, with luggage under arm, just not with their car!
It is expected that you will be quiet after 10.30 pm. We were a party of 8 (1 caravan 3 tents) and did not find this an issue. If this was not impose I can see how it may become rowdy when groups are sat around drinking, having the rule ensures it remains quiet at night, you can still sit around your tent/caravan chatting as long as you are considerate. They are very strict on where you pitch your unit which damped the atmosphere slightly as we felt our group was rather spread out.
Views are beautiful and access to the beach is excellent. There are some lovely local walks and you might even be lucky enough to see dolphins. It is close to a great traditional pub called the Pilot Boat which is reasonably priced for excellent sized potions which were pipping hot. The deco is personal choice but don't be put off by this, you can't book a table (which is always a good sign), so turn up early or be prepared to wait.
We would definitely return to this site but for a while longer as there is a lot to see around the local area.

Wardens are helpful just too many rules.
The toilet and showers were clean. Also if you are pitched in any fields but the first its quite a walk to them, especially if you have small children, would ask to be in the first field if we go again. Also the loos in the far field, the cubicles are a little on the small side, with your feet sticking out from under the door although we did laugh it is a little embarrassing, and people on the large size would definitely have a problem getting in
Straight onto a beautiful beach.

We have just returned from Dafarn Rhos after spending 11 nights there.
The sites toilets, showers and facilities are adequate but could be better for the fees charged, the small store in the village was not so good, an on site shop would be handy and would probably make a small fortune.
This site operates a no guests policy during peak season, this was not mentioned when we booked and was not on their website. I have family who live in Wales and always visit me whilst on holiday in Wales. When they arrived they were let in 'because they were here now' and charged a visitors rate of £8.00 for the 3 hrs they stayed. Any further visits would not be allowed.
We also found the staff were quite sharp on our first day. It would have been nice to be asked how was your journey? have you travelled far? etc not told very abruptly that you can't park there, it is a main entrance you know which does make you feel rather chastised and that is before you have even booked in. Not a good start to our holiday.
The other comments all appear quite negative, but we have been touring and camping for 25 years and consider ourselves seasoned campers with lots of experience. We have never had a welcome like that one before.
Following this I did notice that the wardens work very hard and if not directing campers to their pitches they were litter picking, mowing, cleaning or policing the rule book.
There are many rules, most of which are common sense and really don't need to be written or enforced with such vigour.
The site does enjoy stunning views and easy access to the beach whilst still remaining secure and the coastal walk is a must.
The no noise after 22.30 rule could be a problem if you were in a large party, but we found it nice that everywhere was still after 10.30
