We have just had a week in Ty Mawr. We had read the reviews before we left and were filled with dread ! We stayed on the Warren and our first impressions were ok. The pitches are tiny and there seems to be a free for all in the way people set up their pitches. We were inundated with children roaming in and out of our caravan but that's not the sites fault.
At the weekend the site turned into Hill billy ville, we were trapped by a huge family with 3 units 3 minibuses and about 12 children between them. The noise at night was awful and one night there was people still shouting at 4. 10 am ! We complained one night and security did come straight away but only to tell the people they'd had a complaint and could they be quiet. The entertainment starts with bingo and during this children are not allowed to make a noise !A ridiculous rule considering they can't keep control of the kids anywhere else ! The entertainment seemed ok, but you need to get a table early as it gets busy. The chippy on site opens whenever it likes and the shop is only open to 8 weekdays and 6 on Sunday.
The pool is awful, we have 4 kids under 7 and it was impossible to get them dry as the cubicles don't have benches in so everywhere is wet. We are not snobs but we are quiet people ( even with 4 children ) and we like our sleep and are not in the habbit of putting our kids to sleep very late.
We did have a good holiday but that was inspite of Ty Mawr. We won't go again, there is no order or control in the place and me and hubby are exhausted from lack of sleep and constantly having to watch our kids bikes etc and protect them from foul mouthed 6 year olds ! On the plus side Towyn has a couple of fairs and a market which had some great bargains. There is also a bus every 10 mins to and from Rhyl and Abergele.
After reading previous reviews I did not know what to expect, we went for a 2 night break to brave a camping trip me single mum and 2 boys age 6 and 10 & a family of 4 with kids 8 & 10, on arrival staff were very polite, price was 72. 00 for 2 nights a bit pricey as the weather was dreadful, After a nosey around the site we found it was clean & had lots to do, ie swimming pool, football court (my boys loved)on one day it did not rain & adventure playground (very safe). We stayed on the posh site The Warren (electric hook up)which had mixture of tents & caravans, very well clean toilet facilities (nice smell of bleach which we women like to smell we know it clean), toilet roll stocked up, hot water & shower cubicles (no where to hang clothes though which was not good with kids). Shop well stocked & opened regular, chip shop & a good decent bar room for adults & kids and an arcade. Had a look at the other camp site (no electric I think) and it was a big boggy field with porto cabins and looked like a music festival so glad not to be on there. The site was great unfortunatley it was some people who spoilt it, a dog barking all night because it could see peoples shadows through there tent (why take a dog camping!), people cutting through the tent park and tripping over tent guides & landing on our heads while trying to sleep (hello its holding a tent up so why not walk round), the park is well lit and has a path all the way around it, then the birds which you cannot do anything about them at 5 am in the morning (shooting them went through my mind). The campsite is close to Morrisons and a small shoppimg mall, argos, superdrug (14 mins), colwyn bay & other local areas near by and a little fair about 5 mins drive but should walk to it as no parking facilities near by all double yellow lines, we would be happy to go back next year but when the weather is sunny and not wet (which could be September with british weather), happy camping.
Well we did dread this camping holiday as it was our first camping experience, my husband and I, daughter 5 and son 2 for 1 week. It was as suggested by other reviews, a typical holiday with amusements etc but I can assure you that this was a gift when all's we had was rain for 1 week solid!
I can say that I wouldn't go again for 1 week to Ty Mawr nor would I stay in the Meadows, we stayed in the non-service area, which is a free for all, the weekend was busy with tents flying up everywhere.
Toilets were cleaned in the morning and thats all, rain making the whole cleanliness thing alot to be desired. I do agree with other reviews that the pool area is old fashioned and getting dressed to 100% dryness is very hard. The toilets at 10am (first swim of the day after the adult swim) were not clean.
The entertainment staff were great, they put in 100% with the kids, and mine only attended when I did at night. Entertainment lounge could do with a revamp. I got the feeling that there wasn't much in the way of maintenance staff.
Overall it wasn't my normal sort of holiday nor my type of people but the kids really enjoyed it, even in the rain. I would go back for 2 nights on a serviced pitch but I would request the 'Warren' area next time due to the toilets/showers being in a building block, although I didn't go in these so can't say they would be much better, although the pitch would be.
You get given a 'fun pass' per person when you arrive so as you can get into swimming, amusements area etc but didn't show this once in all 7 days!
I have just returned from a weekend at Ty Mawr, with my husband, 12 week old baby, sister and nephew. We wanted a weekend away no more than a 90 minute drive from our home in Chesire. Whilst I didn't have high hopes for this site or the area, I was pleasantly surprised.
Having bad memories from past visits to Rhyl and Prestatyn, I expected Abergele to be the same and it was far from what I expected. It was clean, litter free and a nice family resort. The Ty Mawr park was also a nice surprise. Yes, it is typical of 'Butlins style' holiday camps, but it is clean and tidy with excellent facilities to make a good family holiday.
We stayed in the meadows with a touring caravan, and the toilet and shower blocks were portakabins, but provided clean and tidy amenities with hot flowing water. Far better than some sites we have previously stayed at.
The main complex provided a game arcade, which is typical of this type of resort, but lets face it - most seaside towns have these! The swimming pool is a little dated, but clean. It was ideal for my 8 year old nephew. If you don't want to swim in there, it's only a 10 minute drive to the sun centre at Rhyl. There is also a main club style area and disco (Coco Club) with kids club activities which offers something for kids of all ages. Ideal is the weather is a little naff.
Also on site there is a nicely stocked and reasonably priced shop, chippy and pub. The pub offers 2 for £10 meals which ranged from burgers to lasagne - typical pub grub. Nothing awe inspiring but ok for the price. Drinks prices were about £2.50 a pint, which is cheaper than the pubs where we live!
Offsite there a number of static caravan sites which offer non-residents entry to their clubs and arcades, and a short 5 minute walk take you to a pedestrianised little street with bars similar to those you find abroad. Yes they're a bit cheesy, but they're geared up for families so the atmosphere was nice. Also in this area is a small fun fair. Again great for the kids as well as been immaculately clean and tidy!
I would thoroughly recommend this resort to anyone with kids, there's always something going on to keep them occupied and close by to lots of interesting days out at places like Llandudno, Conwy, Cearnarfon and Colwyn Bay.
We stayed in the Meadows. Nice big pitches and no real noise problems at night. Unfortunately the 'newly refurbished' toilets and showers are portacabins. When the toilets were cleaned they were very clean but did not stay that way for long. They would definitely benefit from a mid day clean as well. There are not enough toilets and showers for the number of pitches The morning toilet and wash rush lasted til about 11.30, with people always waiting. The showers were clean and nice and hot but have a drainage problem. You are constatly standing in water up to your ankles.
The pool was clean and warm but the changing areas are inadequate. It is impossible to get changed without getting your clothes all wet as there are hardly any hooks and no duck boarding to stand on.
We probably wouldn't rush back there again as I think a proper campsite represents better value for money but overall we enjoyed our stay.
Stayed on the meadows and first impressions were not very good. Flat field, no hard standing with a central assembly of portacabins for toilets and showers. All I can say is don't go off first impressions. I've stayed on sites with brick toilet blocks that have been much much worse than these. The toilets were imaculately clean with plenty of hot water; the only downside is that there were no cubicles for a standing wash.
The showers were the best I have used away from home - complete shower cubicles with proper electric showers - not the ones you have to lean against to keep the water flowing. The dish washing area was also very clean with instant hot water regardless of the time of day.
The site was very good value for money - electic pitch for 7 nights for 2 adults £99.
We only went in the club a couple of times and found the prices to be no more than in Rhyl and there were also 4 pint jugs of lager on sale for £10.00.
The lighting was good when coming back across the field at night so did not need a torch.
This site is situated right next to the main road and we used the local buses to get to Rhyl and Llandudno. As my husband uses a wheelchair we found the proximity to the main road and the flat terrain to be a blessing.
Cant comment on the pub, pool or chippy as we did not use them but we did use the camp shop which had everything that we needed.
All in all I was pleasantly surprised and will stay here again.
Just got back from two nights camping at Ty Mawr. We stayed in the camping field with the portaloos not the Warren
The field was flat and well set out and although my tent is 7.6m x 7.6m it wasn't a problem even though they say 6 by 6 max, tent size. The toilets and showers are very good with no complaints,
We had a meal at the pub which is at the front of the site, food was ok at its best, the chips are frozen but didn't expect any thing else, the meals are about £6 to £8 each and £3.50 for kids,
Also used the chip shop on site, big portions and again ok at its best.
Club house was typical of this kind of site so cant complain, bitter £2.80 a pint vodka and lemonade £2.60 and lager on special at £2 all night.
The pool was clean and nice and warm 10 out of 10 there.
First time on this site and will return if I need a site with all the extras due to poor weather for example
Stayed here for two nights early June. No hard standing but sites were level, we were on site called 'the warren' Other site looked a bit rough and was just a field with porta loos. Ours had good toilet block, clean with plenty of hot water but you have to keep pressing shower or it stops quickly. The baths were warm and spotless. Poor spectator area for non swimmers. Good adventure playground our 3yrs old grandson loved it. Entertainment was good for kids and there was cash bingo for adults before show started. All staff friendly and very helpful. Site is close to many local attractions from Rhyl to Llandudno and Conway depending on your likes. We will be returning in near future.
Returned for a second year running and was located in the Warren Area this time (in the Meadows before) and it was much better. The toilet/shower block was a building rather than a portable like in The Meadows. It rained quite a lot but didn't put us off. Toilets/Showers not the most modern but were hosed down quite frequently and the was also a warden/cleaner about all the time.
The Farmhouse Inn has had a new carpet and a lick of paint so looks alot better. We also we aware that the security guards patroled quite frequently which was reassuring.
We would still return again. Entertainment still great for the kids and in the surrounding area thee is loads to do.
It rained most of the week - we is to be expected in March but the drainage was VERY POOR - we had puddles of mud which then turned to swamps all around the awning!
The toilet block was very old and very COLD - the showers were luke warm and you had to keep pressing the button every 10 seconds otherwise the water switched off - not very relaxing.
Rhyl was typical amusements etc. Not very pretty. We went to Conwy castle which was lovely and the kids enjoyed it too. Greenwoods Forest Park is about 1/2 hour away and well worth a visit the kids loved it.
Kids went swimming once and didn't want to go again - very unlike my children! They said it was FREEZING and the slide wasn't working. Shop ok, well stocked apart from fruit!
This site on a whole was okay and we are planning to go back in May. The prices are a little expensive and (£32.00 a night in half term) but area is great, and our children were well entertained in the evening.
There is only one camping field which is quite a walk from the reception and entertainment area but it had clean toilets and showers. There is a Pub on site and the food was okay but it is in desperate need of an overhaul/up dating.
The evening entertainment was great, our daughters (4) and (2) had a ball, it was clean and very big. The onsite shop was well stocked, but there is also a large Tesco in Abergele.
The area itself has plenty of things to do. We went to the Welsh Mountain Zoo in Colwyn Bay, which I would highly reccomend, Conwy Castle, Llandudno, Rhyl, all of which are no more than a 45 minute drive away.
If you would like a site that has good entertainment and is close to many visting places this is a good choice.
They should refurbish the pool as it desperately needs it, my 6 yr old son noticed how grubby it looked and didn't want to go in it again.He also said the pool slide didn't feel safe and wobbled as he went down it. (pool was also very cold)
They should make the pitches hard standing as when we arrived, there was a muddy pool where the awning was to go - had to put down waterproof groundsheet - as have many others which is why the grass had gone - that and poor drainage?
Electric hook up on pitch, although the fresh water point was very dirty on the floor around it.
Shower facilities clean, but old - a shutter was used at night to section off the facilities to one shower and two toilets? WHY???
Took a look around the 'tent' field just for laughs and glad I wasn't stopping there - dirt track road in a bumpy field with portaloos.! Looked like a music festival site.!
It all depends on what you want from a holiday, but we certainly wouldn't recommend this site unless you don't mind the above points - and the high price tag.
I hope my comments are useful to you if you are thinking of stopping here.???
Just Returned from a 6 night break running into the bank holiday 2nd time we have stayed here we had a great time even had some nice weather. Stopped on the meadows mixed tourers and tents plenty of space not far from the main centre people and staff were nice.
The main field was kept clean tidy and and grass kept pretty well might be a little bumpy in places for tents a little noisy at times over the busy bank holiday but hey we like to party so not a problem to us a few dodgy families on there think they were travellers had a bit of an incident kids kicking there ball at my van but to be fair once I had yelled at them it stopped somebodies dog never stopped yapping from dusk till dawn And a camper van parked the wrong way across the pitch next to us which spoil ed the view a little.OK Rant over.
We had a good holiday here and will return again an all round good family site entertainment was brill shop well stocked chippy good beer OK What more could ye want.A warm shower would be nice they were freezing.
Firstly we are a family with two children aged 6 and 3 and a small dog. We spent five nights here over the August bank Holiday weekend.
The touring part of the site had a lot of litter , the grass was uncut and the caravan pitches had large tyre rivets everywhere and the roads leading to them where just as bad.
The toilets and shower facilities are Porto cabins and were below expected standards. The chemical disposal was a metal square box with a loo in the middle with a broken tap .
On arrival at the site we were simply told to find a pitch, which led to the inevitable people taking more than one pitch and over bookings occurring due to lack of space.
The swimming pool had cloudy water as mentioned by previous reviewer, and the slide was only open two days out of the five we were there.
The plus point of the site was the excellent children's entertainment in the evenings.
This is not my ideal type of campsite, very commercialised, we were put in an overflow field and had to walk into another field to use the portalo toilets. It was quite a walk to the facilities the site had to offer.
The indoor swimming pool was very very old, I attempted to go for an 'early morning' swim (9am) to be met with a Sergent major type of guy who after I shown him my pass informed me I would not be allowed into the pool for at least an hour as it was 'owners only hour'
The shop was very well stocked and reasonably priced.
By the evening the field had become very busy, there seemed to be a 'group' of campers in the middle who can arrived together and all they wanted to do was party, right up till 4am they played very loud music, the kids were running around screaming, car engines were being revved, at one point they purposely set of their car alarms to see which one was the loudest!

We have just had a week in Ty Mawr. We had read the reviews before we left and were filled with dread ! We stayed on the Warren and our first impressions were ok. The pitches are tiny and there seems to be a free for all in the way people set up their pitches. We were inundated with children roaming in and out of our caravan but that's not the sites fault.
