Let us get the shower/toilet thing out of the way first! Yes there are a couple of toilets and only one shower from what I can see, but these are clean the cost to run the shower is NOT expensive. The reality is that this is a basic campsite (although very well kept) so if you want luxury then pay more! The good thing about this campsite is that you pay per pitch so large families don't get stung with added extras like at other campsites.
The fields are well maintained, the owners are really friendly and the campsite has a relaxed, reasonably quiet atmosphere about it (or at least it did when we stayed on the 22-24 July 2011.
We visited as 2 families and the kids, aged between 8 and 13 loved it.
The location is great for beaches, countryside, attractions etc and even Snowdonia/Caernarfon are not too far away for a day out. I would recommend this site and yes we we will be going back there throughout the 2011 summer holidays!
Stayed with friends for two nights, very easy to find, location is a good central base. Lovely nature reserve about one mile down the road or a couple of miles further on to the beach.
Toilets & showers are very basic, hot water tap has been removed from the hand wash basin, also soap dispenser did not work. It cost £20 a night for van with hookup, expected to pay for showers but not for washing up water!
Hook ups need looking at, as one should be able to have water pump on and be able to boil a small kettle at the same time without tripping the electrics, this seemed to be a problem across the field.
On this basis I don't think I will be recommending this site to fellow caravanners, I have stayed at cheaper sites that have more to offer.

Wedi aros gyda ffrindiau am ddwy noson, yn hawdd iawn dod o hyd, lleoliad yn sylfaen canolog da. Warchodfa natur hyfryd tua milltir I lawr y ffordd neu ychydig o filltiroedd pellach ar y traeth.
Toiledau a chawodydd yn sylfaenol iawn, tap dŵr poeth wedi cael ei dynnu oddi ar y basn golchi dwylo, hefyd nad dispenser sebon ddim yn gweithio. Mae'n costio £ 20 y noson I fan gyda hookup, disgwylir I chi dalu am cawodydd, ond nid ar gyfer golchi llestri dwr!
Hook ups angen edrych ar, fel y dylai un fod yn gallu cael pwmp dŵr ar a gallu I ferwi tegell bach ar yr un pryd heb baglu y trydan, mae hyn yn ymddangos I fod yn broblem ar draws y cae.
Ar sail hyn nid wyf yn credu y byddaf yn argymell y safle hwn I gyd-carafanwyr, rwyf wedi aros mewn safleoedd rhatach sydd â mwy i'w gynnig.
On the whole the campsite is good and owners friendly and helpful. Easy to book at short notice by email and straight forward to find on Anglesey.
We were given a good size plot next to the vines for our small 2 man tent and were also asked if it was OK for us. We had booked and stayed for 1 night.
I think there were 3 main areas / fields with tents and caravans. 2 toilets and 1 shower. During our short stay they looked generally clean but I was surprised to find no toilet paper in either at 7. 30am. Shower was basic, spacious and OK.
I can strongly recommend the cafe / restaurant, 'White Lodge' (also a campsite) just up the main road for meals. We had an excellent evening meal and breakfast. Not the cheapest but v good quality and relaxed atmosphere.
Wifi would be a good addition as this seemed to be lacking in the wider area.
We were put off this site by previous incorrect reviews. The reviews lead you to believe that showers were very expensive, this is not the case 40p gets you plenty of hot water for a shower.
Fortunately I rang Helen one of the owners who was very fair and said the site was basic but clean, she said come and have a look around and make your own judgement, we did this and were over whelmed by the friendliness of the owners, She had gone to the trouble of Mowing a site for us which she thought would be suitable for us as we have a very large tent ( Outwell Hartford Excel with canopy),
We were surprised to find they had electric Hook Ups available and she said if your cable is not long enough I will lend you one. She said any problems or if we were not satisfied with anything to give them a call and it would be put right.
We think the site is very beautiful it is what it is two toilets and a shower and dishwashing. They seem to go out of there way to make sure you have a good holiday.
We enjoyed the week very much and will keep going back again and again. Policy on campfires is very reasonable. They just ask that you are careful and that you do not leave stones or rocks as it damages the grass cutters.
Glad we rang as we could have missed this delightful little site. Newborough Beach is stunning the Island is beautiful, RAF Valley is worth a Trip to see, there's a little tiny Car Park and when we were there, we saw excellent display from these young pilots.
There is a Small Garage/Shop five minutes walk from the campsite for basics and very friendly to. A lot to do, if you like beauty, relaxation, this is the place for you.
Great Campsite in a gorgeous setting - Amazing views of Wales and beautiful farm land. Well maintained site with basic but good facilities.
Nothing fancy about the shower or toilet blocks but they were very clean and all in working order.
Harry the owner and Helen were really friendly and helpful. Camp fires are allowed and you can buy logs from the site which really makes it easy in the evenings.
The beach we went to was 5 mins drive away and was gorgeous, hidden through the pine forests (think they were pines anyhow!). Local shop/garage was 2 mins walk away which is really great for the essentials.
They have their own Vineyard on-site which I think is really special. Great to see local growers giving it a go! Preferred the white wine to the red, but nice to try my first Welsh wine!
A very pleasantly situated site, at the time we visited we were the only unit on site. Clean facilities, and very friendly owners. Harry, the owner took us around his vineyard and gave us a wine tasting. We felt compelled to buy a bottle (a mistake.) Good base for West Anglesey, with Newborough beach and forest close by. Free parking in the forest. The village of Newborough has nothing to offer except a convenience store.
Just up the road from the site is the White Lodge Cafe - very good food and service. Plas Newydd stately home not far away, and also cheap 9 hole pay and play golf.
Downside, as others have mentioned - £20 a night (includes EHU tho') and £1 for 4 mins in the shower. Most expensive CL site we have stayed in, and for that reason we are 'out'(apologies to Dragons Den)
Nice clean quiet site, quite close to most places, great views of Snowdonia. Very friendly owners, and a couple of horses on site which the kids loved. They also allow open fires and sell wood on site.
I just had a couple of gripes:
The top field was quite a way from the toilets and showers and not very flat for tents;
Considering it had little or no facilities I found it quite dear at £16 a night for a 4 berth tent, especially as the showers were expensive. I put my 20p in, got into the shower, hung my toiletries up, got out the shampoo. And the timer ran out. £1 just about covered the fastest shower I've ever had - it was maybe 2 mins in all.
I cannot praise this campsite enough. I had a wonderful two week break here at the beginning of April 2011. Harry and Helen were very welcoming and the site was basic but very clean. As a single woman travailing by foot with only my dog as a companion, the site felt very secure and safe.
I have read through the other reviews and I would like to point out firstly there is two toilets not one, and there is a area for hand washing only at the near end of the kitchen counter where the dish washing sink is. Also another reviewer commented that the thermostat in the shower did not work, I had no problems with it as it did work when I was there.
Although as another reviewer pointed out there is not a shop close by, there is a garage approx 2 mins walk away that sells the usual like bread, coffee, cheese, biscuits cold drinks, petrol and tobacco. The shop by foot is only about 30 mins walk and across from the post office. For campers who are travailing by food and don’t have the means to boil water, you can get cooked food and coffee at the White lodge from 9am in the morning but not on Wednesdays, this is only a 20 min walk from the site.
Walkers will also find a pleasant short cut to the beach if instead of going through the village and forest they go straight past white lodge and over the roundabout then take the first left. This will put you onto a nature trail that will lead you either to the beaches or through the forest, where the forest trails are marked. Dogs must be kept on leads as there is a lot of wild ponies if you go over the sty and sand dunes to explore the walk across the wash to the coastline that can take several hours.
Also if when on foot you take the first right after the White lodge, you will come across another trail that leads you to a largish river with breathtaking natural but large stepping stones as a means of crossing. This river was running quite fast so if you have small children you would need to keep a eye on them.
Another reviewer pointed out dogs are aloud on the beach to the left. This is correct the blue flag beach is to the right but dogs are allowed on the blue flag beach but not during the May-October period. There is also a toilet block in the beach car park in the forest, but no where to get a drink so not a water fountain if you are on foot and need to top up your water bottles.
The TyCroes farm and camp site itself is roughly half hour bus ride from Bangor train station. To sum up after two weeks I felt like a member of the family, with non of the snobbery you can get at the caravan club as a tent user sometimes.
There is only 6 amp so make sure you take lots of gas, ours tripped a few times so wasn't able to use heater and water heater at same time.
For the price of £20 per night you would think there would be 10 amp or 16 amp available.
The price didn't include the showers which you have to pay for, using 20 pence pieces.
We had a buy a new bottle of gas and run mainly of that in order to get a warm shower and heat the van.
Keep to the top of the field in damp weather as we got stuck and had to be pushed out by other campers
