Date of Visit: July 2026  Confirmed Booking Unit:  Tent
Nights stayed: 4 Travelling as:  Family with young children
Reviewer: Lento2 1 review from this member

 At first, communication with the owner/manager was a bit disappointing. After making payment, I received confirmation that my payment for a four-night stay had been accepted, but I wasn't given any further information. I had to ask about check-in and check-out times and where I should pitch my tent, but I didn't receive clear guidance and ended up figuring it out myself when I arrived.

The campsite is promoted as being family-friendly, and although I stayed in a tent while there were also campervans on site, I didn't always feel as safe as I expected. There were notices in the bathrooms reminding parents not to leave children unattended, but there was no gate or controlled access to the campsite. This meant that anyone could simply walk in and use the campsite facilities, including the toilets, which made the site feel less secure than I would expect for a family campsite.

Despite the lack of security, the communication issues, and the frequent turnover of new arrivals throughout our stay, we still had a lovely time and made the most of our holiday.

The toilet and shower facilities were excellent. There was hot water available 24/7, the bathrooms were always well-stocked with toilet paper, and they were kept clean. The only downside was the lack of shelves or benches to keep your belongings off the floor while using the facilities. Thankfully, on our last day, extra chairs were added, which made it much easier to keep personal items dry and clean.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but I think better communication before arrival and improved site security would make a big difference, especially for families with children.

 Not an upmarket site but it has all the basics for a fair price.

Particularly good choice if your main requirement is a base to explore the area.

In summary, it’s not the most upmarket site but it’s in a nice setting with all the basics covered.

Reviewer: Nicola 1 review from this member

 The greeting was friendly enough and the views were spectacular over the estuary,

But the amount of facilities for a site with 4 large fields was totally inadequate.

3 family shower rooms and two separate toilets is not enough so we are glad they weren't "officially" open.

 Quiet campsite, nice and clean, beautiful views.

We were hoping to hire a fire pit but we’re told that they weren’t providing them anymore, bit disappointed as it was a cold evening, you can, however, use your own fire pit.

There is a telephone number to ring on arrival, owner was pleasant.

Short drive to Talacre beach, pub, arcade etc. The bakery there is highly recommended!

Also visited Rhyl, which was a 20 minute drive.

We had a pleasant stay.

 Lovely site with beautiful views out to sea, really nice setting, clean and with nice touches such as lit up trees at nightfall.

We stayed over the Bank Holiday and although busy, there was still plenty of room although there were some queues for the toilets and showers.

Paul, the owner was a superb host and provided help and advice and was always available. Unfortunately one of our friends had a medical emergency but Paul was on hand with help and support.

Thank you Paul. Superb site.

 We loved the site! Great clean and plentiful amenities and great campers around us.

Lovely view and lots to do nearby.

Would have loved a fire pit but wasn’t to be. We will certainly return.

Reviewer: Sarah4 1 review from this member

 Just returned from a 2 night stay at this site and I have to say it is one of the best campsites we have visited.

The views are breathtaking, the site is very well kept with spotlessly clean toilets and shower blocks.

The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The atmosphere on site was peaceful and friendly.

We booked ehu and had the option of 2 pitches - we selected the pitch opposite the toilet block as it was quieter and having young children we didn't want to disturb anyone.

This pitch was quite hilly and our tent was on an incline meaning nothing stood up in the tent - even the baby couldn't get her balance and the air bed was like a slide during the night.

I would opt for a pitch on the busier field next time.

We will definitely be returning to the site and highly recommend it.

 We had a great stay at Ynyshir. A lovely spacious campsite, with an amazing view.

A new shower and toilet block with great family rooms.

I'd definitely recommend this site!

 We stayed with our family, older married children and my sister and family over the bank holiday weekend.

The site is beautiful, well laid out, lots of choice, beautiful landscaping. Very well kept, Paul was so lovely, collected every ones rubbish each morning, toilets and showers kept spotless. Great views, a truly beautiful site.

Our only niggle is that for the size of the site and the amount of campers, 2 loos and 3 showers is no where near enough, long ques in the morning. 2 porta loos on the top field did help but on a very busy site more showers and loos are definitely needed, we believe these are planned in the future. Other wise perfect camp site,

Thank you all.

 Lovely views, decent size campsite,

Good location close to Talacre Town and Prestatyn

Friendly staff, blonde lady who cleans toilet block was lovely!

Cold showers more often than not but high demand

Not enough wash/ toilet facilities and not a full campsite so god help summer holidays!

But would go back in low season👍
