 Just returned from this site today. We were lucky to benefit from the weekends excellent weather.
We were disappointed that the site was so crowded, and as it is a 'pitch where you like' site it was difficult to find somewhere that was not too close to another unit, despite it stating in their information that units should be 6m apart.
Unfortunately there were several loud groups on site 'partying' until 3 in the morning which resulted in severe loss of sleep for many people. Security Guards patrol the site but did not stop the noise levels at unreasonable times.
The showers and toilets were of a very good standard with plenty of hot water, although they ran out of loo roll due to the site being so busy.
The on site shop is well stocked and the amusements, play area looked very good. The pool was very warm, although the environment was very tired with only two showers for everyone using the pool. The timetable for swimming was very restricted as it was only available to 'non owners' between 10-1 and 2-4pm. Lockers were a non-refundable £1.
The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. We did not use the entertainment provision, nor did we eat on site so cannot comment on that.
There is a Summerfields within one mile of the site, and there is also an Asda not far away. Abergele has a Tesco.
We were disappointed with this site purely because of the selfish people that were there this weekend

Just returned today from a weekend of camping at Ty Mawr. I will review what is good first.
'Good'
1. The excellent hot weather.
2. 'Jakes', a lovely family 'pub/restaurant' that can be found just across the mainroad (left).
3. The fantastic children's 'water-park' found on the 'front' in Rhyl. It is CLEAN, perfect, water fountains and best of all FREE.
4. The location is fair.
5. The children's play area was quite good and my son liked the football area.
Constructive Criticism
1. The Campsite 'clientèle'. Steer clear if you don't want a site with Security Guards and Police in attendance until about 5.30am. The second night was not much better, with drunken people stumbling on to our tent at 3am 'looking for theirs'. There was loud music and screaming well after 1am. The Security 'Trannie' Van was trawling round and round past out tent the second night.
2. There are two areas for camping. The Warren and The Meadows. We chose the Meadows as it was further from the facilities, hence we thought quieter (big mistake).
3. The portable cabin wash/toilet facilities looked like new cabins and we are not adverse to using Portable cabins, in fact we are happy to camp on sites with very old (but clean) facilities. On arrival the ladies toilets were clean. Within two hours, I refused to use them again. I would not allow my daughter to use them either. No loo paper (well we go prepared, we don't expect any), but they were filthy (obviously by the people using them and I am ashamed to say - females!). My husband assures me that the 'mens' were fine and clean - he took the children there. The sinks are no bigger than a very small en-suite washbasin and you are better not to look in (due to what is in them).
4. There was one bin for our area. Last night the bin was open it was so full. There was nearly as much left on the floor adjacent to our tent than there was in it. It was blowing everywhere.
5. The swimming pool is open 10am - 1pm and 2pm until 4pm (but you are asked to leave 15mins before the end). That gives over 100 people less than 2hrs swimming in an afternoon - in temperatures of 24degrees plus! Rhyl Council have got it right, their children fun outdoor paddling pool is open 1130 - 1700hrs (dependant on weather) and as it was glorious they open earlier and close later - they understand what people want on their holidays. Oh yes, Ty Mawr pool is in dirty and they had secured a Fire Exit Door closed by using a Clubhouse Chair (I was told by the Lifeguard they do this when pool is open and at night because people open it and let others in). When I pointed out that this was a Fire Risk and I was sure that the Fire Officer would have a field day! Sure enough it was removed, but I got some dirty looks.
Sadly, a relaxing weekend with the children at the seaside was a stressful time. I was glad to get home for a shower and to chill out. Please don't go here if you want a pleasant camping experience (family or couples). You would choose here for the equivalent of a stag/hen do. They allow commercial vehicles and three or four units to pitch together in a tight circle. Children run wild, from as young as just walking to teenagers. At the water taps there were 'water bombs' discarded by the groups camped there, people who watched their children do this, constantly running the water and washing toys here - using it as a play area.
Unfortunately, although the Reception Staff were pleasant, they were not interested on any matter, or even when I told them that when I had tried to shower my child that the ice cold water had suddenly turned very very hot and scalded her arm. I asked them to complete the Health & Safety Book, but she didn't. The Security Guard was a pleasant chap.
The entertainment complex was ok, funny smell in there, not our kind of place.
We like to have a drink, a laugh and a BBQ, but respect that people have children, some like to sleep and we keep the noise to a minimum and are quiet after 11pm latest. Sorry to feel so negative, but we had no sleep the first night and minimal on the second night.

We left at 10 pm last night 29th May as there were bricks being thrown from the camping field next door, which went through our next doors awning making a big hole in it, security says that police were called but we left before damage could be done to our motorhome. The place was very full and we expected that on a bank holiday. The toilets and showers were ok and there was plenty to do around, with entertainment but didn't get to see that as we only stayed one night. Heated swimming pool and plenty of play areas for kids. Good cycle ways around and good buses to the town of Rhyl and Llandudno. Ok place to go but keep away bank holidays and keep away from nearby hedges

We came here for a quick weekend away and Abergele is known for a really nice beach and within quick distance of rhyl and other days out. The area is lively with two fairs, a beach, shops, resturants, pubs etc.
Upon arranging it was hard to even get a parking space near reception but the ladies behind the desk are friendly and more than willing to help out over anything.
We booked two 'pitches' and arranged upon booking, to have these two pitches together, which they said they would do, only to arrive and be told to set up anywhere on the field.
The field is at the back end of the holiday park and you feel somewhat forgotten about. The field is split into two by a fence and the showers and toilets are just 'festival' loos stuck at the top end in Electric tent part, therefore making you walk a far bit. The showers were tiny, felt like you were showering in a high school locker.
We only found the water tap on the night before we were due to leave. There is only one for the whole field and it was surrounded by other tents who had pitched around it for selfish gain. No of this is shown on the site map and on the None EH there was no fire points. The field is lit up at night by two big lights unless you're on the Non EH which had the lights but never turned on.
You get a entertainment pass included in the price and this was really the only reason we picked this site due to having a little one with us. The entertainment staff spent more time talking and making rude comments and jokes between themselves, that the kids ended up looking bored and disinterested.
The arcade on site was fair with a ticket collection scheme, which every kid loves and contained new games like guitar hero. They had staff on the door for safety. The food on site is very expensive with £4 for a simple cheese burger. They also have a chippy which is about 20p more than normal and only had some much supply of food for the weekend so when it runs out, its ran out. Lucky though a ASDA is situated just up the road so you don't need to bring food with you. The on site shop also had food, toys, camping bits, first aid etc but again it was cheaper to go to ASDA.
The Playground is again on the other side of the holiday site compared to the camping/touring area but it consists of a big climbing frame, swings, slides, basketball and football areas which was always clean.
The site also had a pool, but be aware that it is only open til 3.45pm even tho it states 4pm. It doesnt have any showers and its a simple quick change in another box. There is also a slide. I can not fully comment on the pool due to a kid being sick in the water in the morning, which shut down the pool for the rest of the day, therefore we didn't spend much time in there.
On our weekend, I found other campers to be very noisy, which continued til 2am even though it is a family holiday site. I also noticed that on the Saturday the reception was welcoming more and more people onto the electric side of the field without really going down and seeing how packed the area was. They just seemed to cram as many as possible on and leave the area alone.
I will say that a Warden did come round twice a day to check who had to leave but that's all he really did.

Maybe our 4th trip back to Ty Mawr since we started with touring caravan last year. I'm glad to say the toilet and shower blocks have been refurbished to a high standard with bright tiles and new showers, doors, sinks etc - still need a few hooks to hang clothes on but a massive improvement and kept very clean over the Easter weekend we visited.
It is a commercial site and the downsides are that it can get busy on the touring field and the kids asking for money for the arcades.
However, the upsides are plenty:
- the pool is excellent and we've never seen it too busy (it is heated btw - someone earlier said it isn't?), the extra activities that you can buy at the pool - build-a-raft, scuba, hamster-ball, life-saving are all low-cost and very well organised by the life-guard team
- the multi-sports area was loved by my 9-year old as he managed to make friends and enjoy a few games of football
- the park area has been improved with more swings and climbing frames
- the food in the Barn is fine and well priced - also a friendly place to watch the football if you are so inclined
- the on site shop is very well stocked and well priced
- the security team are great, friendly and will happily help with any queries and also keep a close eye on the kiddies
- my kids are at the age where they still like the kids discos and character shows - not my thing, but the kids love it and if they love it, we have a good holiday!
- we've met friendly families on the touring fields each visit and all the kids mix well and all the adults look out for the kids
- they had a new day-time show showing extreme football skills, basket ball skills plus street dancing - this was totally superb - at no extra charge. Don't miss it
- it's easy to pitch wherever you prefer and generally easy to keep plenty of space, privacy and space for a car. The pitches are level and there are plenty of EHU points. Worth mentioning that there are no hard-standings so it can get a tad muddy at times though it seems to drain easily
- plenty of water and waste points
- maybe a nice 20-minutes walk to a beach
The only downside is finding some good restaurants nearby. Good for eats is The Yacht near Pensarm and Abergele. Old fashioned, but family friendly and great food. We highly recommend a short drive to St Asaph to go to the Bridge Inn which over looks a great play park or The Plough for a good meal and great choice of wines
Highly recommended for a rainy day is Rhyl Sun Centre which my kids never tire of.
The evening entertainment in the show bar is ok with some cabaret but they have changed the resident band this year and the new guys just can't cut it just yet - they can play and sing, but they don't just have the interaction and polish the previous older guys used to have. Hey ho - a small gripe indeed.
Try it, you may be surprised!

We spent a weekend here in late September and chose a Park Resort site because we don't have EHU and wanted to make use of the clubs/bars on site. We arrived to a very friendly welcome from the reception staff who were cheerful and informative, we were shown a map of the touring area and told to pitch where we could 'because it was busy', there was only two pitches left, one next to two yapping dogs and one next to the shower/toilet block, we chose the latter which had both advantages and disadvantages, the facilities themselves although a little tired were kept clean and tidy for such a busy site, but could do with upgrading. We didn't spend much time on site during the day because it was just a base from where we could visit the many places of interest in this area. We did make full use of the on site club and bar and even saw Ray Lewis from the Drifters on the Saturday night, would use this site again even though the pitches are a little cosy.

This park is excellent for familie and couples.
1st time on this park and loved every minute of it we stayed for 1 week and took our 2 grandchildren.
The park as a well maintained children's play ground,indoor swiming pool large kids club,amusement arcade,on site shop and fish and chip shop,
The park is quite level and clean, toilets/showers clean and looked after the only down side to the shower block is that the showers could do with upgrading as there is no where to hang your towels or cloths there had to be hung over the door and the space was so small you had to go to a different shower when finished to dry yourself as the floor was like a swimming pool.

Aside from the fact that after pitching our Outwell Montana 6 and when returning from an evening out we came back to find 4 security guards had moved someone elses tent to 3ft from the side of our tent - it even states on their tent site tag to be the typical 6 metres apart from neighbouring tents. Showers and toilets absolutely disgusting even straight after cleaner had finished they were filthy.
I nearly cried everytime I had to shower and the water is so so hot I had to crouch down to be able to wash my hair so I was further away from the water.
The whole site stank of sewage and the entertainment venue was an absolute rip off with drinks - a bottle of cider costing more than a 5* hotel!
Im just glad we had our lovely tent to hide away in.

I have been going to ty mawr caravan site for 3 years now it is a great family facility and fun for everyone of young and old. The club in which they have a bar bingo and a star act on every night is a great place for the adults to go and relax. The children will find hours of fun with the large swimming pool fun park football pitches and the sweet shop. There is always something happening. The other tourists who go to ty mawr are all so friendly and very welcoming. I couldn't have wished for a better holiday park I can not ever wait for the weekend to come so I can go back again

This is a nice site with only a few let downs. Very good for families with good entertainment and pool, shop, arcades, laundrette and children's play areas on site. The only let downs were the shower blocks were not too well maintained and with dogs on site was some dogmuck in areas.
There is a lot of places to visit in the area the beach being one which is only about a ten minute walk and also there is 2 funfairs within ten minutes walk from site
