 We brought a ten man tent and some equipment about six months ago and decided to finally take the plunge. We booked for three nights (Thursday - Sunday) for £120 with electric hook up at Ty Mawr site (would recommend this length of stay to any first time camper like us) Only AFTER booking I decided to read the reviews for tents (typically me) to be honest we read mixed reviews some of which had totally put me off but ever the optimist we packed our three kids (13yrs, 12yrs & 4yrs) plus the kitchen sink into the car. I made a pack that regardless of opinions I would try everything and give an honest review so here goes.
Ty Mawr was easy to find and on arrival we found the receptionist both friendly and nice. She directed us to 'The Warren' and we were allowed to pick any pitch we wanted.
Pitches. We stayed in E08. The grass was well cut, the pitch was flat/level and easy to peg with ample space for our car (Ford Galaxy)
Toilet Block. Was cleaned daily sometimes twice a day, there was constant hot water and the showers are free. There is a disabled toilet on the block which was separated. There is a drinking water tap and a waste water tap and four large washing up sinks all with constant hot water.
Play Equipment. There are two large and two small Multi Use Games Apparatus (basket ball/football ect) and a large wooden play equipment (swings/slides ect) facing all in good condition.
Swimming Pool. Is fairly large (not heated) with a water slide, they offer scuba lessons, water football and water polo sessions at small charge (£1 - £2.50)the pool is in good condition the only possible problem is that in the changing rooms there are no benches just pegs and the floor can be wet (we managed to get dry and stay dry)
Shops. The chip shop is reasonable but slow service (you can get much better off site) the site supermarket has lots to offer and is reasonable (there is a Somerfield at the end of the road, out the site and left)
Pubs/Arcade/Entertainment. There are three pubs on site. The Farm House Inn stand alone pub nice decor, Sky TV (Football)in the morning this bar does a breakfast for only £1.99 one hash brown, egg, sausage, bacon and beans, Toast 99p extra for two thick slices and to be honest set us up for the day every morning (buy this with the toast and not the £2.99 one as you only get mushrooms extra and tomatoes instead of beans) There is a large bar called The Sands Bar this is the area where the bingo, Sparky and other entertainment is played ect. This isn't as nice as the other two bars due to the tables being unclean (sticky most nights). For me the best bar when open is Coco's there was a quiz, singers, disco and comedian and is clean. The prices are resonable 4 pint pitcher for £10.10p (often wondered why the 10p but hey) Carling only larger on tap, there are shots for £1 but warning I saw many person ill the next day from over doing it with the shots. The arcade is faily large with two pool tables. You will be asked to show you pass on most occasions even if going for ciggy, so keep pass handy.
Attractions, there is a fair about 10- 15 minutes walk from site, plus a baby fair and arcade by beach. The beach is on 10 minutes away from site and comprises of pebbles and sand (really nice) Llandudno is 25 minutes away by car and caenarfon is about 35 - 40 minutes would recommend a visit to both. Banks & Tescos are in abergele, 5 minutes by car.
All in all for a first time camper with three children to keep happy we found the site offered everything we needed and everything else was within a near locality. I would go back without hesitation. Enjoy.

We arrived on Saturday 12 September with only a few places left to pitch the caravan. The site was already pretty full and my first impressions was to get out of there. But reluctantly my husband talked me in to staying the two nights that we had booked. I must say though that the site is well equipped for children and lots to do. But as for the toilets well I would not even take my dog into them. I watched a member of staff clean the floor with a mop which she used from one end of the ladies toilets to the other without rinsing it, the smell was terrible (as a cloth that had been left wet for ages).

We had been given a tent so we thought we would make us of it I had checked out a few reviews on campsite uk but we wanted some where that had all the facilities as we had not got all the camping gear. As I didn't want to buy the whole set up in case I didn't enjoy it. So we had decided that we want to stay on a site in Towyn as we have a three year old to keep content plus I spent many years as a child holidaying in Towyn. We bit the bullet and took the chance, so we booked the bank holiday weekend. And I'm glad we chose the TY MAWR, on arrival we were directed by a security guard to reception and we were given passes. The staff were friendly and polite. We were given directions to were to set up the tent we were on the dog walking field which I wasn't to keen on as in some reviews this field wasn't too good. As we approached the field it was full of tents we were not allocated a pitch we could set up where we wanted to. So we found a good site by the hedge which gave us some protection from the elements and we could tie our dog to the fence. And to my surprise there was not dog foul every where. We started putting a nine man tent up and we had plenty of room for it and able to park the car as well. The ground was good and the grass was not too long. We were attempting to put the tent up, by this I mean it was like something from a carry on film as there was no instruction with the tent and we were definitely entertainment for the other campers watching us. Then a lady from one of the other tents took pity on us and came and showed us how to do put the tent up which I was really grateful for as I was rolling around under a deflated tent trying to put rooms in .I also noticed that there was a lot of security guys walking around the fields which put your mind at rest about your belongings when you're not there.
After we had managed to get the tent up we had a walk round, the camp was clean and tidy. There was a shower block and toilets in the next field to where we were pitched. Even though they were a port a cabin styl they were always clean and tidy. Unfortunately I can not comment on the food as we ate out but from what I saw on the menu it looked nice and reasonably priced. If you do decided to eat off site I would recommend the Hungry Horse just situated just over the blue bridge coming out of Rhyl heading towards Towyn as this is where we ate the first night and totally enjoyed it and there's a play barn for the kids for £1.00 entry. Then we went up to Rhyl for an hour on the amusement arcades.
We went back to the tent to get changed, which was quite difficult with only to wind up lights, next time we come will make sure we book a electric hook up pitch. We didn't get in to the club house till about 11.30pm and once again there were security guards on the doors and walking the camp. The club was still busy but there was plenty of tables to choose from. There was a singer on and a disco and in the Coco Bar there was a stand up comedian on but we couldn't watch him as children weren't allowed. The drinks were reasonably priced I think we paid £5.56 for two pints and it was open till 1.30am. It had a friendly atmosphere and the staff were friendly and helpful. On entering the club there are arcade games for the children to keep them amused and a snack bar that does hot dogs and burgers .There is also a chip shop by the club house but this shuts a 9.00pm. As we had had a couple of drinks we had to walk back to the tent. The pathways were well lit. And we slept like logs even our three year old as I was worried that he wouldn't sleep with it been his first time in a tent but I did take a travel cot, so that he couldn't escape.
You do hear a bit of noise from the other tents, but the fresh air knocks you out. The next morning I woke about 7.30am by other campers bBut we didn't mind this as we had more time to do things. We headed to Rhyl it is a bit of a drive but if you don't have a car there are buses that run regularly from outside the campsite .We had breakfast at the corner cafe I thought it was quite expensive for what you got and we had wished that we had one on the campsite.
We then took the dog for a walk on Rhyl beach. The beach was clean and my boyfriend even went for a paddle. There was plenty of things to do and there was even music event on the promenade with b list celebrities eg.X factor. There was also Red Arrows Parachute display team. There is a fair just for toddlers, which was not bad priced £1.50 a token which our toddler totally enjoyed, and there was even donkey rides on the sea front, which brought back childhood memories back. There are a few places in Rhyl that are run down but from some of the council notices, they are investing in regenerating the area
We then went down to towyn and there are a few bars and 2 fun fairs its about £7.00 for half a day wrist band. We stayed on the campsite again that night there was a band on and then the singer that was on the night before and a disco and in cocos there was karaoke. It was open till 1.00AM again and that was on a Sunday. When we were sitting having a drink, Lez Battersby from coronation street was sitting on the next table. A really nice man, he was on holiday on the campsite. I can not knock the security guards, my toddler ran out of the front of the club house door and they grabbed him. We had a really enjoyable evening again.
The next day we packed the tent and car up, and then went for a swim in the pool.It was a bit dated but again it was clean and tidy and so were the cubicles. After we had had a swim we decided to spend the rest of the day at Colwyn Bay Mountain Zoo. It was a bit difficult to find but it was well worth the money, we paid £24.50 for two adults and one child and we spent 5 hours there .I loved just watching the sea lions swim in their tank as there are glass sides so you can actually see them swimming. There a two cafes and the food was good and reasonably priced. They do talks on some of the animals they do a sealion show, a penguin and parrot and if weather permitting a falconry display. I would recommend a day out there.
I would recommend the Ty Mawr campsite to anyone. We had a wonderful weekend, and all our needs were catered for. The only bug bear was the price at £32 a nifgt but it was Bank Holiday weekend. We are already planning to go back to the Ty Mawr in a couple of weeks. I have caught the camping bug I love it, and this time I'm buying all the gear, not that you need it we managed with out it and we had a great weekend.

First of all contact the park direct if you can because we were given wrong information about the size of pitches .
On arrival 25 th august 2009 we were told by the head office that caravans over 21ft will struggle to get a pitch big enough so we were already by that time fearing that we couldn't get on , we got there and to our amazement there was bigger vans there than ours the pitches were infact very big we had full awning with both annexs on wind break and still room for the car.
The amenities were basic , the toilets were out of date BUT very clean a credit to the cleaners there. There was a park for the kids but a little out of the way really from the touring pitches. The pool described needs updating its just simply a pool with a slide in which when we used the pool the slide was out of order . Its got a good shop , friendly reception team. The club had good artist on the only thing wrong with the club a little to small for the size of park , the kids loved the arcade .
All though the park states that dogs had to remain on leads we found a few of them with out leads thus dog mess here and there . Off the park we found traffic into Towyn horrendous every day, backed up. You can walk to Towyn, there are a few shops pubs etc. There is also funfair @ tyr prince race course with a market on wed, fri, sun apart from that's it. Rhyl is close to my heart as I spent holidays there as a child and enjoyed every holiday there but, and this is a big but, Rhyl is quite run down it needs money injecting into the town to make it great again

We went with friends at the beginning of august and they arrived about an hour before us. When we arrived told to park anywhere and nobody checked the validity of passes for their stay. It is a great site for kids with plenty to do but if you have a dog there is only a mall area for exercising them other than taking them to the beach. The toilet facilities could do with updating or at least a maintenance crew to tour them to fix leaking fittings and water damaged sink tops (the nearest one to us had a worktop with the sinks built in that was falling apart due to water ingress at least for 12 months). Other than that it is a good site with plenty to do and the towyn market is great ( if you are there for a few days buy your meat from the butchers van there we got 10 fillet steaks for £10 and they were great 'in fact fill your car on the way home ready for the freezer(we are going back to do this later this month)'. At £40 a night on the summer over a weekend it was expensive they surely could do something about that especially with the lack of maintenance within the facilities.

I have been to this site for the past three years for as couple of days here and there. And on the whole it wasn't too bad, the last time it was a poor experience.
I think the reason was we went over a weekend, some people were there just to party and they did, into the morning. This when you have two young kids is not good.
The site is good for a base for Rhyl etc.
Not a long walk to the nearest beach the the site opposite, but unfortunately the beach is a stone one.
Entertainment at night was good although the pool during the day wasn't always open or always clean.
The site itself was large although a little cramped with the markings for the plots being overgrown, and the showers were always clean although a bit of a squeeze if you were on the large side.
As I say a good site as a base for travel and if you don't mind being kept awake

We pitched on this site for 8 nights and we were on the Meadows site not the Warren which always seems to be quite full.On the whole we were impressed by this site as for £156 we had 8 nights and that included £3 per night for our dog. Pitches were grass and flat so no problem there and toilets were portacabin type but again very good. Showers were free but they were locked at 8pm each night. In with your fees you receive passes to all the facilities which include swimming pool, bars etc.
Enjoyed it more through the week as at weekend it gets very busy and people pitch quite close to you as pitches are not marked out.Its also on first come first served basis so you can't reserve your pitch. Dog walk is just a small path to where they dump rubbish and its not very big. Dogs are meant to be on leads but we encountered two that were running free all the time. Shame people don't comply with the rules.
Security patrol on foot at weekends but really we had no problems with noise etc even though there were single sex groups on site.One word of warning is that from school summer hols fees go up to £40 per night which I think is scandalous as we only paid £16.50 plus £3.00 for our dog (awnings are free).
Out of high season this is a great site and we will return.

Just got back from spending 3 nights here, didn't have high expectations after reading some of the reviews on here but we have had a great time.
Arrived at about 9pm so the reception area was closed but was directed to the main bar area where we were given our passes and told where we were able to pitch. We chose the Meadows and pitched along the back hedge. By 10pm we were ready to try out the entertainment and spent the night in the onsite club where prices were no different than what we would pay at home.
During our stay we walked into Rhyll, the nearby beach and Towyn where again food & drink prices were good.
Toilets and showers were kept clean and I didn't have to queue once, all the staff we spoke to were friendly and the onsite pub was great for breakfast and I could even get my Costa Coffee fix.
We are already planning on returning to Ty Mawr later this year.

We visited this site at the tail end of June '09 during the heatwave. I was a bit put off beforehand after reading some of the reviews, but, as this was our first outing with our new (read old) Dandy 6 folding camper, we wanted somewhere within an hour or so of our home in Merseyside. We also wanted a commercial type site with a pool and kids club to entertain ourselves and our three young lads. Not everyone's cup of tea I know, but horses for courses.
Finding the site is easy and check-in was painless. I expected to be allocated a pitch but as others point out, you choose yourself. Upon arrival you are given passes to get entry to the entertainment facilities (you only need these of a night time) a map of the site and a few details of what's on. The label to attach to your unit makes it clear that all unites should leave 6metres of clear space between your fellow campers and people do try to honour this. We stayed on the Warren field and found it freshly mowed with zero litter. The pitches are flat, no pot-holes in the roads, lots of regularly spaced hook-up points.
The shower block was kept spotless with soap and tissue paper. Though my observation is that it is the users of the facilities that left a little litter in the shower blocks - not the fault of the wardens. The showers are good and the cubicles split in two so you don't get your clothes soaked in use. The showers are button press and you may get 15-seconds use between presses but I had no problem with this.
The site is well equipped - excellent pool with slide. The pool was never too packed even on a busy half-term-holiday/FA cup final weekend; the adventure park is well equipped and we were happy to let our kids mix there. No surprise that the evening shows are geared around kids disco, dance competitions, cabaret and the odd boys vs' girls audience competitions. However, my kids loved it to bits and cried when they had to leave. The show host do give out lots of prizes and everyone is included.
The cabaret bands were good and the drinks prices are fair. The food at the onsite bar and restaurant was fine - standard pub grub, price was ok, portions big and staff were attentive. We'd heard good reports of the on-site chip-shop and it was busy. The supermarket was well stocked and the prices were the same as the hight street.
We found the campers respected each other and as to be expected with it being a family site, there were lots of groups of kids playing, meeting, exploring and having a laugh. However, the site was nice and quiet after sundown and we had no problems with noise or trouble.
In short, we went with low expectations planning to stay two days and as the weather was excellent and the nightly price so cheap, we extended the stay for a week.
Having experienced a few Haven sites, this site is much smaller with equivalent facilities. For me, this gets a thumbs up. The pool never gets too packed and you can usually quickly find a table in the club after a quick search each evening. We found the other campsite users to be nice people - respectful and looking to keep the kids safe and behaved.
A lovely surprise and great break. We visited Towyn, Rhyl, Conwy Castle and Llandudno. All easy an easy drive/bus journey away. The sun centre has been refurbished nicely and is a great rainy day insurance policy.
A mention must also go to the staff and management at the Knightly restaurant and entertainment complex at the end of Sandbank Road in Towyn. As the weather was in the late 20's, Towyn felt like Spain. We had an excellent al-fresco meal, great service, an excellent kids show and a brilliant evening. Very family orientated with great prices. Give it a try.

We booked Ty Mawr at the very last minute. I wasn't impressed by the reviews I had read, but everywhere else was booked up so we decided it was better than staying at home. Which it was thanks to the sunny weather and the nearby sandy beaches.
The place itself is ok, close to the beach and the onsite facilities looked ok too (club/pool etc) although we didn't try them ourselves.
When we arrived we were directed towards the field and told to camp anywhere. The site was covered in litter despite there being plenty of bins dotted around.
The toilets are terrible. Portakabins like you would find at a temporary festival site. They were dirty and rarely had supplies of toilet roll. We used bottled water to clean our teeth at the tent because they were so bad!
The showers were also portakabins but were in a better condition than the toilets although they went from boiling hot to freezing cold and back again every few seconds.
There were a lot of large groups on the site and although I have no objections to people having fun, when the loud music and cheering is still going on past midnight on a family site it is unreasonable. Security did try to intervene, but two mintues after they had gone the music was back up and they never returned to sort it out. In the end it was neighbouring campers who had to approach the group to ask them to be quiet.
It was very expensive as there is no option to book without the use of the club/pool etc, we paid £64 for 2 nights.
It was worth it for a couple of days by the sea, but if I could've booked elsewhere I would have. The toilets really do need sorting out, for the cost of the pitch campers shouldn't be made to feel like second class citizens.
