 We stayed at the park over the bank holiday weekend in May 09.
The site was packed, full of tourers and tents,
The good points
The pitch was level and had plenty of room
The pool
The kids play area
We were only staying 2 nights
The bad points
The toilets were porto cabins and were disgusting, no Loo rolls, No soap to wash your hands.
No-one on the site seemed to be bothered about how loud there music was and how late it went on, Don`t get me wrong I`m all for having a good time, but when it's still going on at 4am its beyond a joke. Most site`s are normally strict about having music off and to respect other holiday makers, after 11pm, but not here!, The 2 nights were the same.
The Club was way tooooo loud and our kids could not handle it and we had to leave. The entertainment (resident group) were terrible.
We tried to get food from the takeaway, 1 person cooking and serving, We waited about 45mins to get served.

Very tidy, very commercial site. Pool was great and the kids loved the play area.
There were only statics around the main facilities with the camping fields a little further back.
We were situated very close to the evening entertainment building which played very loud music until near midnight every night. This is not normally a problem unless you have small kids who need to be in bed early!
We visited a few attractions around the area but most were a good 30 minute plus drive away. However there's a fantastic indoor swimming pool just up the road which is a must visit if you have a family.

We come here most years either early or late season to take advantage of the reduced fees,you can camp for £5 or £8 with EHU per night for the pitch, we had 4 adults a dog & EHU all for the £8 but it does go up for Friday & Saturday night when it fills up.
The site itself is a large typical commercial site geared up for families with children but having said that you get access to the heated indoor pool with an hour in the morning for adults only.
There is also the usual arcade, chippy, 3 bars, one does food which I'm told is OK & cabaret, the guest turns can be alright but not sure about the residents but the kids seem to love it.
The pitches are spacious with a hook up between every 4 & a tap with a grid is never far away.
The grass is level & easy to get pegs in.
The fields are divided into 3, a large touring field behind the club house with roads running through it for access but you park on the grass next to your unit.
This field has a brick amenities block with toilets & showers which can get muddy when wet & busy but the staff do come round & try to keep on top of things.
The second field is at the far end of the site in a separate field which has portacabin toilets & showers, these can be a little cramped but do the job there is also a wide disabled unit with a ramp on the end of this.
This field is open in peak season & at weekends when its busy (when the sun is out)
This field also has taps & EHU in it & is also level.
Please note these first 2 fields are behind a hedge directly onto the main road so it can be noisy but quietens right down at night.You might be better getting to the back of these fields but its never bothered us being townies.
The third field is at the back of the second & is an overflow field with nothing on it at all, it is also used as the dog walk so beware.
Although Abergele is just out of the gate we turned left & went to Pensarn which is just down the road & has 2 good pubs ,1 does food the other is a beer house,has a supermarket & has access onto the beach for cars, the top is pebbles & shingle but goes onto sand as the tide goes out, beware of the 2 bays in front of the station as they have an ancient peat bed in them & the groynes hold the slime which can be deep & extremely mucky especially if you have kids or dogs, trust me I know.
You are 5 minutes from the A55 so all North Wales is easier to get to,15 minutes Llandudno 30 minutes Anglesey.
All in all its what you would expect from this kind of site . It can get noisy at weekends but for the money its a bargain except school holidays when its a lot dearer & we avoid like the plague.

After reading the reviews I was necessarily cautious about this camp site, especially as we had booked to leave the van on from 22 August to 30 October, however, we were pleasantly surprised. We arrived the Friday afternoon of the bank holiday weekend and there were still quite a few pitches available, most of a reasonable size.
We did find the toilet blocks tatty and the main shower block closed too early, the cubicles were too also too small and the water not hot enough to my liking.
The club is typical of a site of this sort, although some of the entertainment was pretty poor especially the resident band, who seemed to appear on stage at some point every night. The ‘Stage Shows’ performed by the entertainment staff were also a waste of space. Nevertheless we had a good time because of the company we were in (my parents, kids and friends made on site). The bands and artists that were booked to perform provided the best entertainment.
My preferable evenings out involved going into the centre of Towyn in the Knighleys complex (near the fair) and Sandy Bay Inn. Entertainment was provided for both adults and children and the drinks didn’t seem to be too expensive. On the way into the centre the Wendover Pub provided a stopgap with a family room with pool, darts etc.
The local Chinese restaurant ‘China Towyn’ was nice, the food plentiful and delicious. We also ate at the Long Cocktail Lounge and the meals there were good value for money. Claire’s Café (follow the road to the left at the amusements) provides a fabulous breakfast including tea or coffee, hash brown, black pudding and toast, all for £3.45.
Having spent a further two long weekends in addition to our week’s holiday in August I’m still looking forward to having more weekends there until the end of the season. This is an ideal site for fun loving people with children that enjoy being able to venture off site without having to take the car!

Lovely site, ideal for families though very commercial.
The local town Abergele is small and busy and has loads of character.
Had lunch on a couple occasions at the The Bee hotel. Food was fantastic and the chef very accommodating, home-cooked and local produce. Delightful.
The hotel has a huge beer garden which is great for the kids leaving plenty of room for us adults.
Well worth the visit would recommend to all.

Stay got off to a bad start as I had booked (and been assured of) two pitches together, only to find on arrival that none had been allocated at all and it was see what you can get. On inspection of the EHU field you had a job to find one pitch let alone two. Had resigned ourselves to giving up on electric and pitching on the camping field, when a security guard arrived and asked us for I.D. Explained the situation and he said to wait. Within 5 mins he was back and had found two adjacent pitches (which I'm sure weren't there previously). Pitched on these only to find that the electricity didn't work. Guy next door gave us the use of an extension lead to his connection, thanks for that.
Toilet/shower facilities adequate though never clean enough. Didn't use pool/club etc. Although it didn't bother me the noise cufew wasn't very well adhered to and could well inconvenience light sleepers. Pitches reasonably level and of a good size. Overall although we had a good weekend I would not return.

Arrived around lunch time after a long drive from the south coast of England only to be meet by an unhappy gate man / security person, no information given or offered simply told where NOT to park and then he walked away.
The booking in reception was not sign posted as we could see and took myself and my “disabled” wife a while to find, hidden around a corner, my wife suffering from a muscle weakness, this needs to have clear signs posted
On speaking to a very friendly young lady in reception we were given our pitch details down at the Warren, also told (and I quote) “If there is someone on your designated pitch, just move to the next available empty pitch but come and let us know where you are”
Found our designated pitch in use and the only one available as per instructions can only be described as a dirt bowl, not amused at all after paying £504 for a two week stay. There seemed to be no control as to where people would pitch and to one side other campers encroached on our pitch with no concern, seems this was a everyday issue around the Warren area with wind breaks and “boundaries” being put up all over the place.
Pot holes on most of the access roads around the camp to an approx depth of 4”, on other roads the speed humps have been built up far too large for smaller vehicles to negotiate without hitting the back end coming down the other side, very narrow but approx 6” tall.
We had to endure loud music but not from other campers, this came from the maintenance building that was directly behind our pitch on the Warren area between E3 and E6 pitches)
Gents toilet block on the Warren was dirty, cleaners only seemed to mop the areas that needed it, I watched this myself as the areas under the urinals and around the toilet bowls were the only areas moped. Along with this there were stains on the cubical partition walls and within one cubical I noticed an empty half bottle of Bacardi and stained underwear that were not removed for three days, also stains, dust and dirt on the top section of the toilet tiles close to the floor which shows there has been very little cleaning carried out for a period of time.
The ladies toilets were not much better, (as informed by my wife) with toilet paper all over the floor and the sinks clogged up with tissue and soap, this would be like this for around 3 to 4 days before being cleaned. Puddles of water would appear on the floor after the cleaners had been in, as if they had just thrown a bucket of water over the floor instead of using a mop.
Dog crap around our pitch and seen in other areas of the park, not good for anyone and a health hazard especially for smaller children, I have to say signs are posted to the dog walking area which the majority of dog owners seem to ignore totally.
We arrived on a Saturday and though we did see the large wheelie bins being emptied (but not until the Monday) they seemed to fill up just a quickly and the seagulls had a field day, rubbish and waste around the bins and being carried around the park by the seagulls, with the amount of money they make you would think that if needed another one or two rubbish collections per week would resolve this problem.
Drainage was poor and we ended up having to resort to building a small soil and sand wall around one side of the trailer tent and going out and buying more tarpaulins to stop the water / rain from coming in, also access roads had speed humps in inappropriate places and therefore rain water did not drain away, covering the width of some access roads and making us either walk around the long way (remember my disabled wife) or having to walk across the rain sodden grass getting muddy before we even got anywhere. (I appreciate they had no control over the weather, but decent drainage of the pitches and sensible placements of the speed humps would alleviate this problem)
The men’s showers within the Warren area faired no better, missing and broken off clothes hooks on backs of doors, missing and broken off soap trays, damaged locks, when attempting to shower you had to be quick due to the water turning off every few seconds and having to press the button in again, Want a nice relaxing shower after a day out,?? You won’t get one at this park. Only good point is that the water was nice and warm if you could keep it running.
If you want a shower after around 9pm or before approx. 9am you had not chance unless you were in the first two to get into the shower block as they would close a shutter on the main shower and toilet area, this also caused a problem when numerous male campers had to queue to use the only two toilet cubicles available when everything else was shut down, just great after a night on the town. The ladies showers were also closed off at the same time, leaving the same problems as described above.
Resident band “Revolution” WHAT CAN I SAY, Mmm OK, the best member of the band was the drummer, why?, simple, he never attempted to sing, guitarist / keyboards rough, loud singing did not complement the lead singer who despite having a good voice was simply not strong enough for the venue or the chosen songs. (just a suggestion, maybe they need to change the name of the band to Revoltion)
As for a clown called Camp David, what a waste of space, faulty equipment, crap gags, singing ?? I thought it was a karaoke night, thank god he cut his spot short. The wrestlers were not much better, failed to entertain and then turned on the audience due to their lack of interest, (Mm Rick Flair tag partner, just take up Ballet)
Even the entertainment halls gents toilets remained dirty throughout our two-week visit, no matter what time of day we used them they always seemed dirty and remained smelly. The park shop was overpriced and we went elsewhere for fish & chips as these were not to our liking.
Within the arcade numerous slot machines were not working, not just for a day or so but throughout our two week stay, the ten pin bowling machine was broken as my daughter found out and we had to hunt for someone to refund the money, this took an age
Two highlights in relation to the entertainment of the park came with a Lee Evans tribute artist who was FANTASTIC and a Bee Gees tribute band again FANTASTIC, WOW two evenings decent entertainment over the two weeks for the price we paid for our holiday, well thank our lucky stars.
If you do visit this park, take our word for the entertainment and simply stroll across the road to the Golden Gate Cabaret Club, open to all parks in the area with very good performers / a decent fish & chip shop and an arcade with slot machines that work and offer better enjoyment with only two machines out of order throughout our two week stay. Evne the Pool table was half the price of that within Ty Mawr at 50p a game.

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.
