Nice, but a little expensive for the level of facilities

The site is nice and quiet and in a good location for a local pub (definitely worth a visit ) and the local beach and walks in the forest. The only negative is that the toilet and show facilities are quite old and could do with a bit of a spruce up. The doors to the shower and toilet room have opaque glass which means privacy is reduced. A curtain or blind that can be drawn across the door when its in use could resolve them uncomfortable feeling of being disturbed by someone approaching the door when you're inside. Overall there are other sites that offer better value that we have used in the past, but it is quiet and a good location.

A slice of Heaven

We have been here numerous times over the years, and it never fails to delight us. The campsite is situated within the grounds of the Anglesey Transport Museum and cafe. There is a playground for children. Well behaved dogs on leads are welcomed to the site. The pitches are all hard standing and well maintained. Can verify that they are all levelled due to having a vintage folding caravan that need to be levelled in order to be put up correctly. There is a toilet and separate shower situated to the side of the museum. Both were well maintained with supply of toilet paper and soap. The owners are lovely friendly people and have a great team working for them. We were impressed by the young people serving us in the cafe who were polite, friendly and smiley. The food in the cafe is very tasty. At times it can get busy and you may have a little wait, but it’s worth it. Beside you are on holiday so just relax and enjoy looking at the scenery/talk to your fellow companions, rather than trying to rush through your day. The museum is well worth a visit with numerous forms of transport to look at. In particular there is a cracking display of military vehicles. There is a large field on the campsite which is perfect to play games on, when not playing in the playground. Our kids love the freedom and space this site offers them. We love the fact that it is safe and secured in beautiful surroundings. There are plenty of places to visit in the area aside from the excellent Transport Museum on site. We would recommend Stone Science (Dinos and fossils), Plas Newydd (National Trust), Beaumaris Castle, South Stacks and a particular favourite of ours is Newborough Beach which you access via driving through the forest (there is a charge for parking, but plenty of spaces and toilets near the beach). Honestly this place is like a little slice of Heaven, if you need a place to retreat to whilst recharging your batteries. It really is good for one’s health as we always leave feeling totally relaxed.

Unwelcoming

This CL is part of a commercial operation that also has a Transport Museum, Café, Kids Playground and two army trucks used for Glamping. The site was quiet at night, level and spacious, with views of Snowdonia. Some pitches had a picnic table, and there is one loo and one shower. There is a cold tap behind one pitch. All nice enough but the premium price of £25 a night is hard to justify. We booked online well in advance for a Saturday and Sunday night via the Museum website, and paid in full. We didn’t spot that no confirmation email ever came, maybe it went to spam. Upon arrival and giving our name, the woman from the café wanted our booking number instead. Checks on our phones revealed no email confirmation. She made a phone call and was then quite insistent that they had no such booking for the weekend, and repeatedly asked if we had booked under a different name (no) or booked one of the many nearby CLs (no). Only after more time on the phone did she come out and say that in fact we were booked in. If there was an apology within the verbal flow I didn’t hear it. Just the sort of stressful encounter one can do without on holiday. We had planned to visit the museum and café, but after this show of condescending attitude to customers we spent our money elsewhere. There are plenty of welcoming CLs on Anglesey, so we won’t be returning to this one.

Fantastic CL!

This CL is definitely the best one we have ever stayed on in recent years. The friendliness of the owners and their family was superb, extremely helpful and genial. The site was immaculate with excellent generous sized pitches. We wished we had our grandchildren with us to take advantage of the play area as it was excellent with a range of swings, slides and roundabouts. there was a large area of lawn ideal for football or tennis. The facilities (shower and toilet) were clean and awaiting an upgrade which has been delayed due to a supply issue The transport museum on site was interesting, well worth a couple of hours perusing around out of the rain. There was also a café on site which sold a range of freshly cooked very reasonably priced foods, an excellent range of home baked cakes including cream teas, but best of all was the ice-cream and gelato especially the honeycomb and chocolate flake varieties. Thank you for one of the loveliest weeks we've ever spent, your passion to provide excellence is outstanding.

Lovely site

A very pleasant, spacious site with an open aspect. Friendly welcome from chatty lady shortly after arrival. Big skies, lovely views to Snowdonia, great sunsets, handy for Newborough Warren and a fantastic beach. Points to note: 1) Hardstandings are fairly narrow - perhaps 2.4m/8ft. Not a problem in dry weather, but when it's wet underfoot, muddy pretty quickly. 2) Only water tap I could see was behind the corner pitch. If someone is pitched here, motorhomes would be stumped to fill up. 3). Very clean toilet & shower (unheated!) behind the cafe, so if you are emptying your black waste, you have to walk the length of the cafe frontage. Hmm. 4) No motorhome emptying point. 5) There is a huge workshop behind the hedge. You might get occasional noise from a radio, spanners being dropped etc. However, on balance, the workshop shields you from a very fast road. Would we visit again. Certainly. Care required travelling over from A55.

Fabulous CL in every way

We have just returned from a 2 night stay at Tyddyn Pwrpas. The hosts were very warm and welcoming. The site is very well maintained and the facilities exceptionally clean and COVID secure. There was an slight problem with the mains water having to be turned off for emergency work - this was not an issue as the hosts kindly brought bottled water over to us for the 2 hours water was unavailable . We will definitely return and recommend this site 100%

A great return to Tyddyn Pwrpas & our 100 night celebration!!

We have just returned from Anglesey following a 15 night stay at the CL at Tyddyn Pwrpas. During the holiday we passed a landmark "one hundred nights" on the site (across nine visits) and had continued where we had left off previously. The warmth of our welcome was just great and, we were able to enjoy a stay which was really peaceful - and we also had to suffer fantastic weather too (truly out of the ordinary). Our two grandsons joined us for five nights during the weekends and made full use of the terrific play area whenever they were on site with us. The site is very easy to access; has fantastic scenery and places of interest abound on the island. Anglesey had it all in the crossover from June into July! In addition to this, we were joined by friends from the English west country on their second visit to the site and, they commented how they were very pleased to have taken the trouble to do a tour around the Motor Museum during this visit. They said that it should be on visitors to the island's "must do list." This little gem of a site and its owners deserve high praise for the improvements they have made year on year. We look forward to staying here again in 2020!! Thanks to Arfon, Sarah & Chris once again - keep up the good work!

A Fabulous Site - can definitely recommend!

We have just returned from our second stay on this site and as before have had a great time. The site is well maintained. The pitches have great views and are well spaced out. The toilet and shower are very clean and roomy. The staff and owners are cheerful and helpful. The Transport Museum is completely separate -the CL site being through a closed gate into the field at the back and, despite our being there during the busy school holidays, had absolutely no impact on the peaceful ambience of the CL site. Our daughter loved the playground, which is shared by the museum but is also far enough away from the caravans that any children visiting the museum and using it do not disturb the CL site. The site is easily accessed on good roads and well located for all the attractions on Anglesey, especially Newborough beach which is a cycle ride away. Pay absolutely no attention to the two (old) bad reviews below. We wholeheartedly recommend this site.

Worth more that 5 stars!!

Would love to give this place a 100 out of 5 but sadly it wont let me. Love the staff they are so polite, the owner ,arfon, is always about and a great laugh to chat to. Chris and sarah are amazing hosts. Your left to your own devices, beautiful veiws of Snowdonia. Plenty of space between each pitch! The cafe serves amazing home cooked meals and cakes. It is great watching the wild life roam around the fields, we have seen foxes, rabbit, squirrels and many more!! There is a big park for children to play on right at the back of the cafe which you afe able to oversee from your caravan/motorhome! The museum is a must see, amazingly restored cars and motorcycles. Loved the fact that they had david jasons motorcycle! There is a separate shower for campers and separate toilet which are cleaned every night. Would highly recommend coming here. Second time coming here this year and will definitely be coming again in the coming months!

Heaven on earth

What a gorgeous place to stop with your caravan. We have just had a wonderful week, peace and quiet, lovely weather and to top it all a fantastic show of classic cars turned up to the museum on the Sunday. Two mornings we had breakfast in the cafe and one afternoon we had coffee and some home made cake. Everything was excellent and a bonus as far as I was concerned was the coffee was hot! We are looking on the calendar to see when we can return. If you are into cars the museum is a must visit too, It was like walking back in time.
