Written on: 17/08/2012
Upon arrival at 5.15pm reception closed, didnt know where to pitch up after 5 hours in car with 2 children. Bad language over heard from staff. People on site drunk, loud and bad language, not suitable if you have children! The whole camp site rather shabby and need updating or at least kept clean!!!!!! (read more)

“Would Not Recommend! ”
Written on: 08/07/2011
We are here now. We have two babies and have been place in a caravan right next to the entertainment - it is so loud and vibrates through the beds, you can hear every word. If you have children under 5 don't waste your money staying here! I guess camping is different but I wouldn't recommend a stay in their caravans - Why? Well mainly the noise, our two wouldn't settle at night. The bed sheets don't fit the double bed and ours have holes in. There is nothing for little ones to do, there... (read more)

We have now stayed at quite a few parks but this one has to be the most NOISIEST of all. If you ever go there NEVER accept a van near the entertaining / (fun-slash)swimming pool, Why they ever bother putting anyone in these caravans right next to the entertainment block I will never know, the staff are clearly aware of the noise problem but do nothing, In fact these vans should be moved and the land turned into a picnic site.
The building is not sound proofed and the swimming pool as two air vents making a noise enough to keep you awake all night, For us the vents were the problem, the entertainment noise stopped at 11pm a constant humming all night with the flaps on the vents rattling keeping us awake, alter complaining I was told at first they cannot be turned off at night, but alter repeatedly complaining they decided to turn them off at night but this happened on our last day there. To add to this you have security vans going by the vans in the middle of the night just to make sure your still awake. If you have young children this is not the place for you. We were in H-3 caravan with two vans even closer than us to the noise, God knows how they managed to sleep. No matter how much you pay weather it be £100 or £500 we should be all treated to same degree of respect and consideration.
WE WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS ONE. A shame as it was a good base to explore north Wales.
LACK OF SLEEP SPOILT OUR STAY.

Park Resorts - Ty Mawr - Rhyl - On arrival our initial thoughts were it seemed a nice caravan sight...How wrong we were! Check-in was quick and easy and initially the caravan seemed clean. When we were un-packing I found a reciept from August (we were there the end of October!) a sweet of somesort and dirty tissues under the bed in the main bedroom, there was a hair in the bottom of the shower and the toilet hadnt been well cleaned either. There were duvets and pillows although no bedding... (read more)

We sayed here this year 2011. And not a problem at all creating amazing memories it did for us. So let me just add That the staff on the camp cant keep rain off the park so that what you sed about a boggy mess is stupid. As well as the zip wire being locked up if you would of asked a member of staff about it they would tell you that it is out of order due to it hanging low, So really there doing you a favour by not letting your kids ass drag along the floor. Thanks

Would not recommend this site to anyone. My family went to Ty Mawr in August we booked a silver plus caravan which is supposed to sleep eight but there was only six of us four adults two children and there was not enough space to move let alone hang clothes. Your legs bang off the radiator in toilet etc etc.
The site was ok but needs good clean,Play park not appropriate for very young children as over run with older children.

Written on: 08/09/2010 by ren1973 (1 review written)
We have recently returned from a holiday at Ty Mawr, where we stopped in a gold rated caravan. The caravan itself was fine, however the sheets didn't fit the double bed and the single duvet was holed. The general cleanliness was OK, however we did find a sock, used hanky & pen down the side of the seats.
The pool was fine and the play areas great for the kids. Sadly I can not say the same for the entertainment. The first few rows of the clubhouse stank of vomit & I waited over 20 mins to get...

We have just returned from our 5 day stay at Ty Mawr. On arrival we were told we had 2 areas to choose from to pitch our tent. The campsite was extremely full however we did find a really nice spot. Unfortunately it went downhill from there on in.
The shower blocks are very substandard dirty and smelt of urine. The showers are freezing on complaining to the receptionist I was told there was nothing they could do. Basically I had to shower in freezing water.

NEVER go to this place, its like hell, the toilets had faeces smeared all over the walls, the showers stank of pee, and the pool had green stuff growing on the surrounding walls.
here's my story, prepare yourself for the worst review ever.
my fianc e suffers from an illness called ceoliacs disease, which means she cannot eat foods with gluten in, all of the food served on the site (and the whole town in fact) was not gluten-free, so we had no choice but to eat the food, which was vile, but...

Written on: 22/08/2010
Just returned from a 7 night touring stay at Ty Mawr campsite, On arrival we had the choice of our own pitch, however this choice was very limited due to the amount of people already pitched. When we eventually found a suitable pitch we had to clear it of litter. The Shower block was substandard and dated with all showers having no water pressure what so ever, the smell on entering was off putting and they rarely seemed to be cleaned at all. We visited the club house on our second night and... (read more)

We have just returned a day early from Ty Mawr. Park Resorts. We chose an electric hook up pitch for our 3 day break. The ladies toilets were disgusting and the showers were no better, I wouldn't let my daughter use the showers. We had to queue to get in the pool then it was too packed to enjoy. The evening entertainment at Sands bar was so packed lots of families were left standing, the sports facilities shown on the web were useless to families as it was unsupervised and you could never...

We stayed in a silver caravan it was really nice, well equiped. But thats as good as it gets. The Entretainment was terrible. Swimming pool too small and is only open for 2 hour at a time so there is a lot of rushing. We stayed near big bins and they never got emptied. There was about 6 people playing bingo. Overall really bad and I wouldn't recommend anybody to go to ty mawr. (read more)

Just returned from a 4 night (mon-Fri) break at ty mawr. We have really enjoyed the week.
I was dreading it after reading the reviews but surprisingly it wasnt so bad!
We paid for a silver caravan - I cannot comment on the bronze standards, we only chose silver for the earlier check in time of 2.30 rather than 4.40.
Cheack in was quick and painless! Caravan was great, very clean, with disabled access (which was great for our pushchair!)Linen was provided which was also clean and beds...

Just back from a one week holiday at Ty Mawr in a static caravan.
The caravan was nice and well-equipped and quite clean except that no dusting had been done recently! The site is tidy and the grounds kept well. No litter lying around. I couldn't light the grill in our caravan (I'm not used to gas, we're electric at home) and when I went to reception for help they very quickly sent somebody to help who was very good humoured.

Written on: 23/09/2009
Absolutely worst campsite we have had the misfortune to visit. Rude and ignorant staff, stank of sewage, had security guards move a tent 3ft from the side of our tent when we had gone out - breaking not just law requirements of how far tents should be apart but also what they themselves stated!
Dirty, smelly disgusting toilet and showers even immediately after cleaner had finished.
Really cannot find the right words to describe how utterly appalling Ty Mawr is.
Do not waste your money!!

Just returned from a mon-fri break at tymawr. Had two fifteen year olds with us and there was absolutely nothing for them to do. It was all for little kids, sparky which completely did our heads in every night. We used the club over the road which was alot better. The caravan was tidy but for what we paid for 4 days I would have expected a bigger tele like the one in the brochure. The anchorage pub was very run down needs a face lift.

After reading some of the reviews on here, I wonder if they have been to the same Ty-Mawr as myself and my family.
Our caravan was very clean. All the staff we met were great with us. Our 2 young children loved the entertainment and the Adventure playground. We saw a family shouting and swearing at each other one night, but the Security men got them out of the club straight away. The security men were also very friendly Overall, (apart from 2 days rain) we enjoyed Ty-Mawr and will be going...

We were a bit worried having read lots of bad reviews about Ty Mawr Holiday Park, Rhyl. The standard caravan was very clean and though old well maintained. The pool was lovely though the changing rooms were dirty. The playground is good for all ages. The on site pub was fine, basic pub grub but it doesnt pretend to be anything else, polite staff and fairly reasonable. There was no entertainment but we did go out of season (April 2009) and were not charged an entertainment fee. The shop was... (read more)

i generally thought that Ty Mawr Holiday Park, Rhyl was a bit shabby but we had a good holiday. My children loved the swimming pool and the evening entertainment. Not once were we asked for our entertainment passes at all which to say we paid £5 per person for them was a bit of a rip off !!!!
The area was really nice and close enough to other outside activities.
The staff weren't particulary enthusiastic overall both entertainment staff and reception staff. The best night of entertainment...

Me and my two friends, visited this park last weekend. First impressions were good; Friendly welcome in reception etc, we were even allowed to have our caravan key, half an hour early. We paid for an upgrade from standard to silver class, but failed to notice any real difference. In fact, the silver caravan was smaller and more crammed-in than the roomier standard accommodation.
The park is ideally situated as a base to North and Mid-Wales coast and Snowdonia National Park.

A pity how much this site has deteriorated. Unless they screen the people going there a bit more (or ban tents), and find some staff that have a bit of pride in the place then it is going knowhere. A far cry from the Haven site a few years ago.
Not recommended unless it smartens up it's act. Simple!

The park seriously needs to review what sort of people they accommodate. It was full of young groups of people getting drunk until early hours. Was also sick of hearing bad language on site. The park seriously needs to review what sort of people they accommodate. It certainly is not a holiday park to take your kids. I was very appalled. Will never go back. (read more)

Very clean, child friendly. Bad points, none, unless you count the good old British weather. I read most of these comments the day I was travelling and I was really dreading my holiday. The staff were fantastic, the park was clean. The caravan was also very clean and well looked after. Security very evident. We loved the entertainment, although the bar prices were quite expensive.
I would recommend this park, the Ty Mawr Holiday Park, Rhyl

I don't agree with any of the comments on here unless you all went before it was bought out from Hoeseasons by Park resorts. We have been to several park resorts sites and this and Naze MArine in Essex are by far the best, Ty Mawr being the biggest and with most to do in and around the site. Felt very welcome and my 3 year old daughter loves it and we go 4-5 times a year. (read more)

Had a good time at Ty Mawr Holiday Park, stayed in the warren (didn't like the sound of the meadows so tried to get on here).
