Presaddfed - Druids' Rest

Quiet site with spotlessly clean amenities

Quiet campsite with limited facilities but spotlessly clean toilets/showers and dishwashing amenities.

Nice stay

We stayed two nights. The site was very nice, good facilities, nice showers, clean toilets. Phone and laptop charging facilities. Staff (owners?) were very helpful and kind. The facilities are made from wood and look very characterful. Only gripe is the septic tank gave off quite a stench and is unfortunately situated right in the communal area of the site. I heard a few other campers complaining about this too. Other than that, the location was a little far from everything, it takes about 15 minutes plus in the car to reach most places of interest, not a problem for most people but not perfect. I would stay again.

Site's response

I apologise for the septic tank. Despite plenty of signs around the site and in the toilets, some of our customers still flush wet wipes and other sanitary products down our toilets. Wet wipes are fibrous, containing plastic, and do not break down. They stick to each other and everything sticks to them, seriously impeding the normal operation of our sewage treatment plant hence the resulting smell. With a prevailing wind, this is not usually a problem. Some customers will have noticed that I attend to the sewage treatment plant daily with the sole purpose of fishing out the wet wipes in an attempt to sustain normal operation. Wet wipes are a serious problem at all scales of sewage treatment and I feel they should not be available for general public use.

Week in Anglesey

Stayed at this lovely site in Anglesey the last week in August, got there on the bank holiday Monday and stayed until Saturday. The site is approximately 2.5 miles from the A55, through the village of Bodedern, It is a former cricket ground, so the pitches are flat with hardstanding and EHU pitches round the edge of the site, and non-electric pitches in the middle. There are 4 unisex bathrooms on site, with warm showers and they are kept really clean by the campsite staff. Also, there's a separate ladies and gents toilets in the block next to the showers. Mark (campsite owner) and his staff also run a small shop, where you can buy drinks and sweets, the staff will also put cool box blocks in the shop freezer for you. A few tweaks to the site would be allowing the showers to run for a bit longer as they are operated by a push button but last for about 20 seconds before pressing again. Wi-Fi could be provided at the pitch, for additional cost, although this is not a necessity, while we were there some people commented on the lack of Wi-Fi, as a lot of campsites now have this facility. An extra EHU point near to the entrance gate would be beneficial, instead of using a splitter on existing point, this would stop the electric from tripping out. Overall, this site is great, and when it goes dark the stars and the nocturnal wildlife are amazing to see and listen to. Would we come back here again? Yes definitely would⛺️
