"UPDATE
… had a call from John Brookshaw apologising for our ‘ non welcome’ when we arrived for one night with our motorhome…. in September … Apology accepted , really appreciated the call and helped us to believe this really was a one off occurrence which has given us hope when we visit again in the future. Thank you 🙏 Katy Hughes
Just back from a one night stay at Plasseys. Have stayed before with my husband and grandchildren and always enjoyed, but this time we didn’t have a very pleasant welcome :( don’t like naming and shaming) but the lady I saw a reception didn’t welcome us at all…or asked about our journey or even said ‘hello’ she was very short saying we should not have stopped by the barrier bit the special area ( that we missed ) just before the barrier … she didn’t give me a chance to say my friend was watching to see if anyone came. I then told the lady that my friend who I had brought along this time used to ride her pony around Plasseys and come to show her pony at the show held on the site in the late ‘60s., early ‘70’s…she so was very excited to be back . Her parents were friendly with the present owners now’s parents.
Sadly …reception lady was not in the slightest bit interested in this bit of info as she rushed me off and out.
It really put a damper on our visit as we were only there for one night.
My husband and I run a caravan and campsite here on our working farm on Anglesey … we only have 50 pitches so not the huge business like Plasseys but we are sure to always to give our guests a friendly welcome and smile, it costs nothing at all.
Now the positives…. The girl that showed us to our pitch was charming and smiley.
We had a lovely walk passed the wsjeep
And through the woods. The little shops are fabulous and all the staff super friendly and helpful."

"Took our touring caravan to this site last weekend. First time on the site. Great location in the Welsh countryside. Large touring pitches which helps when you’re new to towing and manoeuvring your caravan. Dog Friendly with a large designated dog exercise field. Great facilities for the kids with a superb play area and separate badminton court and pool Tables. A nice sized swimming pool which was well maintained and very clean. As was the Toilet and shower blocks too. The food in the coffee shop on site was good as was the pizza we had in the bar and restaurant in the evening.
Staff were all very friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
No hesitation in giving this place 5 stars across the board. I’d definitely recommend it for families."

"Just returned from our 1st visit in our touring caravan.
Wow what a fantastic site.
Been wanting to come here for quite a while but the cost in high season and bank holidays is too expensive, so we came out of season.... so glad we did, can now see what you get for your money.
Beautiful grounds, fantastic pitches, and excellent facilities.
My only critique is that there are not enough toilets and showers near to the camping area you are on. There are only 2 toilets and 3 showers, both in separate buildings for the campers on the main field to use. I would imagine in high season when the site is full it would be a problem. I had to hang around a couple of times to go to the loo and the site wasn't full.
Would I come again, absolutely I would but not in high season."
