  • Quiet dog-friendly north-west Anglesey site with sea views
  • Near the Anglesey Coast Path; 40 minutes' walk from Church Bay beach
  • Excellent spot for birdwatching, stargazing and sunset barbecues
After a secluded stay on Anglesey? Take a peek at peaceful Pengraig Campsite. Up at the isle’s most north-western point near Church Bay, it’s about as far as you can get from the mainland without actually ditching into the drink. With that far-flung setting comes a stunning sea view – one that can be gawped at for many hours from the comfort of your pitch (a recommended activity around sunset, with drink in one hand and a barbecue stoking implement in the other). See the sea from a different angle on the nearby Anglesey Coast Path or while strolling on the sands of one of the local beaches. The waves aren’t the only gazing material around here – turn your back on the coast for scenic views of Mynydd Y Garn hill, or bring binoculars for a bit of birdwatching. Once darkness falls, direct your gaze upwards; the lack of light pollution means the stars can often put on a glittering show here. This isn’t a place for folks seeking heaps of facilities and entertainment; the emphasis is very much on peace and nature. Low-key amenities include a drinking water supply, a chemical disposal point and a toilet block (with basins and proper flushing loos). If you want to venture out in search of eats, pub meals and seafood suppers are five minutes’ drive away in Church Bay, and a little supermarket 15 minutes away in Cemaes.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: This site is excellent, perfectly set up up great views and the facilities were very clean. Outstanding views and such a peaceful location.

Disliked: The checking in is not controlled and we had our 3 neighbours and dogs on plot 8 turn up at 10.15pm and start setting up and chatting away right next to us until 1.45am with the dogs barking, disrespectful when camping and especially at such a quite well respected place like this.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: I definitely recommend it for the fantastic owner (Andrew is a super friendly person, who goes above & beyond to make your stay as pleasant as possible, he personally checks on his guests) the view and the remoteness of this place. You can buy free range eggs in front of the campsite, you can also buy logs for the fire (Andrew delivers it personally), apparently bikes will soon be available to rent too. The campsite is close to multiple walking paths. There is plenty of room around the pitches too.

Disliked: No shower and .. the toilet. Shower is not a massive issue if you only stay few days, but the toilet is something I'd definitely change - there is a tiny little hut with 2 toilets and 1 sink. Barely any room to sit on when door is closed (no chance to turn around). It leaks when it rains heavily. No separate toilet for F/M, which may be frustrating at times

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Really enjoyed this remote and rustic little site - the view is spectacular and it has fantastic access to the Coast path. Although there is no showers or hot water the toilet block is super clean and they provide a dish wash station. If you are after a pretty little stop off for a night you don't really need much more.

Disliked: nothing

Local attractions

All visitors to Anglesey should angle for as much coastal time as possible. That may well include lengthy rambles on the Anglesey Coast Path (which passes close to Pengraig) and/or as many hours as you can spare for beach time. Take a 20-minute stroll to rocky Ynys y Fydlyn beach or head south for 40 minutes on foot to the (often almost empty) sands of Church Bay. Stick around in Church Bay for a glance into the past at the Swtan Heritage Museum, then drive for 25 minutes or so to Amlwch, the northernmost town in all of Wales. It may look rather sleepy now but back in the day (the late 1800s) around 10,000 people gathered here around the world’s largest copper mine. Get an idea of what the place was like back then at the town’s Copper Kingdom Centre, then take a colourful walk round the old mine at Parys Mountain. After you’ve knocked around the north for a bit, head south for visits to Beaumaris Castle (45 minutes) and Ynys Llanddwyn (50 minutes), the island dedicated to the Welsh patron saint of lovers. A photo stop by the sign for the UK’s longest town name is a must, too. Deep breath and all together now… Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch (35 minutes).
