  • Dog-friendly site with level grass pitches in the west of Anglesey
  • Holyhead 10 minutes’ drive; RSPB Cymru Ynys Lawd 20 minutes
  • Pumpkin-carving sessions on site in autumn; free-range eggs for sale
Whether real, painted or knitted, pumpkins are a key theme at Bodlas, a peaceful Anglesey site on the outskirts of Bodedern village (15 minutes on foot). Indeed, come to this small family farm in the autumn and you’ll be able to go picking pumpkins or joining carving sessions – the resulting jack-o’-lanterns might just be the spookiest on your street, come Halloween… Pitches are on a well-maintained and level grass field, and there’s plenty of room for children to kick a ball around, fly kites or chase each other (and the family dog) around. There’s also a play area, plus picnic benches for alfresco meals, which you can order from the on-site catering pod. If you fancy cooking your own meals (perhaps using the eggs sold on site, which are generously produced by happy, free-roaming hens), a firepit is available on request. Alternatively, head into Bodedern, where a pub serves traditional fare, or take a five-minute drive to Valley village, which has a restaurant and a handful of takeaway places. The Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path takes you all around the island, past beaches like Traeth Cymyran and Traeth Crigyll (an hour and a half on foot). Alternatively, take the North Wales Expressway to reach Parc Arfordirol Penrhos Coastal Park (10 minutes’ drive), with woodland trails and splendid views across the Cymyran Strait; or head to RSPB Cymru Ynys Lawd (20 minutes), at the westernmost tip of Holy Island, where you might catch glimpses of puffins nesting among the rocky cliffs, as well as admiring spectacular sunsets over the water.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely quiet site, roomy pitches, good area for kids to play, free roaming chickens, close to some lovely beach spots. Close to supermarkets in Holyhead and a well stocked premier down the road! Facilities were clean.

Disliked Facilities were limited for a busy weekend of campers - showers are currently out of order so only 1 working in the house. Only 2 toilets. Washing basin only cold water. Quality of logs were poor, but only £5 so not the end of the world.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Loved this campsite! Owners were very friendly and welcoming. Just starting out and already is fantastically organised and cared for. The facilities were brilliant! (Although no electricity just yet, it didn't take away from how lovely they are) Would definitely stay again at this gem of a place!

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked What a gem of a campsite… it has to be one of our favourites this season! Such a warm and friendly welcome by John. We had a wonderful pitch with a great view. Our children (7&8) loved the park style area and enjoyed seeing the animals and stroking the very tame chickens that were wandering around. Very clean facilities, lovely pitches and just great vibes! Also, a really convenient location for some of the islands best beaches!

Disliked This isn’t a dislike really just a note that they are still doing some work to washing up area and shower block but provided us with access to their utility room which was much appreciated.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked A nice campsite still in infancy as only just opened, pleasure couple who were running it and happy to tell you about different places to visit .
Showers and toilet's clean and ice pack freezing available.

Disliked The only issue was the noise traffic if set up on the side of the field where the road was but that isn’t the owners responsibility.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked This campsite is a real gem! The pitches are very spacious, and the owners are extremely accommodating and welcoming.
Facilities were excellent — hot showers and toilets on site, all spotless and very well maintained.
There’s also a lovely play area for little ones, which will be a great bonus for anyone arriving with toddlers. The location is peaceful and quiet, yet close to main attractions, with a beautiful beach just a 10-minute drive away (Traeth Crigyll). SPAR nearby if you run out of anything.

Perfect spot for a relaxing break — highly recommended!

Local attractions

At Holyhead (10 minutes’ drive) you can walk to the very tip of the breakwater, all the way to the lighthouse, and watch the ferries as they sail to and from Ireland. The Holyhead Maritime Museum, in Wales’s oldest lifeboat station, has colourful displays about maritime life, local shipwrecks and daring rescue stories. In addition to an 18th-century windmill, Melin Llynon (15 minutes) has a model safari with life-sized wild animals, a Willy Wonka-inspired escape room and a café serving epic treats, such as the decadently rich mônuts (donuts). Cross Anglesey all the way to the east coast and visit National Trust - Plas Newydd House and Gardens (25 minutes). This elegant mansion is the home of one of Britain’s largest murals, created by the artist Rex Whistler in the 1930s. After checking out the interiors, head out into the parkland, which overlooks the Menai Strait, and locate the colourful rhododendron garden.
