  • 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.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Loved the views and how peaceful it was - the owner was so lovely and came and chatted to us. Great that it was dog friendly and we really enjoyed our stay there!

Disliked Toilets are very small - perhaps can be an issue if you have mobility problems as there isn’t much space. No wifi or signal but not a problem if you are travelling with others

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The views, how clean the facilities were, the location.

We are a blended family with 4 young kids between 5 and 7. We were put on plot 15 which was right next to the toilets which was ideal with so many little ones. Everything was lovely and I've booked to come back with just my partner again next month so explore the area more.

The honesty box with eggs and cakes etc was so sweet and a lovely little extra.

No phone signal on site but you can gey signal a walk up the road. ( I prefer the no phone signal personally)

Disliked Nothing to dislike here.

Non-electric grass pitch (overflow)

Liked The location of the site is amazing with expansive views of the countryside and the sea from my pitch. It was nice to be at a proper back to basics site with everything you need and nothing you didn't. There are plenty of walks nearby as well as the Anglesey Coastal Path. The brownies from the honesty shop were excellent! I'm looking forward to staying here again soon.

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).
