  • Quiet family-friendly Anglesey site five minutes' drive from Moelfre
  • Benllech beach five minutes' drive; 10 minutes to Parys Mountain
  • Dogs welcome on site; 20 minutes' walk to dog-friendly Lligwy beach
The north coast of Anglesey is a wonderful location for a seaside holiday – and even better when it’s at Melin Rhos Caravan Park, a peaceful holiday park that’s only a 20-minute walk from the splendidly sandy Lligwy beach. Being so close to the beach means you’ll be able to wander up there whenever you feel like it for a stroll through the dunes, a bit of watersports action (windsurfing and kitesurfing are often good here) or an afternoon playing on the sand with the kids. Lligwy is a dog-friendly beach as well, so you can bring your four-legged pals along for a good run around and a paddle if you like. Also conveniently close by is the village of Moelfre, with another beach, a shop, a pub and a couple of cafés – it’s about five minutes’ drive from the site. Beyond that, places like Benllech beach and Parys Mountain are handily nearby for outings (both within 15 minutes’ drive) and there are heaps of great walks around, either on the Anglesey Coast Path or along inland trails. As this park is set a little way back from the shoreline, it’s nicely sheltered from any coastal winds – particularly good news for guests hoping to light a barbecue or set up awnings on their pitch. Facilities on site have all the basics covered – you’ll have access to toilets, token-operated hot showers and a washing-up area, along with a paid wifi service.

What customers say

This is a well-maintained, quiet campsite with a fantastic location, ideal for exploring the coastline and nearby beaches, a short walk away. Reviewers consistently praise the friendly and helpful staff and wardens, as well as the clean facilities, though some mention they are dated. Pitch sizes are generally spacious and sheltered. Some guests found paying for showers and Wi-Fi to be a drawback, and check-in is at a separate location. The site is noted as being particularly peaceful, especially outside peak season.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The facilities were very clean and the area for the campervan pitch up was lovely. Lovely spot for a weekend away!

Disliked We found around our pitch area was a lot of dog muck which hadn’t been cleaned up by previous campers, which was a shame that they didn’t respect the area.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Quiet spacious pitches, clean facilities

Disliked Having to pay for a shower of 8 minutes - I only usually take 4 at the maximum so I think a free shower would actually have used less resources

Recommend to friends Visit again

Not the best location to get anywhere without disconnecting vehicle.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Jo was very welcoming at main reception.

Disliked Campsite was noisy
Shower tokens - 3 toilets and 2 showers in the ladies toilet block
Grey waste disposal was nigh on impossible from a motorhome. Very poor location for it and logistics of actually emptying was difficult.
Paying for WiFi and shower tokens when we've paid for pitch was unnecessary.

Local attractions

For many visitors, a trip to Anglesey is all about the coast – and you’ll be nicely placed to explore plenty of that when you stay at Melin Rhos Caravan Park. Beyond your nearest beaches (Lligwy and Moelfre) it’s also easy to get to family favourite Benllech beach (five minutes’ drive) and historic Porth Wen (15 minutes) with its remnants of industrial buildings, or to cross the island to places like Rhosneigr and Newborough (both 35 minutes). Sticking to the coastline, you could also visit the unfinished Beaumaris Castle (25 minutes), known as ‘the greatest castle never built’, or book a boat trip with RibRide (25 minutes) to see the birds on Puffin Island. Other days out? How about a walk through the amazing colourful landscapes of Parys Mountain Copper Mine (10 minutes), meeting the butterflies and other mini beasts at Pili Palas Nature World (20 minutes) or heading over the Menai Bridge to try the adventure activities at Zip World Penrhyn Quarry (35 minutes)?
