  • 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 quiet, well-maintained campsite praised for its excellent location, close to beautiful beaches with lovely walking areas. Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful. Pitches are generally good, with spacious tent areas and flat hard standings. Facilities are clean, with showers noted as hot and powerful, though a small charge applies. Some guests mentioned dated toilet blocks and a separate check-in location a few miles away. Limited touring pitches were noted.

Dawn R.

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.

Hayley C.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Great location only a 20 minute (little legs) walk to the beach. Lovely clean facilities and very attentive wardens. We asked to have a sheltered pitch thank goodness as we had a storm whilst camping (60+) mile an hour winds! The warden gave us the most sheltered spot which was great, beautiful pitch right next to a wooded area with a little stream behind us and wooden bridge. The site was lovely and quiet and ample room between pitches. We will definitely be returning, a beautiful site.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Peaceful. Lots of wildlife. Had whole plot to ourselves so very quiet and relaxing.

Disliked Cold in shower/toilet block. But shower very hot so ok. Early in season so still cold in mornings.
Check in at campsit further away. Didn't realise until after we'd gone to Melin Rhos earlier - so had to drive back.

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)?
