  • Well maintained and secluded park with views of grassy fields
  • Less than five minutes’ drive to Valley and 10 minutes to Holyhead
  • Porth Trwyn beaches less than 15 minutes’ drive away
How does a peaceful hol in the very northern reaches of north Wales sound? If the answer’s an instant 'yes please', give Pencraig Campsite a go: it's in the Anglesey countryside on a smallholding next to a field full of ponies overlooking grassy green meadows. Pencraig Campsite has a good range of amenities, with modern toilets and showers plus a washing-up area. The sunset views are excellent from this site, creating a serene setting in which to stoke up the barbecue at the end of a day beachcombing around the lovely Isle of Anglesey. Shores within easy driving distance include Porth Trwyn and Church Bay (both 15 minutes); the latter has a café for filling up at as well as a small museum in an old thatched 17th-century cottage. For other eats, the local village of Valley is a five-minute drive from the site just off the island’s main coastal road with its pubs, takeaways, small shops and petrol station. A few bigger supermarkets are on the way to Holyhead less than 10 minutes’ drive away; come here for birdwatching too as it’s the gateway to scenic cliffside walks with the potential for puffin spotting at RSPB South Stack (20 minutes away). If you’ve brought a four-legged friend on the trip – as dogs are welcome at Pencraig Campsite – plenty of places for walkies are about, including around the colourful disused copper mine at Parys Mountain (half an hour away).

What customers say

This is a clean, quiet, and well-maintained campsite with beautiful scenery and a peaceful atmosphere. Visitors consistently praise the excellent, modern shower and toilet facilities, often described as luxurious and spotless, with plenty of hot water. Pitches are generally spacious and serviced with water and electricity. The friendly and helpful owners are frequently mentioned, as is the convenient location for exploring local attractions and Holyhead Port. While most guests have no complaints, a few minor points include occasional slopes on grass pitches, limited on-site amenities, and a desire for more washing-up sinks.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Nice spacious pitches. Lovely modern shower block. Very friendly welcome. Close to local amenities.

Disliked Not much to dislike, however we was pitched in between two big caravans which did block the beautiful view and sunsets. But it was welcomed the first night as was protected from the winds.
No wifi but there was data signal so no issues.

Fantastic Location very close to Holyhead Port.

Beautiful peaceful location and very close to Holyhead Port.
Lovely showers and facilities.Booked to stay on way back from Ireland for one night as well.Alice is lovely and dealt with all queries without any problems.Stree free all round stay.A must if you're driving a long way to Holyhead and have an early Ferry which we did.

Disliked No dislikes.Grass Pitches may be on an incline so adequate wheel ramps required as usual for levelling.

Local attractions

Anglesey has numerous beaches to comb, including the quiet bay of Rhoscolyn (15 minutes' drive away) with calm, shallow water for paddling or kayaking and Traeth Llydan (20 minutes), a wide, sandy stretch of coastline. Llanddwyn Island is 45 minutes away – visit at low tide to reach it via the sand. For age-old history in between submerges in the sea, the Neolithic-era Barclodiad y Gawres burial chamber is 15 minutes’ drive away and the Bryn Celli Ddu Burial Chamber takes 25 minutes to reach for investigating Wales’ prehistoric history. Slightly more recent heritage can be had on tours of Beaumaris’ castle and old jail; the pretty seaside village is also tiptop for shopping in small independent boutiques and filling up in traditional pubs. Off Anglesey, about an hour and five minutes’ drive away, is the base of Wales’ biggest mountain, Snowdon. If your legs are feeling up to it, hike to the summit – or just take the train…
