  • Dog-friendly touring pitches at a working farm in central Anglesey
  • Rhosneigr beach 10 minutes' drive; Beaumaris and Benllech 25 minutes
  • Horses, chickens and sheep on site; pub and shop five minutes' walk
Come for the farmyard fun – stay for the walks, beach days, watersports, family attractions… Maes Carafanau Penbryn Caravan Site is part of a working farm in the village of Gwalchmai, and it’s a fabulous spot indeed for families, couples and solo visitors alike. As you may expect from a farm, there’s lovely green scenery all around here, with paths leading directly from the site to some scenic walking and bike trails. And of course there are farm animals too – this place is home to chickens, sheep, horses and ponies. Facilities here include a play area for the kids and a dog field where visiting canines can have a good run about. There’s also a well-equipped modern bathroom block with toilets, showers, an accessible/family bathroom and a washing-up area. An Elsan point and grey waste point are also provided, and there are picnic tables for your meals (perhaps cooked on a barbecue, which you’re welcome to bring along). The village centre is five minutes’ walk away for a shop, pub and bus stop. This is a rural location, but it’s also a strategic one for getting out to explore all that Anglesey has to offer. It’s fairly central within the island, and nearby access to the A5 and A55 means that it’s easy to get to whichever attractions and activities you’d like to fill your days with – even Beaumaris, at the far eastern end of the island, is only 25 minutes’ drive away.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Everything! Lovely welcome from Zoe and Iola. Really well kept site, excellent showers, spotless amenity block. Well set up for eg cycle tourists with small fridge, kettle and microwave in utility room. Our boys loved the football pitch and as our 9yo put it “they do all the simple things really well here”. We look forward to returning!

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Very lovely well maintained and clean campsite. Facilities were very clean, it had everything we needed. The use of a fridge, freezer, microwave & kettle in the utility room were a great addition.
Our boy loved the chickens and was very pleased that our pitch was opposite them, we enjoyed watching in the morning with a cup of tea.
He also enjoyed the play area and the larger playing field, he had great fun playing with the owners children.
The owners are very welcoming, helpful and always on hand if you need anything. We would definitely stop again if visiting the area.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Fantastic little site. This was our first caravan holiday and we were so pleased here. The facilities were immaculate as they were regularly cleaned. The owners are very friendly, helpful and engaging. Our children really enjoyed it here. There was a park, football field and animals (chickens, horses and sheep) and it was safe for them to play. Location was easy to access with a van (no country lanes) and with being a central location everything was only a short drive away so we manged to explore alot of Anglesey. We will certainly be returning.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Fabulous campsite, a real gem. Iola and Zoe were fantastic hosts and couldn't do enough to help everyone. Facilities are brand new and spacious. Fantastic rural views. Showers were amazing. Pitches large and with your own drinking water tap. Well stocked shop and a pub only a short walk. Public transport links from the village. Will definitely stay again.

Local attractions

Anglesey is an island, of course, so the coast is always a big draw. You may like to seek out natural attractions like South Stack island (25 minutes’ drive), head to beaches like Rhosneigr (10 minutes) and Benllech (25 minutes) or take a boat ride from Beaumaris (25 minutes) to Puffin Island. For walkers, there’s always the option of a jaunt along the Anglesey Coastal Path (or part of it anyway – the whole thing is about 135 miles long). The colourful surroundings of former copper mine Parys Mountain (half an hour) are also lovely to walk through, or you could head to Newborough (20 minutes) to walk through the pine forest to the beach and out to Ynys Llanddwyn. Beaumaris Castle (25 minutes) and Plas Newydd House and Gardens (20 minutes) are top picks for historic buildings to visit; for family days out, try Pili Palas Nature World (15 minutes), Anglesey Sea Zoo (25 minutes) or GreenWood Family Park (25 minutes).
