  • 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 hardstanding touring pitch

Liked We had a lovely 2 days stay at the site.

Zoe and the family were very welcoming and helpful. They have clearly spent a lot of time and money developing a very impressive site, the pitch was perfectly flat and the grass around the site very well manicured.

The toilet/shower facilities were also very well done, clean, bright and well equipped.

We will certainly be visiting again.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Absolutely cracking campsite credit to the owners, very friendly and helpful on arrival.
Very clean throughout, amazing showers.
Ideal for a base or just to relax
Liked the added extra of being able to use microwave as we went non electric.
On a clear night the sky is full of stars it was beautiful.
Would definitely go back again.

Disliked Rubble going to the porta toilets on the non electric field can be a hazed under foot but I think it’s all new and still in the process just be careful if you have a few cheeky sherbets.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Very friendly owners, lovely views and clean showers and toilets

Disliked Unfortunately there was a mix up with our booking and the pitch we were allocated had a tent pitched on it! The owner was very apolgetic and refunded over half of our fee but the pitch we were given was one used by a friend of theirs who had to move off for us. They moved up to the farm and were perched overlooking us so felt very intrusive. There was also a kids "fun day" going on which we didn't know about so the noise level was off the scale from the bouncy castle and other inflatables so no chance to sit outside for an evening meal.
If we had known about this we would have stayed elsewhere.
Every pitch seemed to be crammed full with extra tents, gazebos, pup tents etc so felt very packed with no privacy between pitches so felt a bit claustrphobic.

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).
