What customers say
Top spot! Super clean, modern loos and showers. Spacious powered sites, some with ripper views. Handy for Anglesey and North Wales. Road/train noise and a few lumpy sites mentioned, but owners are legends. Highly recommended, lots keen to return.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Excellent site, breathtaking views & clean well maintained facilities
Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site
Liked What a beautiful site. It was our first trip in our touring caravan and we would definitely return. The site is accessable, the pitches spacious and view of the mountains breathtaking. In addition the swings/slides and football goals kept our children entertained, the location is great for many places around the island and the cleaning facilities were brilliant, clean and well maintained. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Fabulous family-run site with immaculate facilities.
Powered grass site
Liked This campsite is so well maintained and friendly. With it being a smaller, family-run campsite you can feel the difference. Communication prior to our arrival was great including an email days before to inform us of our pitch number and all the helpful details such as how to find the site, who to contact out-of-hours etc. When we arrived the site was smart, clean and well laid-out. The toilets/showers were immaculate at all times and each individual pitch had their own electricity and water supply meaning we didn’t have to trek across the site to collect water daily.
We had a spacious pitch which was big enough for our XL tent and gazebo as well as space for parking the car. There was a small play area for kids which proved very popular and a huge field (with goal posts) for letting the kids run wild and exercising the dogs. The views were gorgeous and nothing was too much trouble. We had such a fabulous time and will definitely be back. You’re a little bit out in the middle of nowhere but there is a co-op and a cluster of small independent shops/takeaways just a mile or so down the road. Everything you need is only a short drive away and there are so many things to do/see nearby.
Disliked Previous reviews have mentioned the noise from the nearby expressway which I did notice upon arrival, however, by the time we’d settled in and were ready for bed it had become white noise in the distance. Even during the busy hours you couldn’t really distinguish it from the sound of children laughing, playing and adults chatting. I barely registered it during the entire stay. There is also a train line somewhere close by (the site is very close to the famous train station) and occasionally you’d hear trains in the distance but again, this just became background noise and we barely noticed it!!
I can’t think of a single negative aspect of our stay so please don’t let the other mentions of traffic noise etc put you off.

Powered grass site
Liked We stayed for 7 nights at Ael y Garnedd. We had been recommended by family and we will be recommending the site to others!
Pitches are very clearly marked out, EHU very close and bonus of water at every EHU point!
No reception on site but the informative email prior to arrival meant one was not necessary as we already knew our pitch and how to get there.
John the owner was very friendly and approachable.
Our children (7&11) loved the play area. The huge field, goal posts and places to explore kept them entertained for hours.
The location for us was perfect, just off the bridge, meaning we could explore lots of the island, and we did!
The facilities are kept exceptionally clean.
We’ll be back next time we visit Anglesey!

10 out of 10.
Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site
Liked This site was fantastic. We received an email prior to arrival with all our pitch details, so no need to check in on arrival. Pitches were clearly sign posted and easy to navigate with is perfect after a long drive. The site was so clean and tidy and the facilities were great too. We were so pleased with the site that we decided to extend our stay by another night. We will definitely be returning. An additional positive was the decent laundry room, which, when you have kids, is always a bonus.
