  • Quiet dog-friendly north-west Anglesey site with sea views
  • Anglesey Coast Path 10 minutes' walk; Church Bay beach 20 minutes
  • Excellent spot for birdwatching, stargazing and sunset barbecues
After a secluded stay on Anglesey? Take a peek at peaceful Pengraig Campsite. Up at the isle’s most north-western point near Church Bay, it’s about as far as you can get from the mainland without actually ditching into the sea. With that far-flung setting comes a stunning sea view – one that can be gawped at for many hours from the comfort of your pitch (a recommended activity around sunset, with a drink in one hand and a barbecue stoking implement in the other). See the sea from a different angle on the Anglesey Coast Path (within 10 minutes' walk of the site) or while strolling on the sands of one of the local beaches. The waves aren’t the only gazing material around here – turn your back on the coast for scenic views of Mynydd Y Garn hill, or bring binoculars for a bit of birdwatching. Once darkness falls, direct your gaze upwards; the lack of light pollution means the stars can often put on a glittering show here. This isn’t a place for folks seeking heaps of facilities and entertainment; the emphasis is very much on peace and nature. Low-key amenities include a drinking water supply, a chemical disposal point and a toilet block (with basins and proper flushing loos). If you want to venture out in search of things to eat, a café and pub are five minutes’ drive away (or around 20 minutes' walk away) in Church Bay, and a little supermarket is 15 minutes away in Cemaes.

This rural site's a peaceful, quiet escape with great sea/countryside views. Friendly owner, good spot for coastal walks. Basic but clean facilities. Appreciated remoteness & stargazing. Limited phone signal & windy conditions noted. Homemade cakes & fresh eggs a winner.

Unpowered grass caravan site

Liked Diolch am y croeso cynnes a safle anghygoel. Thank you to Andrew for the warm welcome and wonderful site. Spectacular views, and wonderful walks. Church Bay 30 min walk away, where there is a pub etc. The site was located in sheltered area, but with amazing views and the sun set was spectacular! Andrew couldn't do enough to help all the campers and I saw him going above and beyond to help one couple. Great value for money, superb location and great owners makes stopping here a wonderful experience.

Disliked No signal on site but thats a preference, although once you venture only a short distance away clear signals.

Local attractions

All visitors to Anglesey should angle for as much coastal time as possible. That may well include lengthy rambles on the Anglesey Coast Path (which passes close to Pengraig) and/or as many hours as you can spare for beach time. Take a 20-minute stroll to rocky Ynys y Fydlyn beach or the (often almost empty) sands of Church Bay. Stick around in Church Bay to eat at the pub or café, or for a glance into the past at the Swtan Heritage Museum, then drive for 25 minutes or so to Amlwch, the northernmost town in all of Wales. It may look rather sleepy now but back in the day (the late 1800s) around 10,000 people gathered here around the world’s largest copper mine. Get an idea of what the place was like back then at the town’s Copper Kingdom Centre, then take a colourful walk round the old mine at Parys Mountain. After you’ve knocked around the north for a bit, head south for visits to Beaumaris Castle (45 minutes) and Ynys Llanddwyn (50 minutes), the island dedicated to the Welsh patron saint of lovers. A photo stop by the sign for the UK’s longest town name is a must, too. Deep breath and all together now… Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch (35 minutes).
