  • Adults-only touring pitches at a rural site with views of Eryri peaks
  • Llanddwyn Island 20 minutes’ drive; Newborough Forest 15 minutes
  • Restaurant with alfresco dining; 10 minutes' drive from the beach
Mountain views, sandy beaches and a rich cultural heritage – what more do you need to click on the green button and book your spot at adults-only Afon Braint? This peaceful rural site – which is so close to the Welsh river of the same name and its Giant Rhuddgaer Stepping Stones (15 minutes’ walk), it has borrowed that very name for itself – sits on Anglesey’s south-eastern corner, within the coastal belt that makes up the Anglesey National Landscape. On the A4080 road between the villages of Niwbwrch (just under a mile, about 20 minutes on foot) and Dwyran (five minutes’ drive or a 25-minute walk), Afon Braint comes with spacious gravel touring pitches all with the option for electric hook-up. The site also has essentials such as a toilet block and fresh drinking water, a washing-up area and grey and chemical waste disposal points. Spectacular views of the peaks of Eryri (Snowdonia) accompany the meals you consume in the picnic area, and there’s also a restaurant with a large patio and covered pods if you want to take in the mountain vistas regardless of the weather. The nearest pub is in Niwbwrch, which also has a fish and chip shop and a supermarket, with more shopping and dining options in Llangefni (20 minutes) and Bangor (25 minutes). Windswept strolls await at Maes Parcio Ynys Llanddwyn and Newborough Beach (15 minutes), a nature reserve with a large dune system, marshes and a pine forest, plus tidal Llanddwyn Island (20 minutes), with a lighthouse overlooking the rocky shore.

What customers say

Top-rated small camp with ace hosts & service. Spotless, peaceful, stunning Snowdonia views. Flat, roomy pitches. Great on-site cafe, pizza delivery to your van! Close to Newborough beach/forest. No showers, one toilet sometimes shared with cafe-goers.

Power optional gravel motorhome site

Power optional gravel caravan site (large)

Liked Upon arrival I was greeted by the owner who was extremely friendly and welcoming. He personally gave me a tour of the facilities and gave helpful suggestions of local walks, areas of interest etc. There is a small cabin with plenty of information available and even a variety of games you can use.
The whole site ( with 5 spacious bays) is well thought out with great views. The facilities are excellent, and toilet block is very clean. Good WiFi connection too! There is an on site cafe which provide a variety of food and drink but was unfortunately closed at the time of my visit.

Disliked Nothing.

Power optional gravel motorhome site

Liked Fabulous location and views. Walking paradise. Good amenities except no shower. Very clean and tidy, really friendly and informative staff. Excellent quality food in the cafe, offering resident evening meals.

Disliked The only reason for not giving a 10 is the unfortunate smell from the chicken farm, due to the wind direction whilst we were there. No showers.

 John R. 1 review

Power optional gravel motorhome site

Liked The site is what I would class as a "Boutique Site". Its small, only 5 main pitches but very well set out and very nicely kept. All facilities were spotless and it also boasts an on-site cafe which is also licensed for alcohol. Every pitch has mains hook up and the sites secure at night. Great hospitality and a warm welcome awaits. I really liked it there and the views are fantastic.

Disliked The only reason i gave 8 stars and not 10 is that the site has no shower facilities. Its such a shame as a nice shower here would just add the icing on a very nice cake!!
