  • Well maintained and secluded park with views of grassy fields
  • Less than five minutes’ drive to Valley and 10 minutes to Holyhead
  • Porth Trwyn beaches less than 15 minutes’ drive away
How does a peaceful hol in the very northern reaches of north Wales sound? If the answer’s an instant 'yes please', give Pencraig Campsite a go: it's in the Anglesey countryside on a smallholding next to a field full of ponies overlooking grassy green meadows. Pencraig Campsite has a good range of amenities, with modern toilets and showers plus a washing-up area. The sunset views are excellent from this site, creating a serene setting in which to stoke up the barbecue at the end of a day beachcombing around the lovely Isle of Anglesey. Shores within easy driving distance include Porth Trwyn and Church Bay (both 15 minutes); the latter has a café for filling up at as well as a small museum in an old thatched 17th-century cottage. For other eats, the local village of Valley is a five-minute drive from the site just off the island’s main coastal road with its pubs, takeaways, small shops and petrol station. A few bigger supermarkets are on the way to Holyhead less than 10 minutes’ drive away; come here for birdwatching too as it’s the gateway to scenic cliffside walks with the potential for puffin spotting at RSPB South Stack (20 minutes away). If you’ve brought a four-legged friend on the trip – as dogs are welcome at Pencraig Campsite – plenty of places for walkies are about, including around the colourful disused copper mine at Parys Mountain (half an hour away).

What customers say

A peaceful, tidy park with top-notch loos. Generous pitches, some with hook-ups. Great base for Anglesey/Holyhead. Wash-up area needs a roof/lights. Some road noise and tricky entry signs noted.

Liked Big space for Tent
Not far from Holyhead town for shops etc.
My 8 year old Son liked playing with all the kids on site.

Disliked Noise after 11pm, Our neighbour had there radio on after 11pm, although it was on low volume myself and son could not sleep until it was turned off around 2am, when i asked the neighbour next day he said there aloud to listen to radio on low volume.

This needs to be changed to no noise after 11pm and certainly no radio

Liked Lovely peaceful site, big pitches, great location for visiting the whole North Coast of Anglesey and Holyhead. Best of all, this site has the best shower block we've ever seen! Big showers with a changing area and limitless, controllable hot water!

Disliked Not a lot really but there is just a little road noise. This was probably more noticeable because everything, including the weather, was so calm and peaceful when we stayed.

Liked Great location, toilets and showers were great and kept clean! The kids loved seeing the horses in the paddock every day! Perfect sized campsite!

Disliked Washing up facilities could be a little better as basic and only one sink but didn't really affect us to much.

Local attractions

Anglesey has numerous beaches to comb, including the quiet bay of Rhoscolyn (15 minutes' drive away) with calm, shallow water for paddling or kayaking and Traeth Llydan (20 minutes), a wide, sandy stretch of coastline. Llanddwyn Island is 45 minutes away – visit at low tide to reach it via the sand. For age-old history in between submerges in the sea, the Neolithic-era Barclodiad y Gawres burial chamber is 15 minutes’ drive away and the Bryn Celli Ddu Burial Chamber takes 25 minutes to reach for investigating Wales’ prehistoric history. Slightly more recent heritage can be had on tours of Beaumaris’ castle and old jail; the pretty seaside village is also tiptop for shopping in small independent boutiques and filling up in traditional pubs. Off Anglesey, about an hour and five minutes’ drive away, is the base of Wales’ biggest mountain, Snowdon. If your legs are feeling up to it, hike to the summit – or just take the train…
