  • Well-maintained Anglesey pitches on a family-run working farm
  • A 10-minute drive to Parys Mountain; 20 minutes to Benllech beach
  • Very short walk to local pub; five minutes' drive to Amlwch
Up at the top end of the Isle of Anglesey is generally a great place to take a peaceful holiday – but it gets even better when there’s a local pub a mere 50 yards away. And that’s the situation you’ll find yourself in when you stay at Cae Ffynnon, part of a working farm about five minutes’ drive inland from Amlwch. Pitches at this small family-run site are well maintained and well located, within easy reach of walking trails, bike paths, beaches, boat trips and the port at Holyhead (about half an hour’s drive away for those boarding a ferry to Ireland). And of course there’s that village pub a short walk away for a good feed and a welcome pint after your day out. You’ll have plenty of space to spread out on your pitch when you’re staying here, and you’ll be provided with some handy amenities including an electric hookup and picnic bench for each pitch. Shared facilities include toilets, showers and a washing-up area and you’re welcome to bring dogs and kids along for a stay here. Being so close to Amlwch means that you’ll have easy enough access to shops and places to eat (and the beach…) despite your peaceful immediate surroundings.

Powered concrete slab site

Liked: Friendly welcome from the owner. Hot shower with decent pressure. The shower is powered by £1 coins but one lasts for ages - all 3 of us had a shower and there was credit left over. The site is basic but value for money. There is one toilet and one shower but the site is small so we never had a problem. It is close to a very good pub and within a short drive of lots of nice places. The site is small and surrounded by trees filled with crows and views over the hills so a very peaceful place where you feel close to nature.

Disliked: It isn't a dislike as such but a mop in the toilet and shower cubicles would be useful so people can clean out after use for the next person. The site doesn't take cards so make sure you have cash.

From the manager: Thank you for you're kind words we are working on the new showers and toilets you did notice a lot of work has already been done on the site so hopefully next time you come and visit we won't be far off finished kind regards Len

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Location, I am from Anglesey so know the island very well, we were on a weekend cycling round the island. Friendly owner Len. Lovely pub just about 100 yards from the site serving food. Nit too far from Amlwch if you need food etc, by car.

Disliked: I can’t say disliked but for other campers it’s good to know that there is only one shower ( you have to pay for the shower so either a pound or two pound coin is acceptable) and one toilet, we were lucky as there was only us in a tent and another couple in a camper van so it could be difficult when the site is busy, however they are updating the site so more may be added in the near future Also note the electric hook up is not high voltage I took my fridge and it wouldn’t work on the voltage they had plus you can’t have too much on as it’s trips the switch. Something they need to look into I think..

From the manager: So sorry to read you're review you must have got on the wrong site, we don't have a scrapyard on our site but we do have builders building the new toilets and showers block shame you will never see the finished work. We will keep you're details for future reference.

Local attractions

A trip to Anglesey is usually all about the outdoor activities, and you’ll be well placed for those with a stay here. A drive of a little over five minutes will get you to a fishing spot at Llyn Alaw or a challenging but scenic round at Bull Bay Golf Club. Boats also head out from Amlwch harbour (five minutes’ drive) for sea fishing or just a bit of coastal sightseeing. There’s plenty of sightseeing to do on land too, whether you head out on the Anglesey Coast Path or aim for Parys Mountain (10 minutes’ drive) for a fabulous stroll through the colourful landscapes left behind by an ancient copper mine. The Copper Kingdom Centre (five minutes) will give you further insight into this aspect of the island’s past. And what about when you’d just like to sit on the beach, thanks very much? There’s a small stretch of sand at Amlwch, but you’d be better off heading to Lligwy (15 minutes), Church Bay (20 minutes) or Benllech (20 minutes) if you’re planning to spend a whole day swimming and sandcastle building.
