  • Family-run touring park set in open Anglesey countryside
  • Just off the A55; Caernarfon and Beaumaris 20 minutes’ drive
  • Dog-friendly site with views of Snowdonia National Park
Stuck deciding between the mountains, the coast and the countryside? All three are easily accessed from Ael y Garnedd, a family-run touring park in Star, Anglesey. How so? Well, this site has a splendid selection of well-maintained, level pitches in pleasant grounds just off the A55, easily accessible from the Britannia Bridge and close to the Anglesey coastline. The pitches have the added bonus of spectacular views over the mountains of Snowdonia National Park (which is from 20 minutes’ drive away, by the way). Whether it's mountaineering in Snowdonia, rib rides and exploring the castle in Beaumaris (20 minutes), or lunch in Caernarfon (20 minutes), the site's central location is bound to come very much in handy. That’s what makes this place such a great base for family and dog-friendly holidays spent both on the island and mainland. Sandy beaches are close by too, and you'll be less than 30 minutes from the offerings at Benllech, Aberffraw, Rhosneigr and Ynys Llanddwyn, a haven for ramblers, rockpoolers and cyclists. With amenities like grey-waste disposal, toilets and showers all provided, as well as a laundry room, life on site is comfortable, and if you do need to venture out it won't take you long to find what you're looking for. The nearest pub is five minutes' drive, while Menai Bridge (10 minutes) has a large supermarket and an array of shops and restaurants.

What customers say

This campground gets rave reviews for its super clean, modern washrooms. Sites are roomy, well-kept, with great views. Owners are super friendly & helpful. Perfect base for exploring Anglesey & North Wales. Some road noise from A55, and a few sloped sites.

Liked The site was very clean and well organised. It had everything we needed and the toilets/showers remained clean throughout the day.
The split areas for caravans and tents worked exceptionally well.

Disliked The only thing that wasn't great was that the showers turn themselves off after 10 seconds. It is understandable as to why, but frustrating when showering.

We had a lovely stay, and enjoyed our visit to Anglesey.

Liked The facilities are immaculate all the time and obviously cleaned regularly, the location was perfect for everything we wanted to do and no more than 30 minutes away from anywhere. The view when clear is outstanding. The kids loved having the park, and goal posts and made some lovely friendships and memories.

Disliked We were aware of the likelihood of road noise but it was far louder than we were prepared for (and we live at the bottom of a railway line) there is also working dogs close by which bark constantly, which added to the noise... whilst we appreciate this is out of the campsites control, it did affect our experience. There were also far more pitches than shown on the map which made things feel abit cramped when full - also not helped by 2/3 campervans on one pitch one night making lots of noise until late (these were gone by 6am so assume there were not supposed to be there!!)

Liked A lovely peaceful campsite that was very family friendly. The facilities were nice and clean, and the location was perfect for visits across the isle of Anglesey and Bangor/Caenarfon etc. 100% would stay again.

Disliked The WiFi wasn’t particularly good. Struggled to load webpages nevermind any kind of streaming, but that is a minor criticism as everything else was fantastic!

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We make it clear in our listing what facilities are available on site, and we do not advertise evening entertainment such as a pub. Reading the full campsite description before booking can help ensure the site meets your expectations.

Regarding the WiFi, it is intended to cover the all pitches, but external factors such as weather and signal interference mean it cannot always be guaranteed. If you had let us know during your stay, we would have been happy to look into the issue and try to help. Adding this to a review after leaving doesn’t give us the opportunity to resolve it for you at the time. I’m sorry that the connection wasn’t strong during your visit.

Local attractions

When you want to stay pretty local, make Menai Suspension Bridge (five minutes' drive) your first stop. The huge suspension bridge between Anglesey and mainland Wales is a sight to behold. Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens (10 minutes) is rather interesting too, as a historic estate with peaceful gardens and tea rooms. Beaumaris (20 minutes) next? This stop is by the seaside, hence the gorgeous promenade, and the castle is also worth a visit. Caernarfon Castle (20 minutes) has a big ‘wow’ factor too – the huge palace-style fortress sits along the river Seiont and looks very grand. In Conwy (30 minutes), there’s another castle, as well as the harbour where boat tours take off across the coast. For those of you interested in getting to know legends and history around St David, visit the island of Ynys Llanddwyn (30 minutes). The scenery is just as great at Great Orme (45 minutes), a chunk of limestone land that juts out into the sea and has been named the ‘sea monster’ by the Vikings. Time for some adrenaline instead? Zip World Fforest (40 minutes) has a forest rollercoaster and zipwires or swings over the treetops.
