  • 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.

What customers say

This quiet rural site has lovely sea and country views. Guests love the friendly owner, peaceful vibe, and great spot for coastal hikes. Basic but clean facilities. Appreciated for remoteness, stargazing, and getting away from it all. Limited phone signal and wind noted. Homemade cakes and fresh eggs are a bonus.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked I loved the location and the views from the site. It’s basic but I like that also. Bonus having a toilet, water and a place to wash up. Loved the island so much more to see. So definitely be back.
Appreciated the owner checking in.
Had the best time in the evening watching the lambs playing in the field and the sun going down.
Stars at night amazing
Thank you

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).
