  • Quiet dog-friendly north-west Anglesey site with sea views
  • Near the Anglesey Coast Path; 40 minutes' walk from Church Bay beach
  • 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 drink. 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 drink in one hand and a barbecue stoking implement in the other). See the sea from a different angle on the nearby Anglesey Coast Path 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 eats, pub meals and seafood suppers are five minutes’ drive away in Church Bay, and a little supermarket 15 minutes away in Cemaes.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: I really liked the location with a view of the sea. The Campsite owner communicated the camp location well as it is a bit of the beaten track, but that is what I like. He let us pick our own spot on arrival and no fuss set-up. He came and visited to see if we were OK the next day and was a chatty and nice man to deal with. They have a little toilet hut but if you are after luxury shower and toilet block forget it. Simple no fuss camping.

Disliked: The main down side is the field is on a slope at the top, but that is no big issue as there are flatter places lower down. We actually choose to camp at the top so it is not a massive issue.

Liked: Beautiful epic views,a setting sun over the sea visible from the campsite. Great value,a friendly farmer, rural escape from the real world. Not over commercial, with a real charm. Local Church Bay a real asset,alongside the Pub,with a cycle route run mining alongside!

Overflow primitive grass campsite

Liked: Stayed in large overflow site with sea views and handy fields nearby to walk the dog. Special mention for the lovely owner as I developed a problem en route and he was kind enough to help sort it out. Weekend would have been a disaster without him. Please note that when he says no showers and no wifi he means it. There was no mobile phone at all on site, perfect if you need to be away from it all. Bins were emptied and porta loos cleaned every day.

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 head south for 40 minutes on foot to the (often almost empty) sands of Church Bay. Stick around in Church Bay 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).
