  • Gravel touring pitches at a rural site with views of Eryri peaks
  • Llanddwyn Island 20 minutes’ drive; Caernarfon half an hour
  • Restaurant with alfresco dining and covered pods; drinking water
Mountain views, sandy beaches and a rich cultural heritage – what more do you need to click on the green button and book your spot at Afon Braint? This peaceful rural site – which is so close to the Welsh river of the same name and its Giant Rhuddgaer Stepping Stones (15 minutes’ walk), it has borrowed that very name for itself – sits on Anglesey’s south-eastern corner, within the coastal belt that makes up the Anglesey Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. On the A4080 road between the villages of Niwbwrch (just under a mile, about 20 minutes on foot) and Dwyran (five minutes’ drive or a 25-minute walk), Afon Braint comes with spacious gravel touring pitches. Be aware that there is no electric hook-up; what is there, though, are essentials such as a toilet block and fresh drinking water, plus grey and chemical waste disposal points. Spectacular views of the peaks of Eryri (Snowdonia) accompany the meals you consume in the picnic area, and there’s also a restaurant with a large patio and covered pods if you want to take in the mountain vistas regardless of the weather. The nearest pub is in Niwbwrch, which also has a fish and chip shop and a supermarket, with more shopping and dining options in Llangefni (20 minutes) and Bangor (25 minutes). Windswept strolls await at Maes Parcio Ynys Llanddwyn and Newborough Beach (15 minutes), a nature reserve with a large dune system, marshes and a pine forest, plus tidal Llanddwyn Island (20 minutes), with a lighthouse overlooking the rocky shore. .

What customers say

This well-kept, five-pitch site offers level, gravel hardstanding spots. Praised for its quiet vibe, cleanliness, and prime location for exploring local forests and beaches. Guests loved the friendly, helpful hosts, the on-site cafe, and pizza delivery. Facilities are 24-hours, though showers are absent. Some noted road noise, and one felt it resembled a car park. Adults only.

Power optional gravel RV campsite

Liked Lovely little site, just off the road as you approach Newborough. The gate was closed when I arrived but there’s a mobile number to call and having done that, I was greeted and given access to the site.

I was given a brief tour and shown all the amenities, which are spot on for my needs. I have a Renault Trafic converted and the EHU allowed me to just reverse into the bay and off I went.

The toilet and wash up station are spot on, hot water on tap. There were other services which I didn’t need.

The little information hut has the WiFi password and the signal was more than good enough for streaming on my tablet.

I stayed for two nights but didn’t stray too far. In fact, having arrived near dark, after I got set up I just chilled out. The following morning I walked down to the stepping stones and decided that I’d spend my afternoon there, so I went back for my camping chair and had the bank by the river all to myself for a few hours, which was just what the doctor ordered.

Having ordered a pizza in the cafe before I went out, my tea was sorted when I got back and I was able to cosy up in the van as it got buffeted around by the weather.

It was just me using the site and that suited me fine. I loved it, slept really well and saw a marsh harrier from the back of my van which made my whole weekend.

It cost me £50 for the two nights with EHU and access to the facilities, I’m happy that it was good value and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Liked Arrived in Storm Claudia, and woke up to a completely different view. Good size pitches, clean toilet (only 1 available overnight and unisex), handy washing up area and waste disposal facilities. Owner was incredibly friendly and helpful at settling us in. Useful info hut with details on local restaurants and things to do.

Power optional gravel RV campsite

Liked Great views, easy access, clean facilities and friendly hosts. The all gravel pitches are pretty level and lots of space to turn.

Disliked Only one toilet available, which is shared with the on site cafe, so occasionally you may need to queue.

Liked Such a lovely site with so much to offer, views are lovely wide open countryside, has very clean toilets, lovely little pot washing area and if the weather is on your side a very nice picnic area to sit at, lovely food in the cafe and all round very dog friendly, they have thought of everything on this site, I came for one night and was lucky enough to be able to book on for another, would highly recommend and will come back
