  • Adults-only Anglesey pop-up site right next to Porth Trecastell beach
  • A five-minute drive from Rhosneigr surf schools and more beaches
  • Summer festival vibes with a horsebox bar, music and food trucks
Surfboards and swim gear at the ready – at Camp Bongo, you’ll be able to scramble out of bed and hit the water within just a few minutes. Not in the mood to be active? Stay cosy in your bed or crawl to your camping chair and just enjoy the sound of the waves and the views of the sea. All of this is possible because this adults-only pop-up site in Anglesey is in a truly fabulous location right next to Porth Trecastell beach, also known as Cable Bay. Designed as a playground for adults with a summer festival camping vibe, the site has a horsebox bar that runs throughout the season, plus an ever-changing line-up of music, live entertainment, daytime activities and food trucks. Depending on when you visit, you might be able to join kayak tours, ‘paint and sip’ sessions or cocktail-making classes by day before picking up pizza or fish and chips for dinner, and later settling at the social area to watch the sunset or catching some live music in one of the intimate performance spaces. Of course, the beach is always an option too – especially if you’re a surfer. For those who’ve not quite learned the art yet, there are surf schools and kit hire in Rhosneigr (five minutes’ drive away). Walks on the coast path are popular too (particularly if you’ve brought your dog along). Camp Bongo operates in an eco-friendly manner, with compost toilets, cold showers and freshwater standpipes to clean the sand off your feet.

What customers say

Great location, stunning sea views, steps from the beach. Friendly, helpful staff. Popular live music and food vendors. Facilities usually clean, though showers can be chilly and some are compost. A few found prices high or quiet times strict. Overall, a relaxed, great vibe.

Liked Great vibe, good location to the beach, the staffs are so helpful and friendly. Huge field so I didn’t feel crammed even there were so many campers. The band was nice too.

Disliked The toilet was a little high as I’m small I struggled a bit. Toilet papers were out after the night. Washing area is limited for all these campers.

From the manager: Hello,

Thanks so much for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the vibe, the beachside location, the live music, and the spacious layout — and we’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to our team, who always go the extra mile to help.

We really appreciate your feedback on the facilities. The toilets are composting units, and while they’re eco-friendly, we know they’re not always one-size-fits-all. We are in the process of installing urinals which will definitely help.

Our team checks and restocks the toilets every 2–3 hours — if toilet roll runs out, it’s usually just before a scheduled clean, or in this case possibly during the night especially with this weekend being unexpectedly our busiest weekend we have ever had. We will definitely take your feedback onboard and look into providing more loo rolls for during the night.

Thank you again for your helpful comments, and we hope to welcome you back for an even better stay next time!

Warm regards,
The Camp Bongo Team

A perfect pitch with great facilities, great vibes and lots of space!

Ashlee F.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The staff on site were so kind and friendly. The vibes were amazing, on the evening the live music, cocktail van and pizza van were perfect. The views to watch the sunset was the icing on the cake.

The toilets were clean and didn’t really smell too much. Only downside was in the morning, there was no loo roll but I found the box behind them with loads in to restock. The cold water showers were freezing but perfect after spending all day in the sun on the beach.

The beach was a 5 minute walk down the track and just down the main road. Didn’t have toilets but did have a tin van selling drinks and ice creams. We did the kayaking on the beach too!

From the manager: Hey Ashlee,

Thanks so much for your review and for joining us at Camp Bongo! We're really glad to hear you had a good time overall and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

We’re sorry to hear about the toilet roll issue — we completely understand how that can be frustrating. Just to clarify, our toilet facilities are cleaned and checked every 2 to 3 hours throughout the day, with the team starting 8:30 am to clean and restock. If there was a shortage, it likely happened just before a scheduled clean, and we do our best to stay on top of it, especially during busy periods.

This particular weekend was the busiest we've ever had at Camp Bongo, and while we're thrilled so many people came to enjoy the space, it definitely put extra pressure on facilities. We’re already making plans to scale up support during peak weekends going forward and scale down the number or pitches.

Thank you again for your feedback — it helps us improve, and we hope to welcome you back soon for an even smoother experience!

Warm wishes,
The Camp Bongo Team

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked From start to finish I had the best weekend. From the welcome of the lovely staff which followed throughout the weekend from them all. The location was one of the best I’ve stayed, especially having the view we did! The beach was only a short walk from the campsite. The campsite itself was insane. The barn with live music, the food vendors, the cocktail bar, the outside seating area and even the COLD showers I enjoyed (the weather was HOT) I will defiantly be returning and have made a lot of friends and family aware of Camp Bongo for their future camping trips too!

Liked The atmosphere around the campsite was great, cannot compliment the staff enough, seemed like a small team dealing with a large number of people, all while doing a great job, definitely will be looking to go back.

From the manager: Hey Matthew,

Thank you so much for the lovely review! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the atmosphere at Camp Bongo and that our team left such a positive impression.

You're absolutely right — we’re a small but passionate crew, and it means a lot to hear that our efforts didn’t go unnoticed, especially during our busiest weekend yet.

We’d love to welcome you back anytime — the good vibes (and cocktails!) will be waiting.

All the best,
The Camp Bongo Team

Liked Easy atmosphere, good vibes, food and drinks. Entertainment. Terrific location, easy beach access.
Spoke to all staff often, a real friendly bunch

Disliked No music after 11.30 policy, yet on the Saturday night, music was blaring until FIVE AM.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello David,

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're really glad you enjoyed the atmosphere, food, drinks, entertainment, and especially our friendly team — we always aim to create a laid-back, welcoming vibe here at Camp Bongo.

We're really sorry to hear your experience was disrupted by loud music on the Saturday night. We are aware that a late-night beach party took place nearby, and we want to make it absolutely clear that Camp Bongo had no involvement in this event. The party was not authorised by us and occurred well outside of our campsite. Like many of our guests, we were also disturbed by the noise.
At Camp Bongo, we are committed to maintaining a peaceful and respectful environment for both our guests and the wider community. We have a strict no-music policy after 11:30 PM and a designated quiet time from midnight. The presence of our professional on-site security teamplays a key role in upholding the calm, relaxed atmosphere we’re known for.

The beach event was reported to the police, and we will continue to work closely with local authorities to help ensure the surrounding area remains undisturbed.

Thank you again for the feedback and for staying with us — we really hope to welcome you back for a more peaceful night next time!

Warm wishes,
The Camp Bongo Team

Local attractions

The beach by the site is a lovely one, but on an island like Anglesey it’s well worth getting out to explore as much of the coastline as you can – perhaps taking in a sunset at South Stack Lighthouse (25 minutes' drive), visiting the gorgeous Newborough beach (25 minutes), backed by dunes and pine forest, or taking a boat trip to Puffin Island from Beaumaris (half an hour). While you're in Beaumaris, you should certainly stop by to visit the imposing but unfinished Beaumaris Castle. The National Trust’s Plas Newydd House and Gardens (25 minutes) is another option for those who like to poke around in a grand building with gorgeous gardens. Anglesey has plenty to keep you busy for days on end, but there’s also the option of heading back to the mainland to explore Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park – perhaps hiking, riding the Snowdon Mountain Railway (35 minutes), trying all the adventure activities at Zip World Penrhyn Quarry (35 minutes) or heading to the cute village of Betws-y-Coed (50 minutes).
