  • Well-maintained pop-up site on a working farm in the south of Anglesey
  • Beaumaris Castle and Eryri National Park half an hour’s drive
  • Dogs welcome; views of Eryri mountains; pub a five-minute drive away
Expansive green fields and splendid views of the mountains of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) – that’s just some of what you get when you stay at Morfa Brenin. This dog-friendly site with level grass pitches sits on a working farm right next to the river Afon Cefni, in the south of the island of Anglesey, a 15-minute drive from Llangefni. The owners are keen to point out that the surrounding fields will be little hives of activity during the summer months, and that guests should expect both the sounds and the smells associated with the countryside. But that’s in the daytime, when (chances are) you’ll be out and about exploring the island. At night, all should be blissfully peaceful – and that’s not only thanks to the site’s remote location, but also because there is a curfew on loud music and noise. The site has flushing toilets, a cold-water shower and a washing-up area, but otherwise it's a wild-camping affair here, and there is neither hot nor drinkable water. Be sure to stock up en route to the site, or by taking a little detour to the villages of Newborough or Bethel (both about 10 minutes’ drive), where there are well-stocked convenience stores. If it’s not water you’re after but a well-poured pint, the nearest pub is in the village of Malltraeth (five minutes by car or a 40-minute walk along the river), where there is also a fish and chip shop. For more choice (of stores, but also eateries), head into Llangefni.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Great set up for that wild camping feel with toilets, shower and cleaning station to keep you feeling human! Great remote location within driving distance of loads of places to visit and a pub up the road full of friendly locals. Facilities are basic but cover everything you need and were very clean. Site is pitch black and so quiet at night, perfect for watching the stars on a clear night. Kids loved their stay and so did we

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Beautiful space with dark skies

Disliked Different to find based on directions given. Better to add that the entrance is near the.... bridge.

Users didn't use follow instructions.

Toilets left unflushed.

People next to us were drunk one night and mum fell into our tent without apologising after 10pm. My son was in his room and wondered what happened. I reminded them about the 9pm rule. It didn't happen again, so we didn't report.

From the manager: Thank you for staying at Morfa Brenin, and for taking the time to leave a review.

I'm sorry to hear you had difficulty finding the site. Unfortunately the postcode doesn’t lead directly here, which is why I've included our what3words location on the booking page — I hope it helps future guests find us more easily.

I'm also very sorry to hear about the incident involving another guest, and that the toilets weren’t flushed. That’s certainly not the standard I'm aiming for, and I really appreciate you bringing it to my attention — as well as your patience in reminding others of the site rules.

I do hope you were still able to enjoy some of your stay, and I hope to welcome you back in the future.

Best regards,
Dafydd

Local attractions

Llanddwyn and Newborough beaches (20 minutes’ drive), occupying the southernmost area of Anglesey, are popular spots for kite-surfing thanks to the breezes blowing in from the Atlantic Ocean. Backed by vegetation-covered dunes, this vast expanse of sand is also home to rare orchids and assorted birdlife, and you can walk out to atmospheric Ynys Llanddwyn while you're here. Ambitiously planned by Edward I in the 13th century but never completed, moated Beaumaris Castle (half an hour) overlooks the Menai Strait. After your visit, head to the seafront and walk the length of Beaumaris Pier for spectacular views of the mainland. Experienced hikers might want to have a go at Crib Goch or another peak in Eryri National Park (half an hour), which also has mountain-biking trails, ziplining experiences (including Zip World Llechwedd, which flies above the slate mines of Blaenau Ffestiniog) and watersports.
