  • Sea-view pitches on a private estate on the north coast of Anglesey
  • Five minutes’ drive to Porth Trwyn beach; Holyhead 20 minutes
  • Near the Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path; half an hour's walk from pubs
Set in the woodland of a private 17th-century estate, Seren-y-Mor (meaning 'Star of the Sea') is a family-run campsite on the north coast of the Isle of Anglesey. It’s just a few minutes’ walk from the beach for family fun days and also close to the Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path for coastal yomps. Bring your own barbecues, camping stoves and firepits (pick up groceries in Holyhead, 20 minutes’ drive). A couple of pubs are a half hour’s walk away if alfresco cooking isn’t how you want to spend your holiday. The pub and café in Church Bay should be some splendid picks for eating out – they're a five-minute drive away, or just over an hour's walk. Pop-up food stands also visit the site during high season. Seren-y-Mor is an eco campsite with composting toilets and hot showers.

Liked Open, plenty of space.
Relaxed DIY feeling, no lists of rules (just a few simple basic ones).
Next best thing to wild camping.

Disliked Not a problem for me, but the only hot water is in the showers.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Absolutely loads of pitching room. Composting toilets were really clean, well explained and completely dry during rain. Showers were a great pressure, great temperature and really well though out. The communal area was a lovely touch and the children loved playing with other children on the branch seats and high chair. Really lovely campsite for those who want a relaxed, eco friendly getaway.

Would come again of there were more toilets.

Liked Lovely roomy campsite and gorgeous drive in. Nice walk to two beaches. Very nice setting and great to see the sunset, bats and hear the Owls.

Disliked Lack of toilets and limited showers. Especially in the first field where there are none at all which wouldnt have been too bad for a weekend, but we stayed for a week. There were a new set in place but these were cordened off which seemed strange when we are two thirds through the camping season.

Liked Loved the location - set within low coastal hills with views of the sea and Holyhead. Porth Trywn beach, a picturesque and quiet little cove, is very close by, with the larger Church Bay also close.
The site clearly value campers having plenty of space and make a point of not overselling. In general there’s a relaxed feel. Would definitely stay again.

Disliked Only qualm was that the bins (located on the farm track on the way in) needed to be emptied more frequently.

Caroline R.

Unpowered grass caravan site

Liked Lots of pitch space and everyone respected leaving a good distance between other campers. Lovely setting - views were incredible, it was quiet and dark, also easy to walk to the coastal path. The sheep were good fun (note to future campers with dogs, if you're on the lower field, don't park too near the track if your dog is bothered by sheep as that was the path wandering sheep preferred).

Fire pit was easy to rent with wood for £20. The communal fire pit was a great spot for chatting with others and I appreciated the love music on the Friday! Made for a lovely campsite energy.

Composting toilets always had loo roll and the showers had hot water every morning! I think the sinks for washing dishes might need a bit of an update because the plug hole lead to nowhere & a puddle with food chunks had formed below one of the sinks. There were a good number of water taps.

Disliked There were too many dogs off-lead on the campsite despite the 'dogs on lead' campsite rule. There were more dogs off lead and wandering across campsite with their owners than dogs on lead while we were staying. Most dogs were well behaved, but having a dog on-lead is about courtesy to other campers as well as safety.

I reported one pair of small dogs to the reception as they kept rushing up to people on their way to the toilets and growling/snapping at them. It didn't seem like anyone came to speak with the owners and these dogs remained off-lead until we finished our weekend stay. They chased other dogs that walked past their owner's pitch too and managed to escape their owner's tent in the early morning to chase people walking to the toilets. (The owners had pitched next to the toilet block.) It was unsettling.

I would still go back to this campsite because it was a great location, but it was a shame the site owners didn't speak with these irresponsible dog owners about following the 'on lead' rule.

From the manager: Thank you so much for the review. Im so glad you loved the site and area, and enjoyed the music and fire it really is magic!
I am so sorry for your experience with the dogs off the lead, it's really inconsiderate. We rely, as I think everyone camping does, on people respecting the space, the peace, and treating each other with kindness. This shouldnt have happened, the girls on reception went to speak to the people with the dogs, but they were on leads, and were every time they past, so they thought the situation was resolved. We should still have spoken to them, as it sounds like this was only when we past, i'm really sorry again and thank you for letting us know as we certainly will in future x

Great site, spacious, relaxed, beautiful setting.…

Unpowered grass caravan site

Liked Great location, surrounded by lovely woodland and a it we found a nice walk down to the beach.
Compost toilets and shower facilities are great.
Forest school area adjacent to the site is amazing and respectful visitors are welcome to use.

Disliked A few inconsiderate campers spoiled the trip due to late night noise which travels far through the woodland glade.
Toilet / shower facilities were great but need rubber stoppers on the doors to stop banging as everyone just lets them slam!

From the manager: Thank you so much, im so glad you enjoyed the area! We ll try to action the rubber stoppers and see if that works, thank you x

Liked What a site! Our spot: on the back is a dry wall, facing the downhill slope and then an uphill slope, to the left is the sea view, to the right is the wood view. Quiet Sunday evening, even quieter for Monday! I like the composting toilet, simple, but works pretty well. Better than the other kinds we experienced.

Route directions

Once you enter the estate, you will cross over two cattle grids. After crossing the second cattle grid, there is a left-hand turning marked 'CAMPING'. Follow the signs on the track through two fields. The final field is the camping field, where the toilets are directly ahead of you. Please pitch up in these fields along the hedge or the treeline, where it is sheltered, leaving eight metres between your pitch and other guests. What3words: clip.relief.abode.

Local attractions

You can learn all about Amlwch and its 18th-century transition from fishing village to copper mining town at the Copper Kingdom Centre (25 minutes’ drive). After checking out the displays, stroll along the colourful trails lacing Parys Mountain, which was once home to the world’s largest copper mine. Step into a tropical environment at Pili Palas Nature World (half an hour). Here you can marvel at butterflies and moths flying all around you in the butterfly house, watch meerkats being fed and meet colourful macaws and cockatoos. There are also exotic spiders and lizards, and (if creepy-crawlies aren’t your thing) fluffy rabbits and inquisitive miniature goats. Sitting on the Menai Strait, Plas Newydd House and Gardens (35 minutes) is an 18th-century mansion with gardens bursting with vibrant hydrangeas and rhododendrons. It’s worth popping inside too, to catch a glimpse of a gigantic mural (measuring 17.5 metres) by Rex Whistler depicting an idealised view from the building.
