  • 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 tidy, spotless site has level hardstanding spots, great facilities and stunning views. Owners are always friendly and helpful, with the on-site cafe and pizza delivery a hit. Perfect for exploring local beaches and forests. No showers and a bit of road noise, but overall a brilliant stay, with many planning to return.

Power optional gravel caravan site (large)

Liked Very warm welcome and easy to find. The gent who met us at the gate was really friendly and professional. He showed us to our pitch and made sure we got our electric hooked up and working. He then gave me a brief tour of the facilities before leaving us to it. Ideal hassle free short stay option.

Power optional gravel motorhome site

Liked Everything. This site has been well thought out to a very high standard. It is well maintained, lovely and clean with the most beautiful views. The warm welcome we received with a tour of the site, to the delivery of pizza and chips to the van for tea. Even the dog was given VIP treatment with a welcome sausage. The toilet was lovely and warm even on a frosty night. I would highly recommend this site to anyone, and we will definitely be back when in the area. Thank you for such a lovely stay where every detail small and big was given careful consideration by the owners to make they stay perfect.

Disliked We could not stay longer 😉

Liked Great views of the snowy mountains, level H/s pitch, quiet spot, chef style pot wash tap, heated toilet cubicle. Cafe on site but didn’t get to try it as it was closed for the Christmas break. Friendly and helpful owner.

Disliked Nothing, but only to suggest a bigger dog poop bin with a handle to left the lid.

Power optional gravel motorhome site

Liked Good sized pitches, very well organised and laid out. Good facilities very clean and tidy. On check in met by Nick who explained everything to make stay easy and stress free. Excellent customer service, nothing seems to be too much trouble. Option to have food delivered directly to the camper van at a time to suit us in the evening, which we took advantage off, food made fresh and delivered hot. Had breakfast in the cafe, again good value for money, good service, nice staff. Location great for walking to the Forest, Beach and Island.
