  • Dog-friendly site with level grass pitches in the west of Anglesey
  • Holyhead 10 minutes’ drive; RSPB Cymru Ynys Lawd 20 minutes
  • Pumpkin-carving sessions on site in autumn; free-range eggs for sale
Whether real, painted or knitted, pumpkins are a key theme at Bodlas, a peaceful Anglesey site on the outskirts of Bodedern village (15 minutes on foot). Indeed, come to this small family farm in the autumn and you’ll be able to go picking pumpkins or joining carving sessions – the resulting jack-o’-lanterns might just be the spookiest on your street, come Halloween… Pitches are on a well-maintained and level grass field, and there’s plenty of room for children to kick a ball around, fly kites or chase each other (and the family dog) around. There’s also a play area, plus picnic benches for alfresco meals, which you can order from the on-site catering pod. If you fancy cooking your own meals (perhaps using the eggs sold on site, which are generously produced by happy, free-roaming hens), a firepit is available on request. Alternatively, head into Bodedern, where a pub serves traditional fare, or take a five-minute drive to Valley village, which has a restaurant and a handful of takeaway places. The Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path takes you all around the island, past beaches like Traeth Cymyran and Traeth Crigyll (an hour and a half on foot). Alternatively, take the North Wales Expressway to reach Parc Arfordirol Penrhos Coastal Park (10 minutes’ drive), with woodland trails and splendid views across the Cymyran Strait; or head to RSPB Cymru Ynys Lawd (20 minutes), at the westernmost tip of Holy Island, where you might catch glimpses of puffins nesting among the rocky cliffs, as well as admiring spectacular sunsets over the water.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Booked this site last minute for a spontaneous 1 night stay in Anglesey with the kids and it was absolutely wonderful!
Lovely small site, big pitches and not all crammed in, there was a pitch between us and the next tent and the another pitch between that tent and another.
Fire pit rental with logs was great too! Owners are friendly and happy to help and answer any question. Shower block wasn’t in full working order yet but there were shower facilities round the back of the house which was appreciated.
Play area behind the pitches was a godsend when setting up as the kids could just go and entertain themselves whilst we argued over the best way to pitch the tent 😂

Disliked No dislikes, I just hope they keep it small and cute as more campers would definitely require more showering/toilet facilities.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked This was our first tent camping trip after selling our camper van and we couldn’t have picked a better site to stay on for our first trip away. We stayed for 2 nights and found it amazing, this is very central but still enough out the way for a nice quiet and relaxing time. Only a short drive to the beach and towns. The facilities were great. This was a lovely site run by a great couple who gave us plenty of places to visit and eat. They made us feel very welcome, I would defo recommend and we can’t wait to come back soon.

Local attractions

At Holyhead (10 minutes’ drive) you can walk to the very tip of the breakwater, all the way to the lighthouse, and watch the ferries as they sail to and from Ireland. The Holyhead Maritime Museum, in Wales’s oldest lifeboat station, has colourful displays about maritime life, local shipwrecks and daring rescue stories. In addition to an 18th-century windmill, Melin Llynon (15 minutes) has a model safari with life-sized wild animals, a Willy Wonka-inspired escape room and a café serving epic treats, such as the decadently rich mônuts (donuts). Cross Anglesey all the way to the east coast and visit National Trust - Plas Newydd House and Gardens (25 minutes). This elegant mansion is the home of one of Britain’s largest murals, created by the artist Rex Whistler in the 1930s. After checking out the interiors, head out into the parkland, which overlooks the Menai Strait, and locate the colourful rhododendron garden.
