  • Adults-only 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 adults-only 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 National Landscape. 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.

Liked Owner couldn't be more helpful, even came out to greet us in the pouring rain ! Quiet spacious pitches with lovely views over the fields and out to Snowdonia. Shop and pub a short walk away, and Newborough Sands not much further.

Disliked No shower but with one on the motorhome didn't need one.

Liked The site is well laid out and the people who run it are great

Disliked nothing, the cafe doesnt do full english anymore but food is very impressive

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Stephen, thank you for your review. We're delighted to hear that you find the site with the larger pitch suitable for you. With respect to the cafe, a breakfast menu and a daytime menu are used. On your visit to the cafe, we had already moved from breakfast service and on to lunch service. However, should a customer wish to order breakfast during the day or have any other particular request, the cafe staff will usually try their very best to accommodate this wherever possible.
