  • Restaurant with alfresco dining; 10 minutes' drive from the beach
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 all with the option for electric hook-up. The site also has essentials such as a toilet block and fresh drinking water, a washing-up area and 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 small, adult-only campground has level, gravel sites with great views of Snowdonia. Guests rave about the friendly, helpful owners, clean restrooms, and convenient on-site cafe with pizza. Ideal for exploring Newborough Forest and beach, though some mention road noise and no showers.

Joe P. 1 review

Power optional gravel RV campsite

Liked A quite small site, lovely people working there, very accommodating. The whistle stop cafe on the site which is open to the public. Is a lovely small cafe and ample outside seating space , had a lovely cream tea and the scone was straight out of the oven. It was amazing in my opinion.

Disliked The road right next to the site is a very long straight two lane country road. So you do get a few cars driving fast down it. But not late ,so it didn't spoil mine and my autistic stepson stay.

From the manager: Thank you for reviewing your stay with us. We are delighted you enjoyed the close proximity to the local beach and walking trails in the area. We are sorry to hear that a nearby farm disrupted your peace. Being situated in a traditional rural area means we occasionally get to see what an active farming life looks like. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back in the future.

Power optional gravel RV campsite

Liked Excellent access and a thoroughly well thought out site. Adjacent cafe if that's important to you - also one a couple of hundred yards down the road, if the site one was shut. Really appreciated the perfectly flat pitches and the fact that electrical hook-up was available, but was entirely optional. Superb views out towards Eryri across the straits. Nick gave an excellent introduction to the site on arrival, and explained the layout and the facilities. Easy walking distance to the Afon Braint stepping stones, Newborough and Newborough beach and the Warren.

Disliked Not much! The chicken farm down the road could be a tad "aromatic" if the wind was in the wrong direction. During our stay, this was almost never.
