Plenty of space

  • Well-maintained Anglesey pitches on a family-run working farm
  • A 10-minute drive to Parys Mountain; 20 minutes to Benllech beach
  • Very short walk to local pub; five minutes' drive to Amlwch
Up at the top end of the Isle of Anglesey is generally a great place to take a peaceful holiday – but it gets even better when there’s a local pub a mere 50 yards away. And that’s the situation you’ll find yourself in when you stay at Cae Ffynnon, part of a working farm about five minutes’ drive inland from Amlwch. Pitches at this small family-run site are well maintained and well located, within easy reach of walking trails, bike paths, beaches, boat trips and the port at Holyhead (about half an hour’s drive away for those boarding a ferry to Ireland). And of course there’s that village pub a short walk away for a good feed and a welcome pint after your day out. You’ll have plenty of space to spread out on your pitch when you’re staying here, and you’ll be provided with some handy amenities including an electric hookup and picnic bench for each pitch. Shared facilities include toilets, showers and a washing-up area and you’re welcome to bring dogs and kids along for a stay here. Being so close to Amlwch means that you’ll have easy enough access to shops and places to eat (and the beach…) despite your peaceful immediate surroundings.

Liked: The site is situated in a perfect spot, middle of everywhere. Close to Caemes Bay which is a stunning location. The owner of the site is lovely, really friendly and very helpful.

Disliked: Needs a few more loos and shower cubicles but planning is in place for this.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: The campsite owner, Len, couldn't be more helpful and explained his plans to extend the toilets and showers soonest. The location was easy to find and the pitch was fine with electric hookup. Nice and quiet during the day when most people were off site and there was no problems with the 2 loos and shower (just keep topping up the electric meter and I reckon the shower is about 30p!) The pub minutes away is a bonus but its a gastropub and not cheap! It's dog friendly but cramped for a big dog and you may find it hard getting a table at weekends when its very busy and you may have to sit outside with drinks if you're not dining!

Disliked: Not much really it'll be even better with the new proposed loos and shower block!

Powered cement/asphalt campsite

Liked: Really relaxed, friendly and folks on the site were friendly too. Owners were informative and on hand to help if you needed anything at all. They recommended a local beach which was stunning and we enjoyed 2 days there. So much to do at the beach and clear water which was enjoyed by all! Sunday lunch at the local pub was really good! Great place to grab food or a quick drink and it’s so close! Kids loved the goats on site.

Disliked: Need to remember cash for your stay. Could do with a reminder text on arrival day as it was hectic travelling with kids. I couldn’t get down with the portaloo but the kids loved it! Right next to the road on our pitch which could get noisy.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: A clean and simple camp site set it beautiful Anglesey. Nice large pitches sizes with picnic tables. Friendly and helpful host who gave us local information to get us settled in.

Disliked: Unfortunately, our neighbours impacted negatively on our stay. Playing loud ‘mindfulness’ music at 2am. Taking over part of our pitch and allowing their dogs to foul right along our tent.

Powered cement/asphalt campsite

Liked: Great site our 3rd time staying at this family run site. Basic site but beautiful views & lovely people. Great pub for food & drinks 1 minute walk from site. Will be back next year.

Disliked: People turning up late, leaving early not paying!! This doesn’t help a family run business keep going!! So unfair.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Inexpensive but a bit shabby. Quiet site and good being close to pub.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Like the price and location was where we needed to be.

Disliked: Didn't like the camp as only 1 toilet between all guest. And families letting young kids go toilet on there own and weeing on the seat for fed up of cleaning it. The door to the toilet has a gap right down side so people can see in a night. Wouldn't revisit. Our pitch wasn't level which is a nightmare in a trailer tent.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Sorry to read you're review of our site, having just checked which pitch you were on I cannot understand how you can comment this pitch was not level our pitches are all level but have a very slight runoff to prevent rain water from standing in the pitch unless its a self draining hard standing.The new amenities block is not yet completed with new toilets and showers it's a shame you will never see it completed.

Local attractions

A trip to Anglesey is usually all about the outdoor activities, and you’ll be well placed for those with a stay here. A drive of a little over five minutes will get you to a fishing spot at Llyn Alaw or a challenging but scenic round at Bull Bay Golf Club. Boats also head out from Amlwch harbour (five minutes’ drive) for sea fishing or just a bit of coastal sightseeing. There’s plenty of sightseeing to do on land too, whether you head out on the Anglesey Coast Path or aim for Parys Mountain (10 minutes’ drive) for a fabulous stroll through the colourful landscapes left behind by an ancient copper mine. The Copper Kingdom Centre (five minutes) will give you further insight into this aspect of the island’s past. And what about when you’d just like to sit on the beach, thanks very much? There’s a small stretch of sand at Amlwch, but you’d be better off heading to Lligwy (15 minutes), Church Bay (20 minutes) or Benllech (20 minutes) if you’re planning to spend a whole day swimming and sandcastle building.
