Church bay beach

  • Dog-friendly Anglesey pop-up site with views of the sea and Snowdonia
  • Walking distance from beaches, the coastal path and summit trails
  • Walk to the pub, seafood restaurant and café; shops a short drive out
Wake up and walk the Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path, or perhaps challenge yourself to a local hill summit. Based on the northwest coast of Anglesey, you’ll have lots of choice over how to spend your time from Llain Ffynnon Camping. A morning brew over the site's sea views? Taking the 15-minute walk down the closest beach for a quick dip in the sea? Or perhaps you’d rather go for a dog walk towards the mountains (after all, dogs are welcome here too). You’ll need a good pair of shoes, that’s for sure. One of the big perks of this site is that it’s easy to get to many places on foot. The local pub in Church Bay is only half an hour’s walk away. It’s also on the way to the rockpools at Porth Swtan beach (40 minutes’ walk) or the seafood restaurant and café close to the shore. You’ll get an idea of the splendid walks around these parts just from glancing at the views from this site. Based quite high up, Llain Ffynnon Camping doesn’t just have views over the northwest coast – you'll catch Snowdonia's mountains, Ireland, the Isle of Man and the northwest of England on a clear day too. The site is only a short walk from access points to several well-maintained public footpaths, including one with access to the Mynydd y Garn summit. If you need to pack some snacks and sandwiches before you go, there are two local food shops in Llanfaethlu or Tregele, 10 minutes’ drive from the site. Please note that this is a pop-up site, so there are only cold-water shower and toilet facilities available.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The views were amazing. The facilities that are on site were great. Haven’t been camping in 10 years so was just doing a trial run and also seeing how our puppy would cope. We loved it and I would definitely come back again.

Disliked Very windy but not the owners fault and definitely wouldn’t put me off from coming again.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The location is amazing. Stunning views. Lovely people running the site, nothing was touch for them including jump starting my car when my battery was flat. Spotless facilities. A burst pipe in the local village caused water supply problems and the family running the site kept us supplied with drinking water (from the farm house which is some distance away and was not affected by the water cut off) and kept the toilets working. They were amazing, despite which some people were rude/angry with them about something they had no control over. They were so stressed and so busy keeping water supplies going till goodness knows what time of night. The site is very spacious and you camp where you want, no regimented pitches. It is quiet and peaceful, other campers were friendly and I met 4 other women camping on their own, which is very unusual. I was there Wednesday to Monday. Itwas much busier over the weekend due to the heatwave, but But never felt crowded. Thank you. I'll be back! The site is windy as the owners warn. Some campers helped each other pitch or take down tents on the windier days.

Disliked There were queues for the 3 loos over the weekend and 1 shower over the weekend. No WiFi might bother some people, but I loved being disconnected.

Great spacious pitches. Would recommend to anyone.

Local attractions

You might first spot the Goleudŷ Ynysoedd y Moelrhoniaid (The Skerries Lighthouse) from the Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path. Up close, after a chartered boat ride from Holyhead (25 minutes’ drive), the view is even better, and the birdwatching just as splendid. The seabird colony at Cemlyn North Wales Wildlife Trust Reserve (10 minutes’ drive) is pretty spectacular to watch too. A shingle ridge, lagoon and plants such as sea kale and sea campion are part of the highlight reel at this place – just the thing if you're a fan of spying on wildlife. Those of you who are planning on spending a lot of your downtime beside the sea will be happy to find that there are a number of beaches that are easy to get to from Llain Ffynnon Camping. In fact, the National Trust’s Traeth Ynys y Fydlyn is half an hour’s walk away, and there are caves and rockpools to rummage around down there. Further out, other gorgeous beach locations include Cemlyn Bay (15 minutes’ drive), Porth Trwyn (10 minutes) and Traeth Porth Wen Beach (15 minutes).
