  • Well maintained and secluded park with views of grassy fields
  • Less than five minutes’ drive to Valley and 10 minutes to Holyhead
  • Porth Trwyn beaches less than 15 minutes’ drive away
How does a peaceful hol in the very northern reaches of north Wales sound? If the answer’s an instant 'yes please', give Pencraig Campsite a go: it's in the Anglesey countryside on a smallholding next to a field full of ponies overlooking grassy green meadows. Pencraig Campsite has a good range of amenities, with modern toilets and showers plus a washing-up area. The sunset views are excellent from this site, creating a serene setting in which to stoke up the barbecue at the end of a day beachcombing around the lovely Isle of Anglesey. Shores within easy driving distance include Porth Trwyn and Church Bay (both 15 minutes); the latter has a café for filling up at as well as a small museum in an old thatched 17th-century cottage. For other eats, the local village of Valley is a five-minute drive from the site just off the island’s main coastal road with its pubs, takeaways, small shops and petrol station. A few bigger supermarkets are on the way to Holyhead less than 10 minutes’ drive away; come here for birdwatching too as it’s the gateway to scenic cliffside walks with the potential for puffin spotting at RSPB South Stack (20 minutes away). If you’ve brought a four-legged friend on the trip – as dogs are welcome at Pencraig Campsite – plenty of places for walkies are about, including around the colourful disused copper mine at Parys Mountain (half an hour away).

Electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely site with nice views. Some Pitches are on a slight slope so need leveling blocks. Shower toilet facilities looked fairly new and was clean, decent size showers with space for changing plus large overhead shower heads. No facilities for shopping on site but within 1.5 miles shops, pubs etc with The Valley Hotel provided me a good meal. This site is about location and standards, don’t expect club room or players.

Disliked I would like to see option of non electric pitch (this is my opinion and not a criticism of this site)
No wifi but didn’t expect it. (This is again only for people to be aware as some can’t do without internet)

Electric grass pitch

Liked Well kept site. All pitches were marked out nicely and didn't feel cramped. Showers were excellent

Disliked Although the site toilets were clean and well maintained, there weren't enough of them. 2 stalls and no urinals for the gents didn't feel like enough on a busy weekend

Liked Clean, small site with good pitches. Decent location although it's a walk along a main road if you want a pub so probably best to drive.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Great sizes of pitch with ehu/ and water, seasonal pitches available.. new toilets and shower block, very nice, clean and lots of hot water. Location is good for getting out and about, there are shops, fuel and general Eateries close by. Quiet site., not much for children, dogs welcome on a lead.

Disliked Needs better signage at the entrance, which is a track between 2 houses. The red postbox was a way marker for us. Some pitches are on a slight slope, unmanned reception. No security barriers. No activities.

Local attractions

Anglesey has numerous beaches to comb, including the quiet bay of Rhoscolyn (15 minutes' drive away) with calm, shallow water for paddling or kayaking and Traeth Llydan (20 minutes), a wide, sandy stretch of coastline. Llanddwyn Island is 45 minutes away – visit at low tide to reach it via the sand. For age-old history in between submerges in the sea, the Neolithic-era Barclodiad y Gawres burial chamber is 15 minutes’ drive away and the Bryn Celli Ddu Burial Chamber takes 25 minutes to reach for investigating Wales’ prehistoric history. Slightly more recent heritage can be had on tours of Beaumaris’ castle and old jail; the pretty seaside village is also tiptop for shopping in small independent boutiques and filling up in traditional pubs. Off Anglesey, about an hour and five minutes’ drive away, is the base of Wales’ biggest mountain, Snowdon. If your legs are feeling up to it, hike to the summit – or just take the train…
