  • Quiet dog-friendly north-west Anglesey site with sea views
  • Near the Anglesey Coast Path; 40 minutes' walk from Church Bay beach
  • Excellent spot for birdwatching, stargazing and sunset barbecues
After a secluded stay on Anglesey? Take a peek at peaceful Pengraig Campsite. Up at the isle’s most north-western point near Church Bay, it’s about as far as you can get from the mainland without actually ditching into the drink. With that far-flung setting comes a stunning sea view – one that can be gawped at for many hours from the comfort of your pitch (a recommended activity around sunset, with drink in one hand and a barbecue stoking implement in the other). See the sea from a different angle on the nearby Anglesey Coast Path or while strolling on the sands of one of the local beaches. The waves aren’t the only gazing material around here – turn your back on the coast for scenic views of Mynydd Y Garn hill, or bring binoculars for a bit of birdwatching. Once darkness falls, direct your gaze upwards; the lack of light pollution means the stars can often put on a glittering show here. This isn’t a place for folks seeking heaps of facilities and entertainment; the emphasis is very much on peace and nature. Low-key amenities include a drinking water supply, a chemical disposal point and a toilet block (with basins and proper flushing loos). If you want to venture out in search of eats, pub meals and seafood suppers are five minutes’ drive away in Church Bay, and a little supermarket 15 minutes away in Cemaes.

Liked Beautiful site, and the owner (Andrew) is really friendly, helpful and really goes the extra mile to make sure all campers are happy and safe. Facilities and camping fields are always spotless and I think it is my favourite camping spot on the island. I have visited several times since I discovered it 2 years ago and always look forward to a return visit.

Popup Field non-electric grass pitch

Liked We were in the pop-up/overflow field, and WOW - the views were amazing!! There was plenty of space between pitches, and considering it was peak summer, it felt very quiet. Beautiful walks, and not far from
Church Bay which is a lovely beach with crystal clear waters! There were some cakes and eggs you could buy with an honestly box - we didn’t have any, but they looked lovely. I would highly recommend staying in the overflow field for the BEST views!! I was a little concerned from the previous reviews that there were not enough toilets in the overflow site as campers had mentioned there was only one, but during our stay there were three as well as washing up sink. I’m not a fan or portaloos and so I chose to use the toilets on the main site for the most part, but both the portaloos and the other toilets were clean.

Liked I loved the views. Best on any camp site I've stayed in 30 years of cabling. Being surrounded by such beautiful scenery was an absolute treat.
The owner was also very kind and attentive. Fresh cakes and eggs available everyday. Delicious.

Disliked This would be world class site if only for a simple shower system. Even cold would be something.

Liked Nice secluded quiet area. Farmer is always around if you need anything and is more than happy to help. Will definitely be returning. If you stay on a clear night stay up to watch the shooting stars put on a show.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Local attractions

All visitors to Anglesey should angle for as much coastal time as possible. That may well include lengthy rambles on the Anglesey Coast Path (which passes close to Pengraig) and/or as many hours as you can spare for beach time. Take a 20-minute stroll to rocky Ynys y Fydlyn beach or head south for 40 minutes on foot to the (often almost empty) sands of Church Bay. Stick around in Church Bay for a glance into the past at the Swtan Heritage Museum, then drive for 25 minutes or so to Amlwch, the northernmost town in all of Wales. It may look rather sleepy now but back in the day (the late 1800s) around 10,000 people gathered here around the world’s largest copper mine. Get an idea of what the place was like back then at the town’s Copper Kingdom Centre, then take a colourful walk round the old mine at Parys Mountain. After you’ve knocked around the north for a bit, head south for visits to Beaumaris Castle (45 minutes) and Ynys Llanddwyn (50 minutes), the island dedicated to the Welsh patron saint of lovers. A photo stop by the sign for the UK’s longest town name is a must, too. Deep breath and all together now… Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch (35 minutes).
