  • Sea-view pitches on a private estate on the north coast of Anglesey
  • Five minutes’ drive to Porth Trwyn beach; Holyhead 20 minutes
  • Near the Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path; half an hour's walk from pubs
Set in the woodland of a private 17th-century estate, Seren-y-Mor (meaning 'Star of the Sea') is a family-run campsite on the north coast of the Isle of Anglesey. It’s just a few minutes’ walk from the beach for family fun days and also close to the Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path for coastal yomps. Bring your own barbecues, camping stoves and firepits (pick up groceries in Holyhead, 20 minutes’ drive). A couple of pubs are a half hour’s walk away if alfresco cooking isn’t how you want to spend your holiday. The pub and café in Church Bay should be some splendid picks for eating out – they're a five-minute drive away, or just over an hour's walk. Pop-up food stands also visit the site during high season. Seren-y-Mor is an eco campsite with composting toilets and hot showers.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Plenty of choice of where to pitch
Great compost toilets

Disliked: A sign said "reception" was managed 6-8pm I think but we didn't see anyone - not a dislike as such but for security and reassurance would have been good to see someone there at some point

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi, Sorry reception is open 6-8pm peak season, sorry if that wasn't clear, so glad you had a lovely stay x

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Loved the location - a gorgeous walk or short drive to a lovely beach. the campsite was so peaceful, beautiful views to the sea if you were in the right spot and easy access to the woods where my son had the best time playing. We really didn't need to leave the campsite at all.
Facilities were all really well looked after and in great working order. Loved that it was all eco.

Disliked: Loved everything

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Views, grounds, walks, location.

Disliked: Showers unclean, compost toilets awful. Overgrown grass. No staff.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi,
The compost toilets are stated on our listing, they are kept clean and in good condition. They are checked twice a day. Im sorry if you arent used to compost toilets, and the important reasons we use them, it is listed on our site to manage customer expectations.
The grass I have sent a picture today to pitch up as although it is not freshly cut as we are a rustic site but isn't overgrown.
We have reception open 6-8 in peak season, and we state that on our listing and site, so sorry if you didn't see us, I do check the site twice daily, hopefully, you were out exploring the wonderful walks.

Beautiful, secluded location with countryside views. Be mindful of where you set…

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Beautiful, secluded location with countryside views. Be mindful of where you set up if forecasted to be windy. Try to pick a sheltered spot.

Disliked: The long drive to campsite from the road could do with leveling or resurfacing as lots of pot holes and very rugged in parts.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi, So sorry for the weather the one thing we cant help! Glad you found a sheltered spot! The track has been hard with this weather we are on the case to sort it out xxx

Route directions

Once you enter the estate, you will cross over two cattle grids. After crossing the second cattle grid, there is a left-hand turning marked 'CAMPING'. Follow the signs on the track through two fields. The final field is the camping field, where the toilets are directly ahead of you. Please pitch up in these fields along the hedge or the treeline, where it is sheltered, leaving eight metres between your pitch and other guests. What3words: clip.relief.abode.

Local attractions

You can learn all about Amlwch and its 18th-century transition from fishing village to copper mining town at the Copper Kingdom Centre (25 minutes’ drive). After checking out the displays, stroll along the colourful trails lacing Parys Mountain, which was once home to the world’s largest copper mine. Step into a tropical environment at Pili Palas Nature World (half an hour). Here you can marvel at butterflies and moths flying all around you in the butterfly house, watch meerkats being fed and meet colourful macaws and cockatoos. There are also exotic spiders and lizards, and (if creepy-crawlies aren’t your thing) fluffy rabbits and inquisitive miniature goats. Sitting on the Menai Strait, Plas Newydd House and Gardens (35 minutes) is an 18th-century mansion with gardens bursting with vibrant hydrangeas and rhododendrons. It’s worth popping inside too, to catch a glimpse of a gigantic mural (measuring 17.5 metres) by Rex Whistler depicting an idealised view from the building.
