  • Self-catering family-run site right on the Isle of Anglesey coast
  • Haven for walkers: Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path crosses the site
  • A 30-minute drive from Bangor and 45 from Holyhead
It’s back to basics at Arfor Camping, a tents-only site in the coastal village of Moelfre on the Isle of Anglesey, where it's all about nature, the ocean and your own two feet. Arfor is well-placed for rambling: the 130-mile-long Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path passes directly by the site, running around the island’s entire coastline and passing some of Anglesey’s most spectacular spots. Keep a watchful eye out for peregrine falcons, choughs, terns and seals on your travels; on a calm summer’s day, you may even spy porpoises swimming by in the cove… Rest your weary legs back on the two-acre green-field site, where you can kick up your feet and relax with views over the sea to Puffin Island and the Great Orme at Llandudno. There's little to interfere with the peace, but the site has essential amenities including running water and portable toilets in the accommodation field. When it comes time to carb-load for the next day – or if, you know, you’re just hungry – Moelfre village centre is a few minutes' stroll away. Pull up a pew in the pub or café for food or pick up a takeaway from the chip shop, then treat yourself to an ice cream from the local parlour. You deserve it… Please note that Arfor Camping is not able to accept campervans or motorhomes.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Fantastic views, lovely location with beautiful walks direct from the site.
Limited facilities, but portaloos were kept clean and well stocked with toilet paper.
Generally quiet, one noisy pitch, but gone the next day.

Disliked: Quite a sloping site, so very few of the pitches are completely level, although it is slightly terraced, so none of the pitches are too bad.
Exposed, so expect some wind!
The approach to the site is down a tight single track lane, with stone walls, so larger vehicles will need to take care.

Excellent site with clean facilities and friendly staff.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The location and view is wonderful looking out across the sea by the lifeboat station. We were with our 3 children - 8,6 and 1 yrs and this site was great.
The site is well organised with marked out pitch areas and the portaloos were kept very clean wi the 3 cold running taps.
The owners were really helpful finding us a set of pliers for minor fix on our stove too. Thank you for a lovely weekend.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Really straight forward camping; super clean toilets. Perfect location. Pitches just the right size although a bit tight for larger tents and a car but the location was perfect!

Disliked: Bit tight pitches and tight road in but nothing that can be done about that. A small sink would be a great addition.

Liked: Fantastic camp site! Right on the beach and near the lifeboat centre with a gorgeous coastal path on your doorstep. The toilets were perfectly clean all weekend and the campsite was well maintained and plenty of space per pitch - we will be back!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The views are amazing from this campsite. Clean toilets.

Disliked: The public footpath is right next to some of the pitches. It’s a bit of a catch 22. Next to the public footpath is flat ground, away from the public footpath you would pitch on a slope.

Recommend to friends Visit again

A very relaxed and easy going short break.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Beautiful location. Views were fantastic. Site owner, Michael, was most welcoming and very informative about the local area.

Village and all of its amenities was just a five minute walk away from the site.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike as long as you're happy with the sites facilities, portaloos etc, but this is clearly explained at the time of booking and on the online site information.

Local attractions

If you don’t feel like spending your break trekking through dunes, marshes and farms, there’s plenty on the Isle of Anglesey to see without having to follow the coastal path. You can start close to home by calling over to Moelfre Lifeboat Station – Arfor Camping’s next-door neighbour – for a tour, or watch for the regular launches while you're lazing around on site. Take a look inside South Stack Lighthouse at Holyhead, explore the stunning Ynys y Fydlyn beach, wander the Hidden Gardens at Plas Cadnant, visit Plas Newydd House and Gardens and embrace your inner twitcher at Cemlyn Nature Reserve… all are within 45 minutes' drive. Your stay on the Isle of Anglesey doesn’t have to feel like you’re in the middle of the ocean – you can make your way to the mainland across Menai bridge or the spectacular Britannia bridge, and Arfor Camping is only 30 minutes from Bangor, where you can dive in and out of shops, restaurants and museums all the day long. Once you’re on the mainland, get your fill of grand buildings with visits to Penrhyn Castle and Caernarfon Castle, both around 30 minutes from Arfor.
