  • Quiet family-friendly Anglesey site five minutes' drive from Moelfre
  • Benllech beach five minutes' drive; 10 minutes to Parys Mountain
  • Dogs welcome on site; 20 minutes' walk to dog-friendly Lligwy beach
The north coast of Anglesey is a wonderful location for a seaside holiday – and even better when it’s at Melin Rhos Caravan Park, a peaceful holiday park that’s only a 20-minute walk from the splendidly sandy Lligwy beach. Being so close to the beach means you’ll be able to wander up there whenever you feel like it for a stroll through the dunes, a bit of watersports action (windsurfing and kitesurfing are often good here) or an afternoon playing on the sand with the kids. Lligwy is a dog-friendly beach as well, so you can bring your four-legged pals along for a good run around and a paddle if you like. Also conveniently close by is the village of Moelfre, with another beach, a shop, a pub and a couple of cafés – it’s about five minutes’ drive from the site. Beyond that, places like Benllech beach and Parys Mountain are handily nearby for outings (both within 15 minutes’ drive) and there are heaps of great walks around, either on the Anglesey Coast Path or along inland trails. As this park is set a little way back from the shoreline, it’s nicely sheltered from any coastal winds – particularly good news for guests hoping to light a barbecue or set up awnings on their pitch. Facilities on site have all the basics covered – you’ll have access to toilets, token-operated hot showers and a washing-up area, along with a paid wifi service.

What customers say

This dog-friendly site is praised for its excellent location, close to beautiful beaches and charming villages. Guests enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, well-maintained pitches, and friendly staff. Facilities are generally clean, with hot showers, though some visitors felt paying extra for showers and Wi-Fi was a drawback. The check-in process being off-site and a distance from the pitches was noted by some. Limited facilities for children were also mentioned.

Kathryn J.

Electric grass pitch

Liked There was space around the tent pitches, lots of area infront for children to play freely. It is a very quiet site. Showers were a £1 token for 8 minutes, (which I huffed at, when told) Hot and Powerful and 8 minutes is plenty of time. Showers and toilets were spotless. This site is mainly static caravans and so there is not high use of showers and toilets. 15/20 minute (fit adult) walk to the beach, which is lovely. There is a bar, cafe and Ice cream shop at the beach. The staff were all lovely. The Warden went ablove and beyond when we realised the box with pump for tent, pegs and all had been left behind. With his help, and some fellow campers we got sorted. He even came back to check on us and thanked the other campers for assisting.

Disliked No shop on site, not walkable in to town, I thought I had booked the main site, nearer town. You have to go to Main site when you arrive and then drive about 4 miles to this site. Not allowed Fire Pits ( totally understand they should be off the ground etc, possible insurance issues), the only reason we possibly would not come back, we love a fire of an evening.

Karen B.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked The site, the staff, position to the beach, level pitch.

Disliked Toilet block. Dislike is a strong word, id say id prefer it to be more modern. Wifi, having to pay for it. Showers having to pay for it. I knew about the wifi and shower when I booked but I do think in this day and age these shouldn't be charged extra.

Nick S.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The site was quiet, only 3 others on the touring pitches, they are decent size pitches, was close the the toilet/shower block which was both good and bad. I think if it were full would feel a little claustrophobic. The showers are powerful and although £1 you get 8 minutes for that. Also close to a lovely beach which is an easy walk away.

Check in isn’t on site but a couple of miles away(I hadn’t read the email or noticed this on booking so my fault) I turned up on site and luckily someone was there and they told me where I needed to go. Again my fault for not reading.

I saw a Red Squirrel, which was nice.

Disliked The bad bit about the pitch we were on (1b) is the smell of the cesspit which wafted across every so often and it is opposite the bins,(I’m sure I could of moved but had already put the awning up) it is also very close to the entrance exit road so lots of people coming and going from the static pitches to the bins and in/out of park.
WiFi £8 per device.

Local attractions

For many visitors, a trip to Anglesey is all about the coast – and you’ll be nicely placed to explore plenty of that when you stay at Melin Rhos Caravan Park. Beyond your nearest beaches (Lligwy and Moelfre) it’s also easy to get to family favourite Benllech beach (five minutes’ drive) and historic Porth Wen (15 minutes) with its remnants of industrial buildings, or to cross the island to places like Rhosneigr and Newborough (both 35 minutes). Sticking to the coastline, you could also visit the unfinished Beaumaris Castle (25 minutes), known as ‘the greatest castle never built’, or book a boat trip with RibRide (25 minutes) to see the birds on Puffin Island. Other days out? How about a walk through the amazing colourful landscapes of Parys Mountain Copper Mine (10 minutes), meeting the butterflies and other mini beasts at Pili Palas Nature World (20 minutes) or heading over the Menai Bridge to try the adventure activities at Zip World Penrhyn Quarry (35 minutes)?
