  • Adults-only Anglesey pop-up site right next to Porth Trecastell beach
  • A five-minute drive from Rhosneigr surf schools and more beaches
  • Summer festival vibes with a horsebox bar, music and food trucks
Surfboards and swim gear at the ready – at Camp Bongo, you’ll be able to scramble out of bed and hit the water within just a few minutes. Not in the mood to be active? Stay cosy in your bed or crawl to your camping chair and just enjoy the sound of the waves and the views of the sea. All of this is possible because this adults-only pop-up site in Anglesey is in a truly fabulous location right next to Porth Trecastell beach, also known as Cable Bay. Designed as a playground for adults with a summer festival camping vibe, the site has a horsebox bar that runs throughout the season, plus an ever-changing line-up of music, live entertainment, daytime activities and food trucks. Depending on when you visit, you might be able to join kayak tours, ‘paint and sip’ sessions or cocktail-making classes by day before picking up pizza or fish and chips for dinner, and later settling at the social area to watch the sunset or catching some live music in one of the intimate performance spaces. Of course, the beach is always an option too – especially if you’re a surfer. For those who’ve not quite learned the art yet, there are surf schools and kit hire in Rhosneigr (five minutes’ drive away). Walks on the coast path are popular too (particularly if you’ve brought your dog along). Camp Bongo operates in an eco-friendly manner, with compost toilets, cold showers and freshwater standpipes to clean the sand off your feet.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked: It was easy to see how this site would be on a sunny weekend. The communal area was pretty and the fish and chip van was lovely. The entertainment on Saturday night was very good. Staff were very happy and helpful at all times.

Disliked: Unfortunately, the weather was very windy so we didn't get to experience the full atmosphere but this can't be helped.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked: It was close to two stunnng beaches, perfect for paddle boards etc, amazing sunset. friendly host.

Disliked: Sorry to give this review but feel honesty is best, the singer in the evening sang mostly really miserable songs, even one of his own songs that he told the audience he wrote when he was caring for his terminally ill Dad, I have complete empathy for him but this was not appropriate for the audience who were on their holidays, too many sad / funeral songs for me.

Extremely expensive at £25 a night. Not even Elsan here

Liked: The location was amazing, couldn’t be better. Good facilities although the cold shower was very cold! Really loved the live music, bar & food trucks

Disliked: The cold communal showers were bearable but would be my only dislike. We unfortunately picked a really, really windy weekend but can’t do anything about the weather!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: The staff were wonderful and helpful, the location was amazing, the view was priceless! Would totally recommend. The loos were surprisingly good, way better than portable ones. Great for adults and dogs, quiet at night, fun and colourful during the day. Lots of things to do around! Just get ready for windy weather in case you’re planning to cook/boil something during your stay.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Amazing weekend spent at camp bongo, brilliant entertainment and owners/team done excellent job.
Everything you need, camp bongo has.. showers, toilets and washing up facilities including live music, food trucks and bar! Would defiantly recommend.

Disliked: Only negative I would have is that the showers are cold water only so not very ideal when been in the sea all day, However that being said as an avid camper, the option to have a shower cold or hot is still very good.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: The location - being right on the beach was convenient and the views all round were great!

Great being able to set up wherever in the field

The toilets were frequently cleaned and the showers were surprisingly nice despite being cold water and communal

Nice to be an adult only space

Disliked: A water point next to the other set of toilets would have been nice

Updates to food offerings only mentioned on social media, not at the camp

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Lovely site , close to beach , lovely view in the right spot , entertainment and food , we had to give it up on the Sunday of a Bank Holiday , due to horrendous weather which was in no way their fault . I would have given it five but I do think it's a bit expensive for cold showers and compost toilets . Depends what you value i suppose.

Disliked: Nothing really except the price , we had a motorhome so wasn't really an issue but 127 for three nights no electric ,
cold showers and a compost
toilet seems a bit expensive when you're buying beer and food and could pay for other classes
such as the cocktail class for £25 pound

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: The vibe overall, what a fantastic idea! Live music, lovely cocktails and a food van available on the Saturday night! Toilets were clean, plenty of bins around, cold showers available too. We only live 15 minutes from the site but decided to give it a go and really did have a wonderful time. Hope to be back before it closes for the summer!

Local attractions

The beach by the site is a lovely one, but on an island like Anglesey it’s well worth getting out to explore as much of the coastline as you can – perhaps taking in a sunset at South Stack Lighthouse (25 minutes' drive), visiting the gorgeous Newborough beach (25 minutes), backed by dunes and pine forest, or taking a boat trip to Puffin Island from Beaumaris (half an hour). While you're in Beaumaris, you should certainly stop by to visit the imposing but unfinished Beaumaris Castle. The National Trust’s Plas Newydd House and Gardens (25 minutes) is another option for those who like to poke around in a grand building with gorgeous gardens. Anglesey has plenty to keep you busy for days on end, but there’s also the option of heading back to the mainland to explore Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park – perhaps hiking, riding the Snowdon Mountain Railway (35 minutes), trying all the adventure activities at Zip World Penrhyn Quarry (35 minutes) or heading to the cute village of Betws-y-Coed (50 minutes).
