Site Spotlight – Anglesey

Site Spotlight: Anglesey

As we look ahead to the busier summer months, I want to share with you campsites that sit truly off the beaten track. North Wales remains a perennial favourite, and I know for some of you, the draw is to the island of Anglesey and the roar of engines at Trac Môn (Anglesey Circuit).

We know that after a high-adrenaline day at the track, the ultimate luxury isn’t a crowded holiday park—it’s the contrast of total silence. For the discerning motorhome traveller, a “glamourous” getaway isn’t about manicured hedges and paving stones; it’s about the freedom of a wide-open horizon and the salt spray on the breeze.

If your version of “glamping” involves parking your motorhome where the land simply runs out, Pengraig Campsite near Church Bay is your ultimate Site Spotlight Anglesey sanctuary.

The Setting

Pengraig is delightfully low-key. Set on a sprawling coastal farm, the pitches are spread out to maximize the view. To your west, the Irish Sea stretches infinitely toward the horizon; to your east, the silhouette of Mynydd y Garn rises from the heather. This is a place where the “structure” is dictated by the landscape, not a site map.

Why It’s Perfect for GlamperRV

• Uninterrupted Sea Views: The site is elevated, meaning you can position your GlamperRV to act as a private gallery for some of the best sunsets in the UK.

• The “Slow” Experience: Facilities here are intentionally basic (water, but no electric hook-ups on the wildest pitches). It’s the perfect excuse to test your GlamperRV’s off-grid capabilities while enjoying the silence that only a remote farm can provide.

• Dark Sky Territory: With zero light pollution, the Milky Way is often visible from your doorstep. It’s a literal five-star experience.

Out & About

• Church Bay (Porth Swtan): A short, scenic walk takes you down to this beautiful cove. It’s home to the famous Wavecrest Café (legendary cream teas) and the Lobster Pot, where you can enjoy local seafood caught just meters away.

• The Anglesey Coastal Path: The path runs right past the farm. Head north for dramatic cliffs and seabird colonies, or south for hidden pebbled beaches that you’ll likely have all to yourself.

• Wildlife Spotting: Keep your binoculars on hand; porpoises are frequently spotted off the coast here, and choughs (rare red-beaked crows) dance in the updrafts along the cliffs.

Lucy’s top tip: Embrace the Off-Grid

Since you’ll be relying on your onboard power, use the opportunity to truly disconnect. Switch off the devices, open the skylights to let the sea air in, and let the rhythm of the tides be your only schedule.
