About the site


Two minutes from Church Bay beach, the site is great for a traditional seaside holiday, kayaking or bodyboarding lovers, or long-distance walkers tackling the Anglesey Coastal Path. The site looks out over the rugged coastline, home to dolphins and a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, providing great opportunities to enjoy summer sunsets from your pitch. Tents, campervans, caravans and motorhomes are welcome across all of the grass pitches, each with a 16 amp electric hook up that is metered and payable onsite (30p per unit). Pitches vary in length and width, from 7.5m x 3.5m to 7.5m x 5.5m, though each has hedging on either side to add some privacy. Four non electric grass pitches are also reserved for walk-ins, located in the centre of the camping field. There are also three self-catering cottages available all year round. Bay Bites' onsite catering van is open seasonally, offering full cooked breakfasts and lunches in summer holidays, plus evenings at weekends from May Bank Holiday to the end of August. Paddleboard and kayak hire are available onsite too. Dogs are also welcome to join you for your stay, with up to two permitted per pitch. Please just ensure they are kept on a lead and exercised off-site. In the evening, you can enjoy a BBQ as you watch the sunset, just make sure it is raised from the ground. Open fires are not permitted.
