After a secluded stay on Anglesey? Take a peek at peaceful Pengraig Campsite. Up at the isle’s most north-western point near Church Bay, it’s about as far as you can get from the mainland without actually ditching into the sea.
With that far-flung setting comes a stunning sea view – one that can be gazed at for many hours from the comfort of your pitch (a recommended activity around sunset, with drink in one hand and a barbecue stoking implement in the other). See the sea from a different angle on the nearby Anglesey Coast Path or while strolling on the sands of one of the local beaches.
The waves aren’t the only gazing material around here – turn your back on the coast for scenic views of Mynydd Y Garn, or bring binoculars for a bit of birdwatching. Once darkness falls, direct your gaze upwards; the lack of light pollution means the stars can often put on a glittering show here.
This isn’t a place for folks seeking heaps of facilities and entertainment; the emphasis is very much on peace and nature. Low-key amenities include a drinking water supply, a chemical disposal point and a toilet block (with basins and proper flushing loos).
If you want to venture out in search of eats, pub meals and seafood suppers are five minutes’ drive away in Church Bay, and a little supermarket 15 minutes away in Cemaes.

Weekend Trip to The Peacock Shepherds Hut
Absolutely delightful place!! We arrived in the pitch black but found it very easily. The hut was beautifully furnished, when we woke this complemented the absolutely breathtaking views on what was a very cold winter morning but the hut was very warm and cosy. I will 100% recommend this stay and will most likely be returning for a longer stay to take in some more of the Welsh countryside.

Weekend Trip to The Peacock Shepherds Hut
The hut was lovely and had everything that we need for weekend getaway. The land was so peaceful and there were alpacas nearby. We arrived late a night and took the wrong turn at first but once we got on the right path it was easy to find. Would recommend if you're looking for quiet time off.

My friend and I were bonkers enough to camp here on NYE and we already can’t wait to return. Honestly the best NYE we’ve had! Everything about our stay was 5*, from booking to leaving. Sian was an absolute legend, we had the best pitch on the mountain. Absolutely stunning views. Fire pit was awesome, and the sheep were an added bonus! Lovely little collie pup came to say hi too.
Thank you for an epic new years adventure, we will definitely be back!

The Peacock Shepherds Hut was amazing. The views are incredible and the hut was really comfortable and well thought out from the lovely Peacock details to underfloor heating. The facilities provided everything I needed to enjoy a peaceful break. Fantastic place to relax and reset listening to birds and enjoying the roaming peacocks and wandering down to see the Alpacas.

Where to go
Snowdonia National Park
Snowdonia National Park is dominated by craggy snow-capped peaks and Welsh-speaking mountain villages like Beddgelert, as well as glacial lakes, the Coed-y-Brenin Forest Park and its mountain biking trails, and stretches of sandy coastline, including one of the only nudist beaches in Wales. Explore on foot or horseback, by train or bike, before pitching your tent at campgrounds at the base of mountains, glamping pods near slate quarries-turned-adventure activity centres, or caravan parks near the coast.
Isle of Anglesey
Replete with glamping grounds, caravan parks, and seaview campsites, Anglesey off the coast of northwest Wales is a must-visit for lovers of adventure and the great outdoors. Not only is Anglesey home to several castles, this secluded and historical island is looped by a scenic coastal path and is the ideal place to try sea kayaking, coasteering, and surfing.
Llŷn Peninsula
Campers will be spoilt for choice on the Llŷn Peninsula—also known as Snowdon’s Arm—a scenic spot home to numerous Blue Flag beaches, surfable and sailable seas in Abersoch and Pwllheli, and charming seaside towns, as well as glamping pods, caravan parks, and sea view campsites. Go to one of the coolest pubs in the region (it’s situated quite literally on the beach!) or walk the coastal path before visiting nearby Bardsey Island, a birdwatching hotspot.
When to go
Bangor is warmer over the summer months between June and September, although this is also peak tourism season. September is a good time to visit the city if you plan to go further afield and explore but this is also when the annual university cohort arrives, and Bangor proper can therefore feel rowdier than usual. Both spring and autumn are generally quieter and pleasant (even for camping), while February welcomes the annual Bangor Music Festival.
