Tigermouse uses a site in Benllech, which she reccommends highly I think it is Sunset Sands Not sure.
Did someone call??
You're nearly right VK, it's Golden Sunset camping fields, part of Golden Sunset holidays, on here in campsite search.
As others have said, it depends what you want from a site - if you want club, shop, pool, kids playground and all the bells and whistles then this doesn't have them, and it certainly isn't five star, but if you want a basic, cheap and easy going site then this one's great. You don't need to book, you just turn up, but the site is so extensive you wouldn't have any trouble finding a space even when it's busy. No designated pitches, you just pitch where you want, so ideal if you have a large tent - ehu points are limited but if you pitch near one and use it then there is no extra charge. Current prices are caravans £23 per night for two adults and two children, including electric, and tents £7 per person per night including ehu if you use it.
The main part of the site slopes quite steeply but there are lots of level places too - two toilet and shower blocks with various portaloo-type toilets dotted around the site as well. Only a few minutes walk into the village where there's three supermarkets, petrol station, three take-aways, a couple of cafes, three pubs and a handful of gift shops, and about 10/15 minutes walk to a great beach, or you can drive down as there's promenade parking and a car park. Also many areas of the site have views overlooking the bay on one side or towards Moelfre on the other.
I've been going to that site since 1997 when it was far more basic than it is now and I love it. I've spent several weekends there since April this year, went one Saturday in July and pitched in a lovely little corner with ehu - left my tent erected there for four consecutive weeks, coming home on Monday afternoons for work and returning on Friday evenings after work. Ok, so it's not the poshest of sites and there are probably far better ones on Anglesey but it certainly suits me.
Sorry if I've rambled on a bit but it really is one of my favourite sites - hope all this helps anyway.
