 Fantastic lovely clean site clean toilets and showers the whole place spotless and it was a busy bank holiday weekend. People next to us left during our stay five mins after leaving and grass was cut on pitch ready for next guest class! Did not leave site much weather was great so plenty to do on site lovely beach and park and on the saturday there was a sports day for the kids they loved it and slept well double bonus. Locally plenty of food shops not more than ten mins drive, two or three pubs as close site only ten mins from a55 nice easy drive. The best i can say the kids loved it we have booked two weeks for next summer!

I've just come back from Penrhyn Bay campsite and I loved it. I went with my friend, parents and her little brother. If you are visiting this camp site with children, its brilliant.
Also I would recommend it for middle age and over. There is a beautiful over look of the Penrhyn beach. Parents be aware there are multiple opportunities for your child/ren to be 'adventurous' and climb rocks and visit the sandy beach on their own.
SWIMMING POOL- the pool is a decent size but has way to much chlorine in.
TOILET BLOCK - I was very impressed with the toilet facilities. They where very clean. However you did have to pay for the hairdryer. 50p isnt that bad!
THE PARK- this was the best area because there are plenty of equipment for children to play on. Also opposite the park there was a tennis court.
No issues for me, definitely recommended

We visited this site about 3 years ago and well done to the site owners there have been vast improvements, although it was a good site 3 years ago!
The toilets were exceptionally clean, always an important factor, showers were hot and powerful, although lack of a mop, if it was muddy outside there would be no way of freshening the shower floor for the next person.
I have two other small gripes, sorry but for an already superb site - the added bonus of a few benches to sit and appreciate the views would be lovely. At our age our legs were very tired and it would have been nice to sit awhile.
Also there were no dog litter bins, it is a long walk to the bin area just to pop the bag in, that could be why there were so many dog bags strewn on the beach. People are very lazy.
Other than that a beautiful position, we had a hard standing but you could pitch your tent right on the edge overlooking the rocky beach.

Just spent Easter at Penrhyn Bay and had a great time.
First impressions upon arriving are that this is quite a big site, mainly caravans, but there were plenty of tents too and the odd motorhome. It is in an excellent spot, right on the beach, about 15 mins drive from A55/A5. It's great to zip the tent up and be walking on the beach in 2 minutes!
There are 4 main areas, with pitches around the circumference and nice open grass in the middle giving the feeling of lots of space in front of our tent. We had electric hook up, but you could pitch your tent right next to the beach if you didn't need the hook up.
The site is very clean and tidy, one toilet block in the middle with Ladies/Gents toilets + showers (6 showers in the gents, no coins or token required, nice and hot) quite new, very clean, not too busy for the size of the site and the fact that the site was full. There is another set of toilets next to the reception area.
There is a children's play area, and an indoor swimming pool, for a modest cost of £1 per child/£1. 50 per adult.
Washing machines and tumble driers available too.
Even though we were in the centre area, near the toilets and children's play area it wasn't noisy at all.
There is a quite comprehensively stocked shop on site with newspapers, food etc. Open 0900 to 1700.
As this was our first time on Anglesey we drove around quite a bit - there didn't seem to be anywhere to eat within walking distance (if you ignore the Chip van, on site most weekends)
Food wise, I would recommend the White Eagle pub at Rhoscolyn, it is extremely child friendly, with excellent views over the bay. Large menu, and good range of children's food. Lots of toys to play with while you're waiting for your food to come.
Spend the afternoon at the beach there then go for a nice meal afterwards. It's not the cheapest, but the food is good. It's about 25 minutes drive from Penrhyn Bay.
I would definitely recommend a stay here, and would love to return when the weather was a bit warmer.

As previous reviewers have said this is a large site with many seasonal pitches. They must have been a Hobby dealer at some point as most vans are these.
The access to beach could not be better with no pitch being more than @50m from the beach. The pitches were flat and well kept with water and waste on the pitch.
The only issue we had was the toilets. The site was full but the toilets were only cleaned once within a 48 hour period after we arrived meaning a lovely block was really let down by hygiene. What a shame as if it were not for this then it would have got 10/10.
If the owners read this review please, please put some more effort in to cleaning and this is likely the best site in Wales!

I first stayed at Penrhyn in 1962 with my parents my family owned three of the first static vans on site. In those days it was was uncut grass and we shared the field with sheep. After forty years the caravan was blown over in the wind so with my own children we camped. Fifty years later we still go every year. We now have a touring caravan. The toilet and shower facilities are new and kept clean, it is a beautiful site heaven for the children, so safe. Tennis court, footy pitch, indoor pool. The beach is a two minute walk from site, long, clean and fab views of the ferries going in and out of Holyhead. Three generations cant be wrong.

We were looking for a site very close to a beach, ideally with an indoor pool and a playground for the kids. This site met all our requirements plus more: a nice tennis court, a games room, a shop and plenty of open space for ball games.
The site is in a fantastic location for the beach. You couldn't really get much closer unless you were camping on the sand. My only reservation is that I am an urbanite and the drive along the winding roads to get to it drove me crackers. (Husband, on the other hand, loved the drive!)
There didn't seem to be specific pitches for tents, just general areas. We were given a choice: camp further away from the toilets, showers, playground etc but with great views of the sea, beach, coastline and where it's a bit more peaceful at night.
Or camp next to the toilet and shower block, be next to everything, but be realistic that there will be a bit more noise. We chose the latter as we have little kids who need the loo all the time and want their independence by walking by themselves to the playground. It worked well as there were families like us whose kids played together.
Shower and toilet blocks were pretty clean; the main newest block could have done with a second midday clean just because there were so many users when we went. There's a small charge for the heated pool. We were surprised that our kids only wanted to go in once but I think the water temperature put them off.
It's fine if you keep moving but if you are still for too long, it can become a little cold. And our kids are nesh! The ambient temperature of the pool room is lovely, though, and some people just went in to sit on the side, keeping an eye on their kids.
All the staff were really friendly and the shop is fine. My only gripe was that it closed a bit early (5-ish) if you wanted tea or supper time extras.
Had some great days out: South Stacks lighthouse, Beaumaris Castle (and lovely chippy dinner), Menai Bridge including the quaint and lovely Menai Bridge Museum. (There's a Waitrose in M Bridge, too, if you fancy some posh, pricier groceries. ) We also had a nice day going to the beach in Rhoscolyn with a fantastic and v child-friendly lunch at the gorgeous White Eagle. Could have eaten everything from the menu.
All in all, we had a fantastic holiday and were blessed with the weather. Yes, it can get windy, but take extra tent pegs and plenty of warm clothes.

What a fantastic campsite. The shower / washing / laundry facilities are excellent, the owners were very welcoming and the whole site has a very relaxed atmosphere.
We camped (without electricity) on the headland and woke up each morning to stunning views across the bay and a beach just steps away. This campsite is perfect for children; there is a playground, rocks to climb, football pitch, tennis court and best of all an indoor heated swimming pool.
We didn't need to leave the campsite, except to get barbecue supplies in nearby Holyhead. The pebbled cove was the setting for our beach barbecue and the sandy beach on one side of the campsite provided our youngest with his first surf lesson.
The shop on site is very good and a mobile fish and chip shop visits on Saturday evenings. This was our first family camping holiday in Wales and we had a brilliant time.
We are already planning our next visit to Penrhyn Bay and would highly recommend this campsite.

Just returned from this beautiful park.Staff were friendly site was spotless, close to the beach and the rocky coves for the kids.
Play park great for children.Pool was nice but did get a little overwhelmed with younger kids.Shop on site were reasonable though only down fall was it closed at 5pm but the shop in adjoining park was open later and you could pay by card.
Only let down was that we were told you could use the other camp-sites Bistro which had burnt down the year before but was informed that it was to be re built.
The site is a little away from the nearest town / village so little to do if you don't have transport but the beaches made up for that for us.
Over all we really enjoyed ourselves and will be returning next season to this lovely site.

We visited Penrhyn Bay during half term in June this year, as it was a place that I spent the summers of my childhood. It is a beautiful place, with excellent facilities. The shower block is spotless and with hot water. The beach is fantastic, we went to Beamauris for the day and visited the castle and jail, which was interesting. Would thoroughly recommend this site. (something that I would say, there was 2 adults & 1 child, so I found £25 a night quite pricey, especially as we were only in a tent)
