Has anyone got any recommendations on campsites on Anglesey, as I have checked the reviews on here for most of the campsites on Anglesy, and i am no further forward than when i started.
I am going away in August with the family, and some friends - and we are looking for a site which would fit into this criteria;
Not too far from a beach (but not necessarily on top of one)
Be suitable for younger children (collectively we have an 9,8 and two 6 yr olds)
Not too big that we cant let the children go off and explore(so no Bars/Entertainment complex)
Have a small on site shop
Fairly decent toilets/showers
Level pitches (we are taking tents)
Campfire's permitted
I know this is probably a massive wish list - but i think with the wealth of campsites on Anglesey, there is probably just a site like this.
Please help before we go out of our minds trying to decide on where to go.
Thanks for taking time to read this

Don't forget to leave a review of the campsites you have visited this year or last!
I can recommend Plas Uchaf in Benllech, Anglesey, just got back today, I also went in May, and have booked a further 3 nights in August. They don't allow open fires, but I had a small one going in one of those large throw a way bbqs, there is plenty of dry wood in the woods or just over the fence. I don't think you will find many , if any, that allow open fires. also there is no on site shop, but the local shops are only a 5 minute drive, if that, as is the beach, which is a very long sandy beach, that also has some kind of kids entertainment going on during the summer. also they do not overcrowd and only allow you to pitch around the perimeter of the fields, so the kids have got a big area to play, as you sit back and watch them, anyway read my review on the left.
This is my review from 2003 : This is a very well laid out site, very nicely kept - close mown grass, toilets immaculate. There is a good dog-walk at the beginning of the site, screened off by trees. The pitches are all pretty level, which made a nice change. There is a small tennis court, swings, table tennis tables but no bar or anything so it is quite quiet. My only complaint would be that there are no washing cubicles in the toilet blocks, but, hey-ho, you just make other arrangements - or shower!
We haven't been back, as it happens, but only because we've found a CL instead.
When we were there, we were the only people on one of the fields and, when we got back, a couple of girls had pitched their tent so close to us we could have reached out and touched them. I think our talking disturbed them because you could hear them complaining and tutting. There are some strange people around!
Home Farm on Anglesey is nice, clean toilets and showers, play area for children. Lovely little cove beach five minute drive. Not sure whether they allow campfires though.
Thanks for all the advice people!! Very much appreciated. We booked a site yesterday (most of the others were all fully booked) so, we are now praying for fantastic weather.
20 days to go - Yipeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Usually stay at Home Farm in the left field next to the play area. Great campsite. However this year our youngest is now walking (18months) so wanted somewhere a little quieter with alot less cars. Therefore we're going on Monday to Y Fronydd. Reviews are favourable and next door to HenBlas Farm Park which is a great day out.

Sorry - only just seen this as we've been away (on Anglesey actually!). My username was Ceri when I posted that review.
The review was for Plas Uchaf (as mentioned in the previous post to mine). We did like it but, having driven round it on Saturday, decided it wouldn't be our cup of tea at all. We're looking for a site for a rally and thought it might be a possibility.
Have a lovely time, we're not far from Anglesey at all, but we camped there in June (Stayed at a site called Y Fronydd). Lots to explore and some lovely beaches.
Croeso y cymru I hope you have a lovely time and the sun shines for you
We went to Anglesey last year Scout - and really enjoyed Beumaris (took loads of photos) My youngest is looking forward to going back to South stack, and my eldest is looking forward to going body boarding again. As for me and OH - we are just looking forward to sinking some wine and chillin'

Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.

If you get a day out in Beaumaris, visit cafe Neptune, the food is great. Also try Beaumaris Gaol if you get a rainy day.
