Bryn Ednyfed Caravan Site in Caergeiliog, near Holyhead on Anglesey, is drawing attention from holidaymakers and caravanners for its facilities catering specifically to pet owners.
The adults-only site, which has 20 pitches, has introduced a dedicated dog-wash area in addition to a dog-walking space, a move that aligns with a growing trend among campsites to provide pet-friendly amenities as more travelers bring their dogs on holiday.
Located just a 15-minute drive from the coast, the site offers electric grass pitches, fully serviced hardstanding pitches, and non-electric options.
According to Campsites.co.uk, electric hook-ups range from 10-amp to 16-amp depending on pitch size. The site’s proximity to Breakwater Country Park and Holyhead Mountain also gives visitors access to walking trails and wildlife, with RAF Valley nearby offering occasional views of military jets.
Facilities at Bryn Ednyfed include showers, laundry services, a café/takeaway, toilet disposal, and Wi-Fi. Barbecues are permitted as long as they are raised off the ground, though open fires are not allowed. Dogs must remain on a lead at all times.
According to WalesOnline, reviews of the park remain positive. In August 2023, one visitor wrote:
“We are pretty new to caravaning, but this place blew us away. Facilities are first class, pitches are wonderful, location is perfect, and the atmosphere amongst other campers is so friendly. Kelvin and Ruth should be so proud of what they have created, it is genuinely faultless in every way. We can’t wait to return, and we have in fact booked another visit.”
Another review in May 2023 described the park as a “gem of a find” and praised the “immaculate shower block” and modern facilities, including a laundry area with a coffee machine and bookshelf.
For professionals in the outdoor hospitality and caravan park sector, Bryn Ednyfed’s approach demonstrates how even small sites can differentiate themselves in a competitive market.
With only 20 pitches, the park relies not on scale but on tailored amenities, particularly for dog owners, who represent a growing share of the domestic travel market.
The addition of features such as dog-washing stations reflects an industry-wide movement toward enhancing guest experience through niche services. This strategy could offer insights for other operators looking to attract repeat visitors and secure strong word-of-mouth recommendations.
