  • Quiet, no-frills farm camping near Ballybofey in rural County Donegal
  • Fishing and riding within five minutes’ drive; 20 minutes to Donegal
  • Back-to-basic grass pitches; yoga sessions bookable on arrival
Surrounded by glorious County Donegal views, Finn Farm Camping has a peaceful farm location near the rural town of Ballybofey, and is in pole position for long, peaceful ambles in woodland and more strenuous hikes in the hills – bring any canine companions along to join in the fun too. It’s all very relaxed out here, with just a few wild-camping pitches on level grass pitches. Facilities are minimal, but there are showers and a drying room so you can clean up after country walks and dry out your clothes if the weather turns sour on you. The helpful campsite team is on hand to make your stay easy and relaxed – in fact if you’re feeling a bit tense after travelling, book soothing yoga sessions on arrival. When you’re feeling suitably chilled, you could try your hand at art lessons too, also bookable on arrival. Ballybofey (five minutes’ drive) is the spot to pick up foodie bits and pieces for the barbecue, and if your not feeling that self-catering vibes there’s a host of shops, bars and nightlife – you might even come across some traditional Irish music in some of the pubs.

Electric grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: Peaceful site. Friendly dogs wandering about. Good (16amp) power supply.

Disliked: No chemical disposal point. No grey water disposal point. Dirty toilets in a rusty old freight container. Was informed by the staff that the tap water was unsuitable for drinking and we should buy bottled water: this turned to be false - it was just that they didn’t like the taste of the water.

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked: Brilliant place, feels like a farm. Short drive from the nearby town. Really friendly staff. Great facilities at great value. Soon as I arrived was greeted by a friendly woman who showed me around with her dogs. Would definitely stay again! Lots of things to do nearby and nothing they didn’t have.

Liked: Very friendly guy (owner?) very knowledgeable and willing to chat. Nice location. Quiet and remote

Disliked: Sloping pitch, had to sleep the other way round to avoid sliding. only 1 shower for the whole campsite. Very remote so you would have to drive
