- 95-acre park in one of the nine glens of Antrim
- Views towards Rathlin Island, Islay and the Mull of Kintyre
- Traditional music, bar, restaurant and fly fishing
More glens? Yes please...You’ll be belting out the lyrics of Green Glens of Antrim as soon as you set eyes on this park, set in an Area of Outstanding Beauty in one of the nine Antrim glens. Glenmore Caravan and Camping Park is between Ballintoy and Ballycastle, in prime position for some of the most eye-watering scenery in the country – we’re tempted to say ‘in the world’ here, but then we’re biased…
It’s a whopper of a park at 95 acres and there are several different camping areas available, so you can pitch up with the kids or hide away with your other half in a romantic corner to take in the viewpoints across to Rathlin Island, the Mull of Kintyre or Islay.
Either way, we expect to hear Green Glens of Antrim being softly crooned to your loved ones – and dog – for as long as you can get away with. Newbies are well catered for: just ask the very friendly owners if you need help with your van, tent or how to pick something to do from the vast range of activities in the area if you’re using the park as your touristy base at any time of the year.
Northern Ireland is great for fishing but anglers won’t have to go too far with the fly fishing lake right on site stocked with brown and rainbow trout, before trying some champ in the restaurant and settling in for the night in the Glenmore bar.
If your family or suffering other half are threatening divorce as you sing Green Glens of Antrim yet again, they’ll be easily pacified: the two young women resident at the park are members of the traditional Irish band Tir na Og and can usually be persuaded to give a few songs and tunes any night. Harmony reigns.
Our facilities include: a modern shower block, laundry facilities, fly fishing on site, walks, barbecue and picnic areas, restaurant with breakfast available and a play area.
If you have never had any experience of fly fishing, there are lessons available and rods available for hire.
Open from 17/03/2017 to 30/09/2018

Check availability at Glenmore Caravan and Camping Park…
Many sites set a maximum occupancy of 6/8 people per pitch, so try breaking your booking down into smaller groups to generate more results. For example, if you’re a group of 10, enter 5 people in your initial search and then book 2 pitches.
However, where the pitch or accommodation occupancy allows it, you can make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children in one booking.
To book multiple pitches or accommodation, use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together. Complete the booking form for the first booking (you can add a password and save your card so that we remember your details). Then click "Make another booking like this" at the top of the confirmation page to make the next booking.
Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled ‘Please note’.
Large tents/caravans: check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit is suitable for the space you will be provided with.

Location
Glenmore is on the coast road 8 miles from the Giant's Causeway and a half mile from the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, the road is the B15 and called the White Park Road and goes from Bushmills to Ballycastle.
Bus no. 172 stops right outside Glenmore House and the campsite.
Local attractions
Just leave the park and start strolling: there are wondrous walks all around, with Antrim wildlife and birds abounding, or giddy up by cantering around the coast on horseback.
Both Ballintoy and Ballycastle are on the main coast road to Giant’s Causeway, the alleged stomping ground of giant Finn McCool and the only World Heritage Site in Ireland. Make a day of it by quivering on the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge (don’t look down) and calm your nerves afterwards with a toddy and a tour at the Bushmills Distillery.
Seaside town Ballycastle is a mere three miles away for more traditional music on Friday nights in the very old House of McDonnell pub, and is also the ferry point for Rathlin Island six miles off the coast. This RSPB reserve and tiny island is a must-see: get the Puffin Bus to the west coast to peer at the colourful critters up close, then stroll south to see the seals and the ruined stone cottages from days of yore.
The Manor House hotel dishes up top local grub including freshly caught lobster and more champ, and pub grub is available in the nearby bar – or grab a crab burger from Chip Ahoy: just look to the right for the van once you get off the ferry.
For day trips, the seaside towns of Portrush and Portstewart are where many N Ireland folk meander to on a sunny day: Barry’s Amusements in Portrush is an institution, and Portstewart has to be visited for a roll down the sand dunes.
Any golfers worth their tees need to get along to the Royal Portrush Golf Club, which is the only club in N Ireland to have hosted the Open and which is just 12 miles away from Glenmore. Or pack the paintbox and hit the beach: there are several gorgeous sandy spots along the Antrim Coast, such as the painters’ paradise Ballintoy Harbour.
