Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Peace, Friendly owners, campfires, views, locality- close to the Antrim coast.
The site was well maintained and clean.
Disliked While holidays are about escaping the technology and pull of demands from home. I think having WiFi available, if only localised to a small part of the site to research locations and facilities would have been really useful.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Lovely remote location, pitches were very flat which was great for our tourer, great scenery
Disliked This is no fault of the location, but there is no signal or very poor phone signal and with no WiFi on site makes it difficult for some things

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We had a fantastic stay at Watertop Farm Campsite. The location is excellent for visiting Ballycastle and exploring the stunning North Coast of Ireland, with many attractions and scenic spots within easy reach.
One of the highlights was the beautiful walking trails that start directly from the campsite, making it easy to get out and enjoy the surrounding countryside without having to drive anywhere.
The facilities were good throughout our stay. The toilets and showers were clean, well maintained, and clearly looked after regularly. The pitches were also exceptionally generous in size, giving everyone plenty of space and making the site feel relaxed rather than crowded.
Overall, Watertop Farm is a well-run campsite in a great location, with excellent facilities and lots of room to enjoy your stay. We would happily return and would recommend it to anyone looking for a base to explore the North Coast.
Disliked While the arrival board clearly displayed our allocated pitch, we had no direct contact with the host. A personal welcome and a brief introduction to the facilities and local attractions would have made the experience even better and helped guests feel more at home.

From the manager: Thanks for your review
It is important to us that the toilets etc are kept clean so we apologise that they were not up to our usual standard during your stay.
Every pitch has drinking water and grey water drain, this can be on the opposite side to left handed vehicles depending on the orientation. The chemical disposal points are indeed basic compared to some sites- but it's a waste disposal point and it does what it needs to...
We live and work on the farm and we are only a phonecall away when we're not in the yard. There is no reception instead we have self check in and signage. The alternative is to have a short check in timeframe, this way is more flexible for everyone.
I'm not sure if you mean the lane or pitch is difficult for larger vehicles but we have had all shapes and sizes of campervans/lorries/tractors here for many years, though some pitches are tighter for large axel vehicles
The farm is 6 miles from Ballycastle and we do not have wifi, that is stated on our listing so it is unfortunate it negatively impacted your review. I am glad you enjoyed the peace and quiet of this rural area and wish you a pleasant onward journey
Sehr schöne Lage, auch sehr schöne…
Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Sehr schöne Lage, auch sehr schöne Wiese, auf der nur Zelte stehen, kleine Küche mit Mikrowelle, Wasserkocher und Toaster, viele Schafe, Auszeichnung von kleinen Wanderwegen rund um die Farm, kostenloses Minigolf (ist nur so mittelprächtig, ist ja aber auch umsonst), kleiner See ... kurz: Wer ländliche Ruhe mag, ist hier richtig.
Disliked Kein WLAN, hat allerdings auch niemand vorher behauptet.
