  • Well-established and popular holiday park on the banks of Lough Erne
  • Part of a 230-acre country park 20 minutes' drive from Enniskillen
  • Fishing, watersports, bike hire, play area, restaurant and bar on site
Now here’s a place that's got a very well-established reputation – and when a business has been thriving since 1966, you just know that it must be doing things rather well. That’s certainly the case with Castle Archdale Caravan Park, which has been operating in this lovely spot on the shores of Lower Lough Erne for well over half a century. Now owned by the Mahon family for more than 28 years, it’s grown to be a well-equipped and much-loved Co. Fermanagh holiday park for all ages. The setting gives it a head start, of course – it’s surrounded by the 230 acres of Castle Archdale Country Park, once a World War II airbase and now a protected park owned by DAERA. Enniskillen is a 20-minute drive away along the lakeshore for shops and other town amenities when you need them. And then there are all the facilities, covering both practicalities and leisure time. Guests here have access to watersports and fishing on the lake, bike hire for exploring the park, and a play area and various activities to keep the kids amused. A shop, picnic areas and barbecue areas are all on hand for self-catering times, and there's also a restaurant, chip shop and bar for easy eats and drinks (seasonal opening hours apply). On the practical front, you’ll also have access to things like a launderette, a wifi connection, gas cylinder exchange service and chemical toilet disposal.

What customers say

This clean, organised site offers a beautiful setting with extensive grounds, walking routes, and cycle paths. Facilities include excellent takeaway food, a shop, and a kids' play park. Many appreciate the space, cleanliness, and heated shower floors. However, some visitors noted that on-site amenities were closed, Wi-Fi was intermittent, and showers lacked seating and temperature control. Noise from children playing was also an issue for some.

Stefania F.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked We recently stayed at this campsite in Fermanagh and absolutely loved it. The pitch we booked was spacious, private, and had everything we needed: electricity, fresh water, and grey water disposal all right at hand. Everything was laid out perfectly and made for a very easy and comfortable stay.

It’s also extremely pet-friendly, which made a huge difference for us. The site is located in a beautiful park with endless walking trails and so much to explore; you could easily stay for days and never run out of things to do.

One evening, we decided not to cook and had a lovely pizza on-site, which really hit the spot. There’s also a restaurant and small shops within the park, which is a huge plus.

All in all, it was a peaceful, well-equipped, and welcoming place. We’ll definitely be back! 🏕️🐾🍕

Disliked Nothing to dislike but It would be nice to have a coffe shop with fresh pastries for the mornings and an improved WI-FI reception.

Disliked The only thing that let it down was the games room wasn't open it had being vandalized by young ones a bit of thought would need to be put in to that so the staff could see what is going on .

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked The setting was lovely, with a map showing some routes for walking in our welcome back.

Disliked There was a sign up in the toilets saying they would be closed at 10pm for cleaning which seemed a strange time, and no indication how long for, would it be overnight we wondered? And then they weren’t cleaned at all,

Disappointing for the price £40 per night!

Circle fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Space and general cleanliness. Very organised but flexible on pitch use due to limited occupancy. Great walks in grounds around old RAF base.

Disliked Hard standing pitches on old concrete runway difficult to use awnings etc. Facilities aside from camping all closed despite staying in June.
