  • Touring pitches behind a family-friendly Co Kerry pub on the N22
  • A 10-minute drive to Killarney; 15 minutes to Gap of Dunloe
  • Pub menu of local produce for eating in or takeaway
Parking up behind a pub for a night or few is a fine choice for touring guests – gone are the days of discussing whose turn it is to drive to dinner, because you’ll simply be able to stroll from your van to the pub and home again with little fuss. That’s part of the attraction at The Kerry Way, a family-friendly pub with touring pitches in its grounds. Settle in here and you’ll be able to spend your days exploring Killarney and the Co Kerry scenery before heading back for a comfy evening in the pub with no need to factor in the drive home. There are plenty of drinks on offer at the fully licensed bar, for consumption inside or out on the open-air tables if it’s a fine day. Meals are on the menu too, whether you’re in the mood for a light snack or a belly-filling full meal. It’s all made from fresh local produce, and several options can be packed up for a takeaway if you fancy cosying up in your van for the evening. Guests have access to pub toilets but please note there are no separate facilities in the accommodation area. You’ll be able to use the wifi connection and charging facilities though, and you’re welcome to bring dogs along for your stay here. This is a handy location for getting out and about into the local area – the pub is just off the N22 about 10 minutes’ drive from Killarney, with plenty of options around for hiking, mountain biking, horse riding, kayaking and other outdoorsy pursuits.

What customers say

This site is praised for its convenient location, especially as a stopover on the Wild Atlantic Way and near Killarney National Park. Visitors consistently highlight the friendly and helpful staff, delicious food at the on-site restaurant/pub, and good value for money. Facilities include electric hook-up and water. However, some guests note that it is primarily a pub car park, with limited toilet facilities available only during opening hours and a location directly on a busy road which can cause noise.

Local attractions

A big draw here is the site’s proximity to Killarney National Park. There are lots of great walks around here, including woodland routes and waterfall walks, plus mountain clambers for the more adventurous visitor. Killarney Kayaking (15 minutes’ drive) can sort you with days of paddling across lakes and rivers, or you can take a more sedate trip with Gap of Dunloe Traditional Boat Tours (15 minutes). The area is also dotted with historical buildings to visit – Muckross House (15 minutes) is probably one of the best, with a traditional schoolhouse, craft centre and petting farm as well as the Victorian mansion and its lovely gardens. Full of friendly animals, Kennedys Pet Farm (two minutes) is a handy close-by outing for young kids; if you’re in more of a grown-up party you may prefer some time at the Irish Whiskey Experience (15 minutes). For evening entertainment, there’s usually live music going on in at least one of the pubs in Killarney (10 minutes); you may also find major events happening at the Gleneagle Arena (INEC) (10 minutes).
