  • Spacious property in the Co.Down countryside, next to Divis mountain
  • A 15-minute drive to central Belfast; 35 minutes to Antrim Glens
  • Restaurant and play area on site; direct access to walking trails
To the countryside or to the city? You’ll be able to pick and choose day by day when staying at Standing Stones Lodge. This spacious Co.Down property sits just next to Divis mountain and is about 15 minutes’ drive from central Belfast, so it’s a handy spot indeed for those who like to pack a lot of variety into their break. That location gives you some pretty spectacular views of your surroundings – and there’s plenty more gorgeous scenery around this part of Northern Ireland too. Getting out to see some more of it should be straightforward, as the lodge is only about 10 minutes’ drive from the M1, for access to the motorway network for journeys to the coast, up into the Mourne mountains or in fact to any spot you’ve chosen for a day out. Staying here in the open air is a fabulous way to soak up some of that scenery, and the team that run the property have made sure there are plenty of useful facilities available to help you have a relaxing stay. Well-kept toilets and showers are available, along with added extras like a chemical disposal point and a washing-up area. The whole park is monitored by CCTV to keep guests safe and secure. Sunny days at Standing Stones Lodge can be spent with the kids running around at the play area while you tend your barbecue; there are picnic tables provided for outdoor meals with a view. On less clement days, or if you just don’t fancy cooking, stop by in the park's restaurant – it’s open for breakfast and lunch every day, and dinner from Thursday to Saturday, with a tempting range of good-value classic dishes.

What customers say

Beautiful views & handy for Belfast. Staff are a big hit! Restaurant's good too. BUT, many guests found the facilities, especially toilets/showers, really needed a clean. Water issues and site upkeep were also concerns for some.

David B.

FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Handy for Belfast city centre visit. Short drive to 'park n ride' train station. Free parking all day and approx £4 train fare into centre of Belfast. Staff are friendly and try to make your stay as good as possible with the facilities available. Nice bar on site.

Disliked Poor camping/motorhome site. Campsite toilets and shower are a disgrace. Thankfully we were allowed to use the toilets in the Lodge.

Liked Staff. Apart from that, absolutely nothing

Disliked Dreadful. Dirty and poor toilet facilities. No washing up area. Like a vagrant site. Staff friendly but doing a good job under difficult circumstances. Owners should be ashamed.

FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked The location in the countryside close to Belfast, the view and the sunsets. The convenience of having a high class restaurant on the doorstep including for breakfast (although we didn't make use of it, being self contained). The size of the pitches for caravans / campers is very good and clearly divided.

Disliked The toilets and dishwashing facilities could be better. It would be useful to have a grey water disposal point that vans could drive over. The hills (for elderly cyclists!)

Local attractions

Boots at the ready… you can walk straight from the lodge onto the Divis mountain trail, or the Black Mountain trail, both of which have gorgeous views along with a good amount of wildlife to spot (see if you can spot any red grouse or peregrine falcons overhead as you look out towards the Belfast skyline). More walks? Head out into the Antrim Coast and Glens Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (35 minutes’ drive) or aim south to the mountains of the Mourne Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (50 minutes). If you’ve not managed to spot any big birds along the trails, you’ll surely have better luck at World of Owls (35 minutes). For magnificent buildings, meanwhile, try Antrim Castle (20 minutes) or Carrickfergus Castle (half an hour). Belfast (15 minutes) is a grand place for a day out too – perhaps visiting the Titanic Museum and Crumlin Road Gaol or taking a black cab tour to learn about the city’s troubled history.
