Powered grass and gravel tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: The owner is very helpful & welcoming. We had a great weekend with fantastic views over Carlingford. I used google maps to find the location but some sign would be good at the entrance. There is no WiFi (good, digital detox) but I was able to get a phone/data signal. We loved our time there! Thanks 🤓

Disliked: The shower and toilet are basic/rustic. I chatted with the owner and is planning lots of upgrades which will take time. Great place Great location Great owner Can’t wait to go back!!

Primitive grass and gravel tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Quiet site; no big electric lights to block starlight; very friendly and helpful owner/host; beautiful views, close to conveniences.

Disliked: Could do with better signposting from the surrounding roads, as even Google maps can't seem to find it. Having said that, the owner did send explicit directions by text ahead of time. A more accessible shower would be nice for those staying longer than one night.
