  • Eco-friendly site in Miltown Malbay, a hub of traditional music
  • A five-minute drive from Spanish Point and the Wild Atlantic Way
  • Fresh produce for sale on site from the organic smallholding
Ireland is known as the Emerald Isle, but this County Clare site is green in more ways than one… Eco Camping Glamping is a peaceful park three kilometres from seaside strolls along the wild west coast. Head to this off-grid, eco-conscious site to wake up to views of green fields, native trees and wildflower meadows. All of the site's power, including charging points for gadgets, is supplied by renewable sources. There's also an organic smallholding on site, meaning that the folk that run this place are well-placed to supply you with healthy goodies like free-range eggs and fresh salad. The surrounding landscape is pleasant and gentle indeed, but more dramatic views are just around the corner. Head to the coast (five minutes’ drive) to join the Wild Atlantic Way – highlights along this well-trodden trail include the Cliffs of Moher, Spanish Point and the lush Loop Head Peninsula. For some beach time, Spanish Point beach is a three-kilometre or 45-minute walk away from the site (or a five-minute drive). Whitestrand, Miltown Malbay, is another fine spot for a quick swim, and it's only five minutes' drive away from the site. Eco Camping Glamping is close to Miltown Malbay – so close, in fact, that this town's food shops, bars and pubs can all be reached within a five-minute walk. This place is known as 'the home of traditional Irish music', so a toe-tapping pint or two at a local live music night should certainly be on the cards during your stay.

Primitive grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked La proximité du village et de son pub animé le soir. Super musique live même Un mardi !

Une douche par miracle assez chaude !

Disliked -Camping crado sous couvert d'eco
-Le foutage de gueule du "zéro dechet" ! En gros, tu gardes tes poubelles et tu vas les balancer ailleurs, c'est pas leur problème...
- la réaction du gérant qui a balancé un seau d'eau pour éteindre notre feu car nous avons décliné son offre de nous vendre de la tourbe à 12 euros et s'est empressé de récupérer celle qui traînait là et avait déjà été utilisée...

Bell tent

Liked The overall vibes and ethos of the campsites is to be commended and it’s also very friendly and welcoming. The campsite is a very short walk from the town of Miltown Malbay and Lynches/ Friels has music every night of the week…great spot to go for a drink before bed.

Disliked The campsite is quite soggy and was very wet underfoot after little rain. We stayed in the bell tent which was spacious. It is a rubbish free campsite so we had to bring all rubbish with us and you couldn’t use toilet paper in the toilet , which was hard to get used to.

Liked LIKE THE IDEA OF THE CAMPING SITE, ETHOS ETC.

Disliked THE SITE WAS UNTIDY AND WHICH I FELT DID NOT PROMOTE THE ECO CAMPING MODEL.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked The quirkiness of the site.
There are 2 toilets, a hot shower and sink for washing dishes etc. There is a tent with some games for kids. Giant connect 4 and beanbags with target.
Ducks and chickens wonder around carefree as does a little kitten - all very cute!
Few mins walk into miltown malbay with shops,pubs and restaurants and only 3km to Spanish point beach.

Disliked We booked a larger pitch however on arrival we didn't really have a choice ehere to pitch as it was busy, which was fine for us but had I known I wouldn't have paid extra for it. I think it's first come first served for pitches so arrive early if you're choosy.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Ein sehr toller Platz. Wir haben sogar vor Ort noch weitere Nächte gebucht.

Man fühlt sich sehr naturnah, mit Außenwaschbecken mit Blick auf Teich.

Es wird viel Wert auf Nachhaltigkeit gelegt.

Man merkt, daß kontinuierlich instandgehalten wird.

Ideal mit Kindern. Highlight waren die ganzen Tiere (freilaufend teilweise) und das Zirkuszelt mit Spielen)

Nichts negatives, nur als Hinweis für Buchende: es gibt eine Warme Dusche, und eine kalte - ich habe aber auf die warme nie länger als 10 Minuten gewartet.
Es gibt einen Ort zum Laden der Handys mit Solarstrom. Der ist nachts natürlich nicht verfügbar.

Wer einen voll ausgestatteten Luxus Campingplatz möchte, ist hier falsch.
Dafür gibt es hier einen super netten Betreiber und immer hilfsbereite Mitarbeiterinnen und ganz viele Tiere :)

Der Ort ist Fußläufig erreichbar (max 5 Minuten). Kleine Geschäfte, Pubs mit leckerem Essen (und Bier natürlich).

Zum nächsten Badestrand nur 5 Minuten mit dem Auto.

Disliked Das wir weiter mussten ;-)

Local attractions

This stretch of the Clare coast really does hit the ball out of the proverbial park. As it's the closest beach, you'll most likely want to kick things off at Spanish Point (five minutes' drive), a peaceful stretch of sand named after Armada ships that were shipwrecked nearby in 1588. There's also a beachfront golf club here (also five minutes), a nifty nine-holer with ace sea views. Onwards next to further-flung spots like White Strand beach (25 minutes), the Loop Head Peninsula (30 minutes) and the Cliffs of Moher (30 minutes), each and every one of which is full of natural loveliness. The latter spot is particularly impressive and one of the most visited locales in all of Ireland – with eight kilometres of dramatic coastal vistas, 20 species of nesting birds and UNESCO Global Geopark status, there's certainly a lot to reel fresh air-loving travellers in. An afternoon trip to Willie Daly's Donkey Farm (20 minutes) should go down a treat with the children, although it's also worth knowing that there are some small farm animals to be seen around Eco Camping Glamping. The Aillwee Caves (50 minutes) are also likely to capture kids' imaginations.
