  • Family-run Cloghane pub campsite on the Wild Atlantic Way
  • Conor Pass, Fermoyle Strand and Brandon Point all 10 minutes’ drive
  • Seafront pitches with stunning views of Brandon Bay and Mount Brandon
Appreciate spectacular views? Well… O’Connors Campsite has them in spades. This peaceful County Kerry stopover on the Dingle Peninsula has a spacious camping field where you can pick your own pitches overlooking Brandon Bay on the long-distance Wild Atlantic Way. Stay a while on this quiet, family-run campsite between the sea and the mountains of West Kerry, and you’ll surely fall in love with the stunning outlook to Mount Brandon and surrounding peaks. There are also numerous gorgeous beaches within 10 minutes’ drive, with Dingle and Castlegregory both about 15 minutes away. Any kids travelling with you will probably also fall in love with the small farm animals on site too. If you’re on for some good wholesome Irish craic during your stay, all you need to do is hotfoot it into O’Connors pub adjacent to the site, where you’ll receive a warm welcome, home-cooked pizzas and curries, and a lively line in music from local musicians. When you’re not feeling quite so sociable, the pub also does takeaways for you to carry back to your pitch, or you can spark up the barbecue – perhaps just in time to witness a stunning sunset on a clear day. If you are going down the self-catering route, there’s a convenience store selling essentials, pastries and pasties five minutes’ stroll away around the bay.

Primitive grass tent campsite (family)

Liked: The area to pitch was clean. Nice & spacious, even though there were a good few tents pitched, we still had a lot of room. We were lucky enough to pitch right up at the water so, we were delighted to do some fishing.

Disliked: Bathrooms are quite far (especially if it’s an emergency)

Fantastic location by the sea with an excellent pub & food on site.

Primitive grass tent campsite (two person)

Liked: Beautiful setting for a campsite. Had toilet and showers and was close to the pub for live music. It was nice and quiet. Added bonus able to park next to your pitch so you don't have to haul all your stuff with you

Disliked: If i was to stay here longer, I do think the facilities could be upgraded. I.e communal kitchen area and updated showers and toilets. But other than that ideal set up for a night or two

Liked: This was a very rural site right on the edge of the estuary. Views of the sea and the hills and a great signposted walk from the village. The pub was busy and friendly. Very basic facilities but clean. WiFi in the pub

Liked: The setting is truly beautiful. Probably unsurpassable. Other than repeating saying it beautiful can’t add any more

Disliked: As elsewhere in Ireland the recycling of waste doesn’t appear straightforward. Instead rather chaotic

Gareth D. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Unbelievable views of Brandon Bay and Mountains . Late check in easy as the site is owned by the pub. Friendly staff and the pub and its restaurant on your doorstep. Birdlife. The facilities are limited and a bit tired, but really adds to the authenticity of the place. The following night we were at a site voted ‘best in…’ this, that and the other, and in our view O’connors, for location and experience, beats it hands down !

Local attractions

If you’re planning on attending the Féile Lughnasa festival (the last full weekend of July), book your stopover at O’Connors Campsite well in advance to enjoy several days and nights of music and singing, sand-sculpture competitions, pet shows, a vintage-car exhibition and a pilgrimage up Mount Brandon (about an hour’s walk). There are many other walks in the locality, ranging from short strolls around Brandon Bay to harder slogs up to Arraglen Ogham Stone (two and a half hours), where there’s also a memorial to a crashed military plane as well as far-reaching views over moorland hills to the Atlantic Ocean. Otherwise, try sections of the Dingle Way, a walking trail that winds around the whole peninsula. Driving the rugged coastal Wild Atlantic Way? West Kerry sights on your itinerary might include the narrow, twisting drive through Conor Pass, dotted with lakes and waterfalls, the soft sandy beach at Fermoyle Strand (just the spot for family picnics) and the viewing deck with ocean vistas at Brandon Point (all 10 minutes).
