  • A 95-acre park in one of the nine glens of Antrim
  • Views towards Rathlin Island, Islay and the Mull of Kintyre
  • Traditional music, bar and restaurant on site
More glens? Yes please. You’ll be belting out the lyrics of Green Glens of Antrim as soon as you set eyes on this park, set in a National Landscape in one of the nine Antrim glens. Glenmore Caravan and Camping Park is between Ballintoy and Ballycastle, in prime position for some of the most eye-watering scenery in the country – you might be tempted to say ‘in the world’ when you see it… Glenmore is a whopper of a park at 95 acres and there are several different pitching areas available, so pitch up with the kids or hide away with your other half in a romantic corner to take in the viewpoints across to Rathlin Island, the Mull of Kintyre or Islay. Newbies are well catered for: just ask the very friendly owners if you need help with your van or tent or how to pick something to do from the vast range of activities in the area if you’re using the park as your touristy base at any time of the year. Handily, the site has a bar and restaurant. If your family or suffering other half are threatening divorce as you sing Green Glens of Antrim yet again, they’ll be easily pacified: the two young women resident at the park are members of the traditional Irish band Tir na Og and can usually be persuaded to give a few songs and tunes any night. Harmony reigns…

What customers say

Grand spot with class views for the Causeway Coast! Staff are dead sound. Site's clean, spacious and quiet, though showers/toilets are a bit old and could do with a spruce up and better cleaning. The quid for showers got a few grumbles. Still, most would come back.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (two person)

Liked The location

Disliked Facilities very poor and hadn’t been cleaned in years by the look of it

People arriving at midnight one in car and then later a van which was very noisy .
There wasn’t really room for either and both were disruptive .

Non-electric grass tent pitch (two person)

Liked La beauté de la région

Disliked Accueil pas très chaleureux,
Sanitaires au bas du camping dans un état lamentable, sales, portes qui ne ferme pas, d'eau chaude et de bac pour faire la vaisselle.
Pas de salle commune dans laquelle pouvoir prendre un repas en cas d'intempéries, ou se réchauffer une soupe.
Les 4 containers poubelles pleins à raborts.
Bref ce n'est pas normal d'offrir une telle prestation, voyageurs, passez votre chemin...

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked the owners were friendly and welcoming. We were asked to have a look around to see we were happy with the facilities before we paid up. Whilst in need of a little tlc, the facilities were clean and fine. 😁 Cash preferred. We had long days out and about so weren’t relying on camp much. John was happy to freeze our blocks when our fridge died. Reliable hook up.
The site was busy at weekend.‘Camp etiquette’ displays would be useful for newbies-squeegee the shower, wipe the basin, wipe down the sink, bbq away from grass, etc. it was clear from conversation that some weekenders had unrealistic expectations of campsites……
bad reviews on pitch up did not match our experience.

Disliked Not vital but could do with another wash up sink-Queues at busy times.
The lower field will benefit when the new loo block is finished.

Liked The location for visiting the giant’s causeway.

Disliked Toilet en shower building was very dirty. We paid 45 pound for 1 night. We expected that there is a clean toilet.

Local attractions

Both Ballintoy and Ballycastle are on the coast road to Giant’s Causeway, the alleged stomping ground of giant Finn McCool and the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Northern Ireland. Make a day of it by quivering across the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge (don’t look down) and calm your nerves afterwards with a toddy and a tour at Bushmills Distillery. Ballycastle is the ferry point for Rathlin Island, six miles off the coast. This RSPB reserve and tiny island is a must-see: get the Puffin Bus to the west coast to peer at the colourful critters up close, then stroll south to see the seals and the ruined stone cottages from days of yore. For day trips, the seaside towns of Portrush and Portstewart are where many Northern Irish folk meander to on a sunny day: Barry’s Amusements in Portrush is an institution, and Portstewart has to be visited for a roll down the sand dunes.
