Small, quiet site in the grounds of a farmhouse next to Lough Neagh
Easy access from the M1, 15 minutes away; 40 minutes to Belfast
Dogs and kids welcome; play area and pizza oven in the grounds

Trying to find somewhere to stay close to Lough Neagh? Or maybe you need a quiet location that’s handy for Belfast International airport, the M1 motorway, or indeed Belfast itself? Well, here’s all of that rolled into one at Lisieux House, in a peaceful spot 100 metres from the banks of the lough and a 15-minute drive from the motorway. This tiny site is within the grounds of a traditional Irish farmhouse on an acre of land and surrounded by fields. With no noise from passing traffic, it’s a peaceful spot – and a scenic one too, with the Montiaghs Moss Nature Reserve and RSPB Portmore Lough Belfast site close by and public access to Lough Neagh 300 metres away at Derrymore Quay. Despite this rural location, you’ll easily be able to get to Belfast or its airport with a drive of 40 minutes or so. Dogs and kids are welcome here, and the garden has a zipline and swings for energetic youngsters to play on. There are also picnic tables where guests can catch up over their drinks and meals, including pizzas cooked up in the outdoor oven when it’s lit. You’ll be able to pick up all your supplies in Lurgan, 15 minutes’ drive away. As this is a small family-run site the facilities are fairly simple, but you’ll have access to a toilet and shower.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: This is a small site for a handful of tents at most - exactly as we wanted it. The location is natural - more like a garden than a campsite - and, being close to the huge Lough and some mature trees, was full of birdsong in the mornings. The owner is very helpful and relaxed in approach. We felt very welcome.

Disliked: There is really nothing much to dislike, unless you are looking for a boozy clubhouse and disco.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: We booked very last minute after realising our ferry way a day later than we’d planned. The general area and drive to the site was beautiful, with winding roads and views of the water. The site was easy to find and the hosts were incredibly inviting and kind. We had a wonderful evening socialising and returned to our tent to a good nights sleep with no interruptions. There was use of a toilet and shower, along with a sheltered area with some small amenities such as cooking equipment and chairs. The atmosphere was calming and safe and we’d love to return again in the future! Thank you.

Local attractions

This part of Co. Armagh is full of wildlife, and some of the best places to see it nearby are RSPB NI Montiaghs Moss Nature Reserve and RSPB Portmore Lough Belfast, both about five minutes’ drive away. The first of these is an Irish bog habitat where you can stroll along a boardwalk to see dragonflies and damselflies; the latter is a great place to settle in the hide to look out for birds including lapwings, swans and skylarks (depending on the season). For more wildlife watching, head to Oxford Island Nature Reserve (20 minutes’ drive) on the banks of Lough Neagh, or meet more exotic species like lemurs, crocodiles and emus at C&J’s Animal Park (25 minutes). If you’d like a different kind of day out, maybe head towards Lurgan (15 minutes) to visit 19th-century Brownlow House or get active at Craigavon Golf & Ski Centre. Belfast (40 minutes) is surely worth a day trip too – the city has lots to see, including the Titanic Belfast museum, Crumlin Road Gaol and St George’s Market.
