  • Well-established and popular holiday park on the banks of Lough Erne
  • Part of a 230-acre country park 20 minutes' drive from Enniskillen
  • Fishing, watersports, bike hire, play area, restaurant and bar on site
Now here’s a place that's got a very well-established reputation – and when a business has been thriving since 1966, you just know that it must be doing things rather well. That’s certainly the case with Castle Archdale Caravan Park, which has been operating in this lovely spot on the shores of Lower Lough Erne for well over half a century. Now owned by the Mahon family for more than 28 years, it’s grown to be a well-equipped and much-loved Co. Fermanagh holiday park for all ages. The setting gives it a head start, of course – it’s surrounded by the 230 acres of Castle Archdale Country Park, once a World War II airbase and now a protected park owned by DAERA. Enniskillen is a 20-minute drive away along the lakeshore for shops and other town amenities when you need them. And then there are all the facilities, covering both practicalities and leisure time. Guests here have access to watersports and fishing on the lake, bike hire for exploring the park, and a play area and various activities to keep the kids amused. A shop, picnic areas and barbecue areas are all on hand for self-catering times, and there's also a restaurant, chip shop and bar for easy eats and drinks (seasonal opening hours apply). On the practical front, you’ll also have access to things like a launderette, a wifi connection, gas cylinder exchange service and chemical toilet disposal.

What customers say

Grand spot, spotless and grand facilities like warm showers. Staff are sound, always helpful. Lovely park for walks and water sports. Restaurant's a hit. Shop's a bit scarce, and kids can be a bit loud at times. Some pitches are a bit tight. Bit quieter out of season.

Jim S.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked Fully serviced pitches. Good for dog walks.

Disliked Very few people at this time of year so why put everyone together and not spread us out. We were stuck next to a really noisy family the whole weekend. The electric kept tripping out if you put your kettle and heating on at the same time. No staff at weekends.

Camping pod (no pets, deluxe)

Liked The pods are cosy and warm, easy to access parking space, picnic table and all you need near the pods area. The staff are really helpful and answer quickly phone call and emails.
Thanks Rodney he relocated us quickly because a small issue.

Disliked It's far from Belfast and there are no shops or restaurants around. Be sure you pack all your needs because Enniskillen is 20min away. This is not a negative point, just get all you need beforehand and relax.

Mark S.

Fully-serviced grass touring pitch

Liked Well serviced and drained pitches. Lovely showers and toilets with underfloor heating! We visited at a very quiet time so guess when full it would be a very busy site. Good Wi-Fi which is a rarity.

Disliked The different areas of the site are all separated by fences so you have to walk a way to get to the main office, bar etc. could do with a short cut! Would have been helpful. To have been provided with more information on local walks from the site etc. no leaflets available in reception and the receptionist could have been a little more enthusiastic, like what are you planning to do, where are you planning to visit etc. Still managed to sort ourselves out thanks to google.
