  • Small and peaceful family-run site on Kerry's Beara peninsula
  • Derreen Gardens, Lake Glenmore and Healy Pass within 10 minutes' drive
  • On-site kitchen with oven and fridge; a 10-minute drive from the pub
It's worth going way out west for this gem of the Emerald Isle. And in fact you can’t actually go much further west: Creveen Lodge Caravan and Camping Park is on the Beara peninsula, a 48-kilometre-long jetty of Kerry (and a bit of Cork) pointing into the Atlantic: next stop, Canada. Wild this part of Ireland may be (it’s the bottom end of the 2500-kilometre Wild Atlantic Way route), but the family team at Creveen Lodge offers a civilised base for your scenic stays. Amenities include a communal kitchen, with hob, oven, fridge freezer and microwave; you can cosy up there watching TV by the fire too when the weather suggests it. There’s a café (with bike hire, what a brill combo…) five minutes’ drive away in Lauragh; it’s 10 minutes to the pubs in Bunaw and half an hour to supermarkets in the Beara’s unofficial capital of Castletownbere. For a quick intro to the area, stop for a cuppa in seaside Lauragh, hire a bike and pedal off round the coast to Derreen Gardens, where paths lead through 60 acres of gardens full of subtropical plants and down towards the sea with grand views of the Caha mountains. If you head the other way out of Lauragh, it’s a 20-minute ride to the 3,000-year-old Cashelkeelty Stone Circle (15 minutes by car from the site).

What customers say

Lovely mountain and valley views from this remote, peaceful rural campsite. Reviewers rave about the friendly owners, spotless facilities, and great communal kitchen. Some find the amenities a bit old-fashioned, but most have a brilliant time and return yearly. Perfect for a quiet break surrounded by nature, with plenty of pitch space and fire pits. Be aware of the narrow country roads to get here.

Electric optional grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Big site for tents. Very quiet. Remote area. Just beside amazing Healy Pass. Everyone super friendly. Amazing hosts (both older couple). Very friendly, with good ideas on how to make kids busy, and had a solution to every problem we had.

Disliked Facilities could do with a little modernisation. There was large amount of ticks in taller grass and under leaf trees close to facilities (not fun when you have active kids).

From the manager: Thank you for your review and happy you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to see ye again. When you are out close to nature and on grass it is not like being in a five star hotel on thick carpet.

Mark T.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Wonderful, peaceful, remote setting. Friendly welcome from the owner at the top of the hill. Views across towards

Disliked Facilities were certainly dated but they weren’t unclean during our brief stay. I don’t think we saw the site at its best as it rained most of the time and was very soggy underfoot.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you very much for your review and too bad about the weather but it was a very bad few days at that time. All the best to you and yours.

Fantastic place for nature lovers.

Local attractions

Beara remains a bit of a secret, a frontier land of deserted beaches, colourful fishing villages and ancient stone circles underneath the hefty Caha mountains. Get stuck in with a 10-minute drive to Glenmore Lake, a fine fishing spot surrounded by walking trails, where you’ll only be disturbed by the odd wild deer. To see the whole peninsula and beyond, drive past the lake to Healy Pass; stop at the 330-metre summit to see one of the finest views in the west stretching to the high mountain ranges of Co Kerry. To feel you’ve earned the view rather than just driven to it, walking paths up Mount Knockatee start 20 minutes from the site. If all that sea’s got your maritime spirits a-rising, try diving in Lauragh and kayaking and sea safaris to the seal colonies from Kenmare, half an hour away. If you’re more into walking by the waters, join the 200-kilometre Beara Way in Lauragh, a clearly signed and mostly coastal trail beginning and ending in the Gulf Stream-warmed village of Glengarriff (40 minutes). For those wanting to wander west until the land’s run out, there’s a treat at the tip of the Beara: an hour’s drive to Ballaghboy ends up by a cable car. Take the giddying 10-minute trip across open ocean to Dursey Island for the wildest and westest walking you can do.
