  • Family-run campsite nestled in the Comeragh Mountains
  • A 10-minute drive from Clonmel and surrounded by walking paths
  • Kitchen and a thatched wine bar serving food and homemade soda bread
The campsite is part of a 60 acre sheep farm that keeps us busy through the year. With the town of Clonmel 6 miles away there is ample opportunity for shopping, dining and drinking. On site we also have a campers kitchen, showers, toilets and a laundry room. In the evening time we encourage campers to relax by the peat-fire in the thatched barn where they can soak up the atmosphere of a good sing-song or a simple chat between fellow travellers.

What customers say

A grand, tranquil spot with friendly folk. Proper fireside craic in the bar and plenty of room. Basic, clean facilities. Some say it’s a bit old-fashioned, others find it a charmingly wild gem. Perfect for getting out and about.

Liked Overall very good campsite and good value too. Quiet and friendly atmosphere. We stayed for 2 nights with our toddler, it was his first camping experience and he had a great time.
Toilets and showers are in need of an update but they're kept clean.

Liked Quiet and tranquil site. Powered pitch was fine, easy access to power unit. Lots of wildlife.

Disliked Owner gave our pitch away the first night after we paid deposit to secure it because we didn't arrive until 9.30PM. Had to park in the yard between the social building and toilet block the first night, asked for 50% off for that night as didn't have the pitch we paid for, was refused as the owner stated Pitch Up got the deposit and kept this as their fee, not him. It was the aug bank hol weekend, busiest of the year and the owner was under considerable pressure for pitches and also I understand has had some other issues, and the discussion was civil, but was disappointed he wouldn't meet us halfway on the cost of the first night.
