Are you already exploring or soon to arrive in Waterford? Take a look at Crotty’s Lake Camping – a handsome spot indeed, and one that will surely act as an excellent base for exploring Copper Coast beaches, cycling through the countryside and hiking green slopes overlooking lakes. Secure and private, Crotty’s Lake Camping has direct access to Crotty’s Lake, a spectacular lake surrounded by tall hills. The owner is on hand to meet guests and answer any questions you may have, or give advice on local things to do. And the surrounding area certainly has an impressive line-up of attractions. Within 15 minutes’ drive of the site is the Waterford Greenway, a 46-kilometre cycling trail on a former railway line, passing over three viaducts and the river Suir before ending at the Copper Coast. The end point for the Waterford Greenway is the harbour town of Dungarvan, otherwise 25 minutes’ drive away from the site. Several Copper Coast beaches are also within half an hour’s drive of the site. Facilities on site are well-maintained. The communal area includes a toilet, cooking facilities and a TV. The nearest shop is 10 minutes’ drive away if you need to source ingredients for your meals.

Fully-serviced grass and gravel tent pitch (no pets)

Liked: Camping site with excellent places to pitch a tent.
Unlike other campsites, this one allows you to camp in several places spread throughout the property, giving you more privacy and getting closer to nature.

Bernard was our host and was super attentive from the moment we arrived until we left. He showed us several available places to pitch our tent and told us the history of the place. He is one of those guys who really enjoys what he does, not just for the money.

There’s a cozy communal kitchen with tea, coffee, and even some biscuits available. No showers, just a basic toilet, but more than enough for us

Liked: We had an amazing weekend at Crottys campsite.. it was beautiful with amazing views and a little stream beside us. It had some Yellowstone vibes we will definitely be back soon. Everything you needed was there and facilities were very clean. Owner was very friendly and made sure we got the perfect spot and the fire pit was a bonus.

Disliked: Going home
