  • Peaceful family-run site on the Antrim coast with sea views
  • An hour and a half's walk from Giant's Causeway and Dunluce Castle
  • Playground, games room and camp kitchen on site
The folk at UNESCO may have bestowed their coveted World Heritage Site status on just one place in Northern Ireland, but boy is it a corker. It is, of course, the famed Giant’s Causeway, up on the northern Antrim coast a couple of miles from Bushmills. A day trip here is a very fine thing, but a vastly preferable thing is to coast along for a few days at Causeway Coast Wigwams, two miles from the main attraction. Settle in here to see the spectacular stones at your own pace, following in the footsteps of the giants themselves to amble over there in an hour and a half at whatever hour you choose (and there’s free entry for those on foot, too… so perhaps you’ll stroll over more than once to see it in different lights?). And there’s more beyond that – the site’s also well placed for wanders to Dunluce Castle and a dram or few at the Bushmills Distillery. Golfers may possibly have heard of the local course, one Royal Portrush Golf Club; it’s a 15-minute drive away if you’d like to watch your idols in action or have a crack at the course yourself. Back at base, sea-view barbecues or campfires are a fab idea on a fine day; if it's a tad soggy (as is occasionally the case in this part of the world), confine your cooking to the well-equipped camp kitchen. With a similar nod to the fickle weather the owners have also set up both an open-air playground and an indoor games room (plus free wifi to check the forecast).

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked My kids loved the stay here, we’ve been to lots of sites and this has been the best experience! Beautiful horse in the field beside us that was so friendly! Few mins down the road to the local town and shops, 15mins from a beautiful beach! Absolutely amazing, can’t wait to stay again!

Very good site, facilities were well maintained

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Really chilled out place our 1st time camping in years with new tent and didn't feel pressurised to get out so eased alot stress as I've fibromyalgia and after 3 nights in a tent my body was really feeling it today so being able to take my time packing up was a massive relief even though I'm in alot of pain now we have been on checking dates to return another couple times this summer highly recommend very peaceful and quiet and fact u can go to a kitchen with everything u need and make cup tea than having to wait on stove we never used showers but where spotless clean and look forward to going back again soon highly recommend if ur just looking night away for peace and quiet or a wee break with the family suitable for both and the wee gypsy caravans and pods looked lovely also if u don't have a tent you def won't regret it. The weekday who checked us in was lovely and a young man we spoke to while packing up was possibly an owner of site made effort to come over and ask how our stay was we could have stayed on way longer only pitch up said no more spaces available to try and book extra couple nights but worth the money in my opinion

Disliked Nothing
If being picky our pitch was on slightly slope so we did roll to end of tent during night but this isn't a fault of site just unfortunate it was the only pitch we got allocated and rushing to get set up and not knowing size of tent etc we prob could have been better positioned ourself but this is nothing the company can change to be honest but hoping I can request in next booking not to have that pacific pitch number

I love how clean their facilities are and how spacious the camping…

Local attractions

A decent pair of walking shoes is a useful item for the packing list – they’ll come in handy for your walk to the Giant's Causeway, and for scampering over the rocks when you get there. It’s a 45-minute walk to the visitor centre and a further half-hour to the rocks (there’s parking and a shuttle bus too if legs aren’t up to such endeavours). Dunluce Castle, four miles away, is another fab spot for a walk, but for close-up sea views you might like to pick your way across the Carrick-A-Rede rope bridge (15 minutes’ drive), which takes you right out over the waves. Need a tot of whiskey to calm your nerves before/after? The Old Bushmills Distillery is a five-minute drive from site (or a 45-minute stagger). In the market for some beach action? Portrush, 15 minutes away, is the place for sandy stretches and the fine funfair rides at Barry’s Amusements. Bowling and a waterpark are also in town for keeping small sorts amused on damp days.
