Powered grass and gravel tent or trailer tent site
Liked: The owner is very helpful & welcoming. We had a great weekend with fantastic views over Carlingford. I used google maps to find the location but some sign would be good at the entrance. There is no WiFi (good, digital detox) but I was able to get a phone/data signal. We loved our time there! Thanks 🤓
Disliked: The shower and toilet are basic/rustic. I chatted with the owner and is planning lots of upgrades which will take time. Great place Great location Great owner Can’t wait to go back!!

Unpowered grass and gravel tent or trailer tent site
Liked: Quiet site; no big electric lights to block starlight; very friendly and helpful owner/host; beautiful views, close to conveniences.
Disliked: Could do with better signposting from the surrounding roads, as even Google maps can't seem to find it. Having said that, the owner did send explicit directions by text ahead of time. A more accessible shower would be nice for those staying longer than one night.

Liked: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this site and will definitely be back. It has beautiful views of the beach and surrounding area. Our hosts were so helpful in all areas of our stay from options of where to pitch the tent (There was an option of a lower more sheltered site or the main site itself which is more elevated, we chose the main site and had no issues) places to visit around the area and places to eat. Very friendly and down to earth and nothing was too much trouble. Beautiful area and peaceful and quiet. Facilities are clean.
