Gurteen Bay Caravan & Camping Park we are located in one of Ireland's most picturesque and serene spots. A stones throw from the pristine white sand of Gurteen Bay, just meters from the rolling waves casting off crystal clear turquise tones, and with a backdrop of Errisbeg Mountain ever present and changing its complexion with different swings in the Irish weather, Gurteen Bay Caravan Park offers a stunning place to have a holiday. Gurteen Bay is located on a unique prongliked inlet with two bays at the crest. Dogs bay is just 2 minutes walk and there are numerous secluded bays on the peninsula. The area is also inhabited by several wildlife species and the tip offers both a fabulous sunset and breathtaking views of Inishlacken Island and the Atlantic Ocean. A look the other way will present the view of the ominous 12 Bens. Gurteen Bay has long been established as the most desirable place in Connemara to go camping. The camping ground is set between Dogs Bay and Gurteen bay. The camping ground at Gurteen Bay is exceptionally well provided for with all the modern amenities that available to the residents of the Caravan Park.

Local attractions

Roundstone Village has deservably earned a reputation for itself as the most desirable place to holiday in the West of Ireland. Located on the edge of the sea and overlooking the 12 Bens, it still retains its traditional irish charm and you will still see fishermen in Galway Hookers whilst dining in any one of a handful of reputable restaurants. Beach & Water activities Gurteen Bay which stretches 2km offers you the chance to get an isolated part of the beach and the opportunity to do as you wish. You could walk, swim, picnic, fish, cycle, watch the wildlife, and admire the sunset and sunrise. Hill Walking Although there are several walks in the area within easy distance we would recommend that a walk up Errisbeg Mountain should be where you start. This three hour walk gives you the opportunity to view the Gurteen Bays unique pronglike beach, the 12 Bens, and to the North the Roundstone Bogs. Pony Trekking at The Point Pony Trekking & Horse Riding Centre in Ballyconneely.
