  • Family-run Cloghane pub campsite on the Wild Atlantic Way
  • Conor Pass, Fermoyle Strand and Brandon Point all 10 minutes’ drive
  • Seafront pitches with stunning views of Brandon Bay and Mount Brandon
Appreciate spectacular views? Well… O’Connors Campsite has them in spades. This peaceful County Kerry stopover on the Dingle Peninsula has a spacious camping field where you can pick your own pitches overlooking Brandon Bay on the long-distance Wild Atlantic Way. Stay a while on this quiet, family-run campsite between the sea and the mountains of West Kerry, and you’ll surely fall in love with the stunning outlook to Mount Brandon and surrounding peaks. There are also numerous gorgeous beaches within 10 minutes’ drive, with Dingle and Castlegregory both about 15 minutes away. Any kids travelling with you will probably also fall in love with the small farm animals on site too. If you’re on for some good wholesome Irish craic during your stay, all you need to do is hotfoot it into O’Connors pub adjacent to the site, where you’ll receive a warm welcome, home-cooked pizzas and curries, and a lively line in music from local musicians. When you’re not feeling quite so sociable, the pub also does takeaways for you to carry back to your pitch, or you can spark up the barbecue – perhaps just in time to witness a stunning sunset on a clear day. If you are going down the self-catering route, there’s a convenience store selling essentials, pastries and pasties five minutes’ stroll away around the bay.

Samantha D. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Unpowered grass tent site (two person)

Liked The views are just stunning. Everywhere you look is so beautiful. The price is also stunning, especially in these times where you need a small mortgage to go on holiday. Yes the facilities are dated but that’s how they can keep prices down. The staff are so lovely.

Disliked The fact we didn’t get to sample the live music in the pub due to the weather taking a turn for the worst we only stayed for 2 days instead of 5.

Dont go near the place. We were misled by false reviews.

Powered grass and gravel caravan site

Liked Lovely campsite in a lovely location overlooking a tidal inlet and Mt. Brandon in the background. Beautiful spot.

There is a nice pub on site. There is power and water available close to each pitch.

The pitches are level so no need to be leveling up the camper.

There is also plenty of room for an awning.

Disliked Facilities are adequate but could do with some updating

Liked The views were great. The area is beautiful and there’s green space to kick a football if you want to.
The pub was right beside the camp site to get a drink if you wanted. Access to power and water was easy.

Disliked Showers were pay to use.
There is nowhere to clean any cooking utensils.

Unpowered grass tent site (family)

Liked The area to pitch was clean. Nice & spacious, even though there were a good few tents pitched, we still had a lot of room. We were lucky enough to pitch right up at the water so, we were delighted to do some fishing.

Disliked Bathrooms are quite far (especially if it’s an emergency)

Local attractions

If you’re planning on attending the Féile Lughnasa festival (the last full weekend of July), book your stopover at O’Connors Campsite well in advance to enjoy several days and nights of music and singing, sand-sculpture competitions, pet shows, a vintage-car exhibition and a pilgrimage up Mount Brandon (about an hour’s walk). There are many other walks in the locality, ranging from short strolls around Brandon Bay to harder slogs up to Arraglen Ogham Stone (two and a half hours), where there’s also a memorial to a crashed military plane as well as far-reaching views over moorland hills to the Atlantic Ocean. Otherwise, try sections of the Dingle Way, a walking trail that winds around the whole peninsula. Driving the rugged coastal Wild Atlantic Way? West Kerry sights on your itinerary might include the narrow, twisting drive through Conor Pass, dotted with lakes and waterfalls, the soft sandy beach at Fermoyle Strand (just the spot for family picnics) and the viewing deck with ocean vistas at Brandon Point (all 10 minutes).
