  • Touring pitches behind a family-friendly Co Kerry pub on the N22
  • A 10-minute drive to Killarney; 15 minutes to Gap of Dunloe
  • Pub menu of local produce for eating in or takeaway
Parking up behind a pub for a night or few is a fine choice for touring guests – gone are the days of discussing whose turn it is to drive to dinner, because you’ll simply be able to stroll from your van to the pub and home again with little fuss. That’s part of the attraction at The Kerry Way, a family-friendly pub with touring pitches in its grounds. Settle in here and you’ll be able to spend your days exploring Killarney and the Co Kerry scenery before heading back for a comfy evening in the pub with no need to factor in the drive home. There are plenty of drinks on offer at the fully licensed bar, for consumption inside or out on the open-air tables if it’s a fine day. Meals are on the menu too, whether you’re in the mood for a light snack or a belly-filling full meal. It’s all made from fresh local produce, and several options can be packed up for a takeaway if you fancy cosying up in your van for the evening. Guests have access to pub toilets but please note there are no separate facilities in the accommodation area. You’ll be able to use the wifi connection and charging facilities though, and you’re welcome to bring dogs along for your stay here. This is a handy location for getting out and about into the local area – the pub is just off the N22 about 10 minutes’ drive from Killarney, with plenty of options around for hiking, mountain biking, horse riding, kayaking and other outdoorsy pursuits.

Great stopover, friendly staff, and excellent pub food. Limited facilities (pub toilets only, no showers) and some road noise, but good value and recommended for short stays.

Liked Inexpensive

Disliked This is not a camp site, it is a pub car park with water and hook up only. It only has pub toilets which are only available during pub hours. There were no other facilities - nowhere for rubbish, nowhere for waste water, no washing up facilities. No awning or outdoor cooking permitted.
Additionally it is located directly on the busy N22 with considerable traffic noise.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Excellent site, was clean and tidy. Excellent friendly staff.

Liked Friendly staff and food was really good. I had a really tasty seafood pie and my husband went for the steak sandwich which he said was delicious.

Disliked Only thing was the noise from the traffic. It is right beside a very busy road .

Local attractions

A big draw here is the site’s proximity to Killarney National Park. There are lots of great walks around here, including woodland routes and waterfall walks, plus mountain clambers for the more adventurous visitor. Killarney Kayaking (15 minutes’ drive) can sort you with days of paddling across lakes and rivers, or you can take a more sedate trip with Gap of Dunloe Traditional Boat Tours (15 minutes). The area is also dotted with historical buildings to visit – Muckross House (15 minutes) is probably one of the best, with a traditional schoolhouse, craft centre and petting farm as well as the Victorian mansion and its lovely gardens. Full of friendly animals, Kennedys Pet Farm (two minutes) is a handy close-by outing for young kids; if you’re in more of a grown-up party you may prefer some time at the Irish Whiskey Experience (15 minutes). For evening entertainment, there’s usually live music going on in at least one of the pubs in Killarney (10 minutes); you may also find major events happening at the Gleneagle Arena (INEC) (10 minutes).
