Are you already exploring or soon to arrive in Waterford? Take a look at Crotty’s Lake Camping – a handsome spot indeed, and one that will surely act as an excellent base for exploring Copper Coast beaches, cycling through the countryside and hiking green slopes overlooking lakes. Secure and private, Crotty’s Lake Camping has direct access to Crotty’s Lake, a spectacular lake surrounded by tall hills. The owner is on hand to meet guests and answer any questions you may have, or give advice on local things to do. And the surrounding area certainly has an impressive line-up of attractions. Within 15 minutes’ drive of the site is the Waterford Greenway, a 46-kilometre cycling trail on a former railway line, passing over three viaducts and the river Suir before ending at the Copper Coast. The end point for the Waterford Greenway is the harbour town of Dungarvan, otherwise 25 minutes’ drive away from the site. Several Copper Coast beaches are also within half an hour’s drive of the site. Facilities on site are well maintained – the communal area includes a toilet, cooking facilities and a TV. The nearest shop is 10 minutes’ drive away if you need to source ingredients for your meals.
