  • Peaceful and well-equipped Antrim park on the shores of Lough Neagh
  • Half an hour's drive to Belfast; 40 minutes to The Dark Hedges
  • Secret beach on site, plus play area, woodlands and high-ropes course
Might the words ‘secret beach’ be enough to tempt you to this site? It’s quite likely – but that’s just one of the attractions that awaits at this fabulous Co. Antrim holiday park. Castlewood Holiday Park is on the banks of Lough Neagh, tucked away in a lovely woodland setting and, yes, with its own secret beach on the lakeshore. It’s termed ‘secret’ because you’ll need to follow a kilometre-long trail through the woods to get to the sandy beach, where you can paddle in the cool water or grab a deckchair or sun lounger and put your feet up while admiring the watery views. That’s likely to be a highlight, but there’s much more to explore at this family-friendly park, which also has a large play area, a teepee village serving up food and drinks, and a treetop high-ropes course for visiting daredevils (there’s an extra charge for this, but site guests benefit from a discount). All sounds very peaceful, right? And indeed it is – but it’s also very handily located just on the edge of Antrim town, so it’s as easy to get to a supermarket, coffee shop or railway station as it is to find a waterside walk, a golf course or a castle or garden to visit. Getting out to explore the rest of Northern Ireland should be simple, too – Belfast is half an hour’s drive away, and places like Giant’s Causeway and The Dark Hedges are within an hour’s journey.

Camping pod

Liked Facilities, cleanliness and location are excellent. Beach is fantastic and walks are great. Tree walk is excellent.

Disliked Need to inform customers before paying that hot tub can only be used if staying more than one night. Need a pound for showers which is inconvenient.
