  • 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.

What customers say

Stunning views, right on the water! Pub's great with live music. Facilities are basic, a bit dated, and loos are limited. Still, most say the location makes it worthwhile.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked Not a lot. We didnt actually stay. It was raining so hard all of the pitches were flooding. Not their fault we know. Neat thing was the view.

Disliked If you like bare minimalist camping then this is the place for you. There is nothing at it and the very “rustic” facilities made it a no go for us. You could use the toilet in the Pub during opening hours.

Dayna T.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (family)

Liked Location and scenery and the pub on site are the best things about the campsite!

Disliked There was a distinct lack of instructions on how to check in and no information on where to set up and where the bathrooms are. (Turns out you go to the pub to check in and the bathrooms are in the dark pink building).

Bathrooms and showers are super basic and there are 2 of each for the whole campsite. Showers are €1 for about 2 mins of hot water.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (family)

Liked Location, setting is stunning

Disliked Toilet facilities or lack of facilities, 2 unisex cubicles in a small room with two unisex showers , dirty and had no toilet paper on two occasions , no sanitary bins in the toilets. Only two small sinks with taps that hardly worked in the same room so teeth brushing had a queue with an audience. Showers have no temperature control and they are roasting hot so have to dip in and out quickly to try not get burned while washing other than that there are no other facilities here nothing at all not even a campers kitchen so all washing has to be done in the same two tiny sinks as the toilets and showers, we left a day early

However with a campervan we had everything we required.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (two person)

Liked There aren’t enough words to describe this place. I wish i had been staying for longer to take in the views. The food in the pub was lovely, the people were a delight and the campsite was in the most perfect place.
The facilities were basic but did the job just fine. Tent pitches were easy to get to and plenty of options.
I cannot recommend this place enough, we will definitely be back very soon!!

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).
