  • Small and peaceful family-run site on Kerry's Beara peninsula
  • Derreen Gardens, Lake Glenmore and Healy Pass within 10 minutes' drive
  • On-site kitchen with oven and fridge; a 10-minute drive from the pub
It's worth going way out west for this gem of the Emerald Isle. And in fact you can’t actually go much further west: Creveen Lodge Caravan and Camping Park is on the Beara peninsula, a 48-kilometre-long jetty of Kerry (and a bit of Cork) pointing into the Atlantic: next stop, Canada. Wild this part of Ireland may be (it’s the bottom end of the 2500-kilometre Wild Atlantic Way route), but the family team at Creveen Lodge offers a civilised base for your scenic stays. Amenities include a communal kitchen, with hob, oven, fridge freezer and microwave; you can cosy up there watching TV by the fire too when the weather suggests it. There’s a café (with bike hire, what a brill combo…) five minutes’ drive away in Lauragh; it’s 10 minutes to the pubs in Bunaw and half an hour to supermarkets in the Beara’s unofficial capital of Castletownbere. For a quick intro to the area, stop for a cuppa in seaside Lauragh, hire a bike and pedal off round the coast to Derreen Gardens, where paths lead through 60 acres of gardens full of subtropical plants and down towards the sea with grand views of the Caha mountains. If you head the other way out of Lauragh, it’s a 20-minute ride to the 3,000-year-old Cashelkeelty Stone Circle (15 minutes by car from the site).

Remote spot with gorgeous mountain/valley views. Owners are super friendly, facilities spotless, communal kitchen well-kitted. Some amenities a bit old, but most guests love it, returning yearly. Perfect for peace-seekers. Narrow road access.

Electric optional grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Ens ha agradat la tranquil·litat de l’espai i les vistes des de la parcel·la. Els propietaris també són gent molt amable i tenen cura permanent de les instal·lacions.

Disliked L’espai comú era una mica petit i només hi havia una dutxa per homes/dones.

Rhian G.

Electric optional grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Nice, uncrowded, level pitches with good views. A nice variety of pitch types for all types of camper. We had a warm welcome on arrival with a good rundown of the facilitites. The owner offered to lend us a reserved sign in case we were going out again in our campervan. The camp kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pans, plates, microwave, kettles and cookers - al available to use as needed. The washing up area was clean and well stocked. Toilets and showers were clean and easily accessibile. Bins for rubbish and recycling were easily accessible. There's a pub about a mile down the road but unfortunately it was closed whilst we were there.

Electric optional grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Big site for tents. Very quiet. Remote area. Just beside amazing Healy Pass. Everyone super friendly. Amazing hosts (both older couple). Very friendly, with good ideas on how to make kids busy, and had a solution to every problem we had.

Disliked Facilities could do with a little modernisation. There was large amount of ticks in taller grass and under leaf trees close to facilities (not fun when you have active kids).

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review and happy you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to see ye again. When you are out close to nature and on grass it is not like being in a five star hotel on thick carpet.

Nice camping, great place!…

Local attractions

Beara remains a bit of a secret, a frontier land of deserted beaches, colourful fishing villages and ancient stone circles underneath the hefty Caha mountains. Get stuck in with a 10-minute drive to Glenmore Lake, a fine fishing spot surrounded by walking trails, where you’ll only be disturbed by the odd wild deer. To see the whole peninsula and beyond, drive past the lake to Healy Pass; stop at the 330-metre summit to see one of the finest views in the west stretching to the high mountain ranges of Co Kerry. To feel you’ve earned the view rather than just driven to it, walking paths up Mount Knockatee start 20 minutes from the site. If all that sea’s got your maritime spirits a-rising, try diving in Lauragh and kayaking and sea safaris to the seal colonies from Kenmare, half an hour away. If you’re more into walking by the waters, join the 200-kilometre Beara Way in Lauragh, a clearly signed and mostly coastal trail beginning and ending in the Gulf Stream-warmed village of Glengarriff (40 minutes). For those wanting to wander west until the land’s run out, there’s a treat at the tip of the Beara: an hour’s drive to Ballaghboy ends up by a cable car. Take the giddying 10-minute trip across open ocean to Dursey Island for the wildest and westest walking you can do.
