Crotty's Lake Camping

A aimé I liked the quirkiness of this site and the views (which I walked to) and the fact it’s in a forest. It was also very quiet - except for the sound of rain and wind!
Visited in mid September so it was not at all busy with not many other visitors.
Can’t fault the location in the mountains - beautiful.
The chap on duty (Joe?) could not have been more helpful.

N'a pas aimé I really wanted to love this place but the weather unfortunately didn’t help and I felt lucky to find a gravelly pitch (grass with gravel) that wasn’t too wonky, I don’t think there are many choices in wet weather though so I’m glad it wasn’t busy.
There isn’t a good hose system for campervans who need that but luckily I carry lots of attachments and we sorted it out. Maybe a proper outside tap would be useful?!
A clearer sign at the crossroads on the way up where the big carpark is would also help!

A aimé Great rural site. On the base of the hill, between pinetrees and wildlife. We had lots of spots to choose from, but because of the weight and size of the campervan we decided to not go up behind the hut. We were welcomed very warmly and got instructions to how to walk up to the lake best. We had a great, very peaceful stay and we can recommend this for everyone who loves staying in pure nature.

A aimé The wildness of the site.
That it can hardly be called a 'site'...more a mountainside pitch with basic facilities should you want them down the hill.
The walk to the lake.
The people, both staff and campers.
The whole experience - just go there :)

N'a pas aimé Zilch (though see below, the loo and kitchen area could do with a good clean... even if you're living in the wilds clean facilities feel good!)

A aimé A fantastic and very affordable campsite. Excellent location, beautiful views, and clean air. We loved Crotty Lake, which is also steeped in history. Bernard, Joe, and their family were very friendly and welcoming. There were cooking facilities and a place to get coffee and tea. The bathrooms were clean, and I was surprised to find feminine hygiene products; not even the most expensive 5-star hotels in the world have them. Campfires are not allowed; I agree this is for safety and to protect nature and the environment. But the use of smokeless fuels, such as campfires, is permitted. We had a great time and will definitely return. I would recommend it to my friends. Thanks for everything, Bernard.

A aimé Very unique campsite, lots of different beautiful and varied spaces to suit your needs. Ideal for hiking the Comeraghs but the awesome hospitality stood out. Lots of tips for the locality, and a fire pit with smokeless fuel (purchased on site). We had a lovely relaxed two nights camping.
