    What our travellers are saying...

    The owner was very friendly and told us lots about the local history. All buildings and facilities are top notch, brand new and very well looked after. I would highly recommend a stay in the house or glamping options. Keep an eye out for all of the very nice woodcraft items. The seating area with BBQ is stunning. Also on offer were wood turning workshop's. Very authentic campsite to the area, well worth a visit!

    Andre

    We stayed at here for two nights and didn’t want to leave. It’s the best campsite I have ever stayed at. Beautiful and modern kitchen with lots of dinning space. Large, modern showers all super clean and extremely well maintained. Toilets right beside the tent section of the campsite with hot running water. Beautiful scenery and countryside. Great play park for kids. The outdoor spaces are very well kept and looked after. Highly recommended!

    This place is beautiful beyond belief! An oasis of natural relaxation in the heart of the lovely Ring of Gullion!! Our third time staying here and it gets better every time...our kids are already lobbying us to book the next trip :) We spent an eggsellent Easter weekend in the cottage, with our kids not wanting to leave the site there was so much for them to enjoy, from the play park to feeding the donkeys and goat to riding the ‘drumlin expre
