Eco-camping and glamping in Co. Clare, Ireland

2. A nice discount on the camping fee for campers who arrive on bike .
3. A secure shed to store your bike , not that you would need it anyway
4 . Fully equipped campers kitchen so no need to carry cutlery pots / gas
Amazingly use of the gas cooker and showers is included in the camping fee which is great as the fashion in most irish campsites is a token purchasing system .

Very nice vibes in the campsite and good chats with other travellers in the kitchen ,looks like a great place to bring young kids . Since my last visit a cozy common room with armchairs has been added for chilling out and reading.

We stayed in our own tent (first time). Although you can’t drive your car up the your pitch, there are wheelbarrows / trolleys available to cart your stuff down. It allowed for a much better experience not having cars moving about and no doubt was great for parents of small kids.
Children really enjoying running about and there’s a big ‘dome’ play area they can go nuts in should it rain 🙂
The shower / toilet facilities were spotlessly clean.
It was fantastic to have sink / cooker kitchen facilities available in the covered area. They also let use use a communal fridges in the reception area which was a great help!
You can choose to either camp in the open area close to all the facilities or be more adventurous and have a ‘wilderness’ pitch, which is right in the woods nearby.
Trea does yoga classes some of the mornings which are worth checking out, even if you’re new to yoga.
There are bell tents available along with an eco tent, and those who stayed in them seemed very happy with their choice.

I never expected to have a place like this in Ireland, and was delighted to find it.
It really is a gateway to the beautiful scenery of the Loop Head Peninsula.
Although we used this as a ‘trial run’ before a longer stay in France, this surpassed all expectations and we can’t wait to return.

First thing I was welcomed by the owner who got me a discounted rate because I was on my bike, since Purecamping promote cycling (so if you are a cycle tourist, it’s place for you! 🙂 ) the place is great! enough room for tents and the ground is not rocky underneath so it’s easy to pitch a tent.
At the edge of the field there is a campfire, for everyone to get together and chat, man made sauna and in the middle of the field big dome for kids to play. at the back of the camping field is a small forest with labyrinth of trails 🙂 and you can put up tent there too.
It’s great place if you want to escape the city 🙂
(one thing is the mad donkeys somewhere just outside the side, which were braying all night, but it’s still better than to hear the traffic 🙂

Despite this there is a little kitchen (with a pizza oven!) that comes in handy when it is raining and you want to eat your meal in a dry spot. There is even a sauna but it is quite rustic and does not compare to what one usually thinks of when hearing the word “sauna.” However it is still a fun experience. It would have been nice if the sauna area was more private though as it is a bit weird standing around wrapped in a towel while everyone else is having dinner. Another small flaw was that the facilities (kitchen and bathrooms) weren’t as clean as on other campsites that we stayed at. All in all this campground is maybe a bit less suited for couples but is the perfect place for families with small children.
