We arrived 4 days before the June Holiday weekend. The site was very quiet. We were placed on a hard standing pitch near to the entrance of the park. We thought this might be an issue given the number of trees and the fact that we were very close to the entrance. There was no problem. We welcomed th3 shade from the trees and there was little traffic on the road to the sit. You can however hear the rumble of traffic on the N22 and there are a few trains that pass by on the track adjacent to the site. We were not disturbed by train or car.
The first sanitary block is very clean but like elsewhere in Ireland you have to pay fir a shower but it last 10 mins here.
Reception are helpful and have lots of local information.
The Thursday before the holiday weekend the site began to fill and fill. It seems to be able to accommodate countless caravans, tents and campers. It extends over four fields and is huge but it has a good atmosphere and there is no noise after 10.30 and it’s a vey laid back friendly vibe.
The walk into Killarney is 1.5 miles an takes about half an hour downhill. Killarney is very lively with countless bars and restaurants. Live music features in many venues and it’s worth making a night of it and catching a taxi back.
The Killarney national park is a short drive away and has many walks from short to 7 miles around the lake. The views are stunning.
The June holiday weekend includes a Bike Fest. If you’re into Harley Davidsons its a must see. Even if you’re not it still makes an interesting visit. But beware the town is absolutely heaving which leads to gridlock but a great atmosphere.
Very happy to recommend this huge but peaceful site which is a great base to tour from.
