Can anyone recommend any good camping sites in northern ireland.

Just spent the weekend in Clare Glen and the kids loved it so looking for somewhere new this weekend

Carnfunnock Country Park in Larne is excellent, although I believe that it gts booked up really far in advance.

Tullymore is my favourite in Newastle, try booking on a busy/good weather weekend

Delamont Country Park is the best I've ever been to (I've been to a lot - OH is camping mad!) The worst was Drum Manor in Cookstown, we had an awful night with youths drinking/taking drugs and playing loud music. They padlocked the outer gates shut so that when the other residents complained the police couldn't get in to sort it out!

Thanks for the replies

We stay at lakeside caravan park Hillsborough at the weekend, it was awful we were just stuck in a farmers field.

Won't be back there in a hurry

Depends what you want from camping, stuck in a farmers field would be lovely for me, peace and quiet to read! If you have kids and want something more lively Castlearchdale in Fermanagh should tick the boxes, bar, playground, cafe, shop, miles and miles of walking, pony trekking and boating. You won't be able to take your eyes of the kids for a second as it is so busy.

Drumaheglis is a nice spot by the river in Ballymoney, Six Mile Water in Antrim, and the forest parks, Tollymore, Castlewellan etc.

Do what we used to do, when out for the day call in at every site you see, take not and remember for next time.

Just back from Watertop Farm 5 miles outside Ballycastle, we were in the farmer's field but they also have hard sites if you want to be more civilised!
The kids had a ball, lots of animals, rowing boats, go-karts and if your feeling really brave take a white knuckle ride on the Paddi-wagon!
