Laurelbank Farm

2 units · Tents7 acres · County Down, Ulster NI
Laurelbank Farm is a 7-acre organic smallholding in Co. Down. Our vision is to reconnect people to the land, and to nourish and empower people through farming and feasting. Our mission is to create an inspiring and thriving small-scale regenerative, organic farm. We commit: To be responsible and responsive to the needs of people. To keep our farm at a human scale and accessible to people. To foster community connections through education, knowledge, and sharing experiences together. We run a Community Supported Agriculture Scheme called Farm and Feast and periodically teach growing, brewing and cooking workshops. Our home is an early 19th Century farmhouse just outside Saintfield in County Down. We grow lots of vegetables, herbs, fruit and edible flowers in our kitchen garden, lower field beds and in our new polytunnel. We have a small bantam chicken called Georgia who you will come across wandering around the gardens! On arrival feel free to pitch your tent on the pitch you have booked. (There’s no formal checking in process.) Pitch one and two are both signposted, as are the toilets. You can light a fire within the fire pit at your camp site. The closest places to buy firewood are the garage at The Temple roundabout or Vivo in Saintfield. When you are settled, wander around the garden and farm to see what is growing. Take a walk to our willow patch, or have a peek inside the polytunnel. We are a working farm so sometimes not all areas will be available, but we are happy for you to explore the areas not in use. Two mornings per week we run volunteering sessions. You are welcome to join us in harvesting vegetables, sowing seeds, weeding and whatever other activities we have planned. Just book your spot via our website – theedibleflower.com - there’s always a tasty bite to eat after the work is done! Picnic tables are available in the courtyard area, which you can use. There is also an outside hot and cold tap with a small sink. We have two newly renovated toilets just off the main courtyard, one is wheelchair accessible. We do not have a shower block, but we do a solar shower which you are welcome to use - (a bag of water that heats up in the sun, and you then hook up on a tree). This is located in the Cow Byre, in the grey locker, along with a few other supplies you may borrow - boardgames / books etc. The Cow Byre is also home to our Farm Shop. Depending on the time of year, it is stocked with seasonal vegetables, jams and preserves and our cookbook! I may not be around when you arrive, but hopefully I’ll see you at some point during your stay - I’m often knee-deep in vegetables somewhere! Please drop me a message via Hipcamp messenger should you have any queries. I hope to see you soon! Jo Where we are: We are located only twenty-five minutes drive to Belfast (10 miles) and thirty minutes to Newcastle (15 miles) and the Mourne Mountains. If you are a Game of Thrones fan it is thirty minutes drive (13 miles) to Castle Ward (the filming location for Winterfell). We are also close to a number of wedding venues, including Larchfield Estate, The Carriage Rooms at Montalto and Finnebrogue Woods.

Pengraig Campsite

1 unit · Motorhome, Tent1 acre · Wales
After a secluded stay on Anglesey? Take a peek at peaceful Pengraig Campsite. Up at the isle’s most north-western point near Church Bay, it’s about as far as you can get from the mainland without actually ditching into the sea. With that far-flung setting comes a stunning sea view – one that can be gazed at for many hours from the comfort of your pitch (a recommended activity around sunset, with drink in one hand and a barbecue stoking implement in the other). See the sea from a different angle on the nearby Anglesey Coast Path or while strolling on the sands of one of the local beaches. The waves aren’t the only gazing material around here – turn your back on the coast for scenic views of Mynydd Y Garn, or bring binoculars for a bit of birdwatching. Once darkness falls, direct your gaze upwards; the lack of light pollution means the stars can often put on a glittering show here. This isn’t a place for folks seeking heaps of facilities and entertainment; the emphasis is very much on peace and nature. Low-key amenities include a drinking water supply, a chemical disposal point and a toilet block (with basins and proper flushing loos). If you want to venture out in search of eats, pub meals and seafood suppers are five minutes’ drive away in Church Bay, and a little supermarket 15 minutes away in Cemaes.

Campsites near Kilkeel guide

Overview

The fishing town of Kilkeel is right at the corner of County Down, at the foot of the Mourne Mountains and along the scenic Mourne Coastal Route. This is the place to tuck into fresh seafood or take to the waters on a boat charter. The town is also within easy reach of the Mourne Mountains for hillwalking or scenic drives—try the Whitewater Scenic Loop, which starts in town, or head to the mouth of Carlingford Lough, the sea inlet that borders the Republic of Ireland.

Where to go

Cranfield Point

Head south of town to Cranfield Point for some of the area’s most scenic camping and sunsets. This flat, grassy headland set along the long blue-flag Cranfield Beach and at the mouth of the sea inlet at Carlingford has lots of options for campers. Various camping options offer all-weather pitches, campervan spots, and amenities such as laundry facilities, playgrounds, and direct beach access.

Annalong

Drive north along the Mourne Coastal Route and you’ll come to the fishing village of Annalong, where you can find full-service touring pitches with sea views. Other spots in the area offer glamping pods and canvas tents. 

Carlingford Lough

There’s plenty to do around this sea inlet, with sailing cruises, canoeing, and kayaking on the water, plus mountain biking, hillwalking, climbing, and dedicated adventure centres like East Coast Adventure. Kilbroney Forest Park is set on an estate overlooking the lough.

When to go

The best weather for camping is between May and September, with the highest temperatures usually in July and August. Summer also sees the biggest crowds, so it’s best to book summer holidays in advance. Some campgrounds close during winter.

Know before you go

  • Campers should be prepared for weather changes at any time, with rain showers, mist, or cooler temperatures possible in any season. Have proper navigation and safety equipment when hiking in the Mourne Mountains.
  • Biting midges can be present during some seasons.
  • Wild camping is not permitted, and some campgrounds and forest parks close to campers and touring vehicles during severe weather.
