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.

Farm campsites near Newcastle with a private bathroom guide

Overview

This seaside resort is a popular holiday spot thanks to its beach and promenade, as well as its backdrop of the scenic Slieve Donard and Mourne Mountains. There’s lots to do in this corner of County Down, with pony-trekking, fishing, and forest parks, but it’s also easy to get off the beaten track. Hikers or climbers will find opportunities for exploring in the Mourne Mountains AONB) with stunning coastal views from the top. The area has options for campers of all kinds, with a mix of coastal, mountain, and forest camping parks.

Where to go

Newcastle Town

Plenty of caravan and camping parks dot the coast, all with sweeping sea and mountain views. It’s easy to find one within walking distance of town, with many facing the beach. Some offer caravan rentals and motorhome facilities, plus outdoor play areas and laundry.

Mourne Mountains

To find yourself surrounded by nature, head to Tollymore Forest Park, set at the foot of the Mourne Mountains and just a 10-minute drive from Newcastle. With forest trails, a river walk, and views of the coast, you can hike right up into mountains such as Slieve Donard and Slieve Commedagh. The forest park is open year-round for camping, with grass for tents and tarmac for motorhomes or campervans. The campsite at Meelmore Lodge has direct access to the Mournes, while nearby Gorse Hill Farm features glamping pods.

Castlewellan

About 15 minutes’ drive from Newcastle, Castlewellan Forest Park is perfect for casual time in the outdoors thanks to walking and mountain biking trails, gardens and an arboretum, horseback riding, and lake fishing. The park has camping facilities for tents and vehicles on both grass and tarmac with toilets, showers, and electricity—just be sure to book in advance for a site in the park.

Coastal Route

Head a few miles south along the Mourne Coastal Route from Newcastle and you’ll come across a handful of private field tent campgrounds. Go further south toward Annalong and the fishing port of Kilkeel for excellent seafood, plus holiday parks with beach access and seafront pitches. If you’re exploring around Carlingford Lough, the best campgrounds are on Cranfield Beach just outside Kilkeel town.

When to go

July and August are high season and school holiday times, so you may need to book your campsite in advance for these months. Forest parks are open year-round, but some campgrounds close for winter. July 12 is a public holiday in Northern Ireland and the Newcastle Festival of Flight airshow is held annually in June, so expect these times to be busy.

Know before you go

  • Weather can be unpredictable, so be prepared for rain and cool temperatures in any season.
  • Biting midges can be a problem around Newcastle.
  • Wild camping is not permitted in this area. Some campgrounds and forest parks close to campers and touring vehicles during storms.
