Laurelbank Farm

2 units · Tents7 acres · Ulster NI, County Down
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.

Campsites near Newry guide

The main city between Dublin and Belfast, Newry is a commercial centre fit for stocking up on supplies. Travel out of the city to explore the scenic drives, walks, beaches, and forest parks around the Mourne Mountains and Mourne Coastal Route to the east and Slieve Gullion to the west. To the south, you’ll find Carlingford Lough and the medieval village of Carlingford, plus the Cooley Peninsula, set just over the border in the Republic of Ireland.

Where to Go

Carlingford Lough

Once you hit the shores of Carlingford Lough, you’ve arrived in an adventure-lover’s paradise with canoeing, kayaking, sailing, and boating on the lough, forest parks and woodland trails in the foothills of the Mourne Mountains, and climbing or hiking in the peaks of the mountains themselves.

Rostrevor

Base yourself around Rostrevor to enjoy views of the Mourne Mountains and down to the sheltered waters of Carlingford Lough. This area was said to have inspired the world of Narnia, created by author CS Lewis, who holidayed here as a child before going on to write The Chronicles of Narnia. Camping spots can be found near Rostrevor Forest or Kilbroney Park on parkland overlooking the lake.

Mourne Mountains

Enjoy scenic drives, hiking, or adrenaline-pumping sports like rock climbing, mountain biking, and abseiling in the Mourne Mountains, designated as the Mourne AONB. The mountains are full of walking trails, but many run through private land, so wild camping is not permitted in the mountains.

Slieve Gullion

The Ring of Gullion drive takes you to Slieve Gullion mountain and forest park, where you can walk the gardens and woodland trails, enjoy views across to the Mourne Mountains, or climb Slieve Gullion itself, home to heritage sites like passage graves and dolmens. Families love the forest park’s Adventure Playpark and Giant’s Lair amusement park.

When to Go

Campers can find the best weather between the summer months of May and September. Weekends, 12 July, and school holidays book up fast, so you’ll want to plan ahead. Forest parks are open year-round, but some campgrounds close during winter.

Know Before You Go

  • Be prepared for rain and wind in any season with navigation, communication, and safety equipment if hiking or climbing in the Mourne Mountains or boating on Carlingford Lough.
  • Biting midges can be present during some seasons. 
  • Some campgrounds and forest parks close to campers and touring vehicles during severe storms and snow.
