Weekend Trip to Oystercatcher Caravan

Super helpful host. Good location, a very quiet part of Scotland. Accommodation was very fairly priced and well cared for.

Happy farmer sitting in a truck in a grassy field

Where to go

Warrenpoint and Carlingford Lough

There’s plenty to do around here, with easy access to the waters of Carlingford Lough, Rostrevor Forest, and the hiking and biking mountain trails of the Mourne Mountains. Warrenpoint is a good place to stock up on goods or grab food at a pub.

Rostrevor

Just a five-minute drive along the lough is the scenic village of Rostrevor. Nature lovers should check out Rostrevor Forest and Rostrevor Mountain biking trails on Slieve Martin for views over the Lough. For a dose of adrenaline, check out the climbing tower, zipline, and archery at Eastcoast Adventures.

Kilbroney Park

Kilbroney Park has 97 acres of parkland overlooking the lake, with fully serviced touring bays and grass tent spaces. A tree trail runs through the woodland, and the park also connects with the long-distance Mourne Way walking trail. You can climb from here to a huge stone called Cloughmore, or explore the ancient forest at Rostrevor Oak wood.

Mourne Coastal Route

This scenic drive starts from here and sweeps around Carlingford Lough to the sea coast. Stop off at Cranfield Point for a selection of serviced campgrounds set on Cranfield Beach and continue along to the charming fishing village of Annalong or to stroll the promenade at Newcastle.

When to go

July and August are the warmest and busiest times around Warrenpoint, so advance bookings are recommended during these months and around bank holidays. Forest parks are open year-round, but some campgrounds close during winter.

Know before you go

Weather can be unpredictable, so always be prepared for rain, mist, wind, or cooler temperatures in any season. Hikers should bring full safety equipment in the Mourne Mountains.
Biting midges can be present during some seasons.
Wild camping is not permitted. Some campgrounds and forest parks close to campers and touring vehicles during severe storms and snow.
