4 nights at Runach Arainn Glamping

Runach Arainn is even more lovely in person than in the photos. Great location for a peaceful and relaxing stay on Arann. The yurts are comfortable, the kitchen/fire-pit etc are well-equipped and the orchard setting is beautiful. It's just a short walk to the beach or to the Lagg Inn for dinner. Highly recommend.

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

Campsites with fishing near Coleraine guide

Where to go

Portrush and Portstewart

Both 10 minutes’ drive from Coleraine, these are two typical seaside resort towns with a holiday feel in summer. Walk the golden stands, explore the dunes, or take to the waves. Both have plenty of camping options—check out area holiday parks for everything from tent pitches to geodomes.

Causeway Coastal Route

The Causeway Coastal Route is considered one of the world’s most scenic drives. Highlights along the way include the unique rock formations at the Giant’s Causeway, the cliff-top ruins of Dunluce Castle, and Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. The nine glens of Antrim start from Ballycastle, with forest parks and waterfalls, plus heritage villages like Cushendall and Cushendun on the coastal side.

Inishowen, Donegal

Take in the golden sands of the 10-kilometre-long Benone Strand, then drive to Magilligan Point to hop on a ferry across Lough Foyle to Greencastle and explore Donegal’s Inishowen Peninsula and its beaches. Head to Malin Head, Ireland’s most northerly point, for serene coastal walks.

Derry

The city of Derry (or Londonderry) is set on the River Foyle and its 1.6-km-long walls are some of the best preserved in Europe—take a tour to learn about the bastions, gateways, and ramparts. The impressive 1633 St. Columb’s Cathedral is full of stories, while the stained glass windows at the Guildhall capture some of the city’s history.

When to go

The best weather is usually from May to September, a time that draws crowds and tour busses to seaside towns, as well as to the Giant’s Causeway. Campsites can get busy, so advance planning is recommended. Weather can change at short notice so always be prepared for rain.

Know before you go

Many campsites are seasonal, so check dates in advance.
Campsites can get busy and many require advance bookings for weekends, bank holidays, and all of July and August.
Campsites can close and ferries can be cancelled in storms.
