Detailed Reviews
We camped here over the Aughust Bank holiday as a family. We really enjoyed the beautiful peaceful location. Our kids are a bit old for the play bus etc but they had a great time exploring the park on their bikes. We loved the forest walks. The site is dog friendly and most are well supervised and well behaved. Except for one grinning twit I met walkong around with an off lead Rhodeisian Ridgeback...
The cafe is nice and it was very busy during the day. But it is on the pricey side. The facilities are generally good and kept clean and I saw staff cleaning bathroom and kitchen a few times. But during the day when cafe going full tilt, the toilets tended to back up and get a bit grubby. The showers were closed due to covid concerns, which to us seemed to make very little sense.
We had a lovely tent pitch but Some of the pitches at the back were on a slope and some in the centre looked a bit cramped. There were plenty of free pitches even though the park was fully booked, so i guess they were running at a reduced occupancy due to Covid. I think if all the tent pitches were full, it would have been a bit hectic.
They need a bigger freezer. The small freezer space was so packed that even ice blocks in at the back were not frozen after 12 hours. I was really ticked to come in and find that someone had removed my ice packs to put theirs in. But I heard the girl in the cafe tell another camper that many of the items in the freezer were probably left behind by campers before so no wonder people felt entitled to chuck out other peoples stuff.
Noise was not a problem most nights, but the one night that our neighbours went off the rails, there was no one sround to shush them.
I would recommend this site for families and i would return.

It was our first time camping as a family (kids 4 & 5) and we were impressed by Curraghchase.
The location is beautiful. The woods are marvelous to wonder around and there are enough short walks with plenty to see.
The campsite itself is nicely laid out. Tent pitches are of varying sizes so choose wisely. The campsite wasn't full when we stayed so we choose to pitch over by the tress as it was less crowded and although our pitch was on a slight slope it wasn't so bad as to cause any issues.
The play bus and playground at the coffee shop was a real hit with our two, all the kids loved it and our two would never have left it if they'd had a choice. There was also another playground located down by the old house by the lake.
The coffee, ice cream & cakes from the shop are all excellent. A little on the pricey side but the quality really was worth it in my opinion. They don't sell much there but what they do they do well. Staff were also all really nice.
The facilities themselves are a little dated but the staff cleaned them regularly so hygiene certainly not an issue. Campers kitchen with kettle, microwave,fridges/freezers and toaster as well as washing up facilities meant we really didn't need either an electrical hook up or half of what we packed. Showers were closed due to covid which I know some took issue with however I understand it is so as to reduce the traffic and risk to all so I have no complaints here.
Some of our neighbours stayed up causing a wee bit of noise after the 11pm curfew however the vast majority had wound down long before then and the noise was nothing a pair of earplugs didn't sort.
All in all we had a lovely stay and will be returning next year.

This is a great site with a lot of lovely walks through woodlands and the grounds of the old house. Facilities were of a good standard [although a bit dated].
We had problems accessing the site as we had not had the passcode emailed to us meaning that we had to pay a €5 entry fee - non-refundable.
I'm requesting Wi-fi for overseas visitors like ourselves whose TVs work on a different frequency and don't have a good mobile phone reception. It would make all the difference.
The above said, we will definitely be back next year!

Nice location in a forest park with a lovely playground and coffee shop. This site is suitable for young kids. My 6 year old really enjoyed the bus converted into a slide and playarea.
The site is very large and spacious with enough room for our 5 man tent.
Unfortunately the shower facilities are not available this year due to covid which seems an odd decision as surely clean humans would be more hygienic and the water got cut off two out of the 3 days that we were there which resulted in the toilets also been out of action. As this was during the current heatwave this made things very uncomfortable. We were glad to be heading home on day three for a good wash and a cool down.
Otherwise the site is clean and well looked after.

I am writing my review from the perspective of our overall experience as a family with 4 children. I do not want to dwell to much on the facilities or cleanliness as i think people and some reviews can get bogged down on box ticking, and scoring reviews on whether the water was hot/cold or if the bin wasn't emptied.
As important as some of these things can be, i prefer to review from the view of how did my family of 2 adults and 4 children enjoy the campsite and the overall experience while staying there.
Curraghchase advertises itself as a family friendly camp site. From the minute we drove onto the site we could feel and see the buzz that was around. People coming and going of all ages.
The facilities are OK. There is a full campers kitchen, with all the basics you might need to cook up a meal. Depending on the time of day the toilets are sometimes not the cleanest.
But none of that matters here to the overall experience.
What they have is a campsite that is nicely balanced to provide for everyone.
There is a large area as you drive in that accommodates campervans and tents. it is open, clean and it looks attractive sitting on the edge of the forest background. People were out chatting, playing football and generally looked like they were enjoying themselves.
As you drive up the hill there is another large looped area which has loads of extras spaces for campervans. These spaces are all large, private and are wrapped around by the forest. The forest also provides a natural canopy from the elements. All these stands seem to have electricity too.
Back in main building their is a playground with double decker bus which has been converted into a Playbus with a slide coming out. the bus does look like it has seen better days but it still is a fantastic and unique facility to be able to offer to younger campers.
There is also a café which we found fantastic to sit and have our own time and still keep an eye on the kids.
Curraghchase campsite is also very lucky to be wrapped around by Curraghchase forest park. Miles of walks, the huge ruins palatial home, lakes, barbecues, playgrounds and even a man selling ice cream are just some of the things you will see and experience while in the forest and its trails.
Curraghchase might not be a 4 star campsite if its rated by box tickers looking for what they deem as perfection. But if there was stars awarded for overall experience and what it had to offer us id rate it very high.
So overall as a family we really enjoyed our time here. The staff were friendly, we felt welcome and felt safe. We even tried to rebook it for two weeks later but the days we wanted were booked out. But we look forward to going back.
Thanks.

Good campsite, nice forest setting and great pitches tho difficult to get an awning pegs into hard ground. Downside was the fact that due to Covid showers and toilets were closed. Plenty of hand sanitizer stations and we enjoyed the Coronavinus signs!! Good place for kids, very safe feeling.

Arrived here with my family of 4 , my two boys played for hours in the play ground very safe to let the kids play . facilities were great , free showers and the free tumble dryer , the girls at reception were very helpful . The walks and cycles were amazing such a tranquil place to stay . When I needed help to fix one of our bikes the owner Warren drove me to the nearest hardware store to get a part I needed . Thanks again for all your help Warren won't be forgotten . We will be back again

Secluded camping and caravan site set deep in a Coillte forest near the village of Kilcornan, Co. Limerick. Usual facilities plus a kitchen and kids playground- but there were closed during our visit. €30 pn including electricity. Many friendly campers- a knowledge of hurling is an advantage.

Yes they are allowed. There are signs around the campsite they ask you keep them on the lead but on the forest trails I saw many loose and noone made comment. There are alot of birds and wildlife in the forest so I choose to keep my Setter on her retractable lead mainly as she is mad for chasing the birds
"I hear booking in advance is essential during peak times as there are only 50 pitches..."Read full review
