Detailed Reviews
We are used to staying at European campsites and generally are disappointed by some we then find in Ireland. This was not the case here in Clifden Camping. We were struck by the overall cleanliness of the site, it's decent facilities - for a site of its size - the location and the genuine welcome we experienced from Charlotte and colleagues. It is a good location for touring but one would need bikes or car. The walk to town is only about 30 minutes but main road sections can be hairy..... Only €10 for a taxi bavk is good though. Handy camp kitchen, well equipped, plenty of wash up space and shower area kept spotless. We would highly recommend this campsite for couples or families. Oh, and the Fadó pizza Hut is an added bonus - quality wood fired pizza at excellent price in just minutes 😁

Thank you for your lovely and kind review. We especially liked the comparison with European campsite and appreciate your correct advice regarding getting in and out of town. We are liaising with the authorities on this regard but not having much luck and your review will be most useful to help our case. And lastly, indeed we are privileged to have such good, friendly, hardworking staff.

This caravan park is spacious, clean, convenient and friendly. We really loved the area, its off the beaten track. 30 mins walk on Google, uphill on the way out of Clifden, some parts are on the road. Can be difficult to get taxi - I would recommend booking.
We got a very spacious caravan area with lots of room for our car and awning.
They have a pizza van outside the main area: the pizzas are amazing and the Gluten Free are just as good as regular.
This camp site has a cleaning area, showers: large individual stalls, toilets, a dinning area and a pool room.
The staff I met were friendly, fun and professional.
Thank you for an amazing holiday.

I absolutely loved my stay here, nestled in lovely countryside, yet extrememly close to clifden. Very comfortable and relaxing. staff are wonderfully friendly, and proffessional, creating a great vibe. Best shower i had in the whole month I spent travelling. campers were friendly too. The outdoor kitchen is big with gr8 facilities and the cosey living room beside is a welcome respite if theres any rain. A really lovely place, with beautiful flowers growing among the buildings. Would highly recommend. Its a unique place and location with the personal touch to detail and all the things that matter when camping and travelling.

We stayed for 2 nights at the end of June in our small campervan. I loved that we were given a set pitch which meant we could leave and return without worrying if we'd need to find another spot.
The site was clean and very well run. The showers were good and hot and toilets sparkling.
We especially loved the pizza cabin on site and the pizzas were delicious. I'd definately recommend the spinach and goats cheese one! It was a nice surprise and meant we didn't have to cook!!!
There was a games room and a good kitchen area for those who needed to cook. The washing up room also lots of space.
It felt very safe despite the current covid restrictions.
We will definately return another time.

Lovely campsite with great showers, facilities and really friendly and helpful staff. We will be going back due to site itself and location close to Clifden.
The reception has a little shop for all the things you manage to forget and fresh croissant every day (which we had on several occasions - bread is also amazing)
25 minute walk from Clifden which has great restaurants, museum and pubs. If you don't want to walk (as one part on the main road) you can order taxi's to and from the site.
Don't forget to use the visiting pizza cabin from Thursday to Sunday.

We spent a week in Clifden and chose this site as it's close enough to the town to get in and out without a car. The facilities are excellent, with even a little shop on site to get the basics if you've run out. Great pizzas are literally on the doorstep also, a bonus! The site is clean, fully equipped and well managed and you are directed to your pitch, you don't get to choose. It's not an issue though as they know their clients. We had a nice quiet pitch with loads of space for the awning. Speaking of clients, there were visitors from all over Europe there, a very broad mix that you don't get in many places. This reflects Clifden tbh. The road back into clifden is narrow and twisty for about 200mts, so if you're walking or on a bike, be well lit up! Overall, this is a site that is to be highly recommended! Just make sure you try as many of the food/entertainment and sightseeing options as you can, there's loads to do!

Excellent value. Friendly staff.
Great to be able to purchase croissant and Baguettes each morning!
The drier was a challenge as clothes were coming out damp....then, we read the instructions!! Empty the plastic drawer on the front left before and during use!!!

This was our first trip away in our newly converted campervan and, whilst I was happy, indeed excited, for, the, odd night of proper off grid, wild camping I also wanted the odd night of comfort in the form of warm showers and proper loos. Well, what a, find at this, site. Just lovely. Nice big pitches where you are not crowded in or overlooked. Plenty of greenery, trees and plants. Very peaceful with birdsong. Excellently maintained facilities. Good showers, basins and, loos. No extra charges for, showers. Free WiFi by checkin. Booked for, one night and stayed two. Really nice friendly site with lovely owners too.
