Detailed Reviews
Booked in for 2 nights extended it to 3 and returned for 2 more the following weekend.
Location is fabulous, five minute walk from swimming in Kenmare bay, 3 kms for lake swimming with beautiful water from the surrounding hills. Many of the pitches on the site are hidden from each other by trees and shrubbery giving nice privacy. Toilets and showers are clean and great water pressure. We didnt use them but there are a couple of covered buildings with firepits and lots of seating for a crowd in the rain. My abiding memory of the place was it is so peaceful. Thanks to the owners for a lovely welcoming stay and we will be back again.

We camped here for 3 nights and loved it, the location is fantastic- just outside Kenmare so you can stock up on bbq items and food and its just at the tip of the beautiful ring of Beara.
The Dutch couple running the place are lovely and they've done a pretty good job of giving you that camping freedom by allowing camp fires and providing electricity close to your tent.
The facilities are basic but were all we needed for our 3 nights, will definitely be back!

This campsite was exactly what I was looking for. The layout of the site itself is cleverly done so that you have privacy for your cabins and mobile homes and the open pitch sites are open with well kept grounds and communely facilities that are clean and well maintained.
The owner's Jash and Albert are very friendly and were very informative with what to do in the surrounding area's.
This part of the country is a must see for everybody who wants an escape and seeking adventures. The driving scenic routes are out of this world with many walking trails and more than enough breathtaking photos to take of the beautiful countryside.
This was my girlfriends first camping experience and she was more than impressed. She never realised how camping can be fun and is very economical.
I highly recommend Beara camping and Im really looking forward to our return visit.

Not great, one toilet with a missing seat in the back camping site, the caravans on the way down to the site on the back look so dated, probably the ones they offer to the poor soles for free labor, also signs of pesticide's being used to control the weeds around the caravans. An outside sink to wash dishes, the onsite facilities were not great. Better off saving your 30 euro and camping in the wild (with permission from landowner when possible) The pub is not safe to walk too, and is for sale for a long time looking at the signs, the atmosphere is dead and is NOT cosy, Helen's pub / cafe is great which is about 17 mins drive and does good food. The walking distance beach is nice but is a stone beach. We had a look at the cabins and they look awful, dirty and glad we did not book one of them. There was no indoor area to cook, store food on site. Better off going to Cahersiveen in Mannix point, they have live music, indoor dinning area and fridges. As for the price 18 euro for tent with one person, 6 euro for extra person, 3.50 per child over 10 and 2.50 for extra car....we only had one car....no extra car but was charged all the same. maybe they mean 2.50 per car....not extra car as in two cars !! Expensive for what it is. We had the option to go home but did not want to drive anymore on the day, sorry we didn't. As for reading the previous reviews about the owner shouting and scaring parents and young children is inexcusable when they did not like the cabin, we wont be back.

While the campground is very good, it was also a bit poorly maintained and the showers were tepid. The woman at reception was very rude, and charged us (2 people) as if we were separate guests. We arrived with a small campervan (2 people in a campervan was listed as €24), but because we pitched a small tent next to the van for one if us to sleep in, she charged us an extra €12 for the tent! When I questioned this, she became quite obnoxious. Because we had driven all day to get there, we went ahead and paid, but felt taken advantage of.

We recently stayed at this camping site and were thoroughly impressed. The host "Jash and Ablert" gave us a warm and friendly welcome, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The facilities were clean, and well-maintained, providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Additionally, the campsite's location is ideal, with a short driving distance to the nearby town, making it convenient for quick trips for supplies or exploring local attractions. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great and safe camping experience!

Just spent 3 nights at Beara Camping , 8 of us in 2 cabins. Our group of 2 brothers, 1 nephew , 4 sons and 1 best friend have camped and fished all over Ireland and this is by far the best place we have stayed, we are normally " wild camping". I stayed here last year in a tent but recce'd the cabins and a great move for our group. The owners are great, one of our group that had booked a cabin for sole use, couldn't travel and cancelled at the last minute, the owners were far more concerned about his health and wouldn't hear of taking a cent for the late cancellation. Hot showers, plenty of space . Stay here, its beautiful .

The place is super clean, fields are well kept, hot showers free, facilities are clean and spacious. The staff is super friendly and accommodating (I needed to store something securely and they did). Plenty if fridges in each field for storing food and the WIFI signal is strong all around.
I travelled solo in Sept, which end of season really, but my experience was super good, probably the best camp site I have ever stayed.
The location is near a bronze age site, a beach and a nature park.
About 12k from Kenmare, just a bit far for casual travel to town, but this suited me absolutely fine.
I recommend this camp site.

It's advertised as simple and it is indeed a simple campsite.
I don't mind simple but everything is dated, the toilets and showers were not clean enough and the owners were gruff. I'd say it was fine in the 80s and 90s.
We had booked in a camper van with space for an awning and were led to a spot with no grass section and were told there were no spaces with grass sections to put up awnings and others had put up awnings on gravel. We then walked to the toilets and there was a space there for a camper with a grass section for an awning so we moved to it anyway.
Despite all the other campsites nearby being full this one was perhaps 20% occupied which tells its own story. It's a beautiful area and could be a great simple campsite with a little investment. I think it's time for the current owners to sell up and retire and let someone with some enthusiasm and some money to invest it to bring it back up to scratch.

We stayed here for two nights and having read reviews and seen the website we knew it was a simple campsite so we had no high expectations of extra amenities. It was indeed a simple campsite but I haven't a bad word to say about it.
The area it is set in is absolutely stunning and you are not far from Kenmare and it's a lovely drive to Glengarriff too. Part of the road to Beara camping is twisty, a bit rough and narrow, especially with as wide a caravan as we were towing. The entrance is well sign posted and easy to access.
It is run by a welcoming Dutch couple and the natural setting is ideal for family camping. We had everything we needed - plenty of space, hot showers, toilets, bins, laundry facilities. We were able to barbecue and our kids roamed around. It was quiet and safe. It was an excellent base camp from which to explore. I would definitely return.
