Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
We had a cracking stay at this campsite. We thankfully missed peak season, staying mid week just at schools started back. We had a perfect pitch with a stunning view. The facilities were spotless and the staff we spoke to were very friendly. Excellent spot for some relaxation.

We enjoyed two nights at Wave Crest in our Camper, a beautifully appointed site with specific pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes. All have a stunning view of the rugged Ring of Kerry coastline. Toilet/Shower/Kitchen facilities are first class and spotlessly clean. On arrival John providrd us with a map, information and suggestions for things to do. The little shop is handy for your basics, and a little more, and the Pompeii Pizza Wagon (seasonal) at the gateway was great for dinner on one of our two nights. Within walking distance of Carrolls Cove (beautiful sandy) beach and food bar, and a longer but manageable walk to The Blind Piper in Caherdaniel. We stayed at a mixture of campsites and did some wild camping over the two weeks of our holiday, and travelled through Clare, Kerry and Cork. Wave Crest was our favourite and represented good value in a price comparison with the others. …

This site is one we visit year after year, Bríd & John have a fantastic site beautifully situated on the ring of Kerry, all of the staff are a credit to the site. The shower & toilet area is constantly cleaned & extremely well maintained. The shop is also fully packed with all you need & Pompeii Pizza also has a truck on site. All of the nearby beaches are stunning. We did not want to leave yet again after a wonderful stay. We have a tent & our pitch was just by the stony beach, ideal for a quick dip in the beautiful weather we had. We also had our bikes & there are many places nearby to explore. We will most definitely be back next year. You should be very proud of your site & staff.

Lovely location & site. We had no WiFi access for the 2days/nights we were there, which is not good enough. Please don't advertise a service where you cannot provide coverage on All parts of site. We were in a camper van next to the car park beside the road. The ' private provider' did not respond to my calls or txt either. Especially disappointing for teenager who wanted to play games in the evening. I recommend the site & location but make sure to confirm WiFi, unfortunately they appear to be at the mercy of an outside private provider!!

Stayed one night in campervan. Ended up in small area at end of carpark next to main road with five other campervans. Okay but not great as there wasn't room for the kids to play from the other vans!! Being a bank holiday weekend they were obviously trying to fit everyone in. Toilet facilities in the nearest block look to be very dated. Tokens required for showers! A small shop near the entrance is well stocked and very handy.

I was delighted to hear today that the Derrynane hotel has cancelled all bookings fo '22 ! We booked Wavecrest in Feb 21 ,no contact from wavecrest by June Called down to find out what was happening and we were informed that our booking had been 'lost' we were given an alternative date in Aug. take it or leave it ! We took it just to have a small holiday for us. No choice of pitch for the tent,take it or leave it again ,an exposed sloping pitch and we had to deal with a storm on the second night of the three night stay that we were given ! The greed of these people knows no limits !

Me, my wife and 3 children (16, 12 & 9) had the best caravan holiday in Wavecrest. The scenery is amazing and the site itself is so well run. It’s kept absolutely spotless by the lovely staff throughout. There’s a shop on the site which supplies freshly baked bread and a great deli counter which also offers take away meals. The swimming areas on the site are really nice stoney beaches and good diving spots too, great for snorkelling. This year, there’s a Pompeii wood fired pizza set up at the entrance to the site. This is the best campsite we have ever stayed at.

Whoever had the imagination to conceive of this park in this location should be complimented. Its a fantastic use of a beautiful location. Lovely views from everywhere, friendly and helpful staff, great services, decent shop on site and cafe, lots or brilliant walks and drives locally. Compares with our favourite campsites in France.

Just back from a week in wavecrest. Fantastic site. Spotless ,scenic and so well laid out . Loads to do and see in the area. No shortage of beaches within 2 or 3 miles either direction. Lots of exploring and walking close by. Visited Sneem ,Waterville ,valentia Island and enjoyed a day in west cork. Hope to get back next year.

All the facilities that you might need for camping, hot showers, kettle and wash up area On the edge of the ocean so you can have a dip in the sea, nothing like that to recharge About a 2k walk to nearest pub food, don’t forget a torch for walking the road home as it is unlit and no footpath Local pub blind piper catherdaniel menu attached for reference
