Family campsites in Connaught

Benbecul97

Looking for a family campsite that people could recommend in the Connaught region for next weekend. Somewhere preferably within 90 mins of Galway which would pretty much cover all of Connaught!

It will be a first time experience with kids so preferably someplace close to a town which would open up more options when the weather might not be the best.

I have seen the ones on www.camping-ireland.ie and I'm sure there are others that are not on this website, but would prefer to get personal recommendations.

Thanks.

Try http://www.westporthouse.ie/ in Mayo. We have stayed here a couple of times and love it.

The trip would be 1hr & 30mins though, probrally longer with caravan.

You could try Clifden, about 1hr from Galway, lovely site's to see and you could stay in http://www.clifdencamping.com/, you could visit Kylemore Abbey, Roundstone, trip out to Inisboffin.

Enjoy, lovely part of the world.

Just back from Renvyle camping site. Lovely area. I think there's also one down closer to Lettergesh.

Hi,
Try Actons Beachside Caravan & Camping Eco-Park just 10 minutes from Clifden town. www.actonsbeachsidecamping.com This is a quiet & private campsite with its own private beach.Spent some time there over the Summer, the ground is dry & clean even after heavy rain.Great for kids who want to do crabbing,swimming etc

Forgot to add this site also has a strict 'child protection policy' in place on the site!!!!

Thanks for the replies.

I think for a first time camping experience with kids Westport House is the best option with all it has to offer.

make sure you check the price

Benbecul97

Why? Sure aren't all the details on the website.

Has anyone stayed in Pairc Saoire in Spiddal, or the caravan and camping park in Carraroe? Would like to camp out that side next week but can't find any reviews of either of these sites. I know there's three sites in Salthill but I'd prefer somewhere less crowded.
