The scent of pine needles underfoot and the rush of the Shimna River through ancient woodland — Tollymore Forest feels more wild retreat than typical touring park.
This is a spot for campervan and caravan owners who want electric hook-up without sacrificing atmosphere, set beneath the dramatic slopes of the Mournes in County Down. Dog walkers will want to check the policy on arrival, but the forest trails beyond the site are legendary — think moss-covered bridges, towering conifers, and red squirrels overhead. Couples and older families who prefer a calm base for hiking tend to gravitate here.
Facilities are straightforward: pitches with electric, the essentials covered, nothing fancy. Campfires need confirming when you arrive, so ask at check-in if you're planning to cook over flame. The vibe is quiet, outdoorsy, and refreshingly uncommercial — you're here for the trees, the trails, and the mountains looming just beyond the canopy.
