The salt tang of the Irish Sea greets you before you've even unhooked the van — Carnfunnock sits right on the Antrim coast, with views that shift between grey and brilliant depending on the mood of the water.
This is a straightforward spot for tourers and motorhomes, best suited to couples or families who want the Northern Irish coast path on their doorstep without fuss. The Country Park wraps around the site — think wooded glens, a walled garden, and that famous miniature railway if you've got younger ones in tow. You're midway between Larne and Ballygally, with the Glens of Antrim unfolding inland and plenty of dramatic clifftop walks north toward the Causeway Coast.
Facilities aren't detailed here, so ring ahead to check what's onsite and whether your dog's welcome — policies vary. Campfires are worth asking about on arrival too. The feel is coastal and open, the kind of place where you park up, breathe deep, and let the weather do its thing. Expect wind, seabirds, and that particular North Channel light that makes everything look twice as alive.
