The crunch of gravel underfoot and the cry of gulls overhead announce your arrival at this no-frills touring park on Northern Ireland's dramatic Antrim coast. Fresh salt air sweeps in from the Irish Sea, carrying that distinctive coastal clarity that makes the greens of the surrounding farmland seem impossibly vivid.

This straightforward site suits those who prefer coastal exploration to onsite entertainment, with the rugged beauty of Co Antrim providing all the distraction you'll need. The year-round opening makes it a solid choice for hardy winter tourers seeking coastal solitude or summer families wanting a base for beach days and clifftop walks. All types of tourers are welcome, from tents to caravans and campervans.

Facilities are kept simple and practical—hot showers and clean toilets provide the essentials after days spent exploring. The atmosphere is refreshingly unpretentious: this is a place where the landscape does the talking, and fellow campers are here for the same reason you are—to wake up near the waves and fall asleep to the sound of the sea.

Portstewart Cliff Path

Follows the dramatic clifftop between Portstewart and Portstewart Strand, mostly flat with gentle undulations on well-maintained paths. Excellent for families with older children who can handle cliff edges; not suitable for buggies due to steps and uneven sections. Dogs welcome on leads. Delivers stunning Atlantic views, crashing waves below, and access to the sweeping sandy beach—particularly spectacular on blustery days when the surf's up.

Dune and Estuary Walk, Portstewart Strand

National Trust logoNational Trust

Explores dramatic coastal dunes and tidal estuary along National Trust-managed Portstewart Strand. Mostly flat, sandy terrain with some soft sections through dunes making buggies impractical, though families with steady walkers will love the beach stretches. Dogs welcome year-round on this 5.6km route. Outstanding for birdwatching across the Bann Estuary, wild Atlantic views, and that vast, windswept beach experience Northern Ireland does brilliantly.

Green Trail, Giant's Causeway

National Trust logoNational Trust

Circles the iconic hexagonal basalt columns on a short, paved path with minimal incline, though some uneven stones require care. Perfectly manageable for families with steady toddlers, but buggies will struggle on the rocky sections near the formations. Dogs welcome on leads. Worth it for jaw-dropping geology and dramatic coastal views—Northern Ireland's most famous natural wonder condensed into an easy 20-minute loop.

Mostly flat, paved path suitable for buggies and families, though strong winds can make it challenging for very young children. Dogs welcome on leads. The geology is genuinely world-class – you're walking above 60-million-year-old volcanic rock formations that inspired myths of giants.
