Fantastic

Everything previous reviewers have said is true. We stayed here for a week in June and were blessed with mostly fine weather. Howard is indeed the perfect CL host, with a friendly welcome on arrival and always ready to help if there is a problem but otherwise leaving you alone to enjoy the site . The site is kept lovely and clean and fully serviced pitches makes the site perfect. This was our first visit to Northern Ireland and we were not disappointed with the scenery and things to see and do. Thank you Howard.

Wonderful!

We stayed at Howard's CL for a week in August. Firstly, Howard is a very helpful and friendly host and his site has probably the best view we have ever had at a CL - waking up to the glorious view of Portstewart Strand is unbeatable. Its very peaceful and well located for exploring the north coast, Giant's Causeway and Donegal. Coleraine is not far and has all the shops you will need. Thank you Howard - it was a pleasure to meet you and stay at your lovely site - albeit windy at times!

A perfect place to stay

We rolled into this lovely CL on a hill and our name was on the board with the pitch number we were to use. This small thing makes life so simple, we could pitch up and have the kettle on straight away. The owner came over to see us as soon as we had settled in and was helpful and friendly. We asked about local taxis but he insisted if we needed a lift we should ring him. Of course, we didn't like to do that and so walked the 30 - 40 minutes there and back to Castlerock on the quiet lanes. Castlerock is a pretty little town with a fantastic beach and a few cafes. We caught the train to Derry from here, a lovely train ride. The views from the site are big and the peace and quiet is perfect. We also walked in the woodland and to Downhill Bay.

SIMPLY ONE OF THE BEST

Thanks to Howard who is one of the best wardens of a CL you may come across ,he went out of his way to make us feel welcome as he does with all who visit this peach of a site. If you are coming from other parts of the UK or ROI to this most amazing part of Northern Ireland then you will not be disappointed. Breathtaking views and gorgeous scenery all around this extremely well laid out CL A short drive to all the goodies that the North Coast has to offer with Benone beach fantastic on a warm sunny day like we had. Wonderful walks are also on the doorstep with gortmore viewpoint a couple of miles up the road with views that will please for sure. Again thanks Howard and looking forward to our next visit.

Excellent site and host

First I would like to thank Howard for his warm and welcoming hospitality. From before arriving to sadly having to leave; we were made to feel as comfortable and welcome as possible. Which with a new baby and heavily pregnant partner was greatly appreciated. Only caveat is just take care when travelling to and from the site with caravan in tow ...a quick tour beforehand on a virtual map exiting at the castlerock crossroads did us no harm. + Exceptional views across an area of outstanding natural beauty + A mile from some 8 miles of blue flag beach. + Secluded and peaceful + Fully serviced pitch + Only 15£/night. Couldn't beat it with a big stick.

Excellent site with a warm welcome from the owner.

August 3rd 2020. So we arrived at this magnificent C.L., through the top gate and Howard had left our names on a list ready for us to pitch up. (there is another gate at the bottom of the field which most people seemed to drive out of) Just a word of warning a sat nav will probably take you to a left turn opposite Downhill Beach DO NOT go up this way to the camp site as it is extremely steep, lots of bends and not suitable certainly for caravans. Instead take a left turn just after Articlave and at the turning down to Castlerock on the right. There is a garden centre on the left, (where the lady owner is very helpful). You will see an old caravan club sign as you turn in left . The site has a wonderful view over farmland down to the coast. On a clear day you can see from Downhill to Portrush. During lock down Howard has been very busy and has now provided water not only round the edge of the site but for each pitch along with grey water waste disposal and 16 amp electric (this is either at the side of the field or at the top on the concrete road in. So all of this for a price (at time of writing) of just £15.00 - for a serviced pitch! Howard was great as we obviously didn't know about his upgraded pitches and he went out of his way to find a pipe that would connect up the grey waste. Thank you. The site is sloping but Howard has put in 3 hard standing full concrete pitches plus 2 with concrete bases for caravan wheels. If you have come without ramps or blocks then there are logs available around the site. There is a little road noise (certainly didn't disturb us) many of the cars were stopping at the viewpoint further up the road. Don't miss it as there are spectacular views across to Donegal and the Isle of Islay on the Scottish coast as well as the coast line from Milligans point right round the north coast. The site is well placed for the beaches of Downhill and Castlerock where you drive your car onto the beach (your responsibility though to be aware of the tides), national trust properties, and for touring the Causeway Costal Route and across into the Republic of Ireland.

Our Top Site To Date

The situation is magnificent and, with its elevated position on a hill sloping towards the morning sun, the panoramic view over the Mussenden Estate towards Portstewart and Portrush is a splendid way to start the day. The owner, Howard, couldn't have been more accommodating. A gentleman farmer who was always cheery and willing to lend a hand, or give advice if required but, if peace was what you wanted, then peace is what you got. The site is very well maintained, clean and tidy, as are the on-site services. There is so much to see and do in this area that it kept us busy every day of the two weeks we spent here. Two memories stand out: exploring old Derry city and a long, long walk along Downhill Beach (just below the site) paddling in the shallows as we went. Tip: follow the approach route given in the handbook as the more obvious approach from the village of Downhill involves a steep slope, hairpin bends, and narrow roads.

Wonderful site with sea views

Very well maintained, plenty of space. 3 level hardstandings and grass pitches which need some levelling blocks. Lovely owner, ( thank you for your hospitality Howard!) warm and friendly but unobtrusive. Site situated half way up a hill and sea views on 2 sides of the site as well as gorgeous sunsets. At bottom of the hill is Downhill beach where you can drive on the sand and have a picnic next to your car whilst listening to the sea. Very close to Mussenden Temple and some lovely walks in the woods and Binevenagh region. Trains to Londonderry or Belfast in Castlerock. A real gem. N.B. Follow directions in CMC book NOT sat nav.

I can only echo the other reviews. The access directions sound complicated but work in practice. A CL sign has been added by the turn off the A2 by the garden centre. The only thing I might add is that the site has quite a slope on it but Mr Andrews has left various blocks of wood about to aid levelling and the hard standing near the in-gate collected water when it rained. We used one of the three pads set in the field for our single axle 'van.

Probably the best site we will ever find!

What an amazing place! Extremely spacious, lawned site with either hard stands or levelling strips. All pitches overlook the coast of Port Stewart and along the Antrim coast towards Portrush. Well maintained site - I cannot praise it highly enough. Easy reach of all attractions along the Antrim coast as well as within easy access of the Foyle ferry - can thoroughly recommend a visit to Londonderry and to Malin Head. Also Rathlin Island, Giants Causeway and Ballycastle easily reached. This was our final site on our 4 week trip to NI and Donegal and we definitely left the best until last! 5 star site Mr Andrews - thank you ??
