Caravan trip to the west coast of Ireland

We booked Nagles Doolin for 7 nights at the end of June. We booked it via The Caravan Club so were expecting a certain standard. We were not disappointed. The site is well appointed, if you like being by the sea, the pitches are level and reasonably well spaced out and the toilets and washrooms were numerous and clean. The site is handy for boat trips to the Aran Islands, walking to the Cliffs of Moher, visiting The Burren and the local pubs serve good food, great Guinness and have live music every night, which makes for a great atmosphere! The nearest pub is a 10-15 min walk away or 1 min in the car. We enjoyed both the campsite and the area of County Clare which we felt wasn't as commercialised as Kerry where we had been the week before. There are some good links golf courses within driving distance e.g. Lahinch, Doonbeg etc. We played Lahinch at twilight and it was excellent. We were also pleased to see that there were a number of local cycling routes from Doolin. If bird watching is your thing, then the Cliffs of Moher is a must, particularly on a boat trip where you can get closer to the thousands of puffins, guillemots, razorbills, fulmars etc which frequent the cliffs. All in all we had a great week. The only downside was the variable weather but even this didn't stop us doing what we wanted to do.

coastal site

Accessing the Burren are from the north can be difficult as the roads are narrow in places and used by many coaches - so care in passing is required. The site is almost on the coast and has little protection from the weather. Winds and rain are not infrequent. Having said that, there is a very nice walk along the cliffs to the Cliffs of Mohar (about 5 miles each way) and the ferry to the islands is by the site. The pub in the village (about 3/4 mile away) serves good food and has music.

Nagles Doolin

The basic site is good, clean and good facilities. Unfortunately the staff are not very helpful. As I was unwell we asked if a taxi could be organised up to the local pub a mile away to enjoy the Irish folk music, this was not possible. We then drove the Motorhome to the pub and used a bollard to save our spot on the site. We received a stern warning for using the bollard. Ireland is great but not this site....

Delightful Doolin

We stayed here for 4 nights at the end of May and the weather was wall to wall sunshine. From the site we explored the limestone pavement of the Burren with its amazing floura. One day we visited Inish Mor the largest of the Aran Islands. The cliff and coast walks are very good. All these activities were done in the company of our dog Millie who is well trained and kept on lead. The Sea Salt Cafe in the village serves great fish and chips.

Hidden Gem

We spent 2 fantastic nights in this fabulous location. Sea views and stunning sunsets over a harbour view. Great place to explore The Burren and the Cliffs of Moher. The pitches are flat and have their own water supply staff are friendly and helpful I would totally recommend it for a few days of peace and quiet

Peaceful few days at Doolin

We spent a few days at the Nagles-Doolin site. Weather was awful for the first couple of days, but after that was gorgeous. We were there out of season so everything was very quiet and peaceful. We had a lovely fully serviced pitch, overlooking the bay. Other than the odd visit to the toilet, we didn't use any of the facilities on the site. While there we visited the cliffs of Moher, went to the Doolin Cave to see the amazing stalagtite, took a ferry trip to the small aran island and then rode a pushbike around it, did the scenic ferry ride back to see the cliffs from the sea, and went out to the Burren, to see the hill fort and prehistoric tomb. This was a lovely site to explore this area from, especially out of season.

Four day visit to Doolin & surrounding area

The location and pitches were very good with views over the cliffs of Moher and easy access to the Aran Islands. On the down side the toilet facilities, which were reasonable, could have done with more frequent cleaning and checks to ensure a reasonable standard was maintained through what was a peak tourist time. The shop supplied very basic supplies which could be increased especially as the next nearest grocery store was some distance away & not readily (or safely) accessible especially by those on foot or bike. Overall a good site and certainly far better than another we stayed at (near Galway) during the same trip.

Site with a wonderful position

Located close to Doolin Pier (great for ferries to Aran Islands) we found this to be a spacious and well laid out site. Facilities were good, and a small shop in the reception building provides basics.  Great views of the Cliffs of Moher, and across to the Aran Islands. If you want the nearest pub, it is a bit of a walk, approx. 20  minutes, but do-able, and well worth the walk. Live music was available from 9.30 pm. Food was excellent. Staff on site were helpful, and you do have to leave a returnable deposit for the access fob to the entrance. Each pitch has its own hook-up, water and grey water outlet, which made the whole visit very easy.  Would certainly return if in Ireland again.
