Why stay here ...

Set on the Atlantic coast at the edge of County Clare, this site is popular for its stunning coastline walks. Pitches are largely hardstanding and well-appointed with plenty of space to ensure outfits aren’t cramped, and there’s a shop to stock up on essentials.

Nearby Doolin has a range of shops, restaurants and pubs where a hearty meal and a pint of Guinness can be enjoyed along with traditional Irish music. Just a short walk away are the frequent ferries to the sparsely inhabited Aran islands.

There is plenty to see and do in this beautiful part of Ireland. The cliffs of Moher offer spectacular views of the coast and are home to many species of birds, making them ideal for walkers and ornithologists. The natural splendour of Doolin Cave is also within easy reach.

Great location

Nagles Doolin
Large open site near the sea and Doolin Pier. Beware, we arrived on a Bank holiday and the access road from Doolin was rammed with cars parked everywhere including double yellow lines. Care and patience was needed. On arrival park on the left near the barrier and check in. After booking in we were shown to our pitch by a young man on a bike. You’ll have to hunt for a water tap but they are there. We emptied grey waste at the camper van service point. There are a few seasonal pitches and statics but this is primarily a touring site with tents, motorhomes and caravans. Early in June there was a high turnover too. The site is peaceful and well kept with some good views but very open with a wind blowing most of the time but at least it was warm when we were there. The sanitary blocks are will fitted out and clean. A shower will cost you 1 euro. From the site its a couple of minutes walk to the Doolin Ferry across to the Aran Isles. You can also walk from the site to the Cliffs of Mohr. Many eating and drinking opportunities in Doolin. We ate at Russell’s Seafood Bar where the lamb and mussels did not disappoint. We would stay here again.

Stunning location

Nagles Doolin
Stayed for two weeks mid-August. Site is in a fantastic location, right by the sea and Doolin pier. Staff were friendly and helpful Facilities were good and kept clean. Doolin has some great pubs and restaurants, but be aware there’s no “corner shop” for about five miles and the site shop is limited in what it carries. Found the photos a bit deceptive as the site was rammed full with loads of tents as well, many in groups, and the 10pm quiet time wasn’t enforced. Also lots of people playing ball games around caravans (including hitting hard hurling balls), so we were concerned about our caravan being hit! Probably best to avoid August and the crowds.

Great site for the Cliffs of Moher

Nagles Doolin
We stayed at Nagle’s Doolin for three nights in August and were offered the choice of any pitch. There were plenty of hardstandings with water, drainage and electric hook-up and immaculate grass adjacent to them. We chose one at the outer perimeter by a wall, as we thought it might be more sheltered there (it wasn’t!). We had a distant sea view, but for the best views you probably need to choose a grass pitch by the wall of the Doolin Pier car park. This is a busy site with lots of families. In the early evening the children’s play area is extremely popular, and children feel safe to cycle, scoot and skate all around the site. Showers cost €1 and are located in the main shower/toilet block - this is closed between 10pm and 7.30am, however there are some toilets available 24/7. The site is at Doolin Pier - ideal for ferry trips - and it is a fairly short walk to the old village, partly on pavement and partly along a busy and narrow country road. The road and village can get quite congested with traffic, including coaches and minibuses. The village is extremely pretty, and has quaint shops and cafes. We called in at Gus O’Connor’s pub a couple of times, and found it to be very friendly. The Cliffs of Moher are easily accessible to walk to, and offer stunning views. One day we walked over 7.5 miles from the campsite, along the cliffs and to the visitor centre, where we caught a shuttle bus (the ‘Paddywagon - a bright green minibus) back to Doolin - this cost €6 per person. Apparently there is also a bus service to and from the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre - this may be less frequent, and we heard that it cost €3.20 each way. The campsite WiFi is free but we found it to be intermittent. This is a good site with beautiful scenery. But be ready for rapid changes in weather - it was always wild and windy, but it went from sunny to dark grey skies / heavy rain (and back again) frequently and very quickly.

Overall the best site we stopped at in Ireland

Nagles Doolin
Stayed for 4 nights here and still left lots of things we could have done. Facilities excellent and site shop had any basics we were missing. Well laid out flat hardstandings with plenty of space between outfits. Short walk to ferry and a bit longer to the old village. Amazing views over the cliffs and wonderful night skies.

Nagles Doolin
Nagles caravan site is the best site that I have been on and I would recommend it to everyone including families, it is very well kept , the facilities are good and clean and the views are spectacular to the south with the cliffs of Moher and Doolin cave, then you have the ferries to go to the Aran islands. so folks if your in county Clare be sure to spend a night or tow at Nagles caravan park and go into Gus O' Connors pub in Doolin village you will get a really good pint of Guinness and an excellent meal at reasonable prices.
