  • Family-run Cloghane pub campsite on the Wild Atlantic Way
  • Conor Pass, Fermoyle Strand and Brandon Point all 10 minutes’ drive
  • Seafront pitches with stunning views of Brandon Bay and Mount Brandon
Appreciate spectacular views? Well… O’Connors Campsite Cloghane has them in spades. This peaceful County Kerry stopover on the Dingle Peninsula has a spacious camping field where you can pick your own pitches overlooking Brandon Bay on the long-distance Wild Atlantic Way. Stay a while on this quiet, family-run campsite between the sea and the mountains of West Kerry, and you’ll surely fall in love with the stunning outlook to Mount Brandon and surrounding peaks. There are also numerous gorgeous beaches within 10 minutes’ drive, with Dingle and Castlegregory both about 15 minutes away. Any kids travelling with you will probably also fall in love with the small farm animals on site too. If you’re on for some good wholesome Irish craic during your stay, all you need to do is hotfoot it into O’Connors pub adjacent to the site, where you’ll receive a warm welcome, home-cooked pizzas and curries, and a lively line in music from local musicians. When you’re not feeling quite so sociable, the pub also does takeaways for you to carry back to your pitch, or you can spark up the barbecue – perhaps just in time to witness a stunning sunset on a clear day. If you are going down the self-catering route, there’s a convenience store selling essentials, pastries and pasties five minutes’ stroll away around the bay.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: The setting is truly beautiful. Probably unsurpassable. Other than repeating saying it beautiful can’t add any more

Disliked: As elsewhere in Ireland the recycling of waste doesn’t appear straightforward. Instead rather chaotic

Gareth D. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Unbelievable views of Brandon Bay and Mountains . Late check in easy as the site is owned by the pub. Friendly staff and the pub and its restaurant on your doorstep. Birdlife. The facilities are limited and a bit tired, but really adds to the authenticity of the place. The following night we were at a site voted ‘best in…’ this, that and the other, and in our view O’connors, for location and experience, beats it hands down !

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: The pub onsite and how close it was to the Conor Pass

Disliked: No one there to check us in. Our electric went on the first night, we called to the pub who called down to tell us it was our caravan not their electric. The weather was very bad and we left as the site was quite exposed. When we got to the next campsite the caravan electric worked perfectly.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (family)

Liked: Beautiful views over the water with the mountains behind. Fantastic value, friendly owner, flat large site, quiet and peaceful location surrounded by nature, great base for climbing brandon mountain, and hot showers.

Disliked: There are not that many toilets but was not a problem for us as it was not busy.
There is no kitchen but at the wonderful price of the campsite, it is great value for money.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (family)

Liked: Quiet, good fishing area (when tide is in). Everyone seemed very friendly, nobody was there and we had the pitch to ourselves. Campfires allowed which was a plus for us.

Disliked: Very open, feels like you’re in somebody’s back garden.
Lack of communication from staff, not sure where toilets were ect.
Open gates (dogs came in and stole our food off our barbecue)

Local attractions

If you’re planning on attending the Féile Lughnasa festival (the last full weekend of July), book your stopover at O’Connors Campsite Cloghane well in advance to enjoy several days and nights of music and singing, sand-sculpture competitions, pet shows, a vintage-car exhibition and a pilgrimage up Mount Brandon (about an hour’s walk). There are many other walks in the locality, ranging from short strolls around Brandon Bay to harder slogs up to Arraglen Ogham Stone (two and a half hours), where there’s also a memorial to a crashed military plane as well as far-reaching views over moorland hills to the Atlantic Ocean. Otherwise, try sections of the Dingle Way, a walking trail that winds around the whole peninsula. Driving the rugged coastal Wild Atlantic Way? West Kerry sights on your itinerary might include the narrow, twisting drive through Conor Pass, dotted with lakes and waterfalls, the soft sandy beach at Fermoyle Strand (just the spot for family picnics) and the viewing deck with ocean vistas at Brandon Point (all 10 minutes).
