  • Peaceful family-run site on the Antrim coast with sea views
  • An hour and a half's walk from Giant's Causeway and Dunluce Castle
  • Playground, games room and camp kitchen on site
The folk at UNESCO may have bestowed their coveted World Heritage Site status on just one place in Northern Ireland, but boy is it a corker. It is, of course, the famed Giant’s Causeway, up on the northern Antrim coast a couple of miles from Bushmills. A day trip here is a very fine thing, but a vastly preferable thing is to coast along for a few days at Causeway Coast Wigwams, two miles from the main attraction. Settle in here to see the spectacular stones at your own pace, following in the footsteps of the giants themselves to amble over there in an hour and a half at whatever hour you choose (and there’s free entry for those on foot, too… so perhaps you’ll stroll over more than once to see it in different lights?). And there’s more beyond that – the site’s also well placed for wanders to Dunluce Castle and a dram or few at the Bushmills Distillery. Golfers may possibly have heard of the local course, one Royal Portrush Golf Club; it’s a 15-minute drive away if you’d like to watch your idols in action or have a crack at the course yourself. Back at base, sea-view barbecues or campfires are a fab idea on a fine day; if it's a tad soggy (as is occasionally the case in this part of the world), confine your cooking to the well-equipped camp kitchen. With a similar nod to the fickle weather the owners have also set up both an open-air playground and an indoor games room (plus free wifi to check the forecast).

What customers say

Great spot near the Giant's Causeway. Super clean modern facilities, well-equipped kitchen & games room. Friendly, helpful staff. Some pitches a bit sloped, more kitchen seating would be nice. Loads want to come back!

From the manager: Hi Geralt

Sorry you did not enjoy your time here , always a great pity when guests cannot raise issues with us whilst here onsite as I spoke to you most days during your stay.

We can look at the issues you raised re our kitchen facility, this is not the only drinking water source onsite - we may just need to address signage to this point.

We did have a very busy weekend onsite during your stay, as always at busy times we had our night warden onsite, no issues reported via our warden / raised with the night warden or ourselves regarding Loud music after 10:30pm on any of the nights ? I was onsite also to around mid-night on Sat and site was settled and quiet.

Re the toilets again I think you just saw a very busy weekend onsite, we do clean very regularly , and as required, please have a look through many many other guest reviews for our site and I think you will find we do keep our facilities to a high standard. Again if guests choose to disrespect rules or mis-treat our facilities , I apologise for this and assure you that we rectify as soon as we see or are made aware off.

A little disappointed you raised our customer service as very low rating as if you remember correctly we accommodated a change of pitch for you on request on day of your arrival to one of our electric pitches - answered any questions you asked of us during your stay ,as we try to do for all our guests to ensure you all have a pleasant stay.

Thanks for your custom and we wish you a safe onward journey.

Regards

Gavin

A pleasant 4 days stay.

Local attractions

A decent pair of walking shoes is a useful item for the packing list – they’ll come in handy for your walk to the Giant's Causeway, and for scampering over the rocks when you get there. It’s a 45-minute walk to the visitor centre and a further half-hour to the rocks (there’s parking and a shuttle bus too if legs aren’t up to such endeavours). Dunluce Castle, four miles away, is another fab spot for a walk, but for close-up sea views you might like to pick your way across the Carrick-A-Rede rope bridge (15 minutes’ drive), which takes you right out over the waves. Need a tot of whiskey to calm your nerves before/after? The Old Bushmills Distillery is a five-minute drive from site (or a 45-minute stagger). In the market for some beach action? Portrush, 15 minutes away, is the place for sandy stretches and the fine funfair rides at Barry’s Amusements. Bowling and a waterpark are also in town for keeping small sorts amused on damp days.
