In the very popular area of Cranfield, Sandilands is set slightly apart from its neighbours, looking south east over the Irish Sea rather than Carlingford Lough. The park largely comprises privately owned caravan holiday homes, but has an attractive and enclosed area for 31 touring units. It makes the most of its coastal plain situation to the immediate south of the Mourne Mountains. Kilkeel and the mountain foothills can be reached in a few minutes by car. Sandilands is pleasantly laid out with an inviting entrance and may be just the answer for those seeking a quieter location whilst visiting the area.
Chestnutt Holiday Park is one of the best in the southernmost corner of Northern Ireland. There are two areas designated for touring units, one on each side of the entrance road and all pitches have electricity, light, water and waste. The park is surrounded by dramatic scenery and unspoilt countryside and is an attractive choice for a beach-based holiday. The adjacent beach, with lifeguard, tennis court, small football pitch and play park will keep youngsters happy all day. The backdrop of the Mourne Mountains to the north gives the area shelter. Since the introduction of more facilities for children, Easter is becoming popular at this site.
Delamont Country Park Camping and Caravanning Club site is currently the only club site in Northern Ireland. The site sits adjacent to the stunning Delamont Country Park in a peaceful, rural location surrounded by mature trees and the rich vegetation of the country park. Facilities on the site itself are excellent and has an orderly, neat and tidy appearance. Reception stands beside the entrance, with the toilet block towards the rear. The 70 hardstanding pitches on level terrain all have electricity, plus water and waste hook-ups. There are a few grass-only pitches and visitors with tents should contact the site. There is no play area on this site, however ball games, kite flying and more can be enjoyed in the park next door where free parking is available for site users.
This popular park, for touring units only, is located within the parkland of Tollymore Forest, which is noted for its scenic surroundings. The forest park is approached by a majestic avenue of Himalayan cedars and covers an area of almost 500 hectares. Situated two miles from the beaches and resort of Newcastle, it is backed impressively by the Mourne mountains.
A family-run quiet holiday park, with level and spacious grass pitches. With an ideal location being only a 1-minute drive or a 5-minute walk to the centre of the seaside town of Newcastle, at the foot of the Mourne Mountains, with many cafes, restaurants and bars. There are 3 touring areas, with the furthest from the reception appearing bigger than the others. Pitches are well maintained, well-drained and all have 16A electrical hookups. There is a games room.
On the shores of Carlingford Lough, with direct access to a Blue Flag beach, this friendly, family run park immediately impresses with its well cared for flower beds, neat hedging, cordyline palms and the elegant building which incorporates the family home and reception. Despite the many privately owned caravan holiday homes on site, 40 touring pitches are kept separate and are situated towards the park entrance. Most pitches have a sea view, hardstanding and all have tower units providing 10A electricity hook-ups, water, waste water point and TV outlet. Tents are not accepted.
Set between the torrs of Slieve Binnian and the sea, the proprietors of this well-appointed park have reserved 12 pitches near the sea exclusively for touring caravans. The park has grown over several years and has become a pleasant location, primarily for privately owned caravan holiday homes. Like many Irish caravan parks, Annalong has few trees, but with most of these being Cordyline palms, the park has a semi-tropical look.
