Carra Caravan & Camping Park

Alan Rogers Review of Carra Caravan & Camping Park

This is an ideal location for those seeking a real Irish village experience in a ‘value for money’ park. Small, unpretentious and family-run, it is located in Belcarra, a regular winner of the Tidiest Mayo Village award. Nestling at the foot of a wooded drumlin, it is surrounded by rolling hills and quiet roads, which offer an away from it all feeling, yet Castlebar, the county’s largest town, is only 8 km away. The owner, Pat, and her daughter, Deirdre, are proud of their locality and give occasional talks on the area.

On the pleasant 1.5-acre park, the 20 unmarked touring pitches, 15 with electric hook-up (13A Europlug), are on flat, grassy ground enclosed by ranch fencing and shaded in parts by trees. A novel accommodation offering here are the traditional horse-drawn caravans for hire. It's an idyllic, rural location surrounded by fields and country lanes, so recommended walks are plentiful, and maps are provided. The National Museum of Country Life at Turlough (8 km) which is a super attraction.
