Alan Rogers Review of Keel Sandybanks Caravan and Camping Park
This park offers a taste of island life and the opportunity to relax in dramatic, scenic surroundings. Achill, Ireland’s largest island, is 24 km. long and 19 km. wide and is connected to the mainland by a bridge. The wide-open site is situated beside the Blue Flag beach near Keel Village. Although static holiday mobile homes are on this site, the 84 touring pitches are kept separate. There are 50 pitches with hardstanding, and some are located at the perimeter fence overlooking the beach. Although sand-based, the ground is firm and level. Roads are tarmac, and there is direct access to the beach, which lifeguards supervise.
Achill Island is an outdoor playground for all ages, with surfing, kitesurfing, kayaking, horse riding, mountain walking, cycling, golfing, angling and a number of blue flags beaches for revitalising sea swims and refreshing walks; the campsite is located next to a children’s playground, there are also local shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants within walking distance.
Whilst a treat in store for visitors is the natural beauty of Achill, also worth seeing are Kildownet Castle, the Slievemore deserted village and the Seal Caves. Occasionally, a traditional music evening is organised on the site.
