Allen Centre

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: Where do I start, 0/5 stars if this was an option. We pre booked our tent space the upcoming weeks to the June bank holiday weekend, giving tent dimensions etc. after travelling 3 hours we were greeted by a backlog of cars and campers completely lost not knowing where to set up for the weekend. Car park absolutely packed, areas for camping massively overcrowded where safety was definitely an issue, no space to even walk past tents without tripping over guide wires etc. Waited in reception for 40+ minutes looking for assistance for where our pre booked space was. Eventually resorted to a scribbled sign saying “set up anywhere be back soon, Sean” followed by a phone number. After attempting to call 8 times , along with two other groups that were there and had also pre booked, I got through to Sean who assured us there was space and someone would meet us soon, we were then greeted by a staff member who started by saying “I don’t deal with the bookings” I wasn’t impressed by this greeting but I can only imagine the unhappy customers he had to deal with throughout the day so I let it pass. He had obviously been abandoned by those in charge when they realised the complete overbooking mess earlier in the day. We walked through 3 tent areas to come to the conclusion that there was absolutely no space to even sit down on the green never mind set up a tent. Proceeded to call Sean after this to voice my opinion on the whole set up and demand a refund, for 15+ calls to be ignored. A great location but obviously not run by a competent person, I used the facilities prior to travelling 3 hours home and I would say they have not been cleaned since summer season last year. Our bank holiday plans were ruined along with so many others for the hour we spent there. I must mention that Lough Allen activity centre (A completely different business, in no way linked to the camping centre) we’re so nice and accommodating when we called them to explain that we had to cancel our pre booked activities due to this issue, they went above and beyond trying to find alternative accommodation for us , unfortunately to no avail but they gave us a full refund there and then. By my experience with the activity centre I would highly recommend. I will never pass through the gates to the camping grounds ever again!

Liked: Owner, very pleasant and helpful. Price about the best in Ireland for motorhomes. Early check in, late checkout always very welcome. Toilet block clean and tidy. Location by Lough Allen very pleasant.

Disliked: Did not take the short walk into town so cant comment on it. Appeared to be some constuction work going on (vehicles)' but this did not cause a problem. Nearby hotel closed at the moment.
