Derrybawn Mountain Lodge

Kedvelték: Back to basics reset on life. Andrew was a fantastic, interesting and knowledgeable host. We felt very welcomed and he was full of top tips for days out and local dining. The site was peaceful and natural in a beautiful national park forest. The local hikes were stunning and the people super friendly. To see my 11 year old skipping with joy and leaving his phone to one side in favour of whittling was a joyful sight.

Nem kedvelték: Nothing. If you go there knowing it’s a wild camping experience you won’t be disappointed.

Kedvelték: Had such an amazing stay. The isolated location was perfect for our country break from the city! Andrew was an extremely welcoming and helpful host… as we we came quite poorly prepared he told us of lots of hikes, swimming spots and opportunities in the local area. The campsite has its own well and the water was the nicest we’ve ever tasted. We were lucky to be the only people on the campsite and enjoyed a wholesome night by the campfire! We will definitely be returning in the future!

Nem kedvelték: The only thing I will say, is if you want to experience Glendalough and Wicklow to its fullest you will need a car.

Kedvelték: Everything! We travelled as a group of x2 families with children. I feel like this is the closest you can get to wild camping, whilst still having the luxury of a guaranteed spot and a toilet! The surroundings are magical with so much to do - walks to Glendalough, swimming in nearby rivers, or just chilling in the beautiful & peaceful camp. If you want to glamp, this is not the best place for that. If you want an authentic camping experience (i.e close to nature), then this is the perfect place. You'll wake up to the sound of birds singing and hens clucking. Andrew was great with the kids, keeping them entertained - teaching them about nature, hunting for fresh eggs. The campsite backs onto the Wicklow way where you can walk directly to Glendalough, with magical views along the way.

Kedvelték: Eco feel, close to nature, very friendly host and not being on a crowded campsite. Great communication from Andrew

Nem kedvelték: Pitch was a bit lumpy (but OK) and felt a bit "random".

Kedvelték: The location was perfect and so close to Glendalough. The host was brilliant and couldn’t have been more welcoming.

Nem kedvelték: The land itself has so much potential would love to see it transformed to what could be an amazing destination stay

Kezelői megjegyzés: Derrybawn Mountain is a forest floor, nature-based pitch, and has no plans to open a commercial campsite. There is a lovely commercial campsite (400 pitches) in Rathdrum, with excellent facilities. For mountain access, forest experience, and trekking from doorstep, visit us any time.

Kedvelték: Friendly informative staff with knowledge of the local area and visitor's attractions. Relaxed atmosphere with a Bohemian vibe. Basic facilities but no surprises, all details were available during the booking process.
