Portsalon Luxury Camping

The north of Donegal is a spectacularly scenic land of cliffs, beaches and green countryside, and is filled with outdoor activities of whatever flavour you fancy, such as horse riding on the beach, sea kayaking around the coast, surfing, strolling, hiking and cycling... It also has over a hundred sea stacks and more climbable rock than the rest of Ireland combined for those who want to clamber. Even in summer, the remoteness of the area means that the local beaches aren't rammed with loads of people, so prepare for some long beach walks and – naturally – a few picnics. The three-mile sandy stretch of Portsalon is just over a mile from Portsalon Luxury Camping and is an utter beaut: so gorgeous it was named as the second most scenic beach in all the world by newspaper folk in the know. Fanad Lighthouse is nearby and has also been voted a beaut by peeps in the know; take plenty of time here to wander around Fanad Head and spot whales, porpoises and dolphins in the waters, and to soak up info on the lighthouse at its small visitor centre. This is hillwalking land too, with Knockalla a couple of miles away and both Errigal and Muckish mountains nearby. Boat trips and watersports are also available locally.
