Blarney Caravan and Camping Park is a four-star family-run park situated eight kilometres from Cork city and three from Blarney village, but it’s secluded and peaceful enough to feel you’re in the middle of the country. There’s loads of open space for ball games, as well as a smartly-maintained play area and an 18-hole pitch and putt course (extra charge applies).

The park is gently sloping and well sheltered, with views of Blarney Castle and the surrounding countryside.

Facilities at Blarney are immaculate, from the free showers to the camp kitchen, and it’s all neatly laid out among well-maintained grass and spacious pitches. Hard-standing pitches come with electric, a campervan service area and if you’re bringing a tent you can pick your own pitch in the separate camping area. There’s also free wifi on site. A regular bus service runs from Cork City to Blarney Village.
