Campsites with Boat Launching Facilities or Moorings

Has anyone put a list together of camping sites with on-site Kayak or boat launching facilities? (slip, pontoon, jetty etc)

Not just nearby facilities, but direct access to the water from the campsite... Something along the lines of Lough Ree...

I did a search, but nothing obvious popped up. :up:

If not, (and you know of some), why not add the name of the campsite below so we can get a list going? 8-)

 


I'm aware of two that Aaron mentioned a while back on his youtube channel:

Lough Ree East Caravan & Camping
Lakeside Holiday Park

Lakeside holiday park near Mountshannon. Parsons Green do / used to do small boat trips on the river, you can see the springs bubbling up through the sand, maybe you could launch kayaks there to do your own thing. As all beaches in Ireland are public it's unlikely that you'd get a coastal campsite with it's own slipway. There are probably plenty like Carne Caravan & Camping Park where you have direct access to the beach.

Wavecrest and Mannix point campsites in Kerry are the first to spring to mind when I think of coastal access for kayaking. Yeah, you're probably right regarding slipways. I can't imagine too many with their own.

Does Lough Key campsite? We dropped by a couple of weeks back and strolled around the grounds. We didn’t go in to the campsite so I don’t know if they do.

If it is within kayak dragging distance then it could tick the box

The Aire at Portglenone (River Bann) and also the site at Drumaheglis, also river Bann near Ballymoney. These are slow moving grade 1 (no weirs) River sites.
Also Castlearchdale on Lough Erne. Also that small site a few miles up the road towards Ballinaleck on the Sillees river called riverside marina and campsite.
Loads more to be listed.
