Castlewellan Forest Park - Camping

Castlewellan Forest Park Camping sits within a 460-hectare park in County Down, Northern Ireland, managed by Newry, Mourne and Down District Council.

The campsite offers both tarmac and grass pitches for tents and touring caravans, with facilities including toilets, showers (some wheelchair accessible), and fresh water. Bookings can be made online through the Visit Mourne tourism website.

The setting is hard to beat — pitches lie near Castlewellan Lake, with the Mourne Mountains forming a dramatic backdrop.

From camp, guests have easy access to 27 km of mountain bike trails, a pump track, scenic walking routes, fishing, canoeing, and the Peace Maze, one of the world's largest permanent hedge mazes.

It serves as a well-placed base for exploring both the forest park's own attractions and the wider Mourne Mountains region.
