Rams Island

Rams Island is a small island sitting in Lough Neagh, the largest lake in Ireland and the British Isles, located in Northern Ireland.

It is accessible by passenger ferry — the Island Warrior, which departs from Sandy Bay — making it a distinctive backcountry camping destination reachable only by water.

Camping on the island is available for adults, with fees covering both the overnight stay and boat fares.

The island has attracted wild campers drawn to its remote, lake-surrounded setting and the sense of seclusion that comes with sleeping on an island in the heart of Northern Ireland.
