Camp Sites in County Leitrim

Tucked away in the North West of Ireland, enjoying the relaxed rhythm of Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands and the untamed spirit of the Wild Atlantic Way, is the wild and spectacular county of Leitrim.  Leitrim is a rural haven for families, explorers and slow adventurers who cherish a slower pace of life and spending quality time in the great outdoors for all the family to enjoy.

With its lush greenery, rugged mountains and majestic lakes, there are so many beautiful places to go to in Leitrim.  Hag’s Leap is Ireland’s highest freestanding tower.  You could take some time to explore the River Shannon from one of the fun trails along the Shannon Blueway and you will find the cascading waterfalls of Fowley’s Falls, Glencar and Pól an Eas extraordinarily invigorating. From authentic rural Irish villages to the busy county town of Carrick on Shannon – with its variety of shops, restaurants, cafés, lively music scene and beautiful theatre – there really is a lovely blend of traditional and modern Ireland to be found in Leitrim
