    Excellent quiet stop here. Fairly level. Out of season so toilet block and water not available. We were the only motorhome. Bit exposed and quite windy. Spectacular views across the water.

  • 5/5

    Bel endroit avec parkings hauts et bas spacieux et parfois plats. Le parking en gravier est plus discret et plat. Toilettes et robinet fermés en cette saison. Seuls durant deux nuits très calmes, sauf vent et tempête sur le lac...

  • 4/5

    Very peaceful spot. Wonderful view across the lake. Fishermen very friendly.

  • 4/5

    Stayed in November so toilets locked and water tap removed - little point parking there with no views, so stayed at the waterside 20m ahead instead. Flat, lovely view of the water and mountain. Inevitably for near a town or village, youths in cars visited but were relatively quiet and gone before midnight. Otherwise very tranquil and serene.

  • 5/5

    lovely and flat, felt very safe. space for large motorhomes.

  • 5/5

    Great little spot. A few swimmers and boaters when we arrived but they soon left Very quiet and peaceful Facilities good but the water tap would not take a hose fitting

  • 4/5

    We stayed in the upper parking area which is set aside for MHs however they do have a slope and in July some had overhanging trees which didn’t work for us. More overnighters down by the lake (best to head past the main harbour as it's used by locals for swimming etc.). Good walk to the town. Tap is a push-button type that spurts 5lt every time so best to top-up your water using a watering can.

  • 5/5

    Amazing stop. Accessible Toilets that are large and very clean. Great pressure in the tap so you can fill your water quickly. Small bin, as mentioned below, please don't leave rubbish next to it.

  • 5/5

    Amazing stop. Donation box in the toilet. Toilets clean, fresh water and beautiful views. Please please keep this spot clean and tidy as it is a little gem. Bins also small so if you can't fit your stuff in the bin please take it with you or make the effort to make sure it is inside the bin. Not placing bags next to the bin please as birds and wildlife will make a mess.

    Un grand merci au Cossmolina commnunity council pour cet espace mis à disposition. Endroit très calme, au bord du lac, table de pic-nique, toilettes très propres et eau potable gratuite. Le council suggère une donation de 10€ pour une nuit passée, largement mérité à notre sens. Bon Trip à Tous !!

    Nice and flat, toilets are clean. Had 4g EE signal. Plenty of room. There is a tap on the grass I front of the parking bays

  • 5/5

    Fantastic spot to spend a night! Toilets and water worked fine. Lots of space, both on pavement or on gravel. Nice view and good for a swim.

  • 5/5

    Lovely spot we parked lower down on gravel right next to the waters edge. Few locals came and went, four other campers scattered around.

  • 5/5

    Sehr schöner Stellplatz ohne Schranken. Viele Stellmöglichkeiten auch direkt am Wasser. Freitags leider von vielen Jugendlichen als Treffpunjt genutzt aber unter der Woche sehr zu empfehlen

  • 5/5

    Brilliant spot, plenty of room for multiple campervans. Toilets were spotless, bins at side of toilet building were full but clean everywhere else. Friendly campers and locals. We got Chinese in the local town and it was lovely.

  • 4/5

    Lovely spot to park up overnight, quite a bit if coming and going during evening, some music from the youngsters but quiet from about 9.30pm. 2 other campers there, seemed safe. Toilets and water available, apparently we were unlucky the night we stayed, it's usually very quiet. Yes we would stay again if in area.

  • 4/5

    Tap not working and quite windy but ok spot. Weird interaction with a local who came up to the van and looked in the window…

  • 5/5

    Yes nice and peaceful. Toilets closed but tap working fine. You can swim safely in the Lough here if that’s your thing.

  • 5/5

  • 5/5

    Lovely stop over. Clean and peaceful, designated parking area for campers, toilets and water tap.

  • 5/5

    Fantastic place to park up. The first night we stayed in the designated camper parking bay. We were the only camper in for the night. The next day we moved down to be next to the lough. Beautiful views. the toilets were open from 8.30 in the morning till 10.30 at night. Very clean. please can you pay the 10 euros per night. There is an honesty box in the toilets.

  • 3/5

    1 March 2022 toilets closed . No bins. No water. Quiet. Very high water , safer to park at designated camper parking area. A couple of young guys hanging around .

  • 4/5

    Stayed 10 Nov ‘21. Super spot!! Located at an activity harbour on Lough Conn. Marked campervan spaces in carpark area but we stayed down at the waters edge. Toilet facilities were closed and the water point was removed. Some reviews mentioned a €10 fee was no evidence of this, I would guess in the off season there is no charge as the facilities are shut. Peaceful.

  • 5/5

    Lugar idílico frente al lago, con mucho espacio para aparcar. Servicios limpios y agua. Estuve un sabado por la noche y no había nadie, el domingo por la mañana tampoco pasó mucha gente. Probablemente de los mejores lugares de Irlanda.

  • 5/5

    Een zeer fijne locatie om te staan aan het Meer. Je kan er zwemmen, vissen, kanoën,...of gewoon lekker genieten van het uitzicht. WC's komen ze elke dag poetsen, in de gang staat er een donatiebox als je de camperplaats gebruikt. Op 20 min te voet ben je in het dorp.

  • 5/5

    A quite spot with water and clean toilets

  • 5/5

    Fabulous place to stay. Very quiet & Clean. Well worth 10 euros

  • 4/5

    Very good place to stay for the night. Toilets are very clean, picnic tables, night lights and CCTV. Toilets closed about 10:30pm and reopened in the morning. Watertap on site with no hose connection but extremely high pressure. Its free to stay but there is a donation box in the bathrooms. Extremely quiet at night once people leave the lake. Went swimming in the lake very calm waters.

  • 5/5

    Really nice quite area, toilets were closed and no tap.

  • 5/5

    Excellent place to stay for the night. Well maintained - toilets very clean, picnic tables, night lights all around the site and CCTV. Its free to stay but there is a donation box. Beside the lake and you can swim at the pier.

  • 5/5

    Magic spot, very well maintained area, toilets clean, water point available. CCTV camera and lightning. Well done to local community.

  • 5/5

    Nice quite parking but toilets are locked out of season.

  • 5/5

    Very quiet. Nice view over the lake. The toilets were perfectly clean. We were the only visitors during that night. A sign asks for a 10 Euro donation for maintenance. Defenitely a 5 star place.

  • 5/5

    Très bel endroit. Robinet d'eau sans filetage. Toilettes fermées la nuit

  • 4/5

    Très bien placée au bord du lac . plat avec sanitaires et robinet d'eau. mais non signalée par des panneaux .... nuit très calme.

  • 5/5

    Des places aménagées avec vue sur le lac, des toilettes bien entretenues, un lieu exceptionnel, très calme.

  • 5/5

    Camping here this evening. We drove down to the area in front of the lake next to the boat ramp. I’ve only had one car do a burn out so far. This would be a beautiful spot on a sunny day. We’ve been joined by a handful of other vans down here and on the site above. Our van is 3m high and we didn’t see any restrictive bars to get in.

  • 5/5

    Was worried reading some of the other comments but no problems.....toilets open and clean....water tap and really quiet..highly recommended

  • 4/5

    Très bel endroit et très calme, on peut se garer tout au bord du lac. Les toilettes étaient fermées. Ce lieu est aménagé et autorisé pour les camping-cars.

  • 4/5

    04/04/2019 aire agréable, ce jour WC et service fermés, je pense qu'il ouvre en saison

  • 3/5

    No water anymore. The toilets are closed and it seems to be a place for couples without a house for sex in cars until 23. By the rest is quiet and safe.

  • 5/5

    Quiet and safe location by the lake. Spaces for six motorhomes. Toilets and water available. Picnic bench and nice views of the hills and lake. Excellent for a night or two.

  • 5/5

    Avons passé la nuit le 6 juin 2018. A 2 km de Crossmolina en retrait de R315 sur lake raod. Très belle aire, rareté en Irlande, avec dalle spéciale pour camping-car, à plat, robinet d'eau et possibilité de vider la cassette dans les WC publics. Moins pratique pour vider les eaux grises. Assez passant dans la journée et le soir.

  • 2/5

    Arrived at site an hour later groups of kids arrived with cases of beer seems to be local drinking spot so we moved on. Would not stay there.

  • 5/5

    Vraiment un joli endroit, robinet d'eau et deux toilettes handicapés. pas mal de passage des riverains en journée

  • 5/5

    Endroit très bien aménagé et agréable, les toilettes étaient fermés et nous pensons que l'arrivée d'eau extérieur était coupée (en mars). Nuit très tranquille.

  • 5/5

    Beautiful views of the Lough and cctv operation in place. Bins and toilets facilities, although toilets where locked not sure if this was because of the time of the year

  • 4/5

    Beau coucher de soleil sur le lac. Lieu propre et très bien aménagé.

    Endroit calme avec jolie vue sur le lac. Grands emplacements réservés camping-car, robinet extérieur et des toilettes.

    Superbe endroit! Nous avons dormi directement sur le quai avec notre camper. Le pêche est bonne les perches sont très grosse! Pas goûter car relâché! Je recommande vivement!

  • 4/5

    Arrêt superbe. Attention prendre la route fléchée vers le lac, je me suis fais avoir en traversant une école via une petite route privée

  • 5/5

    Très bon emplacement. Parfait !

  • 5/5

    Très bien ! Je confirme les commentaires précédents, ne pas hésiter à s'y arrêter. Il est miraculeux d'avoir un tel endroit dans ce pays de plus gratuit. Le robinet d'eau extérieur fonctionne.

  • 4/5
