This lies at the foot of the Knockalla Mountains and is run by Colm and Helen Doherty.  It consists of over 100 static vans like mine (top left), four vans for hire, an area for many touring vans and a grassed area for tents.  The site is exceptionally well run and is both very clean and tidy.  For anyone considering visiting the area, I can thoroughly recommend the site.

It lies on the Fanad Peninsula about 20 miles north of Letterkenny, the main town in Co.Donegal.  There are superb views, across Lough Swilly to Inishowen Peninsula and Malin Head, and out into the North Atlantic.

The beach is only about 1/2 a mile away and is always clean and never busy.  Very close by is an 18 hole golf course which is currently being extended.
