Great spot ,but things is going to change round it .local are not happy with waste been dumped everywhere. there seems to be a few spoiling it .there is talk about height barriers and no overnight parking signs going up .
Idyllique. Derrière l'aéroport, endroit magnifique, accès à la plage, eau claire, à l'écart. Beaucoup d'espaces et possibilité de camping aussi. Merci de respecter le lieu et la nature. Incroyable !
Idyllic. Behind airport, beautiful spot, access to beach, clear water, out of the way. Lots of spaces and possibility for camping too. Please respect the place and the nature. Incredible!
Idyllisch. Hinter dem Flughafen, schöner Ort, Zugang zum Strand, klares Wasser, abgelegen. Viel Platz und auch die Möglichkeit zum Zelten. Bitte respektieren Sie den Ort und die Natur. Unglaublich!

Overnight camping here without permission from the landowner is trespassing. There is limited parking for 5 CARS. The increase of caravans, campervans and tents over the past few years is ruining the enjoyment, cleanliness and safety of this beach for locals and day visitors. Please do not park here with large vehicles or overnight.

Stunning views of Carnboy Cove and surrounding area. Might be difficult to get a spot in high season with so many caravans parked for the season. No facilities but highy recommend for the beautiful views.
kriale8821/07/2024This is Carnboy Cove which is stunning. Agree with others, lots of empty touring caravans parked up - about 3-4 remaining slots where you could get mostly level! I arrived at lunch on a Wed and was the only camper there but the other spaces were gone by 5. Although farmer next door seems to allow park ups too - worth checking. Popular spot for tourists and locals alike. Very peaceful at night.

Beautiful part of the world with stunning views and lovely beaches. Turn left after the airport and look for a free space at the top of the hill. Caravans dotted about here and there that are there for the season so you can park close to one if nobody at it. Beautiful wheaten bread and home cooking available from the wooden box as you turn left.

Fantastic spot, summer is very busy,but off season is a gem, sandy dunes makes parking safe for rwd ,so don’t worry about taking the path to the right before the harbour. 11mb 4g download on Vodafone

Wunderschöner Platz, mit herrlicher Aussicht, einfach traumhafter Stellplatz. Hier kann man ganz entspannt für eine Nacht oder auch mehrere Tage bleiben. Schöner Strand.

Beautiful place, easy access to the beach, however! today there are approx 12 vans parked randomly with no vehicle's near. I spoke to a couple in another van and they said they are mostly left here until the weekend when they will be occupied. Worth trying to get a spot but it won't be private or quiet during the summer.

No doubt it’s beautiful, however will get very busy (and crowded) on weekends and sunny days. Road in is very narrow (same road in and out).

Beautiful, with some caveats as a parking site. Summer season sees this place completely full (with some vehicles being left the entire summer reducing opportunities for others to enjoy). Large holes (erosion from vehicles) are appearing making access more challenging. Whilst idyllic expect to be parked extremely close to others during peak months or not finding any space at all.

Wahrlich wunderschön! Ab Freitag Abend Wochenend - Betrieb vor allem mit Einheimischen. Also besser von Montag bis Freitag anreisen. Es lohnt sich!!!

Tried to stay Thursday November 24th but it was too windy. Very open to the elements so very weather dependent. We parked on the town.
KA925/09/2022Never seen anything like this. Best spot for wild camping! An amazing hidden gem in breathtaking surroundings. Definitely gonna come back!

Really nice spot on the end of the run way with swimming spot and access to a nice walk to Carrickfin
belfastlad27/08/2022what a spot .stayed here a few times lovely beach just the rest of Donegal dont miss this place on your travels. 5 stars.

One of the nicest wild camps yet!!! Quiet and relaxing with its own little beach. Worth a stop.
happyvancamper23/05/2022Beautiful wild camping spot on edge of Carrickfinn Beach. Was pretty busy even in April but really quiet and peaceful at night. Unfortunately some evidence of people burning large campfires in the grass above the beach. Not cool people, burn off the ground and leave no trace.

Beautiful location, must see beach in Donegal. No services.
- RachelDornan18/04/2022
A little piece of heaven. If you can get parked in the bottom piece of grass it is very sheltered but it is a busy spot. Beautiful views.
- jencoighlan19/09/2021
Perfect, quiet, gorgeous community harbour and two lovely beaches, can park out of way of fishermen and other users. No facilities
Joeirish15/08/2021A real gem when not busy.
- Thenudrovers03/07/2021
Incredibly scenic spot with easy access. Quite a few possible parking spots including down to the beach if you are brave enough. If full you can ask the local farmer about parking in his field. No facilities.
