Nore Valley Park Farm & Campsite

Review

Nore Valley Park continues to impress, and it’s easy to see why I’ve re-endorsed it. The welcome is warm, the team helpful, and operations are smooth as a well-oiled dairy. From the campsite to the hands-on farm park, everything works in harmony, giving families space to breathe, play, and learn. Co-owner Gareth Alcorn brings real grit and heart: raised in Coleraine, he had a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air moment at thirteen when his mum packed him off to the family farm in Kilkenny; that formative season informs today’s brilliant, family-run attraction. Expect friendly staff who know the animals, thoughtful facilities, and a programme that rewards repeat visits through the seasons. It’s polished without losing its soul, and better every year. I cannot wait to see what the next five years bring here, on this trajectory, Nore Valley Park will continue to set the bar for farm parks on the island.

CAMPSITE

Nore Valley Park’s campsite is a model of how a true family operation should feel, warm, organised, and quietly professional. Since my last visit, the facilities have truly stepped up again. Free hot showers and spotless toilet blocks make mornings easy, while generous electric hook-ups serve motorhomes, caravans, and even tents. A state-of-the-art campers’ kitchen, free for all guests, adds real comfort, complemented by a dedicated pot-wash and a handy laundry house. Pitches are level, signage is clear, and staff appear exactly when you need them. But the show-stopper? Site-wide, super-fast Wi-Fi, yes, across the whole park. It’s ideal for planning adventures, streaming a movie, or staying in touch with home. Thoughtful, friendly, and brilliantly run, this is camping done exactly right. Highly recommended indeed.
