Have just had a fantastic stay at Ballyness Caravan Park. The site is beautifully kept with spacious fully serviced pitches. The toilet block is immaculate, massive showers, underfloor heating. Internet access is available next to the dishwash and laundry rooms. There is a children's play area. The only fault that I could find with the site is that the pitches are very open and you need your windbreak to ensure that you have some privacy when stepping out of your van. There is a shop on site which sells milk, a few groceries, some camping equipment etc. You have a 3 minute cycle ride (or 10 minute walk) to the nearest Spar shop. The walk into Bushmills is about 15 minutes downhill. The site is about 3 miles from Giants Causeway and there is a cycle track which takes you from Bushmills along by the railway line, through the sand dunes, and across a golf course to the Causeway.

This park is great, first class for touring carvans, no other park in area is as good. Facilities good - heated floors in showers, very clean and tidy, plenty room around caravans, however need to book well in advance - no shop on site.

As has been said in other reviews, this site is something else, staff grounds and location first class.only problem is that you need to book a long time in advance to get a pitch.If only other sites would look at this one, we would all be happier campers. Well done

Site for our maiden trip last year and boy were we happy we started caravanning ! The only problem with this site is you just can't get booked in !! It's that popular and really is a first class site. Ideally located for travelling around the North Coast and exceptionally clean and beautifully presented. No hesitation in recommending....you won't be disappointed unless like us you struggle to get booked back in again !!!

Beautiful peaceful site just outside Bushmills.
Immaculate facilities and very helpful staff.
Kids had a ball - playpark and football field; wildlife ponds with ducks & ducklings and nesting swans at time of visit (Easter).
Not far from Bushmills distillery and town where there are lots of shops, pubs etc. Great base for exploring the spectacular Causeway coast.
