Welcome to Mannix Point Camping and Caravan Park.
We are situated on the Gulf Stream coast in South-West Kerry and on The Wild Atlantic Way, The Ring of Kerry, Skellig Ring and Dark Sky Reserve.
In 2018 they celebrated 35 years of providing memorable experiences of Camping in Kerry for visitors and friends from 5 continents.
Have you been there yet? Many people return to Mannix Point year after year.
Beware: One holiday here can result in a lifetime of return visits!
Situated at the edge of Europe, this tranquil park with 500 metres of waterfront is spectacularly located. It is surrounded on three sides by hills and mountains and faces the Atlantic islands of Valentia and Beginish on the south west. It is described in prestigious travel guides as “one of the best campsites in Ireland”; “one of our best addresses”; “a nature lovers paradise” and much more.
Mannix Point was opened as a Camping and Caravan Park in 1984. It was very small and very basic. Everyone said “Don’t change anything. It’s perfect”. Each year since then I made changes and each year people said “This is perfect. Don’t change anything”. In another twenty years it may be “perfect”. We’ll see!
Mannix Point is a special place. That’s not just my biased opinion. Mannix Point has won fifteen national and international awards including The Award of Excellence and The Best Welcome in Europe.
Your well-behaved dogs are welcome and there is ample exercise space for them along the foreshore. On the park they must be kept on leads.
Open Times
Easter to September
You will find a full range of facilities here. Hygiene and cleanliness are high on our agenda. I have been a walker and camper all my adult life and I know how important it is to step in to a clean, hot shower. The laundry is equipped with two commercial washing machines and two commercial driers plus a sink for hand washing. Clothes lines are available outside. Washing up facilities, with continuous hot water, are also in this room. The Camper’s Kitchen is well equipped with crockery and pottery plus cookers, microwave fridges and freezer. (These facilities were not available when I was camping!) The adjoining dining room is comfortable and spacious.
The impeccably clean on-site facilities include a cosy campers’ sitting room with turf fire in the evenings which is renowned for impromptu music sessions. There are no pool tables, no television and no video games. There is a campers’ kitchen and dining room with cookers, microwave, fridges and freezer plus a BBQ and picnic area. The laundry has automatic washers and dryer and the washing-up area provides continuous hot water. There are two fully equipped bathrooms including a hairdressing area in the women’s room. The office and reception which is open daily from 9am until late provides an extensive range of information for visitors.
