 Good location in Laxey with 5 minute walk to the beach and 10 minutes to Laxey village.
Very clean shower and toilet area along with a large kitchen area for all to use.
All visitor attractions in the area walkable.

Handy site for the tram stop is just up the road. The site has showers toilets and a good kitchen (never used it)
site is next to a school so expect noise at times
easy walk to laxey for pubs shops and the beach.
By chance we found a butcher van and someone selling fruit and vegetables on a Wednesday on laxey prom.

A few days spent camping at Laxey in late july. Lovely location and friendly warden. Unfortunately though the site was too full. The maximum number of units accepted here 'by order of Laxey village commissioners' is 20. Over thirty tents and a number of campervans meant the limited facilities simply could not cope and were busy and dirty. The site was signed as 'full with bookings only'. Why accept so many over the stated limit (near 40 units, not 20)? Spoilt out enjoyment of what could be an excellent site.

What a find! We absolutely loved this campsite. The warden, John was great - extremely friendly and knowledgeable, there every morning, yet not in your face. We have never seen a campsite with a well-equipped kitchen attached. There was no need to bring our stove, crockery, cutlery or pans! There was a cooker, 2 microwaves, 2 fridges and a freezer. The fridges were very handy for keeping our milk in, during a hot spell. It was nice to wash up in a proper room for a change. There were tons of tourist information brochures to read and a small library of books to borrow. The shower block was great for me as I was the only female on the site, but it may have been a bit frustrating if a queue of men were waiting for the one male shower. However I believe that John proposes adding new shower facilities for next year. The site pitches were very well-maintained and you could pitch up where you liked. There were some nice benches/chairs near to the kitchen and the waste was well-organised and clearly sorted into recycling bins. John let us have electric hook-up with our extension cable, which he ran under a rubber cover, as it went across his hard standing and driveway. It was a short walk to the local pub and the harbour. A quiet site on a no-through road with the only sounds being from the birds and the traditional railway in the distance. We would definitely recommend this site highly and hopefully will return in the not-too-distant future. Thank you John for your great hospitality

We have just returned from the island, having spent 11 nights camping at Laxey Campsite. Wish we could have stopped longer.
The site itself is in the centre of Old Laxey, situated off a dead-end road - so no passing traffic! There is a small co-op in the village, but its quite a way from the site if walking. There are pubs, a restaurant and a launderette close by, and an ice cream shop on the promenade, which is a short walk away.
There is a sports field and park/skate park in the valley below the site, accessed directly via a wooden boardwalk. Also, next door to the site is the village primary school. When the school is closed, children can play in the playground.
The site is mainly level, and drains well when wet (luckily we didn't see a lot of rain, though this meant getting tent pegs into the ground was a challenge). The kitchen has everything you could possibly need - and more besides - a cooker and hob, microwave, fridges, freezer, sink, cutlery, crockery, pots, pans and cups. Only the one sink for washing up but its a small, friendly site, so you can chat with your neighbours whilst waiting.
The toilet block is small, with only one shower per sex though, again, as the site is small, we rarely had to wait.
The warden does a fantastic job keeping all the facilities clean and in good order. He's extremely friendly and can often be found wandering around the site chatting to people.
If relying on public transport, the main Douglas to Ramsey road is a short uphil walk from the site, with regular buses to and from Douglas. The Manx Electric Railway station at Minorca is a bit nearer, with a regular tram service between Douglas, Laxey and Ramsey.
This was our second visit to the site, and we are looking forward to returning next year.

This is a small campsite in the picturesque village of Laxey. The campsite is in the center of the village and is a short walk away from a selection of pubs, an Italian restaurant, a co op and a launderette. There is also a playground by the site which can be reached by a wooden walkway.
The campsite is a small site and therefore only has one shower per sex. The biggest plus point of this site is the kitchen. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of pots, pans, crockery, cutlery etc for campers to use. There is also an oven for campers to use and several fridges. There is a large table to sit at and even a highchair for younger campers! The warden was ever so helpful and has even provided a bookcase with a wide selection of books and a large range of tourist leaflets. He really has thought of everything.
The only downside to this site is Laxey is built in a steep glen so people who aren't keen on walking up hills or have young children may want to bear this in mind.

A great campsite ideally located for exploring the Isle of Man. Facilities were very good, with a fantastic kitchen/dining area complete with utensils, tourist info etc, all free to use and perfect for hiding out in when it rained.
Pitches were good and the campsite was astoundingly well priced! The bathroom block was clean and tidy. Although there was only one shower in each sex block, the campsite really isn't that big so another one wasn't that necessary. I could imagine that's a different story in TT season!
John, the warden, was great and definitely deserved the customer service awards he has on display. Couldn't be faulted!
Pubs and a Coop were within walking distance, as was the beach and harbour. The electric railway and mountain railway were also within a five/ten minute walk. An adventure playground was just around the corner for children to enjoy.
Really enjoyed our stay and would happily return there if ever visiting the island in the future.

Visited for 12 nights in June and although we had some very wet days the campsite stayed pretty dry and drained quickly.
Great find, this site must have the best equipped kitchen ever - full size cooker, fridges, freezer, microwave, pots, pans, crockery, cutlery in fact everything as well as the kitchen sink!
John was in evidence daily checking that everyone was OK. Lovely area, very central for anywhere on the island, handy Spar in the village and not too far to Douglas for more serious shopping.
Showers and loos a bit outdated but ample for the size of the site and free to use. Would definitely recommend.

We too were on the Quarry Road Campsite in April 2012, spending 12 nights there, probably at the same time as the 'Manx Fairy' reviewer but we didn`t make contact. I can only endorse what he/she said about the site. Small, with a very slight slope, so well equipped in the kitchen, almost home from home and if you want to know anything, ask the Warden, a mine of information.
We will be returning in June next year.
Regarding the Island, we found the locals friendly, helpful, hardly any parking restrictions to complain about, no graffiti or rubbish ( can you believe it! ), it was a combination of Cornish beaches and Lakeland hills
