 We stayed over the weekend of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the Olympic Torch Relay in Northern Ireland and therefore it was busy around the site over the weekend.
The site and facilities were very clean and tidy. The attendant was very helpful.
Free wifi. Hit and miss with the connection unfortunately. A separate code is needed for each device you wish to connect and it changes every 24 hours. No problem getting the codes.
The play park just outside the park is great for children of primary school age.
We were on a pitch to the road side of the site. No shortage of traffic but it didn't disturb us or our 7 and 8 year olds and their end of the caravan was nearest the road.
Terrific views of Belfast Lough.
Sometimes the PIN for the gates didn't work first time but usually did on the second attempt. Issues about PIN security have been mentioned. I didn't notice any people on the site who weren't staying there.
The cafe, literally just outside the gates, is very good. A Spar shop is a short walk up the road.
You are in a great spot for touring around the Antrim coast and north and east Down and the Ards Peninsula.
Plenty of churches nearby (some within walking distance).
We would stay here again.

First time to this site but will not be the last. Only 20 minutes from home but felt like a million miles away.
Site was spotless as where the toilet and shower facilities. Didnt get to use the cafe (well kids had icecream) this time but hope to again.
Lovely walks along the loughshore with picnic tables and greens for taking the ball.
The site was totally secure with keypad entrance/exit had no problem with this and felt I could let my 3 1/2 year old have a little freedom, as she couldn't get of site. Play park was great for kids up to age of 11/12 with plenty of seat for parents to take the weight of.
Lots to do locally from shopping to sightseeing, Belfast zoo, cavehill country park, carrickfergus castle to name a few.
Yes its on a busy road but I knew that therefore it didn't bother us.
Hoping to use this site for lots of weekends.

Brand spanking-new site, really excellent facilities, nice range of information leaflets. Beautifully clean and well-appointed toilets, washroom, etc. The term 'Sluice' was a little unfamiliar to us (for the chemical waste disposal room). Don't be fooled by the extra-long pitch marked 'motorhome' at the far end - its obviously for just one extra-long American RV ! Very helpful Attendant.
Excellent Children's Playground right outside the gate (very busy on the Saturday afternoon of course !). Very secure site, punch-in code for everything.
Great views across Belfast Lough. The 'beach' is really only for paddling, if the tide is right - but the rest of the park is great for walking the shore-line. Cafe was only a yard from the gate. Bus stop right outside about 50 yards from the gate, into Belfast, or Larne, Carrickfergus etc, the other way. Timetable a little tricky to follow. Jordanstown Rail station about 15 minutes walk, but good rail service. Easy on-line booking facility and help-line for the Site.
The only drawback is traffic-noise, as its right alongside the A2 major road into Belfast. Since the very short trip to the Docks (7 miles) was the major reason we went there, it would be churlish to complain too much.

Found overall very satisfied with stay. Many attractions within a short drive, facilities very good. Only bad points, access code problems with gate, as in that code had to be entered several times for gate to open sometimes. Also wifi code had to be obtained from attendant every day as it changed every day, and also it only operated one device ie If you had as I a laptop and an iphone you had obtain a further code from attendant which again only lasts one day.
Great views over Belfast channel with P&O ferries entering and exiting also views of planes landing and taking off from George Best airport. We were very fortunate to have a live fireworks display over the titanic building during our stay which is just visible from site.

As this site is only minutes away from my home and recently developed, I decided to have my first run out for the season to see how my caravan coped over the winter.
First impressions, the site is clean and tidy, the pitches themselves are of a good width although lacking in lenth even for a 4 berth never mind my new twin axle.
Water hook up meant a trip out for an adapter as I did not have the correct fitting for these type of taps, this is the first time seeing these but a 2 minute drive up the road to the caravan shop sorted that out.
Electric hook up was fantastic, no trips over the 3 days (max stay)and the heater, kettle and iron on at one stage.
Waste, I ran my waste pipe down the drain beneath the water tap.
Shower block was new, clean and warm (no hair dryer ladies), showers are fast and free and had no issues with them running cold but there was nobody in to clean the showers/toilet while we had our stay, sluice room clean and heated also.
There was no warden on site that could be seen, but any problems and you could text them and they would always answer.
WI FI would not connect on our stay, although free, very free in my case!
All gates and doors are key pad, but I did notice people coming in and using the toilets, picking up footballs kicked over from the park ect, are these codes not changed every so often? a major lack in security.
You are beside a main road (behind your site) and you will have a lot of road noise nearly all through the night, but your in Belfast, expect it.
The area is a very very public place, not the usually quite spot with a few tourists, expect the area to be packed especially on a summers day.
Coffee shop next down is clean, tasty and busy as with the kids park directly infront of the caravan park, there is no lights outside the caravan park which is a good point as we didn't see anybody teenagers hanging around the park once dusk came.
Kids loved the park and beach, okay for a stop over.

We stayed three nights which is the new maximum length of stay.
The site is next to a play park which is great for kids and very good cafe. Spar supermarket within walking distance.
The facilities are excellent - all very new and efficient. They are all controlled by a PIN code,
Booking is very easy when done online. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
The only downside is the location. It is next to the main road so there is a lot of traffic, and some local teenagers do gather in the car park to 'discuss' their cars, but then that is what you should expect if you are this close to the main city.
It is an excellent base if you want to do things in Belfast and we would come here again.

Stayed at the new park. This was a great experience and a real change from the old park. Great facilities, great location. The entire site was excellent. Booking on line was easy and the staff were friendly.
The showers were good but had a bit of a glitch with hot water which was reported and very quickly resolved, no further problems there. This was the first weekend open.
Over all I would go back to this site without any hesitation.

From the first point of contact on the telephone to the wardens on the actual campsite everyone was extremely helpful and friendly. The location of the site is perfect for access to Belfast city centre which is about 6 miles away, just a short trip by car,or nearby bus and train services.
There is good strong electric hook up, but we couldn't get a television signal through our tele and digibox. Radio was fine and by experimenting with which end of the caravan was best ! we were able to get good phone signals on T- Mobile and on Giffgaff and were able to watch tele programmes on a laptop using a T-Mobile dongle.
There is not at present chemical disposal or waste water disposal on site but because of the washing up area and the separate ladies / gents loos and shower it isn't necessary to use on board facilities. We were a little apprehensive on arrival at the unheated toilet / shower block, but it is very well insulated and the shower was lovely and hot so our worries were groundless even when we woke up to find ice on our fire bucket!
The site is not a quiet one as it's location, which makes it so fantastic, is next to the busy dual carriageway and young people gather in the carpark next to the site of an evening in their cars, but this is the pay off to being in such a wonderfully central location and during the many nights we spent there over our 4 weeks travelling in Northern Ireland ( 2 nights in a row is specified as maximum stay at present ) we were not disturbed by the noises of.
Children would enjoy the play park next door to the site and dog owners have a good coastal path to walk along. A mobile service man saved our skin a couple of times giving great mobile caravan repair assistance and The Bureau Bar Bistro, just 5 minutes walk from the site 637 Shore Road, an award winning eating place gave us one of the best meals we've ever had, washed down with a very good house wine.
We would return to this site in a heartbeat, we loved it and have nothing but very happy memories of staying there.

I'd like to echo the statements below. The site was a great base for visiting Belfast and for £10.50 a night wit hookup it was a steal compared to many sites in Ireland.
We took the train into Belfast from Jordanstown station which is a 15 minute stroll away just up the street across from the site. Follow the sign. The station ticket master was a nice man too. Trains run all day every half hour with returns running until around 11pm.
One thing I was disappointed with was the nearby park which was a mess due to lazy Belfast people festooning it with litter. This must take up 99% of the poor park keepers day cleaning up after the locals. It seem that the Irish like to litter and graffiti given the amount of it around from parks to mountain summits.

This site is an ideal base for touring the North coast.
The caretaker (Roy) was very helpful and friendly.
The shower and 2 toilets were very clean and good water pressure.
The site is small 6 pitches all with EHU, 5x hardstanding 1x grass.
The ocean is visible from the site, just over a grassy area.
A short scenic train ride back to Belfast if you don't want to take the car.
Carrickfergus and it's magnificent castle is just a short journey away. The harbour and shops are worth a visit also.
I will be returning in 2010.
I'm informed there are plans afoot to develop and make it a little bigger.
