 What a place this is on the shore of Bantry Bay.
We stayed in the adults only section (the Meadow) which is near the entrance but quite a distance from the nearest toilet block, its a wonderful walk along the shore each time you have to spend a penny. The 3 toilet blocks are fine and clean. The adults only section is apart from the rest of the site and in our opinion well worth it. The rest of the site is huge, and from the Meadow to the far end of the site and back is a nice and substantial walk. This is a very well run and secure site. No pets allowed.
Quite a few people were wild swimming from the sites own stony beach (I saw a fair few jellyfish and didn't fancy the idea) and there were also lots of boats, windsurfers and sups. There is a tennis court and basketball court.
There is a good handy garage supermarket 5 mins walk from the site and a couple of very nice restaurants a few mins drive towards Bantry.
The site is nearly midway between the wonderful large town of Bantry and the equally wonderful small town of Glengarriff, from where ferries leave to the island garden of Garinish. There are too many places to go to list them all, but Garinish, Bantry, Bantry house and garden, and the forests of nearby Glengarriff and farther Gougane Bara are all unmissable imo. Also conveniently placed for each of the peninsulas of Beara, Sheeps Head and Mizen and also Baltimore town for ferries to the West Cork islands and whale watching trips. There is a good drive through a valley to Kenmare town in Kerry.
One of our Top 8 sites in Ireland.

This site is in an amazing location. We visited Bantry and took a boat to Whiddy Island.
Only things we did not like were the fact that the electricity supply is only 6 amps, and the number of showers is low, considering the size of the site

We opted for a pitch with EHU and were given a choice of pitches, all flat, well drained and well marked. Facilities are spotless and the views are amazing. Next time we will go without EHU to take advantage of the pitches right at the waters edge.
Top marks to the owners who give excellent advice about the surrounding area and are always ready to give you their time. Our sat nav took us over the hills which is the quickest route to Ballylickey but not very good if you have a car sick daughter. When leaving we opted to go via Bantry which is longer but has less windy roads.

This was our second time staying here for the mayday weekend and the second time we have come away very impressed.
The washrooms and all the facilities are always kept immaculate, the people are very friendly and the setting is fantastic - you could ask for very little more. We have 3 small children and they love this site. We stay at the non ehu pitches to be closer to the sea, and literally pitch 5 yards from the beach!
I would highly recommend this site.

This campsite was the best l’ve ever seen. The owners were really lovely and helpful and nothing was any trouble. We got our own plot to set up our tent and there was excellent drainage grooves. The facilities were excellent. Free hot showers and an excellent camper’s kitchen, 5 cent for hot water though. The toilets and showers were immaculate! Not a spider web in sight! Plenty of soap, toilet rolls and bins. Separate area for cleaning your teeth and washing your face. What struck me about this campsite is that everything was working and everything was well stocked up! Plus, there were a lot of French, Dutch, German, English, Italian, and Irish of course. Everyone who stayed here was friendly and everyone spoke to each other. The location was excellent. We were right on the coast and could walk from our tent to the water. Really nice.
I would definitely stay here again. Super site.

We have just returned from a week touring around Co. Kerry and this campsite was one of our stops. I can say without doubt that this site was by far the best we stayed in. The site is mostly used by locals with seasonal pitches so they are quite particular about keeping it nice. It is very clean and quiet and the location is spectacular.
We were situated under a tree more-or-less right at the waters edge. My daughters loved it here and spent hours rummaging around the rock pools over the other side. The toilets were lovely and clean although the showers were scorching hot even to the point of us not being able to get under. I was told by someone else that they go there every year and they had never been that hot before, so maybe it was a one off.
There is no shop but we never found this a problem as we were well stocked up arriving there. We only booked for one night but enjoyed it so much that we booked an extra night.
I met a chap who told me to go on a boat trip to Garnish Island from Glengariff and you get to watch the seals on the way. There are tourist companies running these trips from the side of the road but if you go a bit further on to Ellens rock you will find a really lovely guy running trips from his little open boat. We could drag our hands in the water on the way and had the boat to ourselves - it was really nice and would definitely recommend this guy instead of the larger tourist companies where you are on a covered boat with 20 other people. Would I stay here again??? Absolutely!

Having just completed a 17 day tour of Ireland, our itinerary included a stop at Eagles Point and we were not disappointed. The site is right on its own peninsular and has many private beaches. The site has a large amount of seasonal pitches, dogs are not admitted and bike riding around the site is not allowed.
I did think the €30 per night pitch fee was a little on the high side but for that we got a pitch 20 feet away from the waters edge which was awesome. Combine this with the scorching weather we had, our overall stay was memorable. The hotel in the village is now derelict but there is another pub 20 minute walk away but only reached by the busy main road.
The filling station opposite the site caters for all your essentials but they don’t sell liquor! Bantry is a nice typical Irish waterfront town which has a market on a Friday. Our next stop after Eagles Point was on the Ring of Kerry and we drove there over the mountains via Glengarriff and Kenmare. This is a fantastic scenic drive even though the roads are a bit narrow. Go and enjoy.

The campsite is quite formal with marked pitches and separate areas for tents, motorhomes and caravans. It is immaculately kept and the toilet blocks are well maintained.
The best point about this site is the fantastic view out over the water (I think it is the mouth of a river as it opens onto the sea). There are yachts moored next to the site and there is a slipway for launching boats.
The site doesn't have its own shop but there is quite a large supermarket attached to the petrol station immediately opposite the entrance.
The nearest town is Bantry which is quite picturesque and has a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants. But it is too far to walk.
We went down to the hotel/pub which was the only place to eat in the village. It was serving large meals which were good value and fine for carnivores, but the vegetarian wasn't very nice. The building was due to be demolished to make way for a new hotel so things might be going up market quite soon.
We were only able to camp at the site for one night but would like to have stayed longer.

I have stayed at many lovely camping sites throughout the UK and in Ireland, but I have no hesitation in saying that Eagle Point is easily the nicest one I know.
The setting on a small peninsula in Bantry bay is most spectacular. The site occupies the whole of the peninsula so you are never far away from the sea - in fact, right next to it in most cases. Consequently campers have direct access to a relatively sheltered part of Bantry bay with plenty of opportunity for kayaking, swimming, fishing, and so on. We easily and happily spent hour just marvelling at the beauty of the surroundings.
In addition to its fantastic setting, the site is well run, clean and quiet and has good pitches as well as friendly owners/staff. A well stocked shop at a small service station nearby provides most essentials (including fresh bread every morning). The town of Bantry caters for most of the remaining needs of campers, including bigger supermarkets, shops, pubs (with live music) and restaurants, and is only a couple of miles away.
The toilet blocks are entirely adequate, well kept and cleaned regularly. Showers are hot and free and campers have access to electricity in the toilet blocks to recharge those essential battery run electric gadgets that tend to give up after a week of tenting without recharging. A freezer is also available.
Eagle Point is also a good basis for touring the West of Ireland - the Ring of Kerry, the equally impressive Ring of Beera, Killarney, the beautiful Sheep's Head peninsula and other areas of great natural beauty are within relatively easy reach.
I would definitely recommend this camping site to anyone who seeks a well-run, clean and quiet camping site in a spectacular coastal setting.

This was one of the best campsites we have been to. The children were able to explore all the little coves, the facilities were kept very clean, the sunsets were spectacular and the people were very friendly. It is quite exposed but worth it to have your own little beach. Sealwatching nearby, pub down the road, spectacular scenery - what more could you want.
