Just pulled in, it’s €35 a night including electric.

Basic site.

Few sites now like that.
€35 is too expensive for a night.

Never been but had a quick looking at their website and it doesn't look anything special for the "premium" price tag...

We use to use it but haven't for a few years now, apart from been expensive,try staying on a couple of hours after departure time and you are charged extra again so we never use it now.

€35 for two adults!!! 😲
Prices like that are the reason that people stay ONCE.
There is not a site in the country worth that rate for 2 adults!
€25 three times over is far better than a single 35 euro hit....
It also creates a relationship between owners and campers,hence creating a positive word of mouth.
This carry on has created the opposite effect.
Wake up,greedy site owners!

We had a Craic meet there in 2012 for one night followed by a night at Glennmacnass Waterfall. (First time Glenmacnass was ever added to a POI, swanner lives close by)

I remember Swanners Family paying over €40, we have never went back.

There ain't any site worth that when you consider what u can get a hotel room from.
Hate camp sites in general it's like being penned in hence not into caravans

The reason that site owners have got away with charging these extortionate fees are because caravans have to use these kinds of facilities, we Motorhomers do not have to and can find other places willing to welcome us.

There are a few other sites in the southeastern counties where is would cost near similar, when you buy the shower token, dog admission, etc
Camping Ireland is the main book or Web page, as someone else said earlier, double check the prices before landing.

A work colleague of mine stayed in a site in Galway last week and was appalled that it was something like €35 plus 3 for the dog, 5 if extra adult, 1 for warm water for dishes, 2 for shower etc.. 😎🤑

You forgot the awning Gavster 🤤

Funny thing about this site is a friend goes regular, and says theres an attitude to go with the price,
My question is why the F*** do you go back..........his reply is aah its Galway.
