We stayed in a tent during second week of TT, just me and my girlfriend. We pitched our tent in the large field near the road.
The owners were friendly and we were told we could pitch anywhere. First night was noisy to say the least. Why people have to spend all night reving bike engines I don't know.
The facilities were basic and the four showers for men and woman were inadequate.
Plus side. Cafe was good and the marque with bands on was a good idea. Also bus stop outside and fabulous taxi service made getting around easy.
In summary if we're honest we wouldn't stay here again.
Management response: This review is incorrect - it states that we have only 4 showers - we have 4 ladies Showers and 9 gents showers! If he had spoken to us, we could have shown him the facilities and dealt with the noise problem- as we have a warden on duty 24/7 for the TT period.

I visited this site with my three year old son in August 2011. As we don't have a car we found it very useful having the bus stop right outside the campsite. We arrived quite late to find a welcome pack waiting in reception for us with local information and a bus timetable which was very helpful. The toilets and showers were always very clean and the site was well maintained. The owners of the site really went above and beyond, lending us spare sleeping bags and airbeds to keep warm and comfortable and when the weather was really bad they even left us a note by the tent telling us one of their 'pod huts' was free that night and to ring if we needed it, we did and had a fantastic and exciting night in there. I would definitely recommend this site to anyone, we are intending to return and can't wait!

What a great place to camp for the TT. I travelled in from Colorado in the US, and was treated wonderfully from the moment I arrived.
Everyone was very friendly, and a lively atmosphere prevailed. For the race fortnight, they provided live music every night, and food and drink available throughout the day.
The showers and toilets were kept cleaan, and there was always someone at the office to help out with whatever you might need.
They even provided outlets at the office to re-charge your electric gear.

Arrived very late on the ferry from Liverpool, and received excellent and easy to follow directions from the owner by phone. We met the following morning and arranged a 3 night stay.
Excellent value for money, beautiful rural setting. Clean shower block, ample hot water and well lit at night. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners - and on the 4th day we added another night with no problems.
Close to Douglas, public transport right outside. Hard pitches good for vans and plenty of field spaces for tents.
It was quiet when we there with room to spread out. Definitely recommend.

We stayed for four nights in the big field - for those of you staying here for the TT - we had the big field to ourselves!
Great site - facilities basic but always very clean, good hot showers.
If you get the chance to meet Peter, you are in for a treat!
Good position, close to Douglas but definitely 'in the country' - Spar shop just down the road in Union Mills - we will stay there again on our next visit. Looked at some of the other sites on the island but this seemed to be n the best position - we visited the north and south tips of the Island, climbed Snaefell and had a great stay.

We found Glenlough through this website's wonderful search facility, booked immediately and stayed at Glenlough for TT fortnight.
The site is right on the TT course, the bus stop is at the site entrance and the pub's a gentle saunter down the hill. There are four camping areas - the big field where you pitch wherever you want, the quieter field and the family field and an area in front of the office.
We didn't get to meet the owner until the day before we were due to leave but there always seemed to be someone in the office if you needed to ask for anything. Everyone was very friendly and laid back. There was a takeaway on site and the food smelt lovely - but by the time we got back most nights they were closed. They had entertainment on race week in the big tent in the big field which was great but as we were marshalling early in the mornings it made getting to sleep a little difficult.
The site is pretty level apart from the field at the other side which slopes downhill. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the toilets and showers looked brand new and were always clean and the water was always hot which was amazing considering how many people were on site. There were no special facilities for children but it was TT fortnight, the few children on site seemed to enjoy running around and riding on their pushbikes. The walk from the bottom of the site is lovely on a sunny day.
I'd recommend this site to anyone visiting the island, it was excellent in every aspect. We've already booked for 2011 :D
