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Showers and loos a bit outdated but ample for the size of the site and free to use.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

We stayed here for 3 days and would definitely recommend it. John the Warden, was very helpful and works hard to maintain the campsite. He is a mine of information and although not based on site, is around each morning and can be easily contacted via mobile if necessary.
There are 8 EHU points set on hard standing area and we were keen to secure same for the M/H.
The location is in a lovely area with plenty of walks down to the beach/ promenade, around the headland, to the main village, the Glen Gardens and up & around the Laxey Wheel.
We picked up a range of leaflets from the information room which doubled up as a very well equipped kitchen/ diner. Reminiscent of Youth Hostel facilities but, better! Loads of info' to access here too, and I would imagine that for tenter's/ campers that these facilities would be a godsend. There were plenty of outside tables/ chairs and bench seats, meaning that in the summer months and warmer weather, campers can eat/ relax in comfort.
For anyone with children, there is a play area nearby and within a few minutes down a wooden walkway, there was a tennis court, BMX area and general recreation facilities.
The Shore Hotel, at the bottom of Old Laxey village served Bosun's Bitter which is brewed at the rear of the pub by the Old Laxey Brewing Company. There is a grass seating area at the side of the car park next to the riverbank which would, on a warm day, provide a lovely setting for relaxing & enjoying a drink or two. It was raining on the day we popped in for some respite from the weather and we were warmly welcomed in the lounge by a real coal fire and generous hospitality.
We caught the electric tram to Ramsey on one day - £20 return for two of us (seemed steep, but was definitely worth it, as the views were amazing) - approx. 45 minutes journey. The tram stop (called Minorca) is a stones throw away from the site. On another day we caught the bus to Douglas - easy uphill walk to the bus stop a few minutes away from the site, this took approx. 30 mins.
Access to the site is down a narrow lane but do-able. Any outfit longer than 7m may find it a tad difficult. The site is only a 25 minute drive from the ferry terminal and in an ideal position to explore most of the island from.
Cost was £17 per night for 2 of us, EHU and M/H pitch.
We will definitely go back, the 3 days we spent there were not long enough.

This site is a gem for those after good old fashioned and friendly camping. It is tucked down a lane in the village, with a primary school on one side a few houses on the other.
Good points:-
Small site, with flat sheltered pitches.
Clean, free, hot electric showers and loos.
Fantastic kitchen/diner with table, chairs and cooker, fridges, freezer and lots of pots, pans, cutlery and crockery all of which you can use whilst on site.
Kitchen/diner is full of tourist info and has the friendly feel of a youth hostel
Within walking distance of Laxey, which is a very pretty village with lots to see and do. The Bay Hotel is great with homebrewed beer and good value, basic food and a friendly welcome. The Mines Tavern is also worth a visit.
Not so good points:-
Only one of these! The shower block is very small, with only one shower per sex and not much room to wait/use the sinks.
Of the three sites we stayed in, this was our favourite and we would definitely go back.
