 Tidy and quiet. Nothing fancy but everything we needed.
The owner was friendly and welcoming and took the time to speak with his guests.
My 12 year old had a fantastic time, climbing Slieve Donard and sleeping in a tent through gale force winds!
We will return.
Many thanks.

Great little site with amazing views one way upon the hills, the other over the sea.
Basic but adequate amenities. Walking but with good bus service into town
Walk up Slieve Donard starts at side of site.
Not a site for night time revellers

Just back from a 3 day visit to this hidden gem. This was my family's first time out in a tent and must say this was a great start.
Very secluded site with great views, was super quite as there was only 1 other tent on site for our stay. Quite a steep drive up in but keeps it out of they way,
We pitched up on the top field up passed the ablutions, bit of a hill but not to much to bear. Super views and walks around the area.
Toilet block had quite a few bulbs out, but has enough to be functional with plenty of hot water for showers and separate dishwashing facilities.
Stand pipe at tent site as well. Strict rules about fires, which is understandable and dogs on leads even though the owner wanders around with 4 dogs off lead of his own.
Rates weren't to bad for the area. Site has no other facilities on it and has strict noise rules and alcohol rules as well which suited us.
No electricity on site at all so it was back to basics for us.

Me and my partner stayed here 1St July for a long weekend. Very quiet when we stayed, was only 3 other people. Toilet shower blocks were great hot water.
Place to clean your dishes, fresh drinking water taps just outside the shower blocks. Views were amazing!
The road up the camp site was a bit trying but understandable due to how steep it it.
There is 3 fields to choose from, we stayed with the views of the lighthouse and mournes just behind us.
Owner was lovely and very helpful. You can have your own camp fire and owner supply you with wood and fire starter which is £10. Which has went up from last year, other reviews said £6.
£12 per tent per night and it was totally worth it.
Was definitely stay again. Everything at your camp site, bloody bridge and the walk.

Very nice, well laid out campsite. All the usual amenities - shower / toilets clean and well maintained.
Splendid views over the sea and out to a lighthouse at night. Great site for climbing slieve donard - the start is almost on the campsite.
I would recommend this campsite to anyone except loud / raucous groups.

We stayed at the weekend. Cracking views. Great spot. Easy found. Pity about the rough track up to the campsite, I think that might put a lot of people off, not us though. Great location. Very busy, granted it was the weekend of the air show and the campsite is just outside Newcastle.
Love the strict no alcohol/music after midnight. Frank is a lovely man. We did hear some very loud music being played from the bottom site (we were at the top)in the day/evening time but thankfully it didn't last very long. We did notice the logs weren't easy to light (must purchase off Frank and use his fire pits supplied).
It was a great campsite, a great trip, stunning views, with the Mournes behind and the sea infront. We did hear people saying they wouldn't use the showers because it was only sectioned off by a curtain and while the male and female parts (2 showers and toilets in both male and female parts) had separate doors they were technically in the same building, so for safety reasons the general consensus was people didn't feel it was terribly wise/safe. Everywhere was clean with soap and toilet paper etc.
The approach up to the showers began to get tricky to walk on in the rain as the area was just hard walked in muck with no grass but if you stick to the edges it's spot on.
We will definitely be back and very much looking forward to it.

Hauntingly beautiful campsite, with the mountains behind you and the seashore just a stroll down the hill and across the road. The campsite is a hidden jewel, coming up from Newcastle look out for the Bloody Bridge car park on the left. The entrance to the campsite is just past the 2nd exit to the car park. There's a white gate but nothing to say its the campsite.
The Bloody Bridge trail starts right next to entrance to campsite. Go up the steep, stony road then follow the signs and pitch wherever you like. Frank the owner will come and check in around 6. 30-7pm and sell you wood for the braziers which are in fact in good nick and excellent for BBQ's if you've got your own grills.
The toilet block/showers are clean and pleasant with instant hot water. Dishes must be washed in the sink at the back of the block. It is a clean and very natural campsite.
The views are incredible. At night you can see the lighthouse down beyond Newcastle We had sunny weather with only some rain and wind. We were very sorry to leave but will definitely go back as it was probably the best campsite we've stayed on.

Spent 2 nights here in early May. Paid £6 per person per night. The campsite is in a beautiful location with the sea just below and at the base of the Mourne mountains.
There are 2 toilets and showers for females and they are very basic. It was windy and wet a lot of the time during our stay but we also had a day of perfect sunshine and enjoyed lunch at a picnic table of which there were several on site. We didn't go for a fire although we had planned to because the fire pits that we saw dotted around the site were very rusty.
The seaside town of Newcastle is 2. 5 miles away and has many little shops and cafes. I would recommend this campsite if you are looking for a back to nature experience.

As mentioned by others, the approach is interesting! But follow the 'wee man's' instructions and you shouldn't have a problem.
We arrived at dusk in the rain. Next morning woke to sunshine and splendid views - great location. Stayed longer than intended, just because we liked it.
Facilities very clean and pleasant, might get a bit crowded if the site was full.
We go camping to get away from it all and this site does just that.

My son and I had our first camping experience at Mourne Camping and it made it go a lot more smoothly than I had anticipated. The site is very clean and tidy. The entrance is very tricky and we did miss it at first. My only complaint would be the road up to the site, the potholes are very big and really could do with being filled in.
The views from this site are beautiful with the sea in front of you and the mountains behind.
The facilities are very clean and tidy and the owner is very thorough about keeping the toilets stocked up with toilet roll, handwash and paper towels.
It was also very good to know that the site is very well patrolled by the owner regularly through the day and evening, he is always on the end of the phone should you require anything.
We enjoyed it so much that we are heading back there this weekend again and can't wait.
