The campsite is in a beautiful location right by the sea. Everything is flat, and when the sun shines, you can enjoy it in the morning and evening. However, the price of €58 + €1 for the shower + €0.50 for hot rinsing (!) is somewhat questionable. The reception was friendly, but not as warm as one might expect, especially in the south.

The location was okay. Everything else was really bad. 80 EUR for a night with a campervan without electricity. The parking spots were extremely uneven. Only the use of the toilet was included in the price. The worst parking spot during our trip around Ireland. Absolutely not recommended and definitely not for 80 EUR a night. 😖

It's Too Expensive.

Sure, we are traveling with 2 people and wild camping is not allowed. €49 is definitely too expensive, even if the location and the pitches are okay. And the friendliness? Well, the lady at the reception wasn't unfriendly. But there was a lack of the warmth that one usually receives in Ireland. You feel like a bother and not really welcome.

Rude and unfriendly fits, and completely overpriced. 1 person in the van: €41, warm water for rinsing €0.50, shower €1 extra. The location of the site is fine.

Expensive... Showering and washing up costs extra. You are placed in two rows here, if the person in front wants to leave, you have to move chairs and tables aside. The showers are just a narrow space with no options to store anything dry.

that I experienced during my 4-week vacation was at the reception of this place. Rude assignment of my plot, no information that the showers are not located in the central sanitary building but at the other end of the site. I travel alone in my camper van, without disposing of any fluids, electricity consumption of 1 kWh/day, and had to pay just as much as a large ship with 2 people, a chemical toilet, TV, air conditioning, oven... My comment that I wouldn’t pay for a ghost was ignored. Never again. The owner of the neighboring site is at least friendly and will see me on my next visit from Galway.

Only the location by the sea is good! But you can't swim. Otherwise, it's expensive (even the warm water for washing dishes costs extra!) and dirty! Leaky urinals, no toilet lids, etc. Very small plots, very cramped... no recommendation!

Frequently asked questions about the campsite Salthill Caravan Park
How is Salthill Caravan Park located and what is the beach like?
The campsite has a fantastic location directly on Galway Bay and offers a beautiful view of the sea. It is only a few steps to the water. However, the roughly 80-metre-long beach area is quite narrow and interspersed with boulders and large pebbles, making it more suitable for walks than for building sandcastles.
What are the pitches like on the campsite?
You can expect flat grassy terrain, where the asphalted pitches for tourists are oriented directly towards the sea. This means you often have an unobstructed view of the water. The pitches range in size from 70 to 110 square metres and each has a 10-amp electricity connection.
Are there any special features on the site that I should know about beforehand?
A useful tip for your stay: some of the pitches are arranged so that you stand slightly offset behind one another. In addition, the showers are located at the other end of the campsite and not in the central sanitary building. You should also be prepared for extra charges for showers and warm dishwashing water.
