About Flesk Water Camping
Secluded camping, touring, and glamping with picturesque countryside views, this eco-friendly campsite is just 15 minutes from the world-famous Causeway Coast and the breathtakingly beautiful Glens of Antrim, meaning there is plenty to see and do nearby. For campers with tents, there are ten grass pitches to choose from, three of which have optional electric hook-ups. For small campervans, there are three hardstanding pitches complete with a fresh water supply and electric hookup. For anyone looking to avoid the hassle of tent pegs, opt for one of the two roomy bell tents, each one sleeping a maximum of six people. These spacious (5m diameter) bell tents have a double futon and the option of adding more if required. Please bring your own bedding. Outside you'll have picnic bench seating. There's the Small Wee Cabin for small families and groups, perfect for four people in a double bed and bunk beds. You'll have both indoor and outdoor seating, as well as your patio. The Big Wee Cabin sleeps up to eight in a double bed, 2+1 triple bunk bed, twin sofa bed and a single sofa bed. This larger cabin is perfect for large families and groups. Finally, there is The Barn for up to five people in a double bed, a pair of bunks and a fold-out Z bed in the sleeping area, and ample soft seating if your group chooses to socialise indoors. With hidden lighting and an arched ceiling, this spacious cabin also has its own outside area and is lovely for a hassle-free stay. Venture to The Dark Hedges Trail for some cycling, or biking, or visit the seaside, with beaches just 15 minutes away, including Ballycastle. Responsible dog owners are welcome. A maximum of three dogs are allowed on site on any one night. Owners are just asked to please keep them on the lead at all times (no longer than 2m) while on site and to make sure that they don't pose a nuisance to others. Campfires are permitted but only in the site's fire circle.
Camping, touring, cabins and the barn are available all year round. Bell tents are available from Easter until mid September.
There are 11 bathrooms each one complete with a toilet, shower and wash basin. Two of these are wheelchair accessible.

We stayed at Flesk Water Camping for 2 nights in early August 2023. The weather wasn’t great, but it didn’t dampen our spirits. This campsite is probably the best campsite we’ve ever stayed at, in terms of friendliness of the host, services provided and general cleanliness. Andy gave us a warm welcome and showed us round his small but perfectly formed campsite. There is a communal kitchen with 3 gas hobs and 3 washing up sinks. There is also an outside kitchen area. Also included is a communal fridge, kettle and toaster. A real home from home. But the best part of all was that we were assigned our own private toilet, washbasin and shower. Heaven!! Everything is cleaned daily and it just feels very well looked after. Sadly, we didn’t get to enjoy the very thoughtful fire circle, but we hope to use that on our next trip to Ireland. The campsite is situated about 3 miles from Armoy and about 9 or 10 miles from Ballycastle, a lovely wee seaside town. We took the ferry to Rathlin Island and we were not disappointed - it was really lovely with a great 5 mile walk out to Rue Lighthouse, where we saw a wild goat and heaps of wild seals - amazing! The campsite is also very near to The Dark Hedges but we don’t watch Game of Thrones so we didn’t visit. Probably a mistake on our part, but hey ho. Flesk Water is such a special campsite and we wish Andy and his wife all the best in their new venture. Thank you for giving us a wonderful experience!
Really excellent site

We spent two nights at Flesk and we really enjoyed it. The campsite is clean and quite close to a number of lovely towns, as well as pretty close to Coleraine, if you need something larger. Andy is a great host and makes a real effort to ensure your stay is good. The site was clean and the facilities were great, I am used to freezing showers at campsites, but I'm pleased to report that Flesk had lovely warm water! I would definitely recommend this campsite to anyone.

Good location, and had cooker, fridge, your own bathroom/shower during your stay. And Andy is friendly and helpful. Would stay again and maybe try one of the huts esp if it's raining again 😄

Things to do on site and in the Armoy area
For those looking to explore outdoors, Flesk Water Camping is nearby many walking routes including the Moyle Way, the wider Ulster Way and the International Appalachian Trail.
The Dark Hedges (aka Bregagh Road) is a short cycle ride or moderate walk for hikers, taking you to the tunnel of interweaving beech trees. This has become a popular visitor destination since part of the Game Of Thrones TV series was filmed here. In fact, multiple filming locations for the series are within 20-30 minutes of the site - Ballintoy Harbour, Whitepark Bay, Fair Head and more!
For keen anglers, Turnagrove Fishery is just a short five minute drive away and is stocked full of rainbow and brown trout. This put and take fishery is perfect for a spot of fly fishing.
Other nearby activities:
- Shean's Horse Farm (5 minutes)
- Gracehill Golf Course (10 minutes)
- Ballycastle (15 minutes)
- Bushmills Distillery (20 minutes)
