Fantastic stay at Flesk Water Camping

VW-Type Campervan - Hardstanding Pitches (Optional Electric)Aug 2025

Very neat and well-kept campsite with spotless facilities. The owner, Andy, is an absolute star - super friendly and a real local hero with lots of great tips about the area. As it wasn't too busy during my stay, I even had my own private bathroom (there are several available on site). The shared kitchen is clean, tidy, and spacious. Both touring pitches and tent spots are available, and there's a pub within walking distance. I really enjoyed having a fenced private pitch with water and 220V electric hook-up. Would definitely stay again - highly recommended!

A note from the site themselves...

Flesk Water Camping is a campsite that's just a little bit different.

Transformed from an empty field to a tree-filled home for birds and other wildlife, the site offers holidaymakers a peaceful haven in harmony with its surroundings.

The idea sprang from a deep-rooted environmental awareness and an approach which seeks to not only do no harm, but actively restore some ecological balance. Over the past 15 years, native trees have been planted around and throughout the site.

The trees provide a healthy home and food source for a range of threatened local species including a variety of birds, butterflies and bees. In combination with sympathetic planting, areas of the site are deliberately left to grow wild to facilitate the development of a flourishing habitat.

Summer- and autumn-fruiting trees including cherry, plum, greengage and apple have also been planted in recent years. As these mature, they will provide a few free tasty treats for guests to enjoy!

Most of the buildings on site have been constructed from repurposed or recycled materials. We use renewable energy in the form of solar panels and biogas to provide a significant majority of the energy used on site for lighting and hot water.

Accessibility is another important aspect of Flesk Water Camping. We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy camping and glamping holidays. There is ramped access to the kitchen, with a cooking station set at a height of 750mm to facilitate wheelchair users and lever taps on the sink.

Two fully wheelchair-accessible bathrooms have been installed, including showering facilities, and three of our log cabins are also wheelchair friendly.

We are always open to feedback about how we can improve and enhance the holiday experience for all our customers with additional support needs.

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.
