Free beach parking, quiet nights

We had a quiet and lovely stay for two nights as the only camper. Locals are very friendly and the pubs are nice, especially the Long Dock. Very good food and we recommend to take the oysters. The Loop Head peninsula is certainly worth to spend some time. We did the Loop Head Cycle Way, amazing coast line.

Felt very welcome at the stopover. Lots of locals as it was a bank holiday weekend, everyone was friendly. Eight other vans were here.

Okay for one night. Fresh water at the pier. Otherwise no direct services. About 2 minutes away there are 3 pubs.

The 'no overnight parking' signs can be ignored - campervans are welcome to park overnight on the quay, in the village square or at the castle carpark nearby. The height restriction barrier on the quay is not in use. We spent a quiet night on the square, which is flat and next to the pubs and cafe. Friendly locals in all pubs. A lovely little place to stop, highly recommended.

The old community parking area seems to be gone. There's a sign now saying "No Overnight Parking." There were about four other vans when we arrived, so we stayed the night. No issues, all quiet. That said, I wouldn’t count on it. If I had more time to plan, would pick somewhere else. Nice spot though!

Parked on the pier and asked on the local pub. They were very friendly. Nice coffee shops, stopping point for loop head cycle routes. Make sure you take a walk to visit the castle - the car park is large by the castle but sloping and not such a lovely view

Sign with numerous prohibitions, including camping and overnight parking.

We stayed on the quay after looking at the other spot on park4nite ( lovely but bit sloping). Fab Guinness at pub. Lovely nights sleep only the sound of the water lapping on the quay. Several families parked and camped ! On the grassed areas. Would stay here again - thanks to the town for a lovely welcome

What a lovely place. Free aire with request to spend at least €10 in local shops or pubs. This is run by the local community and is something that should be copied everywhere. No services but very peaceful and safe. We had a great time in local pubs.

Wonderful place. The height barrier was open yesterday even though it was Thursday; according to the information board, it is open Friday to Tuesday. So we were able to spend the night easily with our 3-metre-high motorhome. The place was created on a voluntary basis, and they ask for €10 to be spent locally. There are several pubs and a small breakfast café with coffee and cake, which we can really recommend.

Open Friday to Tuesday, €10 donations welcome to be left in local restaurants/bars. Nice spot. Lovely and clean. No services. Would recommend to everyone

Great spot, friendly welcoming town. Site reasonably level great views of the bay, 2 min walk to town, 25 minutes to old castle ruins. Highlight was the hospitality from Morrisseys Pub, which is located just along West Street from the corner. We had a great stay here and would stay again.

Great place to stay, please try the excellent Long Dock restaurant it is superb. We filled our water tank from the tap on the quay and found the water was a nasty colour, so please check before filling your water tank, as we had to empty and clean and refill.

Stopped for water. Just on the left as you drive onto pier. Quiet, plenty of space to turn. Screw connection on tap

Very nice, peaceful place. It is not free; leave your donation at the post office. Good pubs nearby. We will be back.

Good place for an overnight stay, quiet and level. Lots of amenities.
