Wicklow Way, Ballinastoe
Been here?
This is a small, slightly sloping trailhead parking area with exceptional views, sunsets and nearby walks through Ballinastoe forest and towards the lake. Nights are usually quiet, although the site can be busy until sunset and is exposed to wind. A 6m campervan may find turning difficult, while vehicles more than 7m can have problems reversing.

We stopped in the parking area to visit the surroundings. There is little space, but the view is beautiful; we would gladly have spent the night there.Translating
An absolutely amazing place! The sunset was magnificent! The view was fantastic. A quiet night. There were about five motorhomes.Translating
Extraordinary view and breathtaking sunset. The only downside is the road and the number of people at the spot, but the view outweighs the negatives. We had a very peaceful night.Translating
We arrived in the evening. There was space, slightly sloping but manageable, with a magnificent view and a superb walk in Ballinastoe Forest and up on the plateau for the view of the lake. A very quiet night.Translating
A dream spot. Great view and absolute peace at night. The sheep woke us up, an additional highlight.Translating
Superb view. The parking area is very exposed to the wind, which can blow strongly. A restless night, with a little shelter near the trees.Translating
Beautiful view. You do park on a slope, and turning around is challenging with a 6 m motorhome, so keep this in mind. But the view is amazing.Translating
Beautiful quiet and tranquil spot. Be mindful of how you park though. There is a slope and reversing may be an issue if you're too far in or more than 7m.Translating
Very quiet, flat, and fairly far from the lightly used road; we had a great night despite the wind that picked up during the evening.Translating
