A small, back-to-basics campsite on the water's edge — grass pitches, hardstanding for tourers, and a rowboat pulled up on the shore waiting for you.
Row Campsite sits on the shore of Lough Oughter outside Killeshandra, County Cavan — twenty grass pitches for tents and four hardstanding spots for motorhomes and campervans, all a short walk from the water.
There's no shop, no bar, no queue for a hot shower at peak hour. Just a quiet lakeside field, electric hookup if you want it, and a rowboat or canoe if you'd rather be out on the lake than beside it. It's the kind of place families come back to every summer.
Two ways to stay, both facing the water. Book ahead by email or Facebook message — pitches are first-come, first-served in season.
A quiet spot on open grass close to the shore. Bring your own tent and gear, or the whole crew's — plenty of room to spread out.
Four firm, level pitches on the lakeshore with electric hookup available — built for tourers and motorhomes that want to stay a while.
Available on request across the site for those who want it — keep the kettle going and the phones charged after a day on the lake.
Lough Oughter is one of Cavan's best-loved fishing lakes — quiet water, wooded islands, and a boat waiting on the shore.
Hire a rowboat or canoe straight from the campsite, life jackets included. Head out for a morning on the lake or take it for the full day.
Row Campsite is ideally placed for fishing around the lakes of Killeshandra — cast off from the shore or row out to find your own quiet corner.
"Right on the lake and dead quiet — the kids were out in the canoe before the tent was even up. Exactly the kind of low-key camping we were after."
"Booked the hardstanding pitch for the motorhome and had the hookup running within minutes. Friendly, easy, no fuss — we'll be back for the fishing next time."
"Took the rowboat out at sunrise and had the whole lake to ourselves. If you want a proper back-to-basics site on the water, this is it."
