Clifden Eco Beach Camp

Overview

Camp among the stars and gently drift to sleep to the sound of the softly lapping waves on the shore.  Clifden Eco Beach is one of the few campsites where you can actually pitch your tent amongst the Atlantic Coast sand dunes so it's perfect for wild camping lovers!
