About Flesk Water Camping

Secluded camping, touring, and glamping with picturesque countryside views, this eco-friendly campsite is just 15 minutes from the world-famous Causeway Coast and the breathtakingly beautiful Glens of Antrim, meaning there is plenty to see and do nearby. For campers with tents, there are ten grass pitches to choose from, three of which have optional electric hook-ups. For small campervans, there are three hardstanding pitches complete with a fresh water supply and electric hookup. For anyone looking to avoid the hassle of tent pegs, opt for one of the two roomy bell tents, each one sleeping a maximum of six people. These spacious (5m diameter) bell tents have a double futon and the option of adding more if required. Please bring your own bedding. Outside you'll have picnic bench seating. There's the Small Wee Cabin for small families and groups, perfect for four people in a double bed and bunk beds. You'll have both indoor and outdoor seating, as well as your patio. The Big Wee Cabin sleeps up to eight in a double bed, 2+1 triple bunk bed, twin sofa bed and a single sofa bed. This larger cabin is perfect for large families and groups. Finally, there is The Barn for up to five people in a double bed, a pair of bunks and a fold-out Z bed in the sleeping area, and ample soft seating if your group chooses to socialise indoors. With hidden lighting and an arched ceiling, this spacious cabin also has its own outside area and is lovely for a hassle-free stay. Venture to The Dark Hedges Trail for some cycling, or biking, or visit the seaside, with beaches just 15 minutes away, including Ballycastle. Responsible dog owners are welcome. A maximum of three dogs are allowed on site on any one night. Owners are just asked to please keep them on the lead at all times (no longer than 2m) while on site and to make sure that they don't pose a nuisance to others. Campfires are permitted but only in the site's fire circle.

Camping, touring, cabins and the barn are available all year round. Bell tents are available from Easter until mid September.

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.

Glamping Cabin - Small Wee CabinJul 2024

Stayed overnight while exploring the causeway coastal route and had a fantastic experience. Our host Andy was so helpful and friendly from the start. Upon our arrival, he met us and took the time to ensure we knew were everything on site was. The site is in a lovely peaceful location, it's very well laid out and has all the facilities you could need. We stayed in the red barn which was comfortable, spotlessly clean and cosy warm. We loved the firepit were we toasted some marshmallows. Couldn't recommend this place enough whether camping or glamping and we'll definitely return for a longer stay. Thanks Andy.
