About Crom Campsite
Crom Campsite is on the Crom Estate, a nature-rich landscape on the shores of Lough Erne. There are 2,000 acres of scattered islands, parkland and woodland - a diversity of habitats that make Crom an important conservation site. Look out for butterflies, red squirrels, otters and pine martens, and visit the bird hide in a quiet corner of the estate. Crom has a long history and many stories to tell, from the famous ancient yew trees to the castle that survived two Jacobite sieges and then accidentally caught fire. The ruins are now a secluded monument with views across the lough, and perfect for a scramble. It's a dog-friendly place, with a dog shower by the visitor centre and plenty of suitable walks.
There's a tea-room so you can grab breakfast, lunch or afternoon snacks, which is handy as peaceful Crom is miles from the nearest town, shop or pub. It's a place to park up, pitch and then spend your days exploring by foot, bike or boat, available to hire from the visitor centre. Evenings can be spent watching the water, stargazing or gathering round the communal campfire.
Check-in is from 2pm and before 5pm, with departures by 12noon for tents and 11am for pods. To help preserve the site's tranquillity, the maximum number of adults in any booking is four and this applies whether you book together or separately. For group bookings, directions, late arrivals, facility information, electric vehicle charging, local area guides and more, please check the Guide to Crom Campsite.

Location
Tents
There are 16 tent pitches across two areas called Cullaighs and Bell Hill. They are simple grass pitches with no hook-ups, and cars parked a short distance away in the car park so everyone can enjoy the tranquility and views. Please book the right size pitch for your tent, and we'll direct you to your pitch when you arrive. For organised groups, like Duke of Edinburgh, please complete the booking form on the Guide to Crom Campsite and we'll get back to you.
Pods
These five stone nooks, which were once animal sheds, are now cosy pods with some simple comforts. They have two single beds, heat and light, a table and chairs and a kettle, mini-fridge and microwave. You'll need to bring your own bedding, and you can bring air mattresses to place on the floor for up to three children. Each pod sleeps two adults and up to three children, and three are dog friendly.
