The Anchor Caravan Park nestles in a semi circle of the spectacular Slieve Mish Mountains in Castlegregory, County Kerry. The family-run park was established in 1971 when it was carved out of boggy farmland by George Searle and his family. The Searle family originally from Reading in England became so captivated by the beauty of Ireland they became Irish citizens. Chris and his family, wife Anne and children Jennifer and Peter, are the hands-on owners and proprietors of the park. The park is open from Easter Thursday – 24th September. Our park is well laid out with 30 pitches While staying at The Anchor Caravan Park, holidaymakers can enjoy spending time on the beach that adjoins the park. It stretches out for about 20km along the north coast of the Dingle Peninsula. We hope and believe that there is everything a camper or caravanner could want to make their holiday pleasant.

This is the best caravan site in Ireland we have travelled in a Motorhome from Belfast round the Wild Atlantic Way and having reached Anchor Caravan site near Castlegregory we vote this the best one in Ireland. From the moment you arrive Ann the owner greets you with a warm smile and welcome during your stay nothing is too much trouble for her. The site is a true home from home with special offers ie 7 nights for the price of 6 we were 4 for 3 working out at 20 euros a night. Beautiful clean spotless toilets and showers at 50 cents!! Yes 50. The washing machines come in at 2 euros a load!! Yes 2 and driers the same BUT there is a brilliant lined drying green where you hang your washing for free. Then there's an ironing room set up again Free, there are lockable phone charging boxes again free. This site is beautifully designed with beautiful quirky plants, bikes with flowers, carved wood etc. The children's playparks are great lots for them to do and all with soft sand bases. There is a games room with snooker.table, flip football. There's also a separate TV lounge. AND the big bonus is a walk through the residential bit of the park through a gate and up on to the sand dunes for a fabulous silver sandy beach overlooking Tralee Bay. This site merits a 10 star award thank you so much Ann for looking after everyone. Your a star. Sandra and Alan from Scotland. Xx

This is one of the best campsites that we have stayed in. The welcome at reception from Ann was great and nothing was an issue for her. The showers ,(only 50c) were immaculate as were the toilets, kitchen area and laundry. It was so handy to get a full load of washing/drying done for only a few euro. This site is so well laid out that you wouldn't realize how many pitches are here and its on a beautiful beach. We will definitely come back as the price per night for a motorhome is nearly half that of other sites elsewhere in Kerry. well done Anchor caravan park, keep up the good work.

Anchor park is what all Irish caravan parks should aspire to be. Just about everything you want in a caravan site except a shop which is only a 10 min walk up a country road. From entry to exit there is nothing I could fault. We were just 2 adults and a small dog in a campervan. We stayed 2 nights, used all the spotless, covid19 compliant facilities and wished we could have stayed longer. The beach out the back gate goes on for miles, 17km according to the guide books and tides and it was just wonderful to walk, few brave souls did go swimming. Chris, Anne and all the team are to be commended on a wonderful job and we look forward to returning again and again

Caravan and camping site just behind long sandy beach about 2km from Castlegregory village in Co.Kerry. Beach is safe and ideal for swimming or walking. You climb over the sand dunes or take a short walk up a small road. €30 pn includes electricity. Full range of facilities. Access is by a very narrow road with a devilish humped bridge- so drive carefully. Shop at the top of the road sells amazing pancakes.

Our family of five absolutely enjoyed our stay at the excellent Anchor Caravan Park in August 2021. I must say Anne and Chris could not have made us feel more welcome. Everything was friendly, efficient and easy. The park itself is inviting, pretty and incredibly well maintained. The bathrooms and showers were immaculate. I would venture to say, probably the cleanliest in Ireland. Covid preparations on site were well thought out and made us feel safe. The location is superb. The whole area where the caravan park is situated is magical. We particularly enjoyed the incredible beach metres from the caravan park and cycling down to the local village, Castlegregory, with its cute shops, great Pizza, quality restaurants and fab speciality coffee. Anchor Caravan Park is a really special place for sure. We’ll look forward to another visit with pleasure.

5 stars 🌟 isn't enough to award this beautiful campsite, as it is even better run, better presented & cleaner than campsites I have previously rated 5 stars!! It is the little touches that speak of passion & pride in your business & Anne & Chris have achieved this no end. A genuine warmth in the welcome, a quiet unobtrusive presence, a sense of safety & security, all combined with the majestic mountains, wild flowers, blackberry bushes, Willy wagtails & a beach to die for led to a wonderful week in our little caravan. Thank you Anne & Chris. Angela & Gary

We were initially booked in for 1 night but ended up staying for 3. It's a very well run campsite and has everything that you would need. Toilets and showers are spotless, great laundry room, games room and play area for children, a short walk to the beach and very helpful staff. I would definitely recommend and will definitely return when in the area.

Fantastic caravan park everything you could need. And close proximity to Castlegregory for some lovely restaurants or takeaways. Beach just a pathway down at bottom of park, it’s a beautiful clean beach, the kids loved it. The facilities were excellent they also have 2 small playgrounds. Well worth a visit will definitely be returning.
