I visited Lough Key Forest Park primarily to go to Zip It but had a walk around the lovely grounds, I'm sure it would be a great place to take kids as there's a large playground, plenty of space to run around and ducks on the lake waiting to be fed! We spent 3 hours in Zip it and it... More

Just returned exhausted from Lough Key forest park. We did not camp there but stayed in the Abbey Hotel in Roscommon Town on a Super Valu break ( would highly recommend this hotel, but it is 40 mins away) Our group consisted of two mums and four kids aged 7 to 12 . We did Zip it the first day... More

Recently on the way home from a trip to Sligo myself any my girlfriend stopped in at Lough Key Forest Park. We didn’t use the camp site or follow any of the walks. We did however use the Zipit adventure centre. This was a great experience. It is well managed and there is a great atmosphere around it. We were... More

This camp site is as old as the hills and is run in the same way. A lot of people come year after year to it as it offers plenty of space and is close to the lough. Apart from that it has nothing else going for it. If it rains go home ! Management change year in and year... More

We stayed in Lough Key last night and to be honest had no problems with noisy campers - it lashed non-stop from 8pm until morning, so nobody was able to be out making noise! The manager, as others have indicated, is definately a little odd, he makes strange remarks to people (told my husband he hadn't showered in two days... More

We recently stayed for 5 nights at this site.We arrived on a friday and the site was nearly full;met a very busy but helpful site manager.The pitches were very 'boggy' due to heavy rainfall,so we were given a 'hard' stand as we had a trailer tent.Electric hook-up available for our heater for the cool evenings.The site is great for families;my...

We recently enjoyed a glamping holiday at Battlebridge so much that we decided to buy our first tent and go camping to Lough Key - what a bad idea! The area and park itself is lovely but the poor state of the campsite and toilets lets it down. We loved the location and play facilities, but won't return camping until... More
