Old style, quaintish but neglected. A lot of very young inexperienced staff. All staff very friendly and well-meaning but no management available for any queries/issues. I won’t be returning at the current prices when there are far better standards available elsewhere.

went on a day trip to Glen Aherlow and was stunned by its beauty approaching from the far side of the glen and coming out of the forest to see the splendour of the glen laid out before you... great picnic areas if you can brace yourself against the chill in the air... but wonderful photo ops

I love the Glen. My mum grew up here in a pub at the base of The Glen of Aherlow. It was next to the pub that is there now, in the house and was called Whelan's.
The tourist information lady was fabulous. She made me a cup of tea and phoned the lady in pub (which was closed), to have a chat with me. The views are incredible!
I drove up towards the mountains afterwards and I would really recommend that.

5 Stars for this campsite. The location is wonderful, but more importantly the site itself was top class. The campsite owner was really lovely and helped us settle in very quickly, and the amenities were fantastic. New & clean toilet block, hot showers with good pressure and (most unexpectedly) a great hairdryer.
Really close to the Lodge and local bar. Would go back in a heartbeat.

This Bord Fáilte park is situated right in the heart of one of the most picturesque valleys in Ireland. This secluded and beautiful Glen of Aherlow is surrounded by woodland and farmland and lies between the dramatic Galtee Mountains and the wooded slopes of Slievenamuck on the edge of the Golden Vale. The park is centrally located within 300 metres of the Tourist Information Point, the Coach Road Inn and Pottery Shop. It is also within walking distance of The Nature Park and Aherlow House Hotel. There are plenty of walking routes to be enjoyed and the scenery is breath-taking.
The site facilities consist of a Campers' Kitchen with plenty of hot water, Recreation room, T.V. room, modern sanitation facilities and of course Wi-Fi. The grass and hard-stand pitches are large and level with each having both electricity and water. The park is secured by electronic barrier and is one of the few parks open from January to December. Very welcoming and accommodating. A beautiful site that I would recommend to anyone.

Hiding just off the M8 Dublin to Cork motorway, west of CAHIR is the amazing Glen of Aherlow, a verdant valley with the majestic Galtee mountains to the south and the wooded ridge of Sliabhnamuck ( hill of the pig) to the north. Great for history, hiking, nature, photos and just plain relaxing. There are plenty of places to stay, Ballinacourty house is good value eating and of course there are the pubs and the locals. Visit in the late springtime when the trees are greening up. I'm a tour guide and this place is the match of most of the beauty spots in Ireland.

Stunning views of the Galtee Mountains from the Glen of Aherlow, Tipperary, Ireland 🇮🇪!It was a beautiful spring day where the mountains and clouds shared the altitude at time in the sky! Lots of walks, trails and beautiful country to view during the many walking trails!

The views across the valley from the statue of Christ the King is well worth the detour off the Glen of Aherlow loop drive. There are plenty of walks in the region. Have some refreshments at Aherlow House Hotel.

Try the scenic route from Bansha to The Glen of Aherlow, but be prepared to stop for oncoming traffic as the road is fairly narrow in places. The scenery is spectacular and the road past Aherlow House hotel will bring you to the famous statue of Christ the King.There are numerous walking trails for the serious hiker, or easier routes for the less experienced. Great spot for a picnic
