Aran Islands Camping and Glamping is situated on Inis Mór, the largest of the three Aran Islands in the mouth of Galway Bay, on the Wild Atlantic Way, Ireland.

The Aran Islands are renowned for their stunning beauty and slower pace of life. For anyone looking for a place to get away from it all, it’s hard to think of somewhere better!

There are 3 Aran islands, the largest of which is Inis Mór. It is here that a growing number of people each year are deciding to take an Ireland getaway break, due to the variety of things to see and do. Whether staying for a night, a week, or more, there always seem to be a part of Inis Mór still waiting to be discovered!

The camping and glamping site is conveniently located just a short walk away from Kilronan, the main town on Inis Mór. With great views over Frenchman’s Beach and the ocean, it’s careful design and purpose built facilities make it one of the most unique, and newest, camping and glamping sites in Ireland.

Your Tour Accommodation

Aran Islands Camping and Glamping has 24 specially designed glamping pods, with each one able to accommodate up to four or six people.
These Clochán na Carraige, or Clochán’s for short, have a design based on the look of the old beehive shaped stone huts that can still be found on parts of the island and around Ireland.
Whereas these huts were quite Spartan abodes used by reclusive monks, the Clochán’s are the complete opposite.
The larger Tigín glamping rooms are inspired by traditional Irish cottages but with a modern twist and can sleep up to six people.
They are all fully self-contained and equipped with everything you need to feel as though you are at home from the moment your step through the door.

Shower facilities are all in very clean condition for both male and female.

In addition to glamping, Aran Islands Camping and Glamping also provides a campsite on 3 organic grass fields. They have purpose built shower facilities, a campers kitchen and a laundry room providing all the essentials you need when camping.

Breakfast, lunch and evening meal are all provided on each day during your visit.

Some Activity Options

Activity Options for Your Enjoyment

You can divide your time on Inis Mór between visiting the island’s main attractions, and simply seeing where the road or path will take you.

You can also sit back & relax on one of the islands horse drawn carts which will bring you around the island to see all the great attractions.

During your stay at Aran Islands Camping and Glamping, you can pick any or all of the main attractions to add to your sightseeing itinerary in Ireland.

Places of Interest

The Worm Hole

The Worm Hole is an intriguing natural feature located just east along the cliffs from Dún Aonghusa. This rectangular pool looks like it is man-made, but geologists assure people it is a naturally occurring phenomenon.

Seen from above, the sea and waves flow into a rectangular pool beneath the cliffs, making it a visually stunning place to experience.

The Worm Hole is also a venue for the Red Bull Cliff Diving Championships. Brave divers launch themselves from the cliffs above and into the pool over 25 metres below. Don’t try this yourself though – it’s for professional divers only!

The stone walls and small fields

The small fields that are dotted all over Inis Mor are separated by a series of dry stone walls.

Some of these walls may well be several hundred years old, and are a testament to man’s creativity and energy in taming the land. The walls and fields can be best seen when exploring the island, particularly when sightseeing by bicycle.

The Lighthouse and Dún Eochla

Dún Eochla is another fort on Inis Mor, but one that few daytrippers to the island make it out to see. Two terraced walls surround this circular construction, and it is thought to have been built later than the more well known Dún Aonghasa.

Close by to this fort, are the remains of a lighthouse which dates back to the 19th century. It’s a curious place to have built a lighthouse, as whilst it is on the highest part of the island, it is too far from the coast to be of much use!

The Inis Mór Puffing Holes

The Puffing Holes are a series of holes found at the top of the Inis Mor cliffs, which have channels leading down through the rock and into the sea below. As the waves rush into the cliffs, water is pushed up through the channels and then spouts out up through the holes.

It looks like the holes are puffing water almost like a whale does, hence the name! Take care when in the general area, as there may be unmarked holes that need avoiding!
