Carrick Dhu Caravan Park

4.6 (121 reviews)

With the Atlantic Ocean just across from the Park entrance, holidaymakers have easy access to rock pools, and further coastal walks into both Portrush and Portstewart. These can be enjoyed along the spectacular Port Path (also known as the Ulster Way / Causeway Coast Way).

Carrick Dhu Holiday Park is located on the Causeway Coastal Route, the A2 Portrush to Portstewart Road running between these two popular seaside resorts. Situated just outside Portrush, visitors can enjoy the award-winning West Bay beach, at least two local restaurants and Ballyreagh Golf Course all within a kilometre's walk.

We have invested considerably in the provision of completely new touring pitches for caravans and motorhomes – while this has reduced the number available to 35, they are more spacious and with hard surfacing for vehicles / caravans, they offer better conditions in all weathers.

Some pitches are longer - pitches 14 to 18 - and more suitable for motorhomes. Artificial grass offers further comfort, and securing awnings will require metal pegs, which are to be inserted in the natural grass just at the edge of the artificial grass, and, if required for just next to a caravan, sandbags (supplied) for tying to.

Our on site facilities include 35 Touring caravan / motorhome hard-surfaced fully serviced pitches, modern family shower/laundry facilities with disabled access, and a safe and accessible children’s outdoor play area. Guests can also avail of our onsite Chip Shop, Coffee Shop, our Recreation/Table Tennis Hall and a helpful Visitor Information Centre.

The Atlantic Ocean is just across from the Park entrance with easy access to rock pools, and further coastal walks into both Portrush and Portstewart can be enjoyed along the spectacular Port Path (also known as the Ulster Way / Causeway Coast Way): alternatively, why not try cycling along the Sustrans off-road route, or relax on the regular scheduled bus service? All options start from just outside the Park.

An excellent site near Portrush

Alsop, Nick - 25/10/2026

My wife and I were travelling around Northern Ireland in our motorhome and we came across this little gem by accident. It was a well looked after site with clean modern facilities and easy road access. I expect it would be busy in the summer but we arrived in early September and it was lovely and quiet. Friendly staff gave us a lovely welcome, we just wished we could have stayed another night. Convenient location for both Portrush and Portstewart. Lovely food from The Tides Restaurant just across the road which has fantastic sea views.

2026 Final trip

Watterson, Herbie - 24/10/2026

My poor review relates to spending two nights located beside 4No travellers caravans. Although there was no major issues regarding behaviour, it was very uncomfortable and it did spoil our stay as we had blinds closed in our motorhome for most of our stay. We understand the travelling community were paying customers, but unfortunately they have a reputation which isn't great. My poor rating relates to when l complained to Coleraine Council offices regarding my stay and felt l should be compensated for a poor experience, they were very unhelpful and advised that it wasn't their fault and l should have raised issue on arrival. My view was l should have been told on arrival by staff and located on another site away from travellers.

Excellent Caravan Site.

Partridge, Elizabeth - 24/10/2026

We always love staying here. You know the facilities will always be spotlessly clean. The Cleaning Staff do an excellent job and check the facilities throughout the day. The site is excellently situated on the Portrush to Portstewart Road and the sea views are wonderful. There is a bus stop a few yards outside the caravan site. If looking for somewhere to eat out Tides Restaurant is just opposite and if you turn left when exiting the site and walk/drive a few hundred yards you will come to the Inn on the Coast hotel. There are lots of eateries in Portrush itself.Margaret the Warden is very helpful. We are grateful to her and the team for all they do to keep this site in great condition.

Most expensive site of our holiday. Due to ferry cancelation we had to cancel one night. No chance of a refund just a credit which we will not be able to use.

Great location for Portrush/Porstewart

Craig, Sarah - 15/10/2026

Really lovely, clean site. good facilities, which you have to pay £1 for a seven-minute shower. I would say the pitches opposite the toilet block are the best for hooking up the water, Electric as the other pitches are a little bit of a stretch to the hook up, and our hose did not reach the water tap, and we have not had that problem at any other site we have been to. The pictures are tarmac with space for your car. and also astroturf if you want to put up an awning, very spacious. The location is great, across the road is the west strand beach, which takes you straight to Curry’s fun park and the centre of Portrush. A few minutes drive and you’re in Portstewart. My children age seven and 12 loved having their scooters and going to the play park on site.

Well run and efficient, no worries or problems.

Fegan, Josie - 10/10/2026

All good, the warden was very helpful when I arrived, marking out the route to my pitch on a site map. Facilities are good, clean and functional. The pitches are quite close together which wasn't a problem in October, but worth bearing in mind if you're arriving in high season. Also worth noting that the car gate closes at midnight so you have to be back inside before that. Unless you're on foot of course. Campervan pitch was tarmac, with a strip of artificial grass beside it which would be convenient in wet weather I imagine.

Well cared for site

Scott, Colin - 30/09/2026

We have been visiting carrick dhu for about 25 years now and previously before that as a a child with my own parents. It has transformed a lot in the past number of years with fully serviced pitches. The groundsmen do an amazing job. Grounds are kept neat and tidy around vans and toilet blocks are always spotless. Very friendly and accommodating warden at present. Just hard to actually get booked on these days, particularly around popular times. The system for booking is good but when it comes to booking for the Easter period when link first opens is an absolute nightmare and fails every time for us. Love it 😊
