Reviews of Salthill Caravan Camping
Mark Doherty
Fantastic camping and caravan park. Very well looked after and extremely well run. Plus they give you a unreal apple tart at certain times of the year. Some beautiful views of the sea. One thing everyone needs to know is you can't book online or on the phone. You turn up the morning of and hope you get a place. (Most times you will get a space if you are there at 11/1130.)
Kieran Bass
It's a well kept site in a lovely spot, a 20 min bus ride to gallway city centre, 20 min walk to salthill, but they do somewhat pack you in, its quite pricey and you pay €1 for a about a 5min shower, but the facilities are very clean. Turn up around 11am if you want a pitch as its first come first served as you can't book
Matthew Hopkins
Great campsite has everything you need. Excellent location, easy in to Galway on bus or just a 50min shore front walk which is what we did. Very helpful, great tip on a coffee shop and squeezed us in with a sea front view for 1 night with electric, thank you
Grace Bajkó
Upon arrival we received a warm welcome, they had a well furnished kitchen and seating area. Campsite was a bit cramped and exposed to public but maybe to be expected during busy seasons. Location very convincing and beautiful scenery. Overall a positive stay, thank-you for having us.
Andrew Place
Really expensive, overcrowded field, with okay facilities. Whilst there is a camp kitchen, you pay for everything. Showers are 1 euro and only warm. Washing and drying is 20 euro, the most expensive we have seen in 10 months of travel. Even the taps at the wash basin turn off before you wash your hands properly. It's an okay location, but absolutely outrageous prices.
