  Description

  Our holiday park is situated in the heart of the Beara Peninsula, West Cork, Ireland. It's an excellent base for walking and cycling, and nearby are riding stables, sailing & kayaking possibilities as well. We are a family of 2 adults and 2 children with 1 dog and 2 cats. We run the campsite ourselves and next to 30 camping pitches, we also have 6x self-catering rooms and 3 glamping units available. Our main focus is on families with young children, hikers, cyclists, and active people. We have a big campfire area which is the ideal spot for social gatherings and we organize afternoon music and barbecue events from time to time, also inviting the local community.
  
  We enjoy cycling, hiking, sea swimming, kayaking, practicing yoga, entertaining friends and family. Ideally we are looking to host people who are happy to help out independently and have skills and interests in the areas of housekeeping, cleaning, receptionist work, general maintenance, and helping around the campsite. If you love being in the outdoors, interacting with people, being active, hard working, and seeking an alternative lifestyle then working on our campsite might be something for you.
