Moneyland Farm Arklow

Moneyland Farm Arklow is NOT a campsite its a B&B with Cafe, Glamping & Self catering units with leisure center and tennis court...

We heard about this place on The Camping Crew podcast and as its only 90mins from our base we headed there for 2 nights.

On chatting to one of the owners we were informed this is NOT a camp site its just a service offered to motorhomers.

Its €15 a night per unit including hook up. There is grey and fresh water facilities and chemical toilet disposal too.

There is an indoor heated swimming pool on site for an extra charge of €5.

The Broken Chair Cafe is open 7 days from 9am to 4pm and is very popular and has a gift shop too.

There are about 8 hard stands with electric hook and a further 4 or 5 hook up points for if it gets busy.


This is worth a visit for a night or 2.

Just spent a night here, the last stop on our 3 county trip. 

As per Aaron and Charlie’s review, it’s not a campsite, it is B&B, Self Catering, Cafe and some, I’m going to say Glamping units but lovely looking and apparently full of tech, with 12 or so hard standing pitches with EHU.

We parked up on hard pitch 10, with lovely views over the heather field and mountains. There’s a slight noise from the motorway far in the distance, but it’s very slight and you soon get use to it as white noise which is relaxing too.

Site was 75% full on the night we stayed but so relaxing. It’s a good 45 min walk into Arklow town for food, bars and shopping but we carry small Fiido D3 pro folding e-bikes so it only took 10 mins in and 10 mins out to pick up a few “supplies”

The site was so quiet come 10pm, breakfast in the cafe the next morning was lovely and the staff where so friendly and welcoming and there was a bowl of water provided along with a sausage for our little fluffers Daisy.

The cost was €25 including EHU, access to the swimming pool may be extra. But a great option for a stop over on the way maybe to Wexford, or even a couple of days just away from busy life!

Would recommend and will come back.

 

As per previous reviews, it is NOT a campsite.

We spent 2 nights here last weekend (June 14-16) and cost was €25/night showers, EHU inclusive. It was very quiet and well maintained. There was a few units here and we were all very well spaced out on the pitches. Showers and Loos were spotless as was the bin area and black waste areas. A service area is also present for motorhomes to dump their grey water.

There is an onsite Cafe, The Broken Chair. It was extremely busy both days with queues outside the Sunday morning for Breakfast, we didn't dine here, and its probably best to book in advance.

All in all a great little stopover and a great base to explore Wicklow and north Wexford. It took us 30 minutes to cycle to Avoca and 30 mins to walk to the centre of Arklow. Highly recommended!

 

Is it suitable for Caravans?

Hey Tourer,

There’s certainly enough space to manoeuvre a caravan especially in the area beside the cafe in my opinion, but I would give them a call to double check, not a campsite per say so maybe it’s just campervans and motorhomes, don’t think tenters are allowed. Which is a shame because it would make a very nice campsite. 

Im almost sure its just for motorhomes !!!
