  • "Caitriona runs a fantastic operation on Bere Island in West Cork. The tents themselves are spacious and comfortable, the communal area was lovely [and] the facilities are really well thought out. The surrounding areas both on and off the Island are a great break, and we were also recommended some lovely hikes, things to see and places to eat on the island. The swimming and hiking were brilliant, and the night swimming and the bioluminescence was a great way to round it all off. Completely relaxing 3 nights at Wild Atlantic Glamping"

    — Lisa

  • "Amazing 4 nights in stunning location, unspoilt beaches, excellent snorkelling and kayaking. Caitriona and staff are exceptional, place is sparkling new and clean. Best camping experience in Ireland with everything on our doorstep for outdoor fun. Superb barbecue and cooking facilities. We will be back."

  • "Omg what a magical place. I have just arrived home with a full heart after an amazing weekend in wild Atlantic glamping. The place was so beautiful. The tents were luxurious and so comfortable. Everything you need is here. The kitchen is beautifully equipped. But the real magic happens with marshmallows around the fire pit a night. Swimming, kayaking and island exploring just adds to the beauty of the place. I cannot wait to return. If you are thinking about visiting. Just do it!"
