Why are we called Wild Atlantic Camp?
Our location, in the heart of Creeslough village, overlooks Sheephaven Bay and Doe Castle. We know we have amazing scenery and yet we also know we're a well kept secret. Visitors to this part of Donegal are spolit for views and the main road round the coastline, the N56, offers many lay bys for you to pull in and take five minutes to watch the waves. In recent years many visitors have passed through Creeslough, en route to the busier seaside town of Dunfanaghy, 11 km away. Understandably, it is a very lovely spot. But now we hope to give visitors a reason to linger for longer in Creeslough and avoid the crowds. In March 2014 the N56 will form a major part of Fáilte Ireland's new Wild Atlantic Way. The road trip of a lifetime starts, or ends, here in Donegal. We'd like these plucky adventurers to pull in and stay a night or two with us. And that's why we've called ourselves Wild Atlantic Camp. This atmospheric video from Fáilte Ireland describes the new 2400 km drive along the amazing Atlantic coastline we are blessed with. And in this Fáilte Ireland video some of the 'Faces of the Wild Atlantic Way' describe it in one word. One, two, three "Awesome!"
