Is This One Of The Best Campsites In The Mournes?



Just come back from a soggy morning running around Lough Shannagh in the Mournes. I've had better days! Then I remembered being up here last year on a great warm sunny day and came across these guys wild camping - I reckon this could be one of the best spots in the Mournes for camping out, just remember to bring the Midge repellent!

Ye, got totally soaked this morning heading over from the Annalong Valley towards the Hares Gap. Started out dry but then went totally downhill. I disagree with your choice os best campsite, I reckon the top of the Ben Crom reservoir is better. However the midges are there and you tend to get a few DOE groups using it.

Hi,

Depends what you're doing. If you intend taking DOE groups up into the Mournes then the classic campsite is at the Sheep pens on the Trassey Track.
