Great weekend.....a deluge on Saturday night, but once that was over....back to 'business as usual' with 4 seasons in a day....but leaning towards warmth. Summer is (very nearly) here....and shorts were worn (by some) to prove it!!

ALL pitches booked out 29/30/31 May (waiting list for cancellations also closed) and July 31, 1/2 August;
Tent pitches (only) booked out 10/11 July and 24/25 July.
Thank you, again, to everyone who made the weekend so enjoyable....and to Dave Cassin who took this great shot last week.....loving those colours - I know you included it in my last post, but it deserves a prime spot!!

Lovely weather with us!! Looking good for the May Bank Holiday weekend, too. No change on the status of the May and June bank holiday weekends (May 1-3 and May 29 - 31)....both still booked out. The August weekend has just joined them - also fully booked now!
The annual RTE Drama Festival in Athlone is starting on Thursday 30th, ahead of the bank holiday weekend - with plays performing nightly in the Dean Crowe Theatre until May 8th, and their Gala Awards night on May 9th at the Radisson!
Then on to the Bealtaine Fire Festival - at the Hill of Uisneach - May 9th and 10th, so, lots going on over the next few weeks.
Thank you to Barbara Duff for letting me post this lovely fishing photo taken earlier this month.

While she uploaded this and another photo in a FB message to us this week, I had to use Linda Collins's spectacular April sunset photo across Lough Ree for this week's post. Thanks, Linda!
A lot of lovely visitors again, over the past week - lots of new faces and quite a few old friends - it's great seeing everyone and taking time for a chat!
For anyone who's wondering, no cancellations coming in for the bank holiday weekends yet...but there's lots of availability for almost every other weekend! For our UK visitors, we still have availability for your Spring Bank Holiday weekend (May 22nd - 25th) and for our England Wales and Northern Ireland visitors, we have availability for your August Bank Holiday weekend (August 28th - 31st)!
Looking forward to seeing everyone throughout the season.

Despite all the efforts of Storm David, we had a great weekend! Thanks Joanne Lennon for capturing the moment on Saturday and allowing me to share : )
A great launch weekend - thank you to everyone.

Now....the update on availability - or lack of it! The bank holiday weekends are getting booked out earlier and earlier every year - some pitch types gone by February this year!

We have availability for all dates OTHER than:
The May Bank Holiday Weekend (May 1 - 3) - fully booked
The June Bank Holiday Weekend (May 29 - 31) - caravan and tent pitches are fully booked BUT a small number of campervan/motorhome pitches still available - but not for long.
The weekend of July 24/25 is booked out for tents!
The August Bank Holiday Weekend (August 1 - 3) - caravan and tent pitches are fully booked BUT a small number of campervan/motorhome pitches still available - but, again, not for long.
As a famous Irish chain says 'once they're gone, they're gone!'.....
