If you’re dreaming of a getaway that blends fresh country air, family-friendly fun, and peaceful surroundings, look no further than Nore Valley Park. Nestled in the heart of County Kilkenny, this award-winning campsite is the ultimate destination for a relaxing break — whether you’re wrangling little ones, planning a quiet retreat, or just craving some countryside charm.
Here’s why Nore Valley Camping is an experience you’ll want to return to again and again.
Family Fun Meets Farm Life
One of the standout features of Nore Valley Park is its beloved pet farm — and if you’re camping, you get free access. It’s not just a walk-through experience. Here, kids (and adults!) can bottle-feed lambs and goats, cuddle fluffy bunnies, and hold chirpy little chicks. It’s hands-on, educational, and guaranteed to make lasting memories.
Plus, the farm isn’t just an occasional activity — it’s a part of everyday life at the campsite. There’s always something happening, whether it’s feeding time or just hanging out with the animals.
Activities for Every Age and Energy Level
Whether you’re up for adventure or prefer a laid-back vibe, Nore Valley has you covered. Take a stroll along the 3km river walk, unwind in the scenic surroundings, or let the kids burn off steam at the playground, indoor sandpit, and giant chess board. Competitive types can challenge each other to table tennis, pool, arcade games, or a fast-paced round of air hockey in the games room.
Looking for a bit more action? Try out the pedal go-karts or hop aboard the tractor and trailer ride for a true countryside experience.
Tasty Treats Without Leaving the Park
Forget the hassle of cooking every meal — the onsite shop at Nore Valley Park is stocked with all the essentials and more. Craving something hot? Grab a jambon, sausage roll, or their popular salt & chilli shredded chicken. Enjoy popcorn chicken, filled rolls, or freshly baked scones and muffins with a hot tea or coffee.
And if you’re in the mood for something a little extra? Nothing beats a freshly cooked pizza, made right onsite and perfect for sharing (or not sharing — we won’t judge). Whether you’re refueling after a long day or treating yourself on a relaxed evening, the food at Nore Valley hits the spot.
A Place to Truly Relax
Though packed with fun, Nore Valley Camping is still all about relaxation. With a quiet-time policy from 11pm, you’re guaranteed a peaceful night’s sleep. During the low season, it’s a haven for retirees and couples looking to unwind in the calm of the countryside. You’ll wake to birdsong, not traffic — and spend your days at whatever pace suits you best.
Seasonal Events Worth the Trip
If you’re lucky enough to visit during a holiday period, you’re in for a treat. Nore Valley Park hosts an epic Easter Egg Hunt, a festive Pumpkin Patch, and spooktacular Halloween events that keep families coming back year after year. It’s the perfect blend of nature, tradition, and community fun.
