Hello fellow campers,

We are delighted to welcome you to Keel Camping!

As campers ourselves we have travelled the world camping in tents, camper vans, rented mobile homes and owned our own family caravan.

We are delighted to have the opportunity of this adventure to work doing what we love, and to live in Achill, our favourite place, our happy place!

We are looking forward to meeting you all along the way and sharing stories and memories of camping and connections to Achill Island.

Happy Camping 🙂
