    This place is suitable for families traveling with children. For children, this is a great place to spend time in nature by the light of a fire. There is not much space in the caravan, but it is enough. There is a separate room with a shower and...

    Beautiful experience of sleeping in an authentic caravan with original features like the gas lamps. It was great to have a BBQ available beside the caravan. Neasa was incredibly reactive and helpful when we called her at 4 am for a medical issue....

Situated on 100 acres just 10 minutes’ drive from Glendalough and 1 hour from Dublin, with stunning views of the Wicklow Countryside, our family farm at Cronybyrne is a truly peaceful and idyllic place for a glamping getaway. Our glamping caravans are compact inside (8m squared), so ideally suited for couples and families with young/preteen children looking for an unusual and quirky place to stay tucked away in the trees. They are fully kitted out with cosy bedding, bed linen, towels, hot water bottles, kitchenette and gas lights - there is no electricity or heating in the caravans. We lend out cooler boxes with ice packs free of charge and guests have the use of communal fridges near the caravans. Each caravan has a picnic bench, charcoal BBQ and campfire bowl. Firewood, charcoal and marshmallows are available to purchase at reception. The unisex heated shower and toilet block is just 150m from the caravan field and has excellent powerful hot showers and a hairdryer. Upstairs in the communal area we offer free wifi, charge points for electronics and tea and coffee facilities. *based on traditional wagons pulled by a horse, the caravans are small inside so when all beds are made there is very little free floor space. For families with older children or guests on the taller side, please be aware that the sleeping spaces are compact so not comparable to a typical hotel bed. It is possible to book 2 caravans side by side for extra space or guests are welcome to bring a tent to pitch alongside the caravan free of charge.
We love and appreciate the outdoors, the Wicklow countryside and our little slice of wilderness. We want to share a piece of that with our glamping guests and give you a place to switch off and forget the stress and pace of modern day life. Our glamping caravans are hand built by us with great affection to offer you a one-of-a-kind and memorable glamping stay. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions about the farm, facilities or our colourful caravans.
Beyond the Trees Avondale - take an adventure through and above the trees on the Treetop walk and viewing tower and explore the forest park and great playground. Clara Lara Funpark- a fun family day out with water slides, row boats, go karts, mini golf and playgrounds all in a natural woodland setting. Greenan Maze and Farm - puzzle your way through the maze, follow the wild nature walk and visit the friendly farm animals. Glendalough Valley with its beautiful lakes, monastic site and excellent marked walks is just a 10 minute drive away and we highly recommend lunch from Glendalough Green or an excellent dinner at The Wicklow Heather. Powerscourt Gardens, Mount Usher Gardens and Kilmacurragh Arboretum are all within an easy drive and well worth a visit. For a cosy night around the campfire, sample the local brews from Wicklow Wolf, Wicklow Brewery and Wicklow Way Wines or discover the magic behind the process on a brewery tour. For the best breakfast/brunch in the area try the Avoca Cafe at Mount Usher Gardens, The Bay Cafe at Brittas Bay Beach or The Firehouse Bakery in Wicklow Town.
