About Castle Ward Caravan Park

The caravan park offers 25 hard stand sites all with access to electricity and water facilities, and 10 basic tent pitches. Elsewhere on the site there is a laundry room housing two washing machines and tumble dryers, as well as a standoff drain for campervans. Please note, the entrance gates to the Caravan Park are 2.95 metres wide.

From the park, enjoy spectacular views over Strangford Lough and take a stroll along one of the many walking trails that criss-cross the area. Discover ancient woodlands, landscaped gardens and sweeping parkland as you explore these beautiful grounds.

In recent years Castle Ward has experienced world-wide recognition thanks to HBO's Game of Thrones® which was partly filmed on the estate. During your stay, take a tour of some of the sites featured on the hit TV series including Castle Ward's historic farmyard used as the location of Winterfell.
