Maddybenny
A 120-acre working farm on the Causeway Coast, parked between Portrush and Portstewart with sea views and a resident peacock.
Maddybenny is a proper working farm, equestrian centre, peacocks, horses, cows, and the campsite sits within that life rather than being bolted onto a field beside it. Twenty-four pitches (grass and hardstanding) keep it human-scaled, and the owner is visibly present: regulars report she checks you in personally and keeps tabs on how your stay is going.
The location does a lot of work. Sitting centrally between Portrush and Portstewart, it has sea views from the site and puts you within reach of Causeway Coast beaches, cliff walks, golf courses, and activity centres without requiring a long drive. Coleraine town is under three miles. The Open Championship at Royal Portrush brought campers here who discovered a quieter, more characterful base than the event-adjacent alternatives.
Facilities are straightforward and clean: showers, toilets, electric hookup, and a children's play area. Both grass pitches and hardstanding are available, so tents, caravans, and motorhomes all have a natural home here. Dogs are welcome. The price point is genuinely budget, which makes this a rare find on a coast that can lean pricey during summer.
