The forest sites are generally convenient to the main tourist routes but are reserved exclusively for permit holders. Formalities are minimal. Once you have purchased your permit the freedom of all 9 sites is yours to enjoy, but you must not stay longer than 3 nights at a time on any one site. Accommodation is designed primarily for caravans although there is normally room for an awning. For those who prefer a longer stay in one place, there are larger fully equipped sites at four Forest Parks - Glenariff, Castlewellan, Tollymore and Drum Manor. These sites operate independently from the permit scheme and must be booked in advance through the local Forest Office. Touring in the Trees sites cannot be booked in advance and should not be reserved. They are allocated on a first come first served basis. GENERAL INFORMATION All sites are controlled and operated by the Forest Service, an Agency of the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs. Number of Sites: 9 3 | P a g e Location: Scattered throughout State Forests and vary from sheltered lowland with limited but pleasant views, to semi wild and sometimes remote areas with excellent views. Facilities: Basic essentials: Sites have in most cases chemical toilet disposal units, waste water disposal units, drinking water and hard standing for caravans. There are no electrical connections on site. Access to sites: Access is controlled by locked barriers. Keys are issued at time of purchase. Limitations to stay: The maximum length of stay at any one site is 3 nights. Permits: Permits are limited for 2021. When new permits become available these can be accessed via the following web page Forest recreation charges | nidirect Costs Refer to the latest fees and charges schedule.

Purpose and Scope of the Service The scope, diversity and potential developmental capacity accessible to Mid Ulster District Council Parks Service is both tremendously exciting and challenging. The greatest importance is sustaining a welcoming, safe environment and raising quality standards for parks and open spaces, together with the provision of facilities that are sufficient to meet the varied recreational demands of a growing residential population. This needs to be achieved in the context of increasing pressure on public expenditure, alongside encouraging greater community ownership and involvement. The Parks Service is committed to the achievement of quality standards across parks and open spaces in line with the Green Flag status through the attainment of additional Green Flag Awards for suitable sites.
