A well-established caravan, camping, and glamping destination on the River Shannon in County Roscommon has been listed for sale by Savills with an asking price of over €1 million.
Battlebridge Caravan & Camping Park, situated on a 9-acre site near Leitrim Village, is being marketed as a fully operational tourism enterprise with several revenue-generating components.
According to the Roscommon Herald, the sale includes the Failte Ireland-approved park, a 16-berth private marina, and Beirne’s of Battlebridge, a licensed pub and restaurant with a strong local and national reputation.
The property offers a total of 43 hard-standing touring pitches and 20 tent pitches, each equipped with electric hook-ups and water access.
Additionally, the site features a glamping area with 11 eco-units, a reception building, shared facilities, and a beer garden. Parking is supported by a large, dedicated car park.
According to Liam McCarthy of Savills:
“Battlebridge is a turnkey tourism asset with diverse income streams, strong brand recognition, and a loyal customer base. It benefits not only from the continued growth in domestic and eco-tourism, but also from its exceptional riverside location on the Shannon Blueway offering a fantastic combination of lifestyle and investment appeal.”
Beirne’s of Battlebridge plays a key role in the offering. The pub and restaurant have received multiple awards, including the Guinness Irish Pub of Distinction and the Black & White Pub Award, contributing to its reputation as a destination for both locals and tourists seeking an authentic Irish pub experience.
Located along the Shannon Blueway, the site is positioned to attract year-round interest from walkers, cyclists, kayakers, and boaters.
Its proximity to Carrick-on-Shannon, approximately 7.5 km away, as well as Lough Key Forest & Activity Park and the Shannon-Erne Waterway network, enhances its appeal as a base for exploring the region.
For prospective buyers in the outdoor hospitality sector, the property offers room for expansion.
Opportunities may include the development of more glamping units or additional serviced pitches, pending planning approval.
An adjacent field previously received outline planning permission for six detached houses, which could be leveraged for further development or diversification.
The park has received recognition in the Irish Independent’s Reader Travel Awards, where it was named among Ireland’s Top 10 Campsites.
With consistent repeat visitation and a growing interest in sustainable travel and riverside leisure experiences, the property may appeal to buyers seeking to invest in a multi-faceted outdoor accommodation business with growth potential.
