Fantastic facilities close to the lovely village of Cong, famous for the Quiet Man movie. Nice tent pitches, kitchen with fridge/freezer, and play rooms. We stayed during a yellow weather warning, and the owner was very thoughtful, making preparations and even leaving communal areas open for those in tents if they needed shelter. We stayed here twice in summer 2025 and loved it both times. Highly recommended

Guest reviews
Cong Glamping averages 4.1 out of 5 across 405 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
Not our vibe unfortunately, more rules than a military camp and not enforced, they try to hard to accommodate for all people maybe best segregate families from the rest, also packed in like sardines. However the facilities were great and staff were amazing, my lead for electric would not reach though needed minimum 15m to reach.
The facilities are clean and spacious, though showers could use a bench for dressing. While advertised as dog-friendly, dogs aren't allowed inside any building. Tent pitches are right by the road and entrance, with frequent car noise and late-night disturbances. Despite posted quiet hours, noise went on well past 2am and wasn't addressed. When I raised concerns, I was dismissed, worth considering if you're seeking a peaceful stay with dog & tent.
