Motorhome Semotorhomeice Points In Craigavon | MOTORHOMEingLife

The dependable place is Kinnego Marina Caravan Park near Lurgan, a council-run site on the southern shore of Lough Neagh at the edge of the Oxford Island nature reserve. Each pitch has electric hook-up, a water tap, grey-water waste and a level concrete base, and the site runs a chemical disposal point for cassette waste. It is open all year with a seven-night maximum stay. A short drive west on the M1, the council touring site at Dungannon Park offers extra capacity with its own service point. Craigavon is short on standalone dump stations, so plan to service at one of these. The live listing of several points shows what is currently verified nearby.

A chemical disposal point, often called an Elsan point or CDP, is a dedicated drain connected to the mains sewer that takes the contents of a cassette or portable chemical toilet. It is kept separate from the grey-water drain used for washing-up and shower water. At Kinnego Marina and other caravan parks you will find one near the service block or the pitching area. Only toilet waste and rinse water should go down it, never wipes, sanitary items or rubbish, which block the drain. Bring gloves and a rinse container, give the cassette a good flush through, and swill the point down afterwards so it stays clean for the next traveller who needs it.

Yes, Kinnego Marina is open all year round, which is unusual and useful in this part of Northern Ireland, where many touring sites close over winter. That means you can empty tanks and refill fresh water there in the off season as well as summer, though the low lough shore can be damp and prone to flooding after heavy rain, so choose a well-drained pitch and check conditions. The site has a seven-night maximum stay and is booked through the council. Being open year round makes it the natural anchor for motorhome servicing in the borough whatever the season, whether you are passing through or basing up to explore Lough Neagh.

Kinnego Marina is a council-run facility, so you book it through the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council rather than a private holiday-park operator. Pitches have electric hook-up, a water tap, grey-water waste and a level concrete base, with a chemical disposal point on site, and stays are capped at seven nights. It is worth booking ahead for busy summer weekends and bank holidays, as the lakeside setting beside the Oxford Island reserve is popular. Booking through the council also confirms your access to the service point and fresh-water fill. If you are unsure of current availability or prices, contact the council or check the borough leisure pages before travelling.

The M1 motorway runs straight through the Craigavon borough and takes any size of motorhome. For Kinnego Marina, leave the motorway around junction 10 and follow the local roads down to the Lough Neagh shore and the Oxford Island reserve, where the marina is signposted. The final lanes to the water are narrower than the main roads, so take them slowly in a large rig. For the alternative service point at Dungannon Park, continue west on the M1 toward junction 15. Fuel, gas and supermarkets cluster near the junctions in Portadown and Lurgan, making it easy to top up before you drop down to the lough to service the motorhome.

Fresh potable water is available at Kinnego Marina, where each pitch has a water tap and you can fill your fresh-water tank when you empty your waste. The Dungannon Park council site to the west also offers fresh water at its service point. The habit worth keeping is to fill up whenever you service the motorhome, because dedicated facilities are limited in the borough and the quieter parts of the lough shore have none. Carry a food-grade hose and a universal tap connector, as fittings can vary. Topping off fresh water at the marina before you tour Lough Neagh and Oxford Island keeps you self-sufficient on the shore.

Dedicated facilities are limited within Craigavon itself, with Kinnego Marina the clear anchor. If you need an alternative, the council touring site at Dungannon Park lies a short drive west along the M1 in neighbouring County Tyrone and has its own motorhome service point with chemical disposal. Beyond that, you would look toward sites around the wider Lough Neagh shore or south into County Armagh, though these are more scattered. The practical approach is to service fully at Kinnego before you move on, so you are not relying on finding a point mid-trip. Always ring ahead to any site to confirm the service point is open and available to you.

Late spring through early autumn is the most comfortable window, with the warmest, driest weather from June to August and long still evenings over Lough Neagh. Summer highs sit around 19 degrees Celsius, mild rather than hot. Kinnego Marina is open all year, so servicing is possible in any season, but the low shore can flood after heavy winter rain and midges come out on calm summer nights, so plan for both. Book the council pitch ahead for peak summer weekends when the lakeside and the Oxford Island reserve are popular. Spring and autumn are quieter and pleasant for a base beside the lough away from the summer crowds.

No, the borough does not offer general overnight motorhome parking in its town car parks, and there is no public emptying point to go with it. Local car parks are for daytime use. For an overnight stay with proper facilities you need Kinnego Marina or another caravan park, where you also get access to the motorhome service point, chemical disposal and fresh water. This keeps you legal, gives you waste disposal and water in one place, and avoids a fine or an early move-on. The marina is open all year and reasonably priced, so it is the sensible overnight choice whether you are passing through or staying to explore Lough Neagh.

A chemical disposal point is strictly for the liquid contents of a cassette or portable chemical toilet plus the rinse water. Never put wet wipes, sanitary products, food scraps, cooking oil or general rubbish down it, because these block the drain and ruin the facility for everyone who follows. Use only marked toilet chemicals in your cassette, and where a site prefers green or environmentally friendly fluids, follow their guidance. Give the cassette a proper rinse after emptying, and swill the point down so it is clean for the next traveller. Grey water from washing up and showers goes to the separate grey-water drain at the marina, not the chemical point.

Very much so. Kinnego Marina is more than a service stop, sitting right on Lough Neagh at the edge of the Oxford Island National Nature Reserve, with the Lough Neagh Discovery Centre, birdwatching hides and walking trails on the doorstep. From there you can reach the Craigavon City lakes with their watersports, and the towns of Lurgan and Portadown for supplies. The largest lake in the British Isles makes for a peaceful setting, with fishing, boating and quiet shoreline strolls. For a motorhome trip that combines easy servicing with genuine things to do, the marina works well as both a base and a destination, especially in the calm of spring or autumn.

The main cost is a night at Kinnego Marina, which as a council-run site is reasonable, typically in the region of 20 to 30 pounds for a level concrete pitch with electric hook-up, water and grey-water waste, including the chemical disposal point and a fresh-water fill. If you only want to empty tanks without staying, options are limited, so ring the marina or Dungannon Park ahead to ask whether they will oblige a passing motorhome, usually for only a few pounds where allowed. Fuel and gas are competitively priced near the M1. There is no free public network here, so a night at the marina is the most reliable and best-value way to handle waste and water.

The main roads are easy, since the M1 and the A-roads through Lurgan, Craigavon and Portadown take any size of rig without trouble. It is only the final lanes down to Kinnego Marina, around the Oxford Island reserve and along the quieter parts of the Lough Neagh shore that get narrow, and they can flood after heavy rain. Take those slowly, watch for reserve and marina traffic, and check conditions if the weather has been wet. Nothing here is technically difficult for a careful driver in a large motorhome, but it pays to keep to the main roads for the bulk of your journey and treat the shore lanes with a bit of respect.
