Woodlands Caravan and Camping Park opened in 1998. It is set in a wonderful location just South of Tralee Town and is within walking distance through the Town Park to the Centre. The Park is owned and managed by Mike and Martina McDonnell and family and is built on part of the family farm. The McDonnell's have been part of Tralee's history for 7 generations as family butchers and farmers until Mike and Martina built a bridge over the river Lee and connected Woodlands to the town centre and developed a top of the range Touring Park in Tralee. A lot of research was done before the park was built and in a few years the Park has come to be known as one of the best in the Country. It has won the Best 4 Star Park in Ireland on three occasions 1999, 2000, 2003, and is currently the runner up with 2004 Merit Award.
