Our Story
Butterfly Valley Glamping is a unique luxury camping experience located in an area known locally as the ‘Happy Valley’ of Thomastown. Located about two kilometres from Thomastown in the heart of beautiful Kilkenny countryside, the glampsite overlooks the woods and the river Nore.
This intimate site offers luxury bell tents, wooden pods and a vintage caravan. All have comfy beds, that will convince even the most reluctant camper of the benefits of enjoying the outdoors. A converted wooden lodge accommodates a fully equipped kitchen/dining/chill out area where tea/coffee and board games are available. Also in the lodge are our luxury bathroom facilities. An outdoor BBQ and play area allow you to reconnect with the outdoors. At night a campfire area allows stargazing and toasting marshmallows, while sipping a cold beer while the sun goes down.
We are located within easy access of Thomastown in a secure, secluded site. We are also centrally located to explore the Sunny Southeast with Kilkenny, Waterford and Wexford within easy reach.

Butterfly Valley Glamping 5 Star Reviews
A Very Satified Customer
Me and my Family recently stayed at the Butterfly Glamping, we stayed in the most comfortable, amazing Yurt. The weather was a bit windy and rainy, and we still had such an amazing time, we were very welcome and Mary the owner is very nice and easy to chat to and made us feel very welcome. recommended Places to eat, parks for walk and the river in thomastown for the waterbabies like ourselves. There is a lovely Spotless communal kitchen with everything you need, from microwave, oven, kitchen all equiped, even the campfire that logs and all are left out for use. Showers and toilets are very clean and easily accessed at all times. My mam, aunt and daughter stayed there for 2 nights in the Yurt last weekend, and middle of July we will be revisiting again and taken up residence in there beautiful pods. they is great perks to here, it is your perfect get away from your busy life to relaxation at your leisure. shopping kilkenny only 20min drive. Thomastown 1 minute drive, maybe walk, whichever suits each person. Great Views over the mountains too.
Peaceful and Enjoyable Glamping
I had a fabulous time at Butterfly Glamping. The facilities were very good and the scenery was amazing. Definitely going to stay there with the family again.
Great experience
Took my 3 grandkids to Butterfly Valley for a short break before going back to school. We stayed in the caravan so it was a “half way house” between camping and caravaning! Caravan was spacious and clean – there was no bathroom in it but there was a kettle, toaster and fridge so we had breakfast out on our own deck. Lots to do in the area and we particularly liked the swimming in the river, forest walk to the Nore and Discovery Park in Castlecomer. Will definitely stay here again.
