Glamping pods set to open at racecourse

15 new glamping pods will arrive at Killarney Racecourse by April 2026. Five of those units are set to open by the end of this year. Locals Linda and Mike O’Sullivan founded Killarney Glamping in 2012, and it has grown from strength to strength ever since. Their first site, located in Ballycasheen, is called Glamping at the Grove, and received a Failte Ireland 4-star rating in 2024 and 2025. The expansion of their businesses will see their employees rise from 7 to 12. The pods will be fully self-contained and spacious with luxury bathrooms, king size beds, sitting areas and kitchenettes. Each pod has been built in Killarney by local tradespeople and materials are sustainable and locally sourced. Guests can walk or cycle to Killarney town centre in under ten minutes or explore the National Park by bike. Linda O’Sullivan, owner of Killarney Glamping, described the site as luxurious yet sustainable. She said: “People want an experience that feels special and delivers all the comforts they love, and this new site captures that spirit right in the heart of Ireland’s leading tourist destination.”
