Great Motorhome Trip in Ireland
Ireland is beautiful country, rich in natural views and with plenty to do and see. However agree Ireland is not motorhome friendly, with its narrow roads, lack of campsites and restricted access to my beauty spots. It is essential that you have planned your trip carefully to maximise your experience of camping in Ireland….and here’s how.
Many will start their road trip in Ireland in Rosslare, the main of access ferry from the UK and continental Europe. Our suggested route takes you all across the of Ireland, taking in Counties Wexford, Waterford, Cork and Kerry. Rosslare strand is about 5 miles from Rosslare Harbour and is stopover if you arrive on late ferry. However it’s to hit the road and move th Wexford town, where the Ferrycarraig Heritage park is worth visit. Follow the road on to New Ross where attractions include the John Kennedy homestead, the Dunbrody Famine ship and the Ros Tapestry. The supermarket carparks of Aldi and Lidl are as good place to park as any, or use the multiple paid car park the quay (where chose to overnight). However heading south and overnighting in the multiple campsites in Fethard-On-Sea is suggested. From you can base for couple of days and visit the Hook Lighthouse, Tintern Abbey and Kennedy Arboretum.
Great beaches include Duncannon, Dollar Bay and Booley Bay. From the quaint town of Arthurstown river crossing ferry takes you of County Wexford. Note “Camping Crazy” in New Ross supply all motorhome and camping accessories and can provide motorhome maintenance.
The 5 minute crossing of the River Suir takes you to County Waterford, where your choice of routes all you to your campsite, Casey’s of Clonea, just ouside Dungarvan. Option 1 takes you from Passage East th the seaside towns of Woodstown, Dunmore East, Tramore and Bonmahon. All these towns have good quality campsites with Tramore the biggest and most commercial. Option 2 takes you from your ferry departure straight to Waterford City – watch for Jack Meades pub for bite to eat. The Waterford Crystal visitor center and Reginalds Tower are the attractions here. Sticking to the main road, 40 minutes takes you to Dungarvan.
From Dungarvan kp moving East Cork, where the Fota Island Safari Park is must visit. Staying South of Cork, the picturesque seaside village of Kinsale is an ideal stopover pt – Garretstown House campsite is highly recommended. Driving th County Cork contains gems including Barley Cove beach. But the destination has to be the amazing Eagle campsite in Ballylickey, West Cork. Situated on penninsula reaching into the Atlantic, it caters for all types of sea based activities.
Final destination is County Kerry the mecca for tourists coming to Ireland. Killarney is the hub and has fine campsites. However the rural towns of Glengarrif, Sneem and Glenbeigh are not to be missed. Enjoy your motorhome experience in Ireland.
