Camping spots in Ireland (1 Viewer)

[Reets]

Does anyone have some good recommendations?
I'm looking for somewhere nice, that isn't a camping and caravan kinda spot.

how far you wanna go?

 

[Reets]

Anywhere really.
I thought the Aran Islands might good but I'm not sure if you can camp there, or if it's a good idea as it's just me and the sprog.

i know a really cool place in wicklow if thats any use,could be too close for you though and it being summer i'd say its busy busy.
camp wherever you want really once your smart about it,dont be very obvious,dont make a mess etc and you'll be fine anywhere (apart from glendalough valley,very strict down there,they will move you on) coillte forests are great for camping too,they do have signs forbidding it but i've yet to see/hear of this being enforced.

Can you camp on any of the islands off the west coast?

Hi Theodore, were you referring to Glenmalure in this post? If not can you provide me with more info? Looking to go camping in April.

Has anybody got any suggestions? I'm thinking somewhere that isn't over an hour drive from Dublin.

All suggestions welcome. PM if you want.

Cheers
Morg

Cheers mate, yeah Glenmalure is a really nice spot but i went camping last time there and there was loads of other jung fellets camping aound us too and they kind of spoilt is for us. Plus they robbed stuff on us. We did go on a bank holiday which was a silly idea i suppose as that's when it's most popular but i'd rather try a more secluded spot this time.

don't camp in knocksink - they've fines of €3000 for camping there. not that i can say for certain if that's ever been levied.

what ever you do avoid the campsite in Donard, Co Wicklow. Awful spot.

there is a lovely one in rathew though called the hidden valley. strandhill in sligo is also lovely.

I had no idea you could camp in the phoenix park, can you???

Okay... it's not in Ireland. But we've been to the Noongallas campsite in Cornwall for the last two years. It's excellent. Right down at the end of Cornwall, in the wild but also near Penzance.

I went camping on the Isles of Scilly once, they're nearby. Very nice, a bit like enid blyton land.

Ah! My old work colleague did the same. I hope to do that some day. Speaking on Enid Blyton, I'm currently making my way through the Faraway Tree books. I wish Old Moon-Face would come down and take over as president.
