New Ross Ireland
Great Motorhome Trip in Ireland
Ireland is beautiful country, rich in natural views and with plenty to do and see. However many agree Ireland is not motorhome friendly, with its narrow roads, lack of campsites and restricted access to many beauty spots. It is essential therefore 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 point of access via ferry from the UK and continental Europe. Our suggested route takes you all across the bottom of Ireland, taking in Counties Wexford, Waterford, Cork and Kerry. Rosslare strand is about 5 miles from Rosslare Harbour and is a possible stopover point if you arrive on a late ferry. However it's best to hit the road and move through Wexford town, where the Ferrycarraig Heritage park is worth a visit. Follow the road on to New Ross where attractions include the John F Kennedy homestead, the Dunbrody Famine ship and the Ros Tapestry. The supermarket carparks of Aldi and Lidl are as good a place to park up as any, or use the multiple paid car park along the quay (where many chose to overnight). However heading south and overnighting in the multiple campsites in Fethard-On-Sea is suggested. From here you can base for a 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 a river crossing ferry takes you out 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 take you to your next campsite, Casey's of Clonea, just ouside Dungarvan. Option 1 takes you from Passage East through the seaside towns of Woodstown, Dunmore East, Tramore and Bonmahon. All these towns have good quality campsites with Tramore being the biggest and most commercial. Option 2 takes you from your ferry departure straight to Waterford City - watch for Jack Meades pub for a bite to eat. The Waterford Crystal visitor center and Reginalds Tower are the top attractions here. Sticking to the main road, 40 minutes takes you to Dungarvan.
From Dungarvan keep moving East towards Cork, where the Fota Island Safari Park is a must visit. Staying South of Cork, the picturesque seaside village of Kinsale is an ideal stopover point - Garretstown House campsite is highly recommended. Driving through County Cork contains many gems including Barley Cove beach. But the next destination has to be the amazing Eagle Point campsite in Ballylickey, West Cork. Situated on a 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 many fine campsites. However the rural towns of Glengarrif, Sneem and Glenbeigh are not to be missed. Enjoy your motorhome experience in Ireland.
