Most campsite guides tell you about a sites setting and whether it is family-friendly. What they rarely tell you is whether a large campervan will fit, whether there is a motorhome waste disposal point, or whether there are hard standing pitches for wet weather.This guide to campervan campsites in Ireland is written for campervan hirers. It starts with what to check before you book any site, then goes region by region, with the deepest coverage in Connacht, the region around our Roscommon depot. Munster, Leinster and Ulster each end with a link to our fuller regional guide. It replaces our older campsite round-ups and keeps the customer-recommended sites that still suit a hired campervan. Facilities and opening dates change from season to season, so always confirm them with the campsite when you book.Travelling in winter?

When you are comparing campsites in Ireland for motorhomes, the details that matter are rarely in the brochure. Before you confirm any booking, these are the questions worth asking:What is the maximum vehicle length you accept? Our team can confirm the exact length of your campervan when you book.Do you have hard standing pitches? Grass pitches can become soft in wet weather, so hard standing is preferable for a motorhome.Is there a motorhome service point for waste disposal and fresh water? Not every motorhome campsite in Ireland has one.Do you have electric hookup on every pitch, or only on request?Are dogs welcome, and in which months? We offer pet-friendly campervan hire, but some campsites restrict dogs in peak summer.The campervan sites in Ireland listed below are ones we can recommend on those terms, with what we know about each and what to confirm before you go.Connacht campervan campsites: Roscommon, Mayo, Galway and SligoConnacht is the natural home of the Wild Atlantic Way experience: Connemara, Mayo, Sligo and Roscommon. It is also the region closest to our Roscommon depot, so it is often where a trip from there begins. These are the Connacht campsites we recommend for campervans.Lough Key Caravan and Camping Park, near Boyle, Roscommon: Set inside Lough Key Forest Park, under an hour from our Roscommon depot, it makes a good first-night stop before heading west. Pitches have electric hookup and water points, and the forest trails and lakeside start right from the campsite. It is a woodland site, so mention your campervans length when booking and ask about waste disposal facilities. The park opens from spring to autumn; check dates before you travel.Connemara Caravan and Camping Park, Lettergesh, Renvyle: Right beside Lettergesh beach and a short drive from Connemara National Park at Letterfrack, it is one of the best-placed sites for exploring Connemara. Pitch sizes are not published, so confirm your campervans length and the facilities when booking. The park is seasonal, so book ahead for July and August.Keel Sandybanks Caravan and Camping Park (Keel Camping), Achill Island: Beside the beach at Keel, about 13 km past Achill Sound, with hard standing and grass pitches and a motorhome service point on site. It is well placed for Keem Bay, Dugort Beach and the Atlantic Drive. Check opening dates and pitch details when you book.Westport House Caravan and Camping Park, Westport: Close to one of the best towns on the Wild Atlantic Way, with the Great Western Greenway and Croagh Patrick within easy reach. Ask for electric hookup when booking. It is popular in summer, so book early.Rosses Point Caravan Park (Greenlands), Sligo: A large, Filte Ireland four-star seaside park with views across Sligo Bay to Benbulben. Around 100 hard stands and a motorhome service point make it one of the easier campervan stops in the north-west. It is an easy run north from our Roscommon depot and a good stop between the Mayo and Donegal sections of the route.Planning a route through Mayo? Our Westport and Achill Island itinerary covers it day by day.Munster: Kerry and CorkMannix Point Camping and Caravan Park, Cahersiveen, Kerry: A small waterfront site on the Ring of Kerry, looking across to Valentia Island. It is popular, so book well ahead for June to August and confirm pitch size for larger campervans.Anchor Caravan Park, Castlegregory, Kerry: On the north side of the Dingle Peninsula, with direct access to a sandy beach on Tralee Bay. The park has electric hookup, a motorhome service point and hard standing pitches, and opens from Easter to September.Blarney Caravan and Camping Park, Cork: A useful first or last night for Wild Atlantic Way trips starting or ending in Cork and Kerry, about 8 km from Cork city. Ask for a hard standing pitch with hookup, and use the on-site motorhome service area before you head west.For more options across the south-west, see our guides to camping in Kerry and camping in Cork.Leinster: Wicklow, Kilkenny and DublinHidden Valley Holiday Park, Rathdrum, Wicklow: Beside the Avonmore River, with hard standing and grass pitches, each with electric, water and grey waste connections. Pitches are roughly 9 by 9 metres, which leaves room to park and still sit out beside the campervan. It is an easy first night after collecting from our Greystones depot. Dogs are welcome on leads, except in July and August when the park does not accept them.Nore Valley Park, Bennettsbridge, Kilkenny: Beside the River Nore and close to Kilkenny city, it is a good base for a southeast break. Confirm facilities and pitch type when booking.Camac Valley in Clondalkin is the usual choice for a Dublin city stop, but it is closed for renovations until March 2027, so check its status before planning around it.For more options, see our guides to camping in Wicklow and campsites near Dublin, both an easy run from our Greystones depot.Ulster: Donegal and Northern IrelandCauseway Coast Holiday Park, Ballycastle: A good base for the eastern end of the Causeway Coast, close to the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge and Ballintoy Harbour, with the Giants Causeway a short drive away. Most of the park is static caravans and the touring pitches are on grass and limited in number, so book ahead. If you plan to cross into Northern Ireland, check your breakdown cover with our team when you book.Ballyness Caravan Park, Bushmills, Antrim: A five-star park a short walk from Bushmills village, with 50 fully serviced hard standing touring pitches, extra-large pitches for motorhomes and a motorhome service point. The Giants Causeway is about two miles away, and a seasonal bus runs from the park to the Causeway. It is one of the sites our customers have recommended to us.Tollymore Forest Park, Newcastle, Down: A campsite in one of Northern Irelands finest forest parks, with the Mountains of Mourne on your doorstep. Most touring pitches are hard standing with electric hookup, and the site opens year-round. Follow the road signs rather than your sat nav on the approach, which can send you down a very narrow lane.Binion Bay Caravan and Camping Park, Clonmany, Donegal: A small, family-run site on the Inishowen Peninsula, within easy reach of Malin Head. It takes motorhomes up to 8 metres, so confirm your campervans length with our team when you book. For customers doing the full Wild Atlantic Way, this is the natural start or finish. It is small and open March to October, so book early in summer.Knockalla Caravan and Camping Park, Portsalon, Donegal: A Filte Ireland four-star park on the Fanad Peninsula, set between Knockalla Mountain and Ballymastocker Bay, with hard standing pitches with electric hookup and motorhome services. The beach is a short walk down the lane. Another site our customers have recommended, and a good stop between Inishowen and the Donegal coast further west.For the full northern route, see our Donegal and Sligo itinerary. For glamping and other places to stay north of the border, see our guide to camping in Northern Ireland.Campervan campsite questionsCan I park my campervan overnight outside a campsite?Ireland has no general right to roam, and most land is privately owned, so parking overnight outside a campsite depends on the landowner and local rules. National parks generally do not allow overnight camping outside designated areas. Our wild camping guide explains the legal position and how to do it responsibly, and our page on where you can park a Craic N Campers campervan sets out the rules for our hires.Do I need to book campsites in advance?For July, August and bank holiday weekends, yes. Several of the sites in this guide are small, with only a handful of touring pitches, and the popular coastal parks fill early. Outside those weeks you can often book a day or two ahead, but phone first rather than turning up.Can I use a campsite service point if I am not staying there?Sometimes. Some parks let non-guests use their motorhome service point for a fee; Ballyness in Bushmills is one. Phone ahead, because many sites only offer it to guests.What do I need for electric hookup?Our campervans take a standard campsite hookup, and most Irish campsites supply between 6 and 10 amps through the blue European connector. Hookup runs the fridge, the lights and phone charging overnight, so ask for a hookup pitch when you book.Campervan hire from our two depotsOur Roscommon depot is well placed for Connacht, Ulster and the midlands.
