Exploring The Southeast by Campervan
Yvonne & Nigel recently embarked on their first ever campervan experience. They kindly shared this detailed and honest first-hand account of how they got on.Day 1After collecting our campervan from Craic N Campers in Greystones, we headed to Dunmore East in Waterford which was a nice easy 2-hour spin south from Greystones, even on a Friday afternoon!We had no bother finding parking on the street to experience the freedom a campervan can provide. Public toilets and some lovely eateries were all an easy stroll away. We enjoyed a nice sundowner drink at The Strand Inn followed by an excellent meal at Azzurro. After a good sleep we woke up to this beautiful sun rise view.Day 2This morning, we walked part of the stunning and easily accessible Copper Coast Cliff Path before moving on. For sea swimmers theres a beautiful strand and mobile sauna. We definitely want to return here to explore more of this beautiful coastline.We had pre-booked a pitch with EHU at the Hub in Graiguenamanagh in County Kilkenny, so off we headed, a very straightforward 1-hour drive. The Barrow Valley Activities Hub is a community initiative servicing motorhomes. Its a fantastic spot for walking, fishing, kayaking and boating. Eateries are limited and not amazing, they just tick the box really, but theres a great little Coffee & Food truck on site and also an Artisan Bakery you can order or buy from on Friday/Sat. Theres a good SuperValu in the village too.As we pulled up a live rock band had just started a 2-hour gig under the sites big stretch tent. You could just BYOB, sit and relax listening to a few old favourites. Very enjoyable. Although the site was busy and full for the weekend it was very quiet and well run.Day 3We walked the glorious Barrow Way to St Mullins today where we chilled for a couple of hours over a nice lunch and a glass of wine. Absolutely idyllic spot. Its a 16km round trip on foot. Flat and easily accessible for bikes too.We had planned to move on to Cahore but we were a little worried about parking and a lack of facilities, so we decided to stay another night in Graiguenamanagh. We headed off along the Barrow trail again and also explored the beautiful Silaire Woodland Loop which features a stunning 400m riverside boardwalk.We finished off the day with a light meal and a nice bottle of wine at The Waterside in Graiguenamanagh watching the world move slowly by.Day 4An early start this morning with facilities at The Hubto empty waste etc had us back to Greystones in an easy 1hr 45 minutes.All in all, a very stress-free first adventure with Craic N Campers. The van was very clean and comfortable. The memory foam mattress was brilliant and ensured good sleep and no sore backs! Success! Wed highly recommend Craic N Campers for anyone considering giving it a try from the new Greystones base. There are endless possibilities from here and were already planning where our own next adventure will take us!Yvonne & NigelMany thanks to Yvonne & Nigel for documenting and sharing their journey.
