In the Summer we did a camping tour of Ireland staying in campsites in Killarney, Galway, Giant's Causeway (Bushmills) and Newcastle. Highly recommend this trip! Irish campsites are great (including musical bathrooms in Bushmills!). If you haven't seen Ireland, I'd recommend this trip!

Keep promising myself that I'm going to take the tent to Ireland, but still haven't done it yet. I quite like the idea of Cork, or the outskirts of.

Glad you enjoyed it Tammy.

And thanks for advertising the fact, we had a NI meet here last year and all who attended seemed to love it, be assured everyone if you do feel like coming over you will enjoy it, and yes they do have musical bathrooms lol.

Hi Jen,

I don't know LOL.. I think you would have to run it past Chris. Its a very popular small site and is usually booked well in advance.

http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=3080

I have already booked several visits for next year!! And it's already booked out for the main holiday dates!!

Ahh but I know an even smaller Irish site with musical bathrooms.  One of my favourites and we were there just before meeting you all at Carnfunnock and will be back there next year all being well.

WAS the cost of the ferry high.
Me, OH and two kids wanted to do it a few years ago, but was just as much to take the trailer as the car - that wiped out the holiday spending money, so we never bothered. WOuld love to do the bottom bit one day, just a couple of days in one place, then up stakes and on to the next site.
Sounds heavan!!

I went over in the summer to Big Chris's meet (which was fab, had a great time) got a St. Patrick's Day special with Irish Ferries (Online) which was £166 return for my Campervan, myself & my son. Bordercaz also got the same deal for her tow car & folding camper, 1 adult, 2 kids & dogs,  think she paid about the same. You just have to keep an eye on the Ferry Companies websites for special offers.

This was from Holyhead to Dublin.  There were other offers too for other crossings.

We are looking at trying to get accross there next year but are tied with my Father being in Hospital.

Would have loved to have gone to the 2005 Ireland Meet last year but the O/H thought it  was too far and wondered how we would "manage to breath underwater while driving under the Irish Sea " LOL
