It's remote enough that you shouldn't be disturbed.

How to get there easily though?

Theres a track up from Crone Wood carpark, a shorter route would be through the gate at Powerscourt although from experience (years ago) you may have to pay in & could get a few questions about where you are heading with large pack so late as they won't let you camp on their ground. There used to be one guy on the gate who was a right knob.

Once you are in the gate of Powerscourt follow the road, you'll need to break off to the right at some stage up a steep slope, you should eventually hit a track, follow the track and you'll hit a nice site.
It's a few years since I've done this so trying to remember, check a map yourself to be sure. I'll post the GR this evening.

I'd bet any money that magic star is the hostel owner not a camper at all.

If you're prepared to make a bit of effort and expend a bit of sweat, which it sounds like you would... plenty of places to camp discretely up in the hills. You main need is for water, so look along any of the mountain streams on south side of Glencree valley, above the forestry. Usually you'll a nice grassy, reasonably level spot without too much difficulty. That's part of the beauty of mountain camping, finding a nice wee spot, spend the night there and move on next day, aiming to leave it so no one would know anyone was ever there.

often saw people camped here

I see this has been bumped from a while ago....
