Camping in May? Best places in Ireland?

linger.xo

Hi all,

I'm trying to organise a trip for myself and between 9-13 friends.
We're looking for somewhere outside of Dublin to camp.
Maybe somewhere in the West of Ireland? Or wherever is good for this time!

A few things that are definitely a requirement are:
-3 parking spaces (either with extra payment or on site)
-Fire pit (with access to fire wood, fire starters, etc.)
-Alcohol (obviously with plastic bottles/cans!)

Can anyone recommend somewhere based on experience that would suit our group? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!!!

Linger we went to Ballykeeran westmeath last year to a spot where u could light fires, drink from a glass if u wish and no probs with parking.

cant rem price but i dont think we paid ant more than 20 per tent per nite.

on a lake so u can get the tackle out (not that tackle) the dog and duck pub just 5 min walk or less from site and it had a good friendly atmosphere in it.

an hour 20 from dub if i recall. well worth the craic

Sorry for draggin up an old thread, but am looking for a similare thing the OP. This place hasn't gotten great reviews, from the few I could find.

OP where did you end up going?

Cheers.

This is a zombie thread that slipped through the system. As per the forum charter the request for a camping place where you can drink means the thread is now locked.
