    It can vary widely, my in-laws were paying €1,800 for a caravan park in Blackwater, my sister is paying €2,500 for one in Rosslare.
    This includes free refuse collection, grass cutting & a nominal ESB payment.
    Trouble is the caravan park owner can insist that you upgrade every 5 to 10 years but you have to buy from them, it's a bit of a scam.

    My in-laws have since bought a private site overlooking the sea, we've put 2 mobiles on it to serve the extended family.
    It helps to know some of the local farmers.

    Hi, We visited Prospect Park, beautiful place but were put off when we were told our parents (who are all retired) or family could not use the Mobile if we were not with them?? It would be nice for my Sister and brother in law and kids or parents to be able to use it if we are not down. I completly understand if it we wanted to rent it to strangers but that's not what we wanted. Haven't bought anywhere...yet!! really liked Morriscastle but no availability:( Cheers

    Each to their own i guess, we have a very closely knit famaily, so we would really not get any pleasure in telling them they can't use the mobile,
    especially if it was not being used. Would have no problem telling neighbours it can't be used!! I totally agree with the strangers end of things, i have one sister and my wife has one brother....so i doubt they'd be strangers for that long. As i said, we really liked the place but rules like that are not for us....enjoy:)

    I think the dearest one is jacks hole and is around 10k per year so less than that anyway.
    Look up threads on aam about these places, they don't seem like vfm at all and reports of extortion crazy rules etc. Better off with a nice holiday home if you have the cash

    Take rabidlambs advice if you can
