Camping in Ireland: what to know

Season

Many campsites open from March or Easter to September or October, and a few all year. July and August are the busiest months.

Wild camping

There is no general right to wild camp. Seek permission from the landowner or land manager, including on public land. The state forestry company Coillte provides some basic overnight camping opportunities for hikers near long-distance trails. National parks have their own rules, and many forbid fires.

With a motorhome

Many car parks, especially along the coast, have height barriers or ban overnight stays. Use campsites, or motorhome stopovers offered by pubs and farms. Many rural roads are narrow.

Rules vary by region and may change. Always check current local regulations and signs before you travel.
