*From Dublin via Sally Gap and Glendalough to the Wexford coast, around Hook Head and on the little ferry to Waterford, then inland via Lismore, Cahir and the Rock of Cashel to Kilkenny and the passage tombs on the Boyne: around 740 kilometres through Ireland's Ancient East, driving on the left.*

## The spirit of the route

Just twenty minutes beyond the Dublin suburbs, the bog begins. On the old Military Road the camper climbs over heather and turf cuttings to Sally Gap, the wind pushes against its side, and down in the valley Lough Tay gleams black as stout. In Glendalough a thousand-year-old round tower stands among yews and gravestones, and in the evening the air smells of wet ferns and wood smoke. Then the land softens: hedgerows, wheat fields, flat beaches in Wexford, oyster beds and the striped tower of Hook Head, where a fire has burned since the Middle Ages. A ferry barely longer than a few campers carries you across the estuary to Waterford. Inland come castles by the river, the limestone rock of Cashel above the pastures of Tipperary and the lanes of Kilkenny. From the sliding door you rarely see spectacle, but plenty of history – and almost always a rainbow.

## Stage-by-stage plan

### Stage 1: Dublin to Roundwood (via Sally Gap) (approx. 55 km)

- **The drive:** Out of south Dublin via Rathfarnham onto the R115, the Military Road, built through the mountains as a road for troops after the 1798 rebellion. Beyond Killakee it is narrow for long stretches, in places barely wider than one vehicle, with short passing places; it skirts the Glencree valley and crosses open bog to the Sally Gap crossroads (around 500 m). There turn left onto the R759, down past the Lough Tay viewpoint to Roundwood. Crests, bumps, sheep on the road, hardly any crash barriers; pure driving time about 1.5 hours. In fog the route is slow and hard to read.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Lough Tay beneath the cliffs of Luggala: the view from the R759 down to the dark lake with the pale sandy beach on its northern shore.
  - Sally Gap: a crossroads in the middle of the blanket bog, starting point for short walks on boardwalks and trodden paths with views over the Wicklow Mountains.
  - Glencree: the valley at the foot of the Military Road with the German War Cemetery, quiet and well kept.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Roundwood Caravan & Camping Park on the edge of Roundwood, which is considered one of the highest villages in Ireland: pitches for motorhomes and tents, electric hook-ups, sanitary facilities; as a seasonal site usually open from spring to autumn – check the season and waste disposal facilities with the site in advance. If you have visited Dublin itself beforehand, start from Camac Valley Tourist Caravan & Camping Park on the west side of the city.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** There is no right to wild camp in Ireland, and in the Wicklow Mountains free camping with a camper is not a realistic option: the few lay-bys at Sally Gap and Lough Tay are small, roadside parking is a nuisance on peak days, and on busy days the Gardaí have already turned visitors away in the Wicklow Mountains and had badly parked vehicles towed. Use the lay-bys only briefly and never on bends or in front of gates.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Be honest about your vehicle's length: in a compact camper the Military Road is perfectly drivable with patience; with long motorhomes (roughly 7 m and over) or caravan combinations the route via the N11 and Roundwood is more relaxed – passing places are short, and reversing on a narrow bog road without a verge is no fun. Coming from Dublin's ferry port, the M50 heads south through the toll point between junctions 6 and 7 (see the practical section); top up water and diesel in the suburbs before the mountains.

### Stage 2: Roundwood to Avoca (via Glendalough and Wicklow Gap) (approx. 55 km)

- **The drive:** On the R755 to Laragh and into the Glendalough valley; after your visit, head west on the R756 to the top of the Wicklow Gap pass (just under 500 m): narrow, steep in places, no centre line, open bog at the top. Drive it as a detour and return to Laragh; then south via Rathdrum through the wooded Avonmore valley to Avoca. Pure driving time just under 1.5 hours, a full day with a hike.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - The monastic site of Glendalough: round tower, cathedral ruin and St. Kevin’s Church by the lower lake, founded by St Kevin in the 6th century.
  - Spinc loop at the Upper Lake: up wooden steps to the edge above the lake, back through the old mining area of Miners’ Village (around 3–4 hours).
  - Meeting of the Waters near Avoca, where the Avonmore and Avonbeg flow together, and the Avondale forest estate with the “Beyond the Trees” treetop walk.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** River Valley Caravan Park near Redcross, about ten minutes east of Avoca: a large, family-run site with electric hook-ups, good sanitary facilities and waste disposal; check the season and the number of pitches for touring visitors in advance, book in summer. Johnson’s Caravan & Camping Park is also nearby.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Glendalough is part of Wicklow Mountains National Park; sleeping in vehicles in the car parks is not intended. For the paid council car park at the Upper Lake, motorhome apps carry contradictory reports about tolerated overnight stays, a length limit of around 7 m and waste disposal – don't rely on them. On the narrow access road to the Upper Lake, parking bans apply and are enforced on busy days.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Arrive early, or leave the camper in the free car park in Laragh, open during the day, and walk about 3 km through the woods along the Green Road to the Upper Lake. If the Upper Lake car park is full, traffic backs up on the narrow access road with nowhere to turn – turn back while you still can. The car park at the OPW visitor centre is pay-and-display and open during the day.

### Stage 3: Avoca to Wexford (approx. 80 km)

- **The drive:** Via Arklow onto the M11 and south past Gorey and Enniscorthy; from the end of the motorway at Oylegate continue on the N11 through the Slaney valley to Wexford. Well-built motorway and national road with no tolls, a good hour of pure driving time in total. The detour to the coast at Curracloe follows narrow country roads lined with hedges.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - The weaving mill in Avoca: a hand-weaving mill in the village that has been running since the early 18th century, with looms you can watch.
  - Enniscorthy Castle and the National 1798 Rebellion Centre at Vinegar Hill, where the 1798 rising in Wexford was decided.
  - Curracloe Beach: kilometres of sandy beach with dunes and pine forest north of the Slaney estuary, and behind it the Wexford Slobs bird reserve with winter visitors such as Greenland white-fronted geese.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Ferrybank Caravan & Camping Park on the north bank of the Slaney opposite the old town, within walking distance of the centre across the bridge: pitches with electricity and sanitary facilities. The site belongs to the neighbouring swimming pool and, according to Camping Ireland, is open all year for hardstanding pitches and seasonally for tents; ask about waste disposal in advance. On the coast is Curracloe Caravan and Camping Park; ask in advance whether pitches are available for touring visitors.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** The beach car parks at Curracloe and along the Wexford coast are busy during the day, and many have height barriers or signs prohibiting overnight stays. No reliably tolerated spots are known; plan for a campsite. On the way south there is a small motorhome stopover at the Bannow Bay Seaside Farm – ask about availability beforehand.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Wexford's old town is tight, and the Main Street is partly pedestrianised; the quayside car parks on the Slaney are better for long vehicles than the multi-storeys. If you arrive by ferry at Rosslare Europort, you can start the loop here instead: the port is about 20 minutes south, and the ferry companies' gas regulations apply to the crossings.

### Stage 4: Wexford to Hook Peninsula (via Kilmore Quay and Hook Head) (approx. 80 km)

- **The drive:** South-west on regional roads to Kilmore Quay, then via Wellingtonbridge and Saltmills onto the flat Hook Peninsula. The R734 to the lighthouse is wide enough; the side roads between the villages are narrow and lined with hedges. Return along the west side via Loftus Hall and Duncannon. About 1.5 hours of pure driving time.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Hook Lighthouse: the black-and-white striped 13th-century tower is considered one of the oldest working lighthouses in the world; tower tours up the old spiral staircase, and outside, limestone slabs with fossils.
  - Tintern Abbey near Saltmills, a 13th-century Cistercian foundation with woodland paths and a walled garden.
  - Kilmore Quay: fishing harbour with thatched cottages and views of the Saltee Islands; fish straight off the boats in the harbour.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** The Norman View Motorhome Park on the Hook Peninsula: a small site geared to motorhomes, with electricity and waste disposal; ask about facilities and season in advance. Ocean Island Caravan & Camping Park near Fethard-on-Sea and Duncannon Beach Holiday Park on Duncannon beach are alternatives with sanitary facilities – both strongly geared to mobile homes, so enquire about touring pitches in advance.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Overnight stays are not intended at the Hook Head lighthouse or the clifftop car parks; the car park at the tower belongs to the visitor centre. Prohibition signs are also common at the beaches of Fethard and Duncannon. Stick to the sites listed – the peninsula is small and distances are short.
- **Insider tip for campers:** On the peninsula's west coast, wind and surf often hit the cliffs directly; the limestone slabs at the lighthouse are slippery when wet, so keep hold of children's hands. Plan the loop clockwise, so the day ends near Duncannon and Ballyhack, where the ferry leaves the next morning.

### Stage 5: Hook Peninsula to Dungarvan (via the Ballyhack–Passage East ferry and Waterford) (approx. 90 km)

- **The drive:** From Duncannon to Ballyhack and on the car ferry across the estuary of the Suir and Barrow to Passage East: a shuttle service with no reservations, you pay on board in cash or by card, and the crossing takes only minutes. The fares list cars and small vans – check with the operator in advance whether large motorhomes and caravan combinations can travel; with a long rear overhang drive slowly over the ramp. Continue on the R683 to Waterford and then either straight along the N25 or along the Copper Coast (R675 via Tramore, Bunmahon) to Dungarvan. Around 2 hours of pure driving time via the coast.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Waterford: the Viking Triangle with Reginald’s Tower, the oldest surviving urban building in Ireland, and the House of Waterford Crystal factory on the quay.
  - Waterford Greenway: 46 km of cycle path on the former railway line from Waterford to Dungarvan, over the Kilmacthomas viaduct, through the Ballyvoyle tunnel and along the sea – with a hire bike and return transfer it makes a good day trip.
  - Copper Coast Geopark (UNESCO): coves, rock arches and the ruins of the copper mines at Bunmahon and Tankardstown.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Near Dungarvan, close to Clonea beach, are Casey’s Caravan & Camping Park and Bayview Caravan and Camping Park, with electricity and sanitary facilities, a few kilometres east of town by the beach. A site geared to motorhomes is Ardmore Seaview Motorhome Park further south-west. Check season and availability in advance.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** The Greenway car parks in Kilmacthomas, Durrow and Dungarvan are day car parks; some have height restrictions. By the sea at Tramore and on the Copper Coast, sleeping in vehicles is not tolerated. You can stay overnight legally at the campsites.
- **Insider tip for campers:** The ferry saves the long detour via New Ross. The last departure is in the evening; earlier outside high summer. For the Greenway there are bike hire shops with shuttles in Waterford, Kilmacthomas and Dungarvan: leave the camper in Dungarvan, get a lift to Waterford in the morning and cycle back.

### Stage 6: Dungarvan to Cahir (via Lismore and The Vee) (approx. 65 km)

- **The drive:** On the N72 through the Blackwater valley to Cappoquin and Lismore, then north on the R668 over The Vee pass in the Knockmealdown Mountains: a long climb through rhododendron and heather, at the top a sharp V-shaped hairpin with views over the plain of Tipperary, then down to Clogheen and on to Cahir. Well built but winding; about 1.5 hours.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Lismore: St. Carthage's Cathedral and the gardens of Lismore Castle high above the Blackwater (gardens open seasonally).
  - The Vee: viewpoint at the hairpin with views of the mountain lake Bay Lough and the Galtee Mountains.
  - Cahir Castle on a rocky island in the Suir, one of the best-preserved castles in Ireland, and the Swiss Cottage, a thatched early 19th-century cottage, reached by the riverside path.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** The Apple Farm near Moorstown between Cahir and Clonmel: a campsite on a fruit farm with electric hook-ups and sanitary facilities, and apple juice from its own fruit in the farm shop; open seasonally, check the season in advance. Towards the Glen of Aherlow, Glen of Aherlow Caravan & Camping Park is a quiet alternative beneath the Galtee Mountains.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** The car park at The Vee hairpin is for daytime parking; overnight stays are not intended there. The forest tracks in the Knockmealdowns are working roads of the state forestry company Coillte with barriers – don't drive in.
- **Insider tip for campers:** In Cahir, park at the castle car park by the river; the market square is tight for long vehicles. If you want to avoid the pass road in a storm or thick fog, drive from Lismore via Fermoy and the M8 to Cahir – longer, but wide all the way.

### Stage 7: Cahir to Kilkenny (via the Rock of Cashel) (approx. 85 km)

- **The drive:** Quickly on the M8 to Cashel, then east on regional roads through the pastureland of Tipperary via Fethard to Callan and on the N76 to Kilkenny. Wide, quiet roads, tight through the villages; about 1.5 hours of pure driving time.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Rock of Cashel: the limestone outcrop with round tower, cathedral and the Romanesque Cormac’s Chapel, seat of the kings of Munster – access to the chapel by guided tour only, check the current situation in advance.
  - Hore Abbey: Cistercian ruin in the meadows below the rock, freely accessible and with the best view back to Cashel.
  - Kilkenny: castle with park, St. Canice’s Cathedral with a round tower you can climb, and the Medieval Mile through the old town.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Tree Grove Caravan and Camping Park on the southern edge of Kilkenny, with electric hook-ups, sanitary facilities and waste disposal; you can walk into the centre along the river. Alternatives are Nore Valley Park near Bennettsbridge and the motorhome overnight pitches at Malzard’s in Stoneyford. In Cashel, O’Brien’s Holiday Lodge also takes campers.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Below the Rock of Cashel and in Kilkenny there are no tolerated overnight spots in public car parks; the town-centre car parks are pay-and-display, some with height restrictions. Use the sites listed.
- **Insider tip for campers:** At the rock in Cashel, leave the camper in one of the signposted car parks in town and walk the last stretch – the lanes by the rock are narrow. You can reach Hore Abbey on foot from the rock along a field track. In Kilkenny the large supermarkets with spacious car parks are on the arterial roads – shop there rather than in the tight old town.

### Stage 8: Kilkenny to Dublin (via Brú na Bóinne) (approx. 230 km)

- **The drive:** The longest stage, almost entirely on motorway: M9 and M7 towards Dublin, then north on the M50 through the toll point between junctions 6 and 7 and on the N2/M2 or the M1 into the Boyne valley to the visitor centre at Donore. Then back to Dublin. Around 3 hours of pure driving time in total; if you prefer a calmer pace, stay overnight in Dublin and visit Brú na Bóinne as a day trip.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Newgrange: the roughly 5,000-year-old passage tomb whose chamber is reached by sunlight at the winter solstice – access only on a guided tour from the visitor centre, with a shuttle bus across the Boyne.
  - Knowth with its large passage tombs and the richest collection of megalithic rock art in Europe (the chambers are not accessible; the site is shown seasonally on guided tours).
  - The Brú na Bóinne visitor centre with an exhibition and a chamber replica, starting point for all tours.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Camac Valley Tourist Caravan & Camping Park in west Dublin near Clondalkin, close to the M50 and with a bus connection to the centre: electric hook-ups, sanitary facilities and waste disposal; one of the few sites for touring visitors in the Greater Dublin area. Book ahead, especially before ferry departures and at weekends.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** In Dublin and the Boyne valley, free camping is not an option: the car park at the visitor centre is a pay-and-display day car park, and in the city you risk parking tickets, wheel clamps and towing. If you want to see Dublin, leave the camper at the campsite and take the bus.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Places on the Newgrange tours are limited and often go early in season – book tickets in good time via Heritage Ireland's official booking portal. If you drive straight to the burial mound you won't get in – the way always leads through the visitor centre in Donore. Pay the M50 toll online with eFlow by 8 pm the following day.

## Camping practice & local rules

### Wild camping & overnight parking

- Ireland has no right of public access to the countryside and no right to wild camp. Almost all land is privately, council- or state-owned; sleeping in a vehicle is not permitted without the owner's consent. In public car parks the county councils (here Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford, Tipperary, Kilkenny, Meath) regulate parking through bylaws, signs and height barriers – prohibition signs are binding, and breaches cost fines and can lead to towing.
- In national parks such as Wicklow Mountains National Park, sleeping in vehicles in car parks is not intended; Gardaí and park staff carry out checks on peak days, and badly parked vehicles have already been towed in the Wicklow Mountains. Coillte forestry land has its own rules; barriers mean: don't drive in.
- In Ireland, parking does not mean camping: where an overnight stay in a car park is tolerated, it is only without awning, chairs, levelling jacks and grey water on the ground – and that should be clearly signposted on site.
- You can stay legally at campsites, at private motorhome stopovers at farms and pubs, and at the few council-run motorhome pitches. Many sites in the south-east are mobile-home parks with only a few touring pitches – phone ahead. Useful: Campercontact, park4night and the Camping Ireland directory. Numerous sites close in autumn and open around Easter.

### Waste disposal & supplies

- Service points for fresh water and waste are found almost only at campsites and a few private stopovers; public stations at filling stations are rare. Empty grey water and cassettes only at stations – never into street drains or onto grass.
- Tap water in Ireland is drinkable, but water points outside campsites are scarce. Fill up at campsites before you leave; heed “Not drinking water” signs.
- Gas: Calor and Flogas dominate in Ireland with their own cylinder systems; German exchange cylinders are not swapped. Campingaz cylinders are widely available in shops. Autogas (LPG) is offered only by individual filling stations, mostly around the cities – fill refillable cylinders before the ferry, carry the right adapter and look up locations in an LPG map in advance.
- Electricity at campsites is usually via blue CEE plugs at 230 V. Diesel is more expensive at motorway service areas than in towns and at supermarket filling stations.

### Vehicle size & traffic rules

- Drive on the left. Roundabouts are taken clockwise, and traffic from the right on the roundabout has priority. Adjust or tape your headlights for left-hand traffic and check the left-hand mirror often – on narrow roads with stone walls, as in Wicklow, that is where the critical clearance is.
- Speed limits in km/h (Road Safety Authority): motorways 120, national roads 100, regional roads 80, rural local roads since 2025 60, built-up areas 50, 30 in many residential areas and village centres. With a caravan or trailer the maximum is 80 km/h. Whether separate limits apply to motorhomes over 3.5 t is not confirmed – check with the RSA before travelling.
- M50 toll in Dublin: between junctions 6 and 7 the toll is collected without barriers by number-plate recognition (eFlow), marked by “Toll” signs. Payment is online by 8 pm the following day; with a foreign number plate, select the vehicle class yourself in the payment form and keep the receipt. A temporary visitor account with eFlow protects against missed payments. Late payment incurs surcharges.
- Other toll points with barriers (cash or card) are found e.g. on the M1 north of Dublin and at the N25 bridge near Waterford; the Dublin Port Tunnel is tolled and limited to a height of around 4.65 m. Vehicle dimensions: width 2.55 m, length 12 m; watch out for height barriers in car parks and low railway bridges.
- Blood alcohol limit 0.5 (50 mg/100 ml of blood), 0.2 for learner, novice and professional drivers. Phones at the wheel only hands-free. Ireland is in the EU but not in the Schengen Area: carry your ID, vehicle registration document and proof of insurance. If you arrive from Great Britain via Holyhead, EU citizens need an ETA to transit the United Kingdom.

## CampingSpirit packing & preparation checklist

- Wide-angle add-on mirror for the left-hand side – on the Military Road and at Wicklow Gap, hedges and walls scrape the left side first.
- Headlight beam deflector stickers or adjustable headlights for driving on the left.
- Bike rack with bikes or a folding e-bike for the Waterford Greenway and the paths around Kilkenny.
- Waterproof hiking boots and gaiters: the paths at Glendalough's Upper Lake and at Sally Gap are wet and peaty.
- A Flogas- or Calor-compatible adapter or a refillable gas cylinder plus a spare cylinder – foreign exchange cylinders are not swapped.
- A printed booking confirmation for the Newgrange tour and a smartphone with mobile data for paying the M50 toll with eFlow.

_As of 2026-10. Closures, fees and booking rules change: check official sources before you go._
