Is Sligo the place to go?

Hi folks,


I'm off to Sligo in a couple of days for a weeks stay. We'll be wild camping for most of the time but we will stay in a campsite for a couple of nights.


Does anyone have any reccommendations for good campsites?

Just spent the weekend in Strandhill. The campsite is good, close to the beach and shop/ pubs etc.
Just one gripe, as the campsite was very busy, it seemed to me that the toilet/shower block was under severe pressure and is just not big enough when the place is jammed.
But having said that, in a van with a shower on board it was easier to suit yourself.
Its clean and well run with all the facilities you would need.

Are you in a van or tent?

Enniscrone is ok, so is Strandhill both expensive. I alway wild camp there no problem. The pub at Aughris head has a few mobile homes and takes tents and campers, the toilets are part of the bar so they are locked at night.Good food there too.

You can't park by the castle in easkey anymore but can park up outside or on the point. The toilets range between being boarded up to a full on bio hazard have a look when you are in the area, good fishing at times from the pier.

If it were me I'd hit Dunmoran strand for a night as well.

For that real "end of the world/ a**ehole of nowhere feeling" try staying the night at Lough Easkey up in the Ox mountains.
There are two or three wide bits at the side of the road where a camper could park for the night
