Where you leaving from and are you after wild camping spots, camp site pubs.... do you want to drive far on the first trip or stay close to home?

If it's wild camping and you don't mind driving the muckross head, west of Killebegs in Donegal had good snorkeling. there's parking by the beach but it's on a small slope so bring something to level the van. There was a portable toilet there which was clean on june weekend but no water.

You could go to Strandhill for a day then on to Rosnowlaugh then around to muckross, good mix and no hard driving.

If that's to far the somewhere along the shannon would be good Drommad had pull up spot for boats with toilets and plenty of parking. Trun at the Drommad arms. Rooskie could be worth a look and I've heard of a good camp site at battle bridge near Carring on Shannon.

If you want to go south Killmore key, blackwater or loop head don't park close to the light house - they have a loud fog horn and if you get a sea mist you'll get no sleep.

Good luck with the maiden voyage.

Seeing as you're in a VW T25 you could always join up with the Eireball Run for the last couple of nights, then head off wherever you fancy on the Monday.:D

I reckon that would be the ultimate maiden voyage for a VW camper owner! Touring the Irish coastline in a convoy of 30+ other VW campervans

Tomorrow (Thurs) night they are in Camp Cross, Co. Kerry

Friday night they will be at Sexton's campsite, just outside Timoleague, Co. Cork.

And Saturday night, the final night, is in Arklow, Co. Wicklow for a big party

You'd be very welcome to join in or meet up with them anywhere along the route.

More info on the website: www.eireball.com

And if you want to find out the route on the day, to meet up with them during the drive, PM me ASAP for a contact number (I'm heading off to join up with them tomorrow morning) or contact them via the Website, Facebook or Twitter (updated & checked a few times a day during the run)

That sounds about right, they were staying in Ballyshannon last night, and they're down in Dog's Bay, near Roundstone, Co. Galway tonight.
