    Casey's Caravan Park in Clonea near Dungarvanis nice,

    But tbh if your looking at partying and all that stuff you'd be better suited to one in Tramore I'd say. Depends what your looking for really.

    wel lads , can u go camping in de tramore sand dunes ??


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,081 ✭✭✭ziedth


    Well I'm sure you can. We go camping in Curracloe in Wexford every year even though it's technically against the law.

    Just clean up after and don't make too much noise and I'm sure you'll be fine.

    You should be carefully if you plan to be going to the toilets in tramore at night time, you might get a fright well maybe not depends what your into,

    Woodstown toilets are closed permenantly. They are to be refurbished soon as far as i know. If going to woodstown you could try the chap that owns the saratoga pub. They have a grass lawn beside the pub and you would have access to the pub toilets. I've seen tents pitched there before.

    Camping on the dunes in Tramore is not aloud

    My Fav beach to go camping is Annestown its quite you can make a lot of noise you might see others camping there but lots of space go for a nice swim when you wake up.
    Woodstown I would avoid unless you don't mind cars pulling up all night I think you can camp next the pub which would be OK but you need permission or
    if you feeling adventurous you can camp up in the mountains.

    Didn't notice this was a old post as far as I know most toilets are locked early you would be lucky for the toilets at newtown cove to be open during the day.
    I think the toilets out in bunmahon might stay open bring a bucket

    Kilfarrasy is a nice beach for camping when u get onto the beach go left and walk all the way down to the end and there is a nice part of the beach where the rocks give great cover from any wind or if you just want somewhere out of the way

    you're never too old for wild camping.sure i'm older than you and still go camping 3-4 times a year.lately i've been bringin the kids wild camping and they love it!

    plenty of spots in the comeraghs for camping but you'll need to do a bit of hiking to get to most spots.

    we usually go to clashganny lock in south carlow,you park the car 30 ft from where you camp so you fill the car to the brim! that section of the river barrow down to graiguenamanagh is great for the amatuer kayaker if you fancy doin a paddling too.

    Oh well the young lad is older I'd definitely go with him but I think the days of "camping" where by a group just goes drinking till morning and collapse in a tent at a certain point you can just get too old for it.
