    Yea all the time mostly go to sligo no problem getting parking in easkey enniscrone strandhill. Some areas like kerry and clare aren't to happy to see campers but if you are sensible and spend a few quid locally you'd be fine

    Don't think they are welcome around bundoran/Tullan

    Also heard it can be an issue in strandhill in the summer, unless you stay in the camp site

    I do. Get a low roof if you can.

    I had an old VW pop-top for surf trips which stood out a mile but never had any hassle in Bundoran (on the cliff), all over Sligo and Clare (Lahinch mainly).

    I now have a faster, more reliable T5 camper van. Saves me about an hour on some drives which really makes a difference if you're only going for a night. Better on fuel and also looks just like a regular van for the most part so great for fitting under barriers.

    If it's just a small van you're after you'll be grand, the bigger ones do get noticed a lot more and I think Lahinch are going to start cracking down on overnight parking. Then again if you're going for more than a night or two at a time you'll probably want the space...
