Top Tip
If you are not set up for camping why not try hiring a camper van or motorhome giving you the option to hit the road and decide from night to night where you want to stay. There are several hire companies but I have used Cara Motorhomes in the past and found them faultless. Lazy Days, in Co Wicklow, has a fleet of modern VW vans sleeping two to four people
