Hello Dublin Jim .

We have Camped In a village called Redcross In Wicklow In 2005. Unfortunatly . I did not like the Site . My OH thought it was ok. But I found It very commercial . And the pitchs very close together . We were given a very tight spot on the site hemmed in all around by other tents .

I refused to take it . Eventually we were given a pitch on the end of a row In a quiter area . It did not start the holiday well as we had travelled over on the ferry arriving late afternoon then drove about 50miles to Wicklow . Got lost a few times the found the Village of Redcross Which to our horror was very run down and delapidated .  I had got very bad vibes about all of this .

But as the days went on . ( It was glorious June  weather ) We got used to the site . Everybody was very friendly . Then we went out every day and The Scenery was stunning we visited all the beauty spots . The mountains lakes the statley homes and we loved Glendalough . Which has an Aura about it . We also visited the beachs . And went Into Dublin On day visits by train . All In all It turned out a nice holiday . And my own opinion Is Wicklow is lovely . And cant fault it .

It might have been better if I had have even picked a campsite nearer to Dublin . Or more Rural one .

Thanks for that Jim .

I dont know when we will be going back . As the last time me and the OH stayed at Glendalough In a Bungalow . In 2007.  We got a package deal from Imagine .

It Included the ferry travel & accomadation . .

We had a great time touring Wicklow all the beautiful places . And visiting relatives In Dublin . And Kildare .

What part of Dublin are you from !!!

My OH is from Dublin and we have often talked about taking our tourer over to Ireland but there are mainly 2 reasons why we havent as yet.

1) cost of the ferry

2) our main holiday is in October, and it seems that the majority of sites in Ireland close end September.

So far we have either stayed B&B or had a deal of Ferry & Cottage. But hopefully one day we will take the Tourer.

If you know sites that are not listed on here why not add them for all to see!
