Posted on "abroad" forum but no replies so will try on here!

We're travelling from Dublin Port to Co. Kerry and want a nice campsite (for the first and last nights) that's on that route and within a couple of hours max. from Dublin.

Has anyone any recommendations please.

Would be about midway between Dublin and kerry, but closer to dublin timewise because it's all motorway . There isn't a huge range of campsites in the midlands but this one is only 10 minutes off the motorway.

The only other site (that i can think of offhand) between dublin and "half-way to Kerry" is Camac Valley but that is literally just outside dublin.

Where in Kerry are you staying ?

Thanks for that, I'll have look at it later.

We're staying at Mannix Point at Caherciveen - we booked for two nights last year and ended up staying for 6! I think it's the best site we've ever stayed at.

Mannix Point !!!!! I knew it would be !!!!! (Well...guessed anyway)

Stayed there a couple of times myself and both times we stayed an extra night.

Hi Brenda,

There a few sites in Co.Wicklow which not too far from Dublin.I have not visited any of them as I have not been to Ireland yet,but I am going to Stranraer on Tuesday for the night and then getting on the Belfast ferry on Wed.morning.We are driving along to the Sligo area and staying at the Greenlands Caravan and Camping Park for a week at Rosses Point.I was also reading about the Mannix point site and was one of the sites I was considering.

Right, I've booked Mannix Point for the last two weeks of July, with an overnighter in Camac Valley to break up the 6 and a half hour drive. I had planned to go to Tipperary and Cork but Mannix Point is so well reviewed I phoned this morning and have got a shore front pitch.

To the OP - when are you going? Are you already there perhaps. Anyway I'm so excited I'm doing the happy dance!

If you happen to have good weather in Kerry, then Wavecrest is lovely, but there isn't much  to do apart from go to the beach, 10 miles from the nearest town. It does have a good shop, but no cashpoint when we were there.
