We intend taking the caravan to Donegal around mid August. Does any one know how busy the sites get. Will we be able to find sites 'on spek' oh do we have to book?

Thanks

Tramore at Rosbeg is lovely, but I would say that as OH comes from there, his family used to own Dawros Bay Hotel back in the 40s/50s. As others say, it would be best to book ahead for August, any other time you can just turn up. Be warned though, Irish sites are not cheap, but Tramore has views to die for.

There's a brilliant site at Crolly in Donegal which is near Bunbeg. It's very popular so you need to book at busy times. Owned by a really nice couple. This site is featured on this website thats how we found it, it's called "Sleepy Hollows".
There's another site at Rosbeg,Donegal, right on the beach really nice. Don't think it's featured on this website. It's called "Tramore camping and caravan park". If you Google it you'll find it.

Another vote for Sleepy Hollows. We are booked there for the MayDay bank holiday weekend. Art and Pauline are wonderful owners and nothi g is ever too much effort. As it is a really small site you find everyone talks to each other.
Looking to getting there. We have 2 nights to organise yet probably round Malin Head.
Enjoy where ever you visit.

Hi, look here

I have not stayed here but the site comes with an excellent recommendation from the site owner of Rushin House in Belcoo N. Ireland and it is a wonderful site with really clean facilities( Look at reviews under N.Ireland)

Doesn't mention prices that I can see, any idea how much? It's somewhere to consider, OH lived at Dungloe for a while too, after they had to leave Rosbeg. It has at least one bank where you can use a UK cashpoint too, unlike Ardara (nearest town to Rosbeg).

I added a post which seems to have been deleted for some reason. It was along the lines of :

If you're having trouble finding a site in Donegal maybe you could try West Fermanagh which borders South Donegal and has lots of good sites. Lough Melvin Holiday Centre is right on the border at Garrison, and also close by are Blaney Caravan Park and the excellent Rushin House.

That's strange Arthur. One time we left the caravan behind at Rosbeg and took our small tent to Fermanagh, poured down with rain. The tent stood up to it but we couldn't see any scenery.
