We stayed at Ballinacourty House in 2007.  Unless it has changed a lot since then it was a nice site.  We also stayed at the Glen of Aherlow Caravan Park about a mile up the road - did one on the way to Eagle's Point (Cork) and one on the way back.  Of the two I preferred Ballinacourty House.  There is a good pub within walking distance which does food.  There is a Tesco in Tipperary but it's a long way :-) (no seriously it is a long way).

There is a review of Hidden Valley here http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=5994 ?

We went to stay at Ballinacourty one year, but it rained so much we moved across to (dryer) Kilkenny the next day ! From what we saw it seemed a nice site though.

Have you also seen this site, The Apple, also in Tipp http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=3094 - it gets good reviews and is well situated between Clonmel, Cahir and Cashel.

General tip - it'll take about 50% longer to travel anywhere than you think it's going to 17.

Many thanks for the feedback, and the links to the reviews.  I hadn't worked out how to find reviews of sites other than UK and France!

So sorry everyone seems to have rain when they visit the Emerald Isle!

I feel relieved that the sites we've chosen seem nice, I have to confess I didn't do much research as we are only staying at each one for 4 nights before we head off to Mannix Point - which incidently has fantastic reviews.  We will be there the first weekend in August and there is a music festival in the village which sounds wonderful.  Just hope it doesn't rain.

Thanks again

JAN

Not sure if the timing is right, but there's a good Arts Festival in Kilkenny (near enough to Tipp) http://www.kilkennyarts.ie/ from 7th to 16th August. They usually do a large free event on the first weekend of the festival. 2009 details aren't on the website yet, but they shouldn't be too long.

That will be excellant - the timing is perfect, just when we will be there - thanks for letting me know - it will be a nice relief from mountain climbing - we're planning to do Galtymore while we're in Tip.
