Next Summer's Plan: Self-drive Family Camping Holiday

Click here to browse our campsites.

Take the hassle out of driving to your nearest airport, getting parking, going through all the check-in procedures, keeping an eye on the departure notices and then trekking down to the departure gate. Then there's waiting to get on your flight and then getting the family seating together.

On arrival then you have to wait for your bags, go through customs and hope that your hire car is available after completing all the necessary paperwork. Then finally, off you go to start your holiday... phew, you really need a few days to get over all that hassle.

 

But what about if you had taken your car on a ferry from Ringaskiddy, Rosslare or Dublin?

Just pack your bags in your car, drive to the port; check in your car and passengers without leaving your car; drive on and your holiday begins. Enjoy nice comfortable cabins or reclining seats; good restaurants and a cinema or play area for the kids. Have a good night’s sleep and drive off without any fuss on arrival. 

Drive direct or meander your way to your mobile home park; check in and relax. Explore the park and see where the kids will be occupied and entertained for the duration, knowing that they are safe and you can relax. They'll soon be making new friends with other families around you. Choose to take excursions in your car, or just stay put on site.

For the journey home again, you can meander or head straight for the port (maybe stopping at a wine supermarket to bring back some incredible value wines). It's an easy check-in procedure again, and on arrival at your Irish port- roll off and on you go towards home after an enjoyable holiday experience.
