Advice Request for Planning a Trip To Ireland

 · 
Posted: 10.03.2020  ·  #1
Whilst my wife was alive on her bucket list was to visit Ireland and experience "The Craic". We managed two trips both sadly with urgent returns home due to her condition. Even so I had a taste of what I had missed.
So this year myself and partner are hoping to cross the seas and have a good long trip.
Our plan is to cross approx June 22nd for about five weeks.
Q. Is this a good time to come ?
Q. Which is the best way round North to south Clockwise or Anti ?
Q. Is it necessary to prebook campsites.
Q. If on a no facilities pitch will I be able to use my Generator ?

I watched a YouTube video that claimed they had wild camped for about 5 weeks and advised follow the Coach Tour Routes arround popular sites. Good advice ?

Welcome to MHC

The above app is ideal for touring Ireland as it gives all the information on campsites and motorhome parking spots. June is a good time to come and you shouldn't have to book sites except for the June bank holiday weekend in early June

Doesn't matter, turn left or right.

Maybe some in very busy places but you'll never be stuck.

They all have facilities I think.
