Where to stay when travelling by Motorhome

There are several different options for staying overnight with your motorhome. As always it is recommended to do your research before you travel and have a plan or an itinerary for your journey including your overnight stays.

You generally have 3 options:

  • Campsite
  • Legal Stop Over
  • Wild Camping

Campsites

Its generally pretty easy to find a campsite near to where your going as there are many great campsites all throughout the island of Ireland. It is advisable to stay in a campsite at least every couple of days to allow you to discharge the waste and refill the fresh water tank.

There are pros and cons of using campsites on your trip:

Pros

  • Campsites are a great option if this is your first motorhome holiday. Many offer additional facilities such as pools, play parks, shops/bars/restaurants etc.
  • No need to find a landowner to ask permission to stay overnight – just book your campsite and rock up.
  • Newbies to campervan and motorhome holidays can meet plenty of fellow travellers to ask for tips and advice.

Cons

  • Lack of spontaneity – if you have a campsite booked, you can’t just stop anywhere you like for the night.
  • You’ll miss out on the most truly remote spots.
  • Campsites in popular areas can be crowded in high season – not ideal if you want a peaceful and romantic break. Plan ahead and book early.

Legal Stop Overs

Below we also look at types of legal stopovers there are for motorhomes and campervans.

Legal Stop Overs, often know as Aires De Service, are a network of stopping places for campervans and motorhomes. They tend to be on private land that the owner has allowed (within reason) or part of campsites or even a hotel/pub. They are usually small in size, only accepting 2 or 3 vans at a time. Some will have facilities and some will not. They are a great way to meet and get to know fellow campers.

Most of these are not formal campsites, they range from simple car parks and truck stops that have no regulations specifically prohibiting overnight stays. Many of these stops are hosted by local pubs, where you are able to spend the night in return for sampling their food and beverages that evening. These stops are usually just for one night. They should be viewed as short stay overnight parking at sensible rates and often cannot be booked in advance.

Many seasoned motorhomers prefer to use legal stopovers, as they prefer the peace and quiet as well as only being with those with similar past times.

As legal stop overs can be harder to locate we have compiled a short list of resources to allow you to plan your stay.

Total Motorhome Ireland

TMI started as a Facebook group to share stopovers. They have grown into a large group with over 1000 members. It is free to join, and when you enter the Facebook group, you get access to a host of knowledge from an active group. They also have a free web app with a host of resources including interactive maps of motorhome facilities all over Ireland.

Motorhome Parking Locations

Motorhome Parking Locations has an active Facebook Group and a great App which includes some really useful resources including overnight stops, LPG stations and campsites. It also shows the Game of Thrones filming locations in Northern Ireland.

Total Camping Ireland

Total Camping Ireland have compiled a list of legal stopovers which can be viewed in a map format.

Showerplus

Showerplus provide a list of shower facilities throughout Ireland, UK and Europe. Their maps also include viewpoints, photo locations, mountains, lakes, rivers, piers, forests and much more.

Camper Contact

The CamperContact app is an online tool for finding beautiful places to stop in a motorhome. They currently have 238 stops here in Ireland, with over 1200 more in the UK. Check out their website for more details.

PitchUp

The PitchUp website includes a wide range of motorhome stops. From small farms to luxurious campsites. By setting the filters on motorhome or campervan pitch, you will find an overview of motorhome campsites. Not only do you find motorhome stops on PitchUp, but they also provide information about local bike and walking routes, pubs and events. To start searching for motorhome stops, you can visit the PitchUp website.

Park4Night

This is a free app that can be downloaded and shows all sorts of motorhome facilities including stops on an easy to use interactive map.

UK Motorhomes

If you are looking for a website which only includes stopovers for motorhomes, the “Extensive list of motorhomes stopovers” selected by UK Motorhomes is the place to be. This list comprises officially recognised overnight campervan parking in the UK and Ireland.

Forest Parks

In Northern Ireland there are a number of forest parks that are government owned and controlled and where it is possible to stay overnight. Visit the link below for further information.

Forest Camping Booking

Marinas

Waterways Ireland operate marina facilities throughout Ireland . These often have toilet, waste disposal and fresh water facilities. It is possible to access these facilities with a Waterways Ireland Smart Card which can be purchased online.

Waterways Ireland Smart Card

Wild Camping

Ireland generally is a motorhome friendly place and wild camping on the whole is tolerated. Many councils put up ‘No Overnight Parking’ signs and use height restriction barriers in some sensitive locations where this is not welcomed.

We will look into some general rules for wild camping with a motorhome on the Island of Ireland, giving you some useful tips to get the most out of your trip. We thoroughly recommend wild camping, but do be aware of the advantages and disadvantages:

Pros

The scenery in much of the country is stunning, making it an awesome place to wild camp.

There are heaps of rural areas, so you’re sure to find a quiet spot pretty easily; you can also find remote areas where there aren’t any campsites/other guests.

Most activities or sights are accessible without too long of a drive.

You can stay overnight legally but with a wild vibe at one of the several campsites run by the Northern Ireland Forestry Service.

Cons

You can only motorhome wild camp if you’ve asked permission from the landowner to park overnight.

Similarly, you shouldn’t linger in your camping spot the next morning – the wild camping principle is to arrive late and leave early.

Laws of Wild Camping

Wild camping isn’t permitted in Ireland/Northern Ireland unless you’ve obtained permission from the landowner. The exception is in some Northern Ireland Forestry Service sites.

Wild camping without permission is a civil offence, in other words, non-arrestable. However, not moving on when requested to (by a security officer, landowner or police) can be classed as trespass. Always pack up and move on if asked to, we don’t want to give motorhome lovers a bad name!

We are known for our hospitality here in Ireland/Northern Ireland, meaning there are many options when it comes to parking up for the night, the easiest is if you find a spot ask the landowner if you can stay for a night they are generally happy for a night or two.

In reality many people wild camp all over Ireland and rarely have a problem.

Overnight Parking vs Wild Camping

There is a difference between wild camping and overnight parking. Overnight parking is parking up for the night and moving on early in the morning. No awnings, furniture, BBQs, generators, washing lines or anything outside the vehicle. In many remote places if you arrive late in the evening and leave early in the morning there will generally be no issues unless there is a sign specifically banning this.

Wild Camping Etiquette

Arrive late and leave early – free camping isn’t the time for a long lie-in or a lengthy barbecue.

Park out of sight of main roads and houses; have your van as “hidden” as possible.

Respect the locals and if they ask you to leave, do so willingly.

Ask locals, police, wardens or attendants if its ok to park up overnight.

Don’t ignore ‘No Camping’ signs or similar

Don’t allow any waste to escape into the environment.

Follow the “leave no trace” principle: take away all your litter; be respectful of your environment and its wildlife; and don’t light a fire.

Ireland/Northern Ireland can get cold even in summer, especially at night, so bring at least one set of warm clothes (hoodie/fleece, leggings/thermals, long-sleeved top, hat and thick socks) on your trip. Bring as much warm bedding as your campervan space allows. It can rain a lot too, so bring waterproofs.

Ireland/Northern Ireland are generally safe countries, but do tell someone back home where you’re going to be every night. You can share your proposed location via what3words (don’t leave this until the last minute, as you may have to drive back towards civilisation for a phone signal).

Stock up on food, water and other drinks before arriving at your wild camping location – don’t rely on finding a local shop open late.

Have a look online to find the nearest campsite to your proposed free camping spot; it’s always worth having a backup.

Don’t unpack too much stuff for the night (outdoor table etc) in case you’re asked to move.

Contribute to the local economy if you can.

Motorhome rental advice for newbies

Are you hiring a motorhome or Campervan for the first time? If so it can be daunting and there can be a lot to take in. But it shouldn’t be, let this quick guide run you through some of the key things to consider and put you at ease about your maiden Voyage.

Plan Your Route

The first thing to consider is where you want to go and how long do you want to stay. In Ireland, travelling by Motorhome or Campervan is by far the best way to experience all it has to offer. It’s also good for catering for children of varied age groups due to the variety of activities you can plan. Of course, we encourage you to take our vehicles beyond Ireland to UK Mainland and even Europe if you wish.

Pick one of our suggested routes within Ireland or do your own research on popular tourist routes and you wont be disappointed. For a more tailored approach, think about where all you would like to visit and then join the dots to plot yourself a bespoke route.

Plan in where you will stop off and where you will stay over each night. Think about the distances you have to travel between and how long this will likely take. This will simplify your itinerary and give an idea of how many days it will take to complete your desired trip. For overnight stays you have the option of a campsite, a legal stopover and wild camping. Please see our Route Guide section for information on all three.

In short, its best to have a plan in place before you travel. However, the beauty of a motorhome holiday is that this plan doesn’t have to be strictly adhered to. You can tweak the plan or scrap it altogether in search of a totally new adventure.

Regardless of where you choose to travel, all of our modern vehicles are fully equipped with water, heating and cooking facilities to cater for any type of trip that you want. It is advisable to book into a campsite at least every few days to refill the water, charge the batteries and empty the waste tanks (more on that below). You will be given a full run through of the vehicle systems and how to look after the motorhome when collecting it. It’s fairly straight forward and you will pick it up in no time.

Choose Your Motorhome

The vehicle you choose will largely be dictated by the number of people travelling and the layout you require.

Our VW Transporter Campervan is the perfect compact option and is suitable for couples or small families. Its smaller size allows you to travel places not accessible to larger vehicles and it will be easier to drive and park. It sleeps up to 4 people in two super comfortable beds. There is no toilet or shower built in but these can be hired as portable extras.

Our Zefiro 696 is perfect for small families (up to 4), friends and couples.  It has a fixed island bed at the rear which offers luxury and privacy. A second double bed lowers electronically over the lounge area meaning you have a large liveable space during the day and a bed for 2 additional people at night.

Our Zefiro 675 is perfect for larger families, multiples couples or friends. It has 2 large bunk beds at the rear and a large double bed over the cab. The separation between the front and rear beds offers good privacy at night and an intelligent layout provides for ample storage. Early risers can get up in the morning and prepare breakfast without having to wake anyone else or fold away beds.

Motorhome Equipment

You will want to consider what to bring with you for your stay. Please see our equipment list which details everything that our motorhomes come supplied with. Have a think about what you would like to have on your holiday with you. This will differ between everyone and will be based on your interests and the type of holiday you are after. For example families with children may wish to bring toys and games whilst those into hiking will need more outdoor attire. Don’t forget about essentials like toiletries, cleaning products and toilet roll.

Storage is another important consideration. All our motorhomes have a large garage space which will take larger items and indeed any of your stuff that you wish to put in there. Our Campervan does not have this facility and will have less storage space in general.

All vehicles have internal cupboards for the equipment that you will keep inside. Consider bringing some plastic tubs or boxes to keep your items separate and stop them from moving around too much during travel. Depending on your location and travel plans it might be helpful to take the vehicle to your home on the first day of travel to pack your kit directly from your house rather than having to pack in into your car first. Alternatively, we can drop your vehicle to your home for an extra charge – quoted upon request.

The power into your motorhome will be provided by electricity or gas (propane) systems.

Vehicle Systems

Vehicles come with 2 electrical systems which are 12v and 230v. The 12v system runs off the leisure battery and can be used at all times. Anything with a 12v plug or USB connection like a mobile phone charger can be run off the vehicle leisure battery. The TVs in all our motorhomes have a 12v connection meaning they can be watched at all times.

The 230v system will only work when hooked up to mains electricity (likely at a campsite) via an electric hook up cable which will come supplied in your vehicle. All conventional 230v appliances which have a domestic 3 pin plug can only be used when the vehicle is hooked up.

Electrical items that produce heat like a toaster or microwave produce a lot of current and may trip the electrics system of the campsite. Don’t make the mistake of bringing these items from your home to use in the vehicle. We have in stock some of these items that have been specifically designed for motorhome use (low output power). They are available as hireable extras.

Alternatively, you can do without as these items are mainly just a convenience and our vehicles are already equipped with a gas hob, whistle kettle, oven/grill to allow you to boil water and cook anyway.

Motorhome Specific – Heating/hot water/fridge

The heating and hot water system will work off electricity or gas. If hooked up mains you have the option of running off gas, electricity or a mix of both. If not hooked up, the gas system will power the heating and hot water. The fridge is a 3 way fridge and will use either electric hook up, gas or the leisure battery for power so you will never be stuck.

Campervan Specific – Heating/fridge

The heating will run off the vehicle main diesel tank via a diesel night heater. There is a control panel in the rear that allows you to select the desired temperature and the heater will heat the vehicle to and maintain that temperature. There is a sink for running water but there will be no hot water available. The fridge/freezer will run off the leisure battery.

Our vehicles undergo full habitation checks annually to ensure that all the systems are in safe and working order. They are fitted with smoke and carbon monoxide alarms that are regularly tested and come supplied with a fire extinguisher and fire blanket. Full safety advice will be given at handover.

Driving Advice

Our vehicles are all below the 3500kg limit meaning they can be driven on a normal full driving licence. If your not used to driving a larger vehicle they can feel a bit daunting when first getting into the drivers seat but we will give you an opportunity to test drive and after a few minutes on the road you will feel much more comfortable.

We advise that you drive slowly and leave extra time for your journey, be aware of your mirrors (which stick out further than usual) and don’t allow other drivers to put you under any pressure; you’re on your holidays after all. That said, we advise against causing tailbacks and being an annoyance to other drivers. If you notice a build-up of cars behind you, it’s courteous to pull over safely in a suitable place and let them pass. On single track roads be vigilant and make use of passing places to allow you to pass oncoming vehicle and also to let vehicles behind to pass you.

All our motorhomes are fitted with a reversing camera or parking sensors which come in really useful for parking and low speed manoeuvring but we would advise having one person to exit the vehicle and guide you into any parking space if it is safe to do so. The speed limits for our motorhomes are the same as what they would be in your car.

Both motorhomes are around 3m in height and the campervan is 2m so remember this when entering car parks/tolls. When planning your trip it is best to check with attractions you intend to visit if there is any height restriction at their venue.

Maintenance Tips

Once you are on your travels the only thing left to do is relax and unwind wherever you choose to venture. It might be useful to consider how you will get around locally if you don’t wish to do small journeys in your vehicle. A lot of people choose to bring bicycles and E-Bikes are becoming ever more popular. Our motorhomes are fitted with bike racks making this a good option for you to consider.

Our vehicles will require limited maintenance such as filling the water tank, emptying waste tanks and replenishing the gas if required. Fresh water is required for showering, washing up and flushing the toilet (vehicle dependant). Filling the water tank can be done at campsites and many fuel stations. Top it up at every opportunity as you don’t want to run out.

Motorhome Specific

In the Motorhomes there are 2 waste tanks; the grey water and the black water (toilet cassette). The grey water tank collects the water that goes down the plug holes. When washing dishes etc try to scrape as much excess food as possible into the bin first. To empty the tank simply drive onto the grey water disposal area at the campsite and pull a lever under the van. The toilet cassette will need to be emptied every few days. If staying at a location with toilets you may prefer to use their facilities so that the cassette doesn’t need emptied as often. Toilet tablets are recommended in the cassette to keep odours down and help break up the waste for ease of disposal. Toilet tablets are supplied as an optional extra. The cassette simply detaches from the motorhome and can be carried or wheeled to the campsite waste disposal point where it can be emptied.

The gas systems works of gas cylinders that you can purchase or swap and many shops and campsites. Your hire charge will include one cylinder of gas. A second cylinder will come supplied in the vehicle and if used there will be a charge of £35. You will want to ensure that you don’t run out of gas as this will be your source of cooking and heat when not hooked up to mains. If you always keep a second full cylinder in the motorhome you can simply swap over once the first runs out.

Campervan Specific

There are no waste tanks in our campervan. The water trickles out through a hose underneath the vehicle as soon as it goes down the sink plug hole. A collapsible bucket will be provided in the vehicle. This should be placed underneath the outlet hose when stationary to collect the waste water. It can then be disposed of at an appropriate area.

The campervan will use a smaller gas cylinder located in a locker at the rear. There is only room for one cylinder so only one will be supplied. If it runs out it will be your responsibility to get it swapped for a full one or you can leave it and we will sort it on your return.

Handover

You will be sent a link to a handover video a few days before your trip. This video will fully explain the vehicle and its systems so that you’re up to speed when you come to collect. This will save you time on the day and you will also be able to refer to the video when out on your travels should you need to. You will have an opportunity to clarify any issues on the day of collection. You will be completely comfortable with using the vehicles prior to leaving our base. Hopefully you’ve found this quick guide useful and our hints and tips can make things pretty straight forward. Get out there and enjoy yourself in one of our top class vehicles. Book yours today.

How to leave no trace while travelling

The Leave No Trace Principles have been developed to minimise impacts to the natural environment. Following the basic principles will allow you to enjoy your holiday in a sustainable manor that will preserve our most loved places for generations to come.

The Seven Principles of Leave No Trace provide an easily understood framework of minimum impact practices for anyone visiting the outdoors. They can be applied anywhere — from remote wilderness areas, to local parks. Each Principle covers a specific topic and provides detailed information for minimizing impacts. We have taken the information that is relevant to a motorhome holiday and summarised it for you below.

Plan Ahead and Prepare

Weather Conditions – Our motorhomes will provide a nice warm safe place of refuge. However, be sure to bring appropriate clothing and resources if you are planning to venture into the outdoors. The weather can turn quickly and you are best being prepared. Avoid travel in extreme weather.

Planning ahead. Planning your trip in advance will not only ensure you maximise your enjoyment; it will also help protect our environment. Please give some thought to the following:

Timing – plan your journeys and stops in advance. Try to avoid travelling on busy roads at peak times and getting stuck in traffic.

Bring the right equipment– correct footwear will help prevent damage to the natural terrain. Plan for the activities you will be doing and bring whatever equipment you will need. Consider items like maps, torches etc.

Don’t forget to ensure your motorhome is fully stocked with everything you need before you go. Find out what’s included in your vehicle and consider any extras you will need before you go. See our kit list for more information.

Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces

When walking or hiking try to stick to well established trails. When setting up a camp or area for activities try to use resilient types of terrain or hard surfaces such as rock, gravel or dry grass.

Dispose of Waste Properly

Anything left behind will affect the environment, wildlife and other people. Make sure all waste is disposed of appropriately.

The vehicles grey and black water tanks should be disposed of at a suitable facility at a campsite for example.

Pet waste, particularly in urban areas, should be bagged and placed in the appropriate bins.

Rubbish, litter & leftover food should be taken home or disposed of in an appropriate bin.

Leave What You Find

Avoid picking plants or flowers to bring home. Similarly, leave rocks and other natural items where you find them so that others can enjoy discovering them.

No-one is saying not to build a sandcastle, but don’t build structures, make site alterations or dig holes elsewhere.

Don’t cause damage to plant life or natural habitat and avoid hanging items from trees

Minimise Campfire Impact

Campfires can bring a warming sense of togetherness, but they can also have a lasting negative impact on the environment. Avoid having a campfires at all unless you are competent and can do so safely. If there has been a sustained period of dry weather do not light any sort of wild fire as it could spread out of control.

Use mount fires, campsite facilities or fire rings if available.

Keep campfires small and extinguish them completely before leaving. Never leave them unattended.

Don’t burn anything that produces toxic fumes including plastic.

Return the campfire site to as normal of a state as possible before leaving.

Respect Wildlife

Avoid interacting with or spooking any animals including wildlife and livestock. Observe and enjoy them from a distance.

Keep control of any pets.

Do not feed animals and keep food supplies and rubbish out of their reach.

Be Considerate to Other Visitors

The goal of Leave No Trace, is to create sustainable tourism in these areas without affecting nature. Following the principles is the best way to do this and allows every person to enjoy the same experience as you. Don’t forget to also be considerate of others, try to be courteous, avoid loud noises, camp away from trails and above all, respect everyone’s experience.
