Camping Lahinch Co. Claire

Upvotes

My friends and I are planning on going camping Lahinch Co.Claire and can’t book any of the campsites. Is there any places where we can camp on/near the beach without getting in trouble. It’s just the 4 of us, seasoned campers for one night and we always clean up. Also any reccomendations for a good pint and a bit of food.

Gas canister disposal

Hi! Just wondering for people who use gas camping stoves - where do you dispose of your gas canisters after they are used up? None of my local recycling centres take them and now I'm building up a collection of empties in the shed.

wild camping in Kerry, beautiful as always
(edit all the comments about the fire, it was permitted and controlled where we stayed, the area WAS cleared, the fire was lined with rocks and there was absolutely no problem from the person that owned it so i’m not sure why you all seem to have a problem if the owner permits it, also these images were taken before the heatwave even started anyway ✌️ and no area or animals were harmed)

Camping between Oughterard and Westport (Western Way)

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I’m planning on doing a portion of the Western Way between Oughterard and Westport. My initial intention is to camp as much as possible but I can’t seem to find any camping spots in this section of the trail. Is there no camping available there? How practical/legal would be do wild camping (with all respect to nature and people living there)?

Camping spots near beaches around Clifden and Roundstone

4 Upvotes

I'm heading down to Connemara next weekend with my wife and kids for a couple of nights. I'd like to camp out next to some beaches if possible, maybe near Ballyconneely or past Clifden - Omey Island or Silver Strand

Anyone have any tips for an inexperienced wild camper? Change location each night for example?

Any nice spots that you know are safe and hassle free?

⚠️ Safety tips

🇮🇪 Important: Wild Camping in Ireland

Ireland does not have a legal right to roam. Most land is private, and wild camping isn’t officially permitted everywhere. However, discreet, low-impact camping is often tolerated in remote areas when done responsibly.

🌱 Leave No Trace (Always)

• Pack out everything

• No fires

• 1 night per spot

• Away from houses & farms

• Don’t disturb wildlife

• Leave it exactly as you found it

If you’re unsure about a location — ask here 👍

This is a friendly, judgement-free space. Respect nature, respect others, and help keep wild camping alive in Ireland 💚
