Tips for First-Time Campers

Courtesy of the Irish Caravan and Camping Council, as reported by the Sunday World:

1. Plan ahead: Plan your route and book early or ring ahead to make sure there’s availability, particularly in the peak season during July and August.
2. Pack sensibly: Ireland can experience all seasons in one day, even during the summer, so pack accordingly. Ideally, campers should compile a checklist so they’ll only bring what you think they’ll use.
3. Get a helping hand: When on-site, get to know your camping neighbours and don’t be afraid to ask them for a helping hand.
