Ireland is a small country with a versatile range of landscapes and almost 5,000 miles of coastline which makes it’s the perfect playground for adventurers who are lucky enough to own a campervan. The passion and zest for owning a campervan in Ireland is triggered by a want and need to live life to the full and the reward is getting to explore the magic Ireland has to offer, from scenic landscapes to outdoor pursuits, cooking alfresco, attending music festivals and a certain grá for the freedom of life on the road.
Thanks to the compact size there is almost no limit to where you can go. Here at Anchor Point Motorhomes we have seen an increase in demand for campervans in Ireland among singles, couples and families alike. There are so many good reasons for this and the main points are highlighted below.
Manageable Distances
Ireland’s relatively small size means you can travel in a campervan from one end of the country to the other in just a few hours. This allows you to explore diverse landscapes including Europe’s largest cliff walks, glacial mountain ranges, lush valleys, blanket bogs and stunning inland lakes and waterways.
Handling on Narrow Roads
Many of Ireland’s roads, especially in rural areas, are narrow and winding. A compact campervan with their lower centre of gravity makes for a more dynamic drive performance, the perfect way to navigate Ireland’s picturesque villages and scenic routes comfortably, where larger vehicles might struggle.
More Parking Options
No more passing by serene spots with height barriers, you have way more choice in where to park, explore and soak in the views.
Short Trips and Weekend Use
A campervan doubles up as a people carrier, an excellent choice for taking the crew, grandchildren, friends to sporting events and for weekend use to get away from it all or partake in your favourite activities.
Cost of Living & Savings
With the cost of travel and accommodation on the rise in Ireland and Europe, campervans offer a cheaper solution for holidays and weekend breaks, with low insurance and tax. It’s also more economical on fuel than larger sized motorhomes.
Ferry Travel
Going abroad in a campervan is a more relaxed and easy mode of transport especially when travelling with children, as you get to avoid the hassle of crowded airports, carrying luggage, flight times, stopovers and all that goes with it. Also it's cheaper to book a Ferry to France, Spain or the UK than is is to fly and what's more is that it is also a more environmentally friendly way to travel.
Proximity to Nature
You’re never far from stunning natural beauty in Ireland. Coastal drives, mountain passes, and serene lakes are often just a short drive away, making it easy to wake up to a new breathtaking view each journey.
Cheaper Accommodation
With the increasing costs of hotel stays in Ireland, you can find good parking spots near hotels and local attractions where you get a room with the view and still live it up at a much reduced cost.

Ireland's combination of scenic beauty, compact size, and diverse outdoor activities make it an ideal destination for campervan travel.
