Munster forms the southern part of the island of Ireland and is particularly interesting for camping holidaymakers due to its fantastic landscapes. The vast national parks and the picturesque coastline with its cliffs are the perfect terrain for camping with dogs or children. The famous Dingle Peninsula and the Killarney Conservation Area with Lake Leane, for example, can be visited during a trip. Water sports enthusiasts are drawn to the sea when camping in Munster.

Special features of camping in Munster

Munster in the south of the island of Ireland has a large number of natural wonders in store for holidaymakers. The region, with its mighty cliffs along the coast, enchanting fjord-like bays and the green landscapes of Killarney National Park, is ideal for extensive tours by bike or on foot. Many motorhome travellers follow the famous holiday routes such as the 179-kilometre Ring of Kerry along the coast and are inspired by the breathtaking views. Along the route, there are historic fortresses as well as natural wonders and charming small towns such as Castletownbere and Tralee with their music culture and traditional Irish pubs are tempting places to stop off. By the sea, there are various opportunities for wind-dependent water sports such as kitesurfing and surfing.

Travelling to Munster

To travel to Munster by motorhome, you have to take the ferry twice. The first is in Calais, France, where you board the boat to Calais. You can then cross over to Ireland in Liverpool and Holyhead in Wales, for example. From Fishguard, you can cross the St George's Channel to Rosslare Harbour in Munster. In Great Britain, a stopover in the lively metropolis of London is well worthwhile. But the traditional fishing and harbour culture in Liverpool also has its very own charm.

While the ferries from Great Britain usually arrive in Dublin, the ships from Roscoff in France take their passengers to Cork. Holidaymakers travel from Cherbourg to Rosslare. Both cities are located in the centre of the Munster region and are a convenient starting point for travelling on to the famous natural wonders on the island of Ireland. The French ports of departure are mainly located in Brittany and Normandy in the north-west of the country. It is best to travel via Lille, Paris, Le Mans and Rennes. From the centre of Germany, it is around 1,300 kilometres to Munster.

Destinations in Munster

Many of the campsites in Munster are set against the stunning backdrop of national parks and coastal cliffs. Cities such as Cork, Tralee and Limerick are also tempting places to visit.

Travelling on the Dingle Peninsula

One of the most popular destinations in Munster is the Dingle Peninsula with its famous excursion and hiking routes. Holidaymakers can follow the picturesque coastal formations with their bird cliffs either on foot or by motorhome. In addition to the majestic cliffs, the lush green meadows, for example around the Slieve Mish mountains, are well worth seeing. Small villages and towns such as Camp, Tralee and Dingle inspire with their tranquil ambience.

Natural wonders in Killarney National Park

An absolute must for nature lovers is Killarney National Park in the south-west of Munster. Here, holidaymakers can camp by the clear lakes of Lough Leane, Muckross and Upper Lake. Ancient fortifications such as Ross Castle can be admired on their shores. If you feel like it, you can visit the monastery island of Innisfallen Island. For leisure-oriented holidaymakers, Killarney's golf courses are highly recommended.

Munster's cultural metropolis Cork

Cork lies to the south and is one of Munster's cultural centres. The city's film festival in particular enjoys an international reputation. Away from this, it is worth strolling through the market and buying traditional products from Munster. The old Elisabeth Fort and the neighbouring neo-Gothic cathedral of St. Fin Barres are also worth a visit.

Activities and excursions

Holidaymakers in Munster enjoy cycling and hiking to the dramatic cliffs of the island of Ireland. The winds of the Atlantic also tempt you to go kitesurfing and surfing.

Discover the marvellous landscapes of Ireland while hiking

Hiking trails such as the Ring of Kerry, the Ring of Beara and the Dingle Way are the best way to explore Ireland's natural beauty. The panoramic routes offer fantastic views of the majestic cliffs along the coast. You will also pass secluded villages where Gaelic Irish is still spoken.

Follow the cycle paths through Munster

Well-maintained cycle paths run parallel to many of the hiking trails. Sometimes you can also switch to the comparatively quiet roads, such as the Ring of Beara panoramic route through the countryside.

For ambitious athletes: surfing and kiting

Windsurfing and kitesurfing is an activity for real enthusiasts and ambitious athletes. The west coast of Munster offers particularly good conditions for being pulled across the water by the wind. One of the top terrains is Brandon Bay in the north of the Dingle Peninsula.

Gastronomy

Irish cuisine is particularly characterised by products from the organic farms in Munster. When it comes to meat products, lamb plays a particularly important role. The animals often live freely and are reared organically. Lamb, beef and pork are often used to make the typical Irish stews, hearty stews with potatoes. Crispy roast beef and juicy steaks are also served in Munster's restaurants. In the coastal and harbour towns, fresh catches from the Atlantic are served in the cooking pot. In season, you can also enjoy oysters, clams and scallops here. Many restaurants also sell lobster and crab. Salmon and other fish are usually eaten smoked or grilled.

Best time to visit

Thanks to the Gulf Stream, the climate in Ireland is comparatively mild all year round. However, the most popular months for a camping holiday in Munster are June, July, August and September. This is when the average maximum temperatures hover between 17 and 20 degrees Celsius. At times, of course, the values can be significantly higher. In July, due to the increased likelihood of rain, appropriate equipment should be on board the motorhome. There is significantly less rainfall in Munster between February and June. During this period, however, temperatures can fall below the 10-degree mark - in February even down to the freezing point. During the day, however, the thermometer sometimes reads between 10 and 18 degrees Celsius.
