The Region in Detail
Your comprehensive travel guide for camping Kerry.
Ring of Kerry: Highlights at a Glance
The Ring of Kerry is Ireland's most famous panoramic road. 🏞️ Plan enough time to enjoy the spectacular views of the coast, lakes, and mountains. Note: It can get crowded here during peak season! If you prefer it quieter, head to the Skellig Ring Road, a less well-known but equally charming alternative.
Stay Flexible: Better to Leave the Motorhome Behind?
Some inland roads in Kerry are very narrow and winding. 🚐 Especially with a large motorhome, it can get tight here. It's worth parking the motorhome at a campsite and exploring the area by bike or on foot. Organized bus tours are also a good option. Note: Tolls are charged on some motorways in Ireland.
Off the Beaten Path: The Caragh River Valley
Get off the beaten track and discover the Caragh River Valley! 🤫 This hidden gem offers untouched nature, traditional Irish villages, and fantastic hiking opportunities. Here you can unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet, far away from the hustle and bustle of the Ring of Kerry.
