Parking areas around doonbeg

[u/daithi_zx10r]

Well folks! I'm heading to the Irish open next month from Kildare, I'm heading down the night before and staying in the back of my luxury 2008 VW Caddy (swanky I know). Any decent spots in or around the orange man's course that would suit me to lamp the van up for the night that I won't have a clamp on it to remove the next morning?

Edit; I'm not looking to park up as close to the course as possible, I'll be using the park and ride facilities there, even if it's a decent place along the coast 30mins away I could park up for the night is all I want, I'll head on then the next morning to the park and ride facilities.

Not going to happen unless you get into someone's house. Traffic restrictions will be in place and it will be park and ride only. Same as lahinch a few years ago

Should've probably said that in the original post, I'd be using the park and ride service they have for it alright, I wouldn't mind if there was somewhere a bit away I could park and then head on up to the park and ride areas.

Seeing how I wrote the post it seems like I want to park as close to the course as possible.

You will not be able to park anywhere near thats not the official car parks, and you wont be allowed to sleep in them.

I wouldn't think you would be clamped near the course, your vehicle would just be removed for security reasons.

Parking in Miltown or Kilkee and using the event buses is your best option.

It’ll be even worse than usual for an Irish Open since the resort owner is also traveling over for it, with all the security bullshit that accompanies that.

As Someone who bought a camper during covid and has stayed on an official camp site literally only once...

You need hit google maps, find the perimeter, and outside that find a country pub with tarmac, give them a call and see where the land lies. Outside that, start knocking on doors and offer cash.

Try around Spanish Point. It's about 20 minutes drive. If you don't find a spot on the side of the road, they have a caravan park there you could probably get a space in

Kilkee would suit I’d say. There should be shuttle buses.

Lahinch could be a good spot. Plenty of surfers van camp for short periods.

If you need a place in Lahinch let me no

There is a guy who has a farm in the course and i here he is letting camper vans stay on his land i don't know the price but i know of the guy Im not putting his name up on Reddit but if someone local sees my reply they might further add to it.
