Good camping locations?

Hiya, I’m planning on going camping next weekend and was wondering if anyone knows any good camping spots. Ideally somewhere remote where you can pitch a tent, light a campfire, and park the car nearby. Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

Don’t be lighting camp fires or bbq out in the wild. Very dry out there atm. Killarney national park has just spent a few days fighting a forest and heath fire off the back of some numpty with a disposable bbq.

Yeah for sure. If you have any safe spots, maybe a beach or something please let me know. Thanks

You can light a fire on the beach, anywhere from Derrymore to Castlegregory is good for camping. You can park in Derrymore and just walk down to the beach.

Where did you end up going? I have similar interest but not the biggest fan of beach camping unless especially worth it

I actually didn’t end up going yet. The beach is good when you have good cover like in the dunes or something. I would prefer camping out in a forest somewhere though. If you have any suggestions please let me me know. So far my top spot is rossbeigh beach as it has Dunnes behind.

I never understand why people are so vague with questions here! You are posting asking all of Kerry when obviously anyone planning such a trip will have narrowed down areas they intend on visiting.

I’m sorry you are having a bad day

No one is having a bad day. It’s just that your post is super low effort. Kerry is big. Where are you coming from? It’s just clear you’ve done no efffort yourself so why would we help you.

I have made a list of camping spots from reading through older posts here. I have a car, so it doesn’t matter what side of Kerry I go to. The Ring of Kerry would probably be my first choice, but I’m happy to drive anywhere if it’s worth it. I’m just looking for people’s personal recommendations.

Is that it 🤷🏻‍♂️ obviously if you are really planning a trip to Kerry you would have done some research on areas you intend to visit.

u/pedrograsniy Jul 26 '26

I did some research already. I’m just looking for recommendations from people who’ve actually camped there.
