Portumna

Only ever stayed there once and that was 4 years ago, I thought the regulars were lifting a man hole cover to dispose cassette waste, I might be wrong and mixing it up with some place else.

Currently sitting on Portumna aires site. Intend staying 3-4 days. Very, very clean. Trash collected twice daily by CoCo worker. He also checks that tickets are in date. Currently 9 campers in situ.

If your paying your €10.00 each night I don’t think anyone cares how long you stay ,loved portumna great town-great pubs enjoy

What are the consequences of over staying?
I have heard stories of guys, swapping spaces in Portumna in order to stay longer.
It's important to remember that a few cute hoors could balls up things for everyone.
On the otherhand, because Portumna is now very popular, maybe now is the time to lobby for a third row to be developed.
Thoughts?

I don’t think we should be running ourselves down just because a Few people have a disregard for others, (happens in all areas of life in my option) hope they will someday get the message. I would like to encourage Davy.

Keep up the good work Davy as the majority of Motorhome rs will benefit and be grateful.

Portumna is overflowing tonight, from what I have heard.
5 extra vans parked more than bays provided.
This weekend is the proper start to the summer touring season.
Hopefully this is a once off event.

We’re our own worst enemies. Some people never learn, some don’t want to. Sad .

Don’t get me wrong I’m one for sticking to the 48hour rule but what I’m saying is if there room to stay a 3rd night I see no problem when we arrived to find there where about 8 empty spots when we went into the town and came back there were only 3 vans left, loads of room, we weren’t keeping anyone from having a space ,if we had of been staying a 3 rd night there was loads of spaces left, I still would have been paying my €10.00 if it had of been full that would have been a different matter, I would move on ,is it not better paying to keep Aires like portumna afloat rather than give it to some of the overpriced campsites if the room is available,I hear a lot on these forums about people complaining about private sites over charging ,I for one would rather leave my ten euro in portumna,I didn’t and I wound not keep other campers from parking anywhere as I’ve said I move on if the site states a maximum stay ,but I’m also saying if the rooms there why not use it .I’m sure there’s a saying let him who has done no wrong cast the first stone I feel greaved at being labelled a cute hoor I have stuck to every rule that there is in motorhoming and have never crossed any lines that would bring my hobby into disrepute, I’ve never had to climb down of a high horse

Ok you #####****##*#""#**#£"####_**"'*"" happy now

My reply would be, I am in complete agreement with what you have said. In fact I expressed the same opinion in my original post. My difficulty is that on an open platform such as a forum, we leave ourselves open to examination and criticism by others who are not of a like mind. By all means use common sense when visiting but don’t be giving ammunition to the ‘Mr Smiths’ of this world.
This is a difficult, if not critical, point in the fight for aires in the North. It could go well for us but it could be an absolute disaster setting our cause back years. I suppose I am simply saying think about what we post and reread it before pressing the send button. I usually preview my posts and think about what I am posting before committing.
