I think most of the Hotels in Killarney frown on Motorhomes not to mind them parking on their property Brendan. Afaik the Flesk was opened last year at the weekends for €15 euro a night with no Toilet block facilities. ehu, water, grey water and toilet disposal avalable and you pay at the Hotel at the entrance.

Failing that, the Loreto road is just below the gleneagle , HegArty body builders always have large trucks parked on the roadside , couldn't see anyone saying anything about a camper In the middle of them
Another option would be further out the road, the first car park for the national park does not have a height barrier at the second entrance to it, I see campers here from time to time. It is about a 10 minute walk from the glen on the Jarvey road ( safe)

So has anyone ever stayed at the Gleneagles car park then? We’ve got a gig coming up there soon and the Flesk campsite will not be open.

I have heard of people drinking there all night and been asked or maybe I should say told to move on when they come out, you are not welcome there Jason. I have seen Motorhomes parked across the road probably in gateways into fields. don,t know if they over night'd though.

I have also talked to people who drink there and when told to move they simply said you served me the drink and as youh know it is illegal to drive with drink taken and I'll move when sober enough meanwhile I'm going for a snooze to sober up.

Yeah that is what they told them and they didn't move or get a good nights sleep, Who needs that hassle when out for a night, well I don't anyway.

Doubt any Killarney campsites will be open in February.

Closest place you could overnight would maybe be Ross Castle but I'd be much less inclined to overnight there at a weekend than midweek but it might be quite this time of year.

Vans not allowed stay at Ross Castle ,Lidl car park near the cathedral might be a possibility

Jason, when you pass the Flesk campsite going out of town there is a road to the left before you get to the Service station which I heard of Motorhomes parking on . The last time I walked past it the hedge looked to be a bit overgrown on to the road but if it worked out it is not far from the Gleneagle.

Well then, having spoken to the reception desk of Gleneagles over the telephone this evening, I can confirm that I will indeed not be staying in their car park, as they will not permit it. So I will look up that location Pat. Cheers.

Boo to Gleneagles! I suppose you just have too much tourism down there, we don’t figure.

Personally I treat Killarney the same as Galway ,they don't want you until it suits them to rip you off in their campsites

Remember, a motor caravan, as a road-legal vehicle, can be parked in the same manner as other vehicles at any place on the public road (and that includes public car parks) where it is permitted to park under local or national regulations.
Just pay the relevant parking fee if there is one and park in a manner that takes into account any relevant road markings which may indicate how a vehicle should be parked.
Obviously, if there is restricted access there is not much you can do about it, other than make a complaint to who put the restriction in place, even if there is no legal basis for such a restriction. Hight barriers at public car parks generally have no legal standing, they are just a bully tactic councils use to impose their opinion when they cannot make a lawfull regulation.
