Hi,

I saw in a previous topic that the hotel in Clonea Strand does not like motor homes - is this still the case. More importantly, there is a field beside the hotel which seems to be accessible to cars and campers etc. Is it possible to park a motorhome in this field or anywhere else around there? Finally, is there a height restriction in the car park on the left going towards Clonea Strand? Thanks

We were in Caseys for the May bank Holiday and the carpark at the hotel has a barrier with an access code on it. There is a car park behind the shop on the other side of the road and i think it is owned by Gordons Shop. Im not sure what the situation with parking is there. I think it ma be possible but there is a charge. I dont remember seeing any height barrier on either car park.

Zacky, do you think it is possible for a motor home to stay there overnight or for couple of nights? Dont want to stay in the actual caravan site as will have a few kids so there is obviously the expense of it, plus the fact that I didnt find the site very friendly a couple of years ago when we were last there.

Hi

There is a height Barrier in the public car park on the left before Casey's Caravan Park and motorhomes do park behind the shop at Gordons for €4 per day only no overnighting sign at entrance..we have stayed in Casey's several times and never seen any motorhomes overnight around Clonea Pity as it's a lovely spot.

In Dungarvan itself sort drive only 4/5 km there is a few places to overnight no problem.

You see no overnight MHs at Clonea because the Campsite owners in the locality are vehemently opposed to any MH parking other than in their sites. They lead an attempt a few years ago the get the Local Authority to ban MH parking at the Lookout in Dungarvan. Luckily Phoenix MotorHome Club reps were able to persuade the LA otherwise.

Dungarvan has great potential for a proper Aire like Cobh. Hopefully the LA will see sense some day.

Thank you for review - looks good, want to bring down the kids (11 & 8) and wandering if there are good things to do for them down there.
