Joe Chapman had opened a new motorhome parking site in Fethard on sea co Wexford .52.183405 - 6.836572. Contract no 087 245 3687.
6 Hardcover Bay's with grass divider, water taps and Black water dump.
Gray water and EHU to follow .15euro.
If it is used this farm stopover might catch on.

This has got to be encouraged and this guy will have to gather quite a lot of 15 euros before he breaks even,this has to be a possitive and a note to campsite owners that Motorhomers can get parking without being ripped off. :up:

My only hope is that people use it. As was said before it will be a while before he makes a single Euro. Just like France Passion there is a lot of Farms and small business could follow his lead. Ardmore is another one .
Also he is a sort of neighbor of mine, so let's get behind him , and maybe just maybe word will get about,we are not Free loader's.
But mad lunatics in tin can's on 4 wheels

What the chances of getting this stop onto the app. It's an easier place to store references for a future trip than inputing gps coordinates.

Bring a bale of hay and you have an audience of cows. Oh if you run out of loo roll the hay has a second use but don't feed it to the cows afterwards

Hi if you are using motorhome parking app, please post a review on it as it helps other members and also helps the owner with a bit of promotion.
Enjoy your hols

Would do Malcolm, but I'm on iOS and the review function isn't on the app yet.

I'll put a review in this thread and report the post, maybe a mod will be kind enough to add it to the app?

Start review/
[Very good site. Stayed for 3 nights even though only the planned the one night initially.

Easy access to the fresh water taps, black dump is out of the way in the corner. No dedicated grey point but the pitches and driveway are rough hardcore so no issue with it draining away quickly.
Good size grass dividers between pitches.

Lovely little grass area to the side for a kick around or puck around with the kids.

10-15 min walk to 2 beaches (one not for swimming due to currents, but is used for water sports) and about the same walk in the opposite direction into Fethard.
The Londis in Fethard has a rubbish compactor, 2 black bags for €7.
Tesco in New Ross has a self service laundrette on the side so you're covered from all angles.]/
End review.

Joe seems a straight up kind of guy and keeps a close eye on the site. He's fairly quite so far but has only been open a few weeks and I'm sure things will pick up. He's got the facilities and the location.
We will definitely be back.

You might add there is a Outdoor laundry unit at Wallace's filming station in Wellington Bridge .

Yes,
Public laundrys may be an addition we could add to the app at a future update. Useful things when on the road.

Good shout. We used New Ross as it was en-route when we were heading away.
