Hi there I am new to this having made the switch from a touring caravan I am now a proud owner of an Adria Coral. Delighted. Heading to Galway Oyster Festival in a couple of weeks and fancy some wild camping near the city instead of the main parks in Salthill. Any suggestions??

Ynotgrant - be sure to look up the difference between "wildcamping" V's "parking" as it was a topic discussed here recently.

Enjoy your new MH!!! I'm sure the galway oyster festival will be a blast!

Galway City is not at all motorhome friendly, however The Galway Harbour Company permits overnight parking in their parking areas for a reasonable fee and electricity is also available.
The area was taken over for entertainment during The Volvo Ocean Race and was not available for that event, better check with regards to the Oyster Festival.
Galway City Council officials were very active during the Volvo Week moving on motorhomes parked at Salthill and other 'suitable' places, Parking of motorhomes was not permitted in the off-street carparks.

Its all go to do with 'temporary dwelling' bye-laws being applied to us.

Was there any other vans in saltill, as they don't want them parking in salthill.
