I read the article and I thought it was fairly rubbish. “Having” to was in a graveyard, boxxxcks. An American based in Germany who had travelled through France to Ireland who had either done no research, no forward planning or was perhaps too tight to use a paid facility.
Yes I agree there is a shortage of Aires here and a shortage of campsites especially for the short peak season. But she would have been charged €19 here including a shower, waste disposal, fresh water, and emptying facilities. Not the €35 to €50 quoted elsewhere in the article.
Whilst I agree with the lack of facilities there are far too many campervan and motorhome owners who feel they shouldn’t have to pay for anything. The type that will overnight in a free place and drive 50 miles to a free service point like Portumna and then carefully fold all their rubbish into small lots and fill every litter bin.
Or those that use a campsite once a week and get rid of a weeks worth of rubbish, fill every container with water and empty several 20 ltr containers of pee and poo. And then park in a lay-by again for free.
