Doolin Co. Clare

Hi Folks, just had a wonderful 5 days at doolin, staying at a campsite for a change - Nagles.
As wild parking is rather limited here we noticed how much the local economy is missing out on.
As it was too windy to bbq -that's the excuse anyway - we dandered up to O'Connors each evening and spent approx 37 euros each night.
I mention this because - several days sitting watching the world go by - we counted on average about 5 vans per hour - driving down to the pier - and with nowhere to park up - a few came on site - some came in to Nagles to use water facilities, most turned and drove off.
This is a really lovely area and yet us motorhomers have nowhere to facilitate parking up to enjoy the area, without using a campsite. We did because it suited what we wanted to do, but usually we don't stay too long and tour.
Anyway - had a lovely 5 days and even watched a lady swim in the harbour with Dusty the dolphin.
took a trip to Inish Oir courtesy of a half price offer on Groupon with Bill O'brien ferry.
Regards

have stayed in the carpark across from nagles and have stayed at nagles.
The owner of nagles says the vans in the car park for free cause him no harm as he is usually well booked up in the sight.
vans also stay on the road outside the pub you mention even tho it is on quite a slope.
during the summer months the car park is usually filled to overflowing with vehicles so if planning to use it overnight get there after tourists have left or vry early before they arrive as there is very little room once filled to even turn.
