Camping and caravanning holidays are great because they are one of the few options that allow you to take your dog on holiday. Our pets are part of the family. We all know how difficult it is to leave your dog behind when you are setting off on your holidays and the hassle and expense of getting them into kennels.
For the enthusiastic dog owner, the possibilities for walks are endless in Ireland – although remember to keep your dog on a leash at all times as sheep can pop up out of the most unlikely places!

Some sites have restriction on the number and breed of dogs allowed on the site and some may charge a small fee to bring your dog.
