  • Small, secluded and leafy tourer site on a working farm near Limerick
  • University of Limerick 15 minutes’ drive; Wild Atlantic Way 40 minutes
  • Seasonal produce, fresh eggs and honey for sale; cricket at weekends
Paying a visit to your kids at the University of Limerick but not keen to stay in the city? The tourer campsite at Crokers Farm is handily situated just 15 minutes’ drive away from the riverside campus. Well away from the buzz of the city but within easy reach, the site is set on a peaceful, tree-shaded family farm with sheep and beef cattle, vegetable and fruit gardens, and a whole host of ducks, geese and hens as well as honey bees. Separated by flowers, plants, and herbs (for your cooking) the spacious hardstanding pitches are sheltered by mature trees, and each has its own seating area with a picnic bench. Showers and a washing-up area are available on site, and there are handy communal fridges and freezers in which to store your edible goodies. You can stock up on honey and seasonal vegetables at the farm, and if you’re staying over the weekend, there are often cricket games or energetic airsoft tag games to watch or join in if you’re feeling energetic. Ballyneety (five minutes' drive away) is the local village, with a convenience store, petrol station and a pub with a beer garden and snooker table.

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked: We stopped in Crokers on our last night of a two week trip from Cork to the west of 🇮🇪 it was an delightful find, only an hour from home. We loved the setting, listening to the birds and the children played in the forest. Highly recommend and will be returning soon!

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked: Tranquil and peaceful only when not being used by a large group of people on exercise in the surrounding woods.
Secure and safe behind a keycode barrier.
If you like it very very rustic and have all your own facilities onboard.

Disliked: Only single toilet, sink and shower, very dirty.
The site looks very unkempt and sadly neglected.

Non-electric gravel and hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked: Der Platz ist mitten im Grünen, der Wald ist daneben. Der Preis und die Nähe zu Limerick passen.
Freundliches Personal und schnelle Kommunikation.

Disliked: Die sanitären Anlagen inkl. Abwaschplatz sind sehr in die Jahre gekommen, es braucht nicht viel, um den Platz aufzuwerten.

Sheila K. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked: This place has so much potential to be a fabulous rustic wooded campground. If you have camped in rustic campgrounds in the USA, it would feel familiar. We did have power and water at our site. We prepaid for our site but on arrival couldn't get through a security gate. A chance encounter with another camper who let us in saved us from a cold wet night in the driveway. We were there for 2 days and tried every day to reach the owner by phone and ringing the doorbell at the house with the reception sign. We ended up staying an extra two days by rebooking online because we were rained out of some of the activities we planned. We tried again to contact the owner or manager at out departure but had no success. I did get the gate code after the second booking and a conversation with someone wo rented a garden plot at the front of the property who said he would contact the owner.

Disliked: No manager on site

Local attractions

On the banks of the River Shannon, Limerick (15 minutes’ drive) is a hive of activity, packed with shops, galleries and museums. If you’re visiting to see your student offspring, there’s a whole heap of bars, pubs and restaurants just right for treating them to a meal out. You can also catch rugby games or book guided tours at Thomond Park (25 minutes), or go flat and jump racing at Limerick Racecourse (15 minutes). Golfers can get in on the act too, with Ballyneety Golf Club a mere five minutes’ drive away, while the future Ryder Cup venue Adare Manor Golf Club is 20 minutes’ drive. For spectacular coastlines, join the Wild Atlantic Way on the Shannon estuary (40 minutes) for dramatic seascapes, towering headlands and deserted sandy beaches. The arid limestone pavements of The Burren (an hour) and the awesome Cliffs of Moher (one hour 20 minutes) are just two of the spectacular landmarks along the route. Closer to the campsite, historians should seek out Lough Gur (15 minutes) for its neolithic stone circle, enclosed by 113 standing stones.
