  • Family-run site set alongside the Comeragh Mountains
  • A 10-minute drive from Clonmel and surrounded by walking paths
  • Kitchen and a thatched wine bar serving food and homemade soda bread
A little bit of the mountains, a little bit of lakes and a lot of Irish charisma – sounds like something you could dabble in? Then, dabble away at Powers The Pot Caravan and Camping Park, which is set alongside the Comeragh Mountains in Co. Waterford. This dog-friendly, family-run park is a 10-minute drive away from historic Clonmel, where guests can pretty easily find a local bar to listen to traditional music on many nights of the week. Ample opportunities to listen to traditional music – tick. Ample opportunities for hiking? Absolutely, tick. Maps and advice are available at the park for walks in the local mountains and woods. That’s not all in the way of outdoor activities, though. Fishing, horse riding, tennis and golf are well within reach, with a golf course five minutes’ drive away and a sports club providing tennis, pitch and putt and badminton 10 minutes’ drive away. Back to the gorgeous local town of Clonmel, though. Its medieval walls are gathered in the northwest corner of the town, and there’s also a tall gate at the western entrance called West Gate. Ruins of an 18th-century castle, a garden and Old St Mary’s Church should keep you googly-eyed, while the town’s shops and restaurants keep you well-fed. This welcoming site has a very good set of facilities to add to the spectacular views. Free hot showers, laundry and an adjoining campers’ kitchen are very handy, but many guests’ favourite spot is the thatched wine bar, which has a traditional peat fire and sells excellent cuisine and homemade soda bread.

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Liked: This is a rustic remote place that has so much to offer from the scenic walks to the friendly atmosphere and welcome that we met on arrival … if your looking for 5 star then keep on going your not getting that here .. What you are getting is a warm welcome and friendly atmosphere… The parking is spacious and clean tents vans and caravans all share this space and no one is out of place . Facilities are basic but clean with kitchen equipment microwave wash area . Showers and toilets were clean and worked bar one … At night or day you can sit in a gorgeous seating area where the chat was endless cards were played or just sit quietly and listen to the music played on the system .. From Christy Moore to Andre Boccelli .. all catered for .. What makes it special is the walk up the hill on the Comeragh mountains and yes this is a hill but at the top is the stunning views of Clonmel and as far as the eye can see …stunning.. Kevin the dog makes his friendly acquaintance with all ..

Disliked: None for what we were looking for

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Liked: Charming lovely hosts with a warm welcome and always willing to help with tips for exploring the area. Good sized level pitches, wonderful walking and mountain biking accessible from the campsite. We especially loved the little bar/lounge with its friendly atmosphere.

Disliked: Only slight niggle - the washroom block was kept nice and clean and the showers were lovely and warm but the showers could really have done with some hooks on the walls/door to hang clothes as there was nowhere to put your things while showering.

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Liked: We liked the charm and natural feel of the place. The absolute peace and quiet. The sense of being part of nature. We liked the friendly, helpful staff. Bins and water taps nearby each pitch.

Disliked: Part of the charm is the hands-off, haphazard, casual feel of the place. Unfortunately that goes hand in hand with a toilet block that was less than ideal - toilets that need more than ten minutes to refill after a flush, two broken showers, and one of the remaining two that runs out of hot water after several uses, running out of paper in the toilets, etc.
At least one of the hard stands was too muddy to use - and the gravel and wood planks that had been thrown down, were not making any difference.
WiFi could only be picked up on the side of the field nearest the office.

All in all, despite (or maybe even because of) the negatives, we loved the place, and would be happy to go back.

Local attractions

Make sure you have a pen and paper handy to jot down all the lovely walks that you could plan from Powers The Pot Caravan and Camping Park. The Nire Valley (10 minutes’ drive) might wind up at the top of the list, as its lakes are frankly gorgeous. Coumshingaun Lough (15 minutes) is a particularly lush local lake. The five-mile trek there is steep, but the rocky bluff and gorgeous greenery are a worthwhile reward. Perhaps you’re looking to challenge yourself to a longer route than the aforementioned five miles. If so, luckily for you, the East Munster Way is within walking distance of the site, and weaves for 70 kilometres over all sorts of terrains, including woodlands, moors and countryside. Those who are more drawn to a peaceful pedal than a foot-based expedition can put the Sean Kelly Cycling Route first. It starts and ends near Dungarvan (35 minutes), passing by gorgeous villages, the River Blackwater, the heritage town of Lismore and Ardmore’s 12th-century cathedral.
