Can we camp in Coillte forests?

Can we camp in Coillte forests?

Yes in selected limited locations only. We have two caravan and camping parks (Lough Key and Curragh Chase Forest Parks).

There are 5 designated ‘wild camping’ spots. Note that ‘wild camping’ areas are identified to facilitate long-distance hikers and can be used for an overnight stops part of a multi-day trek. There are guidance notes for their use listed here:  Website – Wild Camping Notice

For camping with scouts, guides or youth groups you should apply for a permit through our permit & licences section of our website.
