  • 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.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: Hot showers but basic

Disliked: Campsite looking very tired. Nothing like the photos on pitch up pages as these were the ones that persuaded us to book Grass very long , gravel areas covered in grass and moss and unkept. Bar looked brilliant on photo but had large tarpaulin over roof and building covered in mould, it looked like it was going to fall down, didn’t even bother to look inside

Liked: The tranquility, so quiet, very rural. We had a peaceful night. Showers nice and hot. Toilets being painted just now but they were still clean.

Disliked: Rain…. We also took N24, should’ve taken N25 from Waterford then turned off.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: It was nice, quiet, safe. The staff was very very nice and polite. Helped in all the ways

Disliked: Less option for small children as in there could have been more bigger place and play area for children. A couple of bathrooms were not working either.

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.
