Camping in Ireland – FAQs
What camping gear do I need for a weekend in Ireland?
For a typical weekend camping trip in Ireland, you will need a waterproof and windproof tent, a reliable 2–3 season sleeping bag, an insulated sleeping mat, and a compact camping stove or cookware set. Warm layers, a waterproof jacket and trousers, a head torch, a reusable water bottle, and a small first aid kit are also essential. Browse our full camping collection to build your complete kit list for Irish conditions.
Which sleeping bag is best for Irish weather?
Most campers in Ireland choose a 2–3 season sleeping bag for comfort across spring, summer, and autumn. If you feel the cold or camp early in the year or late into autumn, a warmer 3-season sleeping bag paired with an insulated sleeping mat will give you extra warmth and protection from cold ground temperatures.
Do you offer camping gear in-store as well as online?
Yes. All of our camping gear is available online and in-store. You can visit Portwest – The Outdoor Shop in Westport, Galway, or Killarney to see tents, sleeping bags, stoves, lights, and accessories in person and get expert advice from our team before you buy.
