You’ve booked your glamping holiday at Aran Camping and Glamping, and can’t wait to go! First, though, you are going to need to pack. The question is, what should you take with you? This quick guide goes over some of the essentials.

  Glamping in Ireland

If you are counting down the days until your glamping holiday in Ireland, you might want to think about some of the things you should take with you. As you will be staying in a fully equipped glamping unit, you don’t need to bring as much as you might on a regular camping holiday, but with that said, there are perhaps one or two items you might not have thought about. Whilst this list isn’t exhaustive, it does give you a good base from where to start on what to bring and not bring with you.

  What To Take With You

  Clothes

You are obviously going to need to pack some clothes, and normally you would pack clothes depending on the season you are visiting. It’s fair to say, that Ireland can be a bit different though! Sure, you might have a nice hot Summer’s day when you arrive, but the next day the temperature could drop, rain could appear, or the wind could pick up. Knowing about this change of weather is particularly important especially if you plan to do any hiking during your holiday.

Plan your clothes around a ‘layering’ system, and this way you have every eventuality covered! A warm fleece or coat for the evenings is advisable, as is a rain jacket if you intend to do any hiking. In the summer you will want a sunhat, and if you are feeling brave, something to swim in. During the other months, a warm hat and maybe even gloves might be good options. Spare footwear is also a smart choice in case you get a pair wet, and spare clothes for the kids in case they get wet and muddy is always advisable. The rule of thumb – Pack for the worst, and hope for the best!

  Shoes

We’ve touched briefly on shoes, but if you plan to do any hiking a comfortable pair of walking shoes is always an advantage. Whilst hiking on the Aran Islands is not technical in nature, a dedicated pair of comfy shoes is always a bonus. In the Summer, you might want to pack a pair of flip-flops or sandals. Having a spare pair of shoes is always a good idea in case one pair gets wet during the holiday.

  Towels and Bedding

All bedding is provided in the glamping units at Aran Camping and Glamping, so there is no need to bring any additional sheets. Comfortable pillows and duvets are provided, and the units are all heated in case you are staying when the nights get a little chillier. You’ll need to bring your toiletries with you, but that’s it!

  Food

Inis Mór has plenty of shops, stores, and places to eat, so you are never going to go hungry! However, if you have any special dietary requirements, you might want to make sure you bring some items with you which you might consider ‘non-standard’. A full range of gluten-free products might not be available, for example. You can also make use of the shared kitchen and BBQ that are on the glamping site if you prefer to make your own meals. Eating alfresco is perfect on a warm Summer’s evening!

    This is one place on earth to bring a pair of binoculars

  Binoculars

This might seem a bit random, but hear us out! If there is one place on earth to bring a pair of binoculars, it’s Inis Mór. They will help you more than ever when looking down expansive stretches of coastline. You’ll be able to pick out nesting birds from a distance and can even see more clearly back to the mainland. At night, why not use them to look up at the stars? You will be amazed at how big our universe feels when you are enjoying time on the deck outside your glamping pod looking up at the sky at night. A glass of wine at the same time is purely optional!

  A Smile

No holiday is complete without a smile, so bring one along with you! We’re sure you are going to love it on Inis Mór and take away many happy memories with you.

    What to leave behind

  Gadgets

We would say that you should leave behind as many gadgets as you can. Who wants to be looking at Netflix when you have an amazing star-filled sky to look at? Who wants to check email, when there are new friends to be made and music to be listened to at a traditional Irish pub? Sure, take your phone and use it for videos and photos to share with your family and friends, but enjoy your time ‘in the moment’ more. The laptop can stay at home!

  The Car

You will need to leave your car behind at the ferry port at either Doolin or Rossaveal outside of Galway before travelling to Inis Mór as the ferries do not carry cars. The great news though, is that Inis Mór is compact enough to get around either by hiking or by hiring a bicycle. This will bring you even closer to feeling at one with nature. An important point to remember is that any items that you want to bring with you, will need to fit in luggage you can carry yourself. Parking is available at both ports for your vehicle.

  Further Information

If you have any further questions as to what you should or shouldn’t bring with you for your glamping holiday at Aran Camping and Glamping, please get in touch with our team.

Ireland Glamping » 

Connemara is Ireland at its most majestic, wild, and beautiful. An essential stop along the Wild Atlantic Way, spend a few days, a week or even a month here. You might never want to leave!

Connemara

  Easy sunday stroll to Diamond Hill with @lolkav87 😜 #connemara #connemaranationalpark #diamondhill #wildatlanticway #sunday #hiking

A post shared by Emma Horan (@050emma050) on May 13, 2018 at 1:28pm PDT

The very name Connemara means” inlets of the sea”. This gives some indication as to just how stunning and rugged the countryside is. The Irish have been coming here for years for “holiday” and it is an outdoor adventurer’s paradise.The famous bogs and fields, gorgeous lakes, and rocky shores make it Ireland at its most quintessential. It is a beautiful place to not only drive through, but also to spend some time. There’s plenty to see and do here, and these are just 10 of the top things to do in Connemara during your next vacation.

1. Visit Connemara National Park

  Aí você entende que Deus não demora, ele Capricha! Entenda que sempre depois da tempestade vem o arco íris e que as coisas que você passa estão te preparando para um futuro INCRÍVEL!!! #connemara #connemaranationalpark #irlanda #ireland #vidadeintercambista #intercambio #intercambionairlanda #galway #galwaygirl

A post shared by Priscila Yumi Fujimoto (@priyumifujimoto) on May 15, 2018 at 12:13am PDT

Connemara National Park has an area of some 2,957 hectares, within which are mountains, bogs, heaths, grasslands and woodlands. Opened to the public as a park in 1980, admission is free, and an interpretive centre explains some of the things to see and do there. Hiking is of course a popular activity in the Park, and there are great views of the ‘Twelve Bens’, a series of peaks over 1500 feet. The park is open daily between 9.00am and 5.30pm all year through.

2. Galway City at the Weekend

  summer daze

A post shared by Galway Street Club (@galwaystreetclubmusic) on Jul 24, 2017 at 4:21am PDT

During the weekends a visit to Galway city is highly recommended. The medieval cobblestone streets seem to fill with life, and there is a mix of entertainers, music and markets. Highlights of a visit to Galway city include visiting the Spanish Arch and of course tasting the local cuisine, especially the traditional Irish cheeses. Don’t forget to have a pint of the local beers either. Galway Hooker is a favourite in the city.

3. Explore Kylemore Abbey

  A magnificent Benedictine monastery founded in 1920 on the grounds of a former castle. The abbey was founded for Benedictine Nuns who fled Belgium in World War I. It is one of Ireland’s best loved tourist attractions @kylemoreabbey #KylemoreAbbey #Connemara #Ireland #castles #castlesworld

A post shared by World of Castles (@castlesworld) on Apr 17, 2018 at 9:00am PDT

The Benedictine Monastery of Kylemore was founded by Nuns fleeing the First World War in 1920, and built on the grounds of Kylemore Castle. The estate has an almost fairytale feel to it, and the castle is iconic. Take a tour here through the grounds and gardens, and learn about the bats in the belfry, as well as the somewhat tragic story of the families involved with the castle leading up to when it became an Abbey.

4. Visit Clifden

  The churches of Clifden. Thank you @galwayviewfinder for this image #clifden #churhes #galway #wildatlanticway #landscape #ireland #clifdenartsfestival

A post shared by Clifden Arts Festival (@clifdenartsfest) on Apr 10, 2018 at 12:34pm PDT

The charming coastal town of Clifton is the largest town in the region, and some people often refer to it as the capital of Connemara. There are plenty of boutique shops as well as authentic pubs for food and live music. Find yourself a cozy pub and listen to some traditional music whilst joining in the craic!

5. Visit the Aran Islands

A post shared by Aran Islands (@aranislands.ie) on Mar 24, 2018 at 1:19am PDT

Many people choose to visit the nearby Aran Islands on a day trip, but we would recommend visiting for a few days or longer. Despite the daytrippers there is a feeling of stepping back in the past when you land. The locals are relaxed yet welcoming, and happy to give you directions if you need some when exploring the island. As no cars can be taken over on the ferries, it is best to get around the island either by hiking or bicycling. The Aran islands are a great destination for anyone that enjoys the outdoors life, and some excellent accommodation can be found at Aran Islands Camping and Glamping. The unique glamping pods based on the old stone hut design, offer comfortable lodging in an outdoor setting all the year around.

6. Ride a Connemara Pony

  Chillin’ with Sparkle 🍀🐎🌊☀️💚

A post shared by Kristen Murray🎙🎶 (@treblemaker33) on Jul 26, 2017 at 3:06pm PDT

The hardy breed of pony known as the Connemara Pony has really adapted to the tough and varied terrain of the Connemara region. As beautiful to watch in the fields as they are to ride, pony riding sessions are available at a number of equestrian centers in Connemara, offering a unique way to explore the rugged landscape.

7. Enjoy time on the beach in the sun… No promises!

  🌊👌 #whitesandbeach #whitesand #beach #ireland #irishbeach #connemara #connemarabeach #bluesea #cloudysky #clouds #beautifulday #bluelagoonbeach #paradise #perfect

A post shared by Xavier-D (@xav_dlm) on Aug 20, 2014 at 1:53pm PDT

If you are lucky enough to be visiting Connemara on a nice warm sunny day, you should spend some time on one of the beaches! There are some very pretty sand beaches nestled between the rocky coastline if you know where to look. Ballyconneely’s Coral Strand, Dog’s Bay and Gurteen beaches are all great examples. Even if the weather isn’t ideally suited for soaking up the sun, they are still worth visiting, as they are certainly very photogenic.

8. Whilst you are at the seaside…

  No words needed…. #roundstone #odowds #odowdsbar #connemara #wildatlanticway #galway #galwayfood #locationlocationlocation #ireland

A post shared by O’Dowds of Roundstone (@odowdsseafood) on Mar 25, 2018 at 8:34am PDT

Ireland has some pretty seaside villages and Roundstone is amongst the prettiest. It has been the location of many different films due to its brightly painted pubs and incredible coastal views. There’s no better place in Ireland to enjoy a pint and some seafood such as mussels or seafood chowder, and you can also visit some craft shops, particularly inside the Franciscan Monastery.

9. High tea in a castle

  Thank you to Maria McCormick for sending in this wonderful photograph taken during her stay last week #Connemara #scenery #Ballynahinch #countygalway #ireland #ballynahinchcastle

A post shared by Ballynahinch Castle Hotel (@ballynahinchcastle) on Nov 12, 2017 at 7:21am PST

The fairytale Ballnyahinch Castle has been converted into a remarkable four-star hotel. You can either choose to stay the night, or simply pop in for high tea or a drink by the fireplace. Set in grounds of over 450 acres, you can stroll along the paths from the Lake and Owenmore River. The 12 Bens mentioned earlier can be viewed from here, with Ben Lettery being the most prominent.

10. Killary Fjord

  This view rocks. Like Ireland. You’re looking at the Killary Fjord famous for its shellfish and Killary Sheep Farm (somewhere on the left), where we were. . “Perfect Harmony” . “All things exist here In perfect harmony. People, things, elements — You don’t see this normally. You just stare at it, Your heart slowly skips a beat. Your mind has no other choice, But to admit defeat. There is such a beauty That one cannot comprehend, Not every day you find it Just around the bend.” (own) . “Tökéletes egység” . “Itt mindennek rendje van: Egy tökéletes egys��g. Ember, dolog s az elemek — Ilyet soha nem látsz, tessék! Ámulsz csak mélán, S a szíved is kihagy. Elmédnek nincs esélye, Azt sem tudod, ki vagy. Van ám olyan szépség, melyet meg nem érthetünk. De mindig ott, ahol az életterünk.” (saját) . . . . . . . #travelinspiration #inspiringplaces #instapoem #igpoets #perfectharmony #thisviewtho #natureart #panoramic #killaryfjord #countygalway #connemara #bestdestinations #loveireland #visitireland #irelandroadtrip #alwaysonthego #ontheroadagain #roadtrippers #travelholic #travelphotographer #landscape_lover #landscapephotography #cloudysky #topirelandphoto #ireland_gram #mountainsarecalling #sonyalpha6000

At 16 kilometers in length, and a depth of 45 metres in places, Killary fjord is in fact Ireland’s only fjord. It is best seen on a Fjord boat tour which reveals the dramatic landscape at its finest. The boat tour takes about 90 minutes, and is an enjoyable way to soak up the beauty of the surrounding Connemara countryside. Another option is to follow it via road, stopping off in the small towns and villages along the way.

We will be happy to share our knowledge of the local area, and of course encourage you to visit Inis Mor, the largest and most beautiful of the magnificent Aran Islands!
