  • Horse and pony trekking available from the site
  • Dog-friendly setting a 45-minute drive from ferries at Rosslare
Apart from winning the lottery, there probably aren't many things more blissful than a horsey canter along an Irish beach. If this too is your idea of what you'd do on any holiday, you're well placed to sort it at Wexford's Roches Campervan and Campsite: it's right on the Bannow estuary and the site owners run a horse and pony trekking centre alongside their working dairy farm. You might not be able to imagine many views more blissful than over the sea from Roches either – perhaps a view of a winning lottery ticket...? And the site also has direct access to the bay: it's in the sunny south east of Ireland with loads of beaches and historical sites nearby, and kayak hire is available on site. Base yourself here for fab flat and bass fishing in the estuary too, and walks alongside it, and splendid Wexford beaches, and old old sites like Tintern Abbey and the Clonmines castles. Pubs, a chemist, two supermarkets, a tyre centre and hair salons are at the local village of Wellingtonbridge a short drive away. Roches has a shower and toilet block, internet access, charging facilities and chemical disposal. Barbecues and campfires are allowed, but if you're too blissed out/knackered after your horse ride to sort supper, trot along to one of the several nearby pubs serving tasty feed – trad Irish music sessions are often on the menu too. Music is also available on site at weekends in June, July and August, with midweek karaoke for the kids. The site is 45 minutes from Rosslare if you're heading to/from Europe and want an overnight stay.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: I recently stayed at this campsite and had a fantastic experience! The location was beautiful. The owners and the staff were friendly and accommodating, and the live music events added an extra layer of entertainment to the camping experience. However, I would recommend that campers refrain from bringing air fryers to the site, as it caused problems and shortages of electricity. Despite this issue, the staff worked quickly to resolve it. Overall, I highly recommend this campsite for a peaceful and enjoyable camping experience, but please leave the air fryers at home to avoid any further complications.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Good music and a nice social area. Great views.

Disliked: Electrical issues for the whole weekend. Power kept tripping. Due to the nature of the site there is no flat ground to pitch. No playground for the kids.

From the manager: Thank you Dinesh Vather for reviewing our site over the very busy May bank holiday weekend when the after dodgy weather start then the 🌤came out saved the day. We are glad you enjoyed the great views & entertainment 🎶. We have pleny of electric for tents ⛺️ but not for airfryers double ones 🙈 house hold kettles🙈 heaters 🙈 we can supply for camping kettles and camping heaters different voltage. We had other guests in electric tent ⛺️ pitches who were annoyed to see their neighbours using double airfryer pulling from their supply of electric they were using to blow up a bed & charge a phone. You did say to me that you stayed on sites where you could use airfryer & heater with no issue of power cutting out. I recommend you go on to the camping sites and list them as we had at least up to 7 airfryers in tents over the busy weekend that we knew of so it will help people to book these sites that allows airfryers ect as we can not on our site. Lastly we do have plenty of flat pitches with the hill where children love rolling down playing football meeting new friends singing dancing eating ice cream crab fishing happy smiling no devices in their hands old school happy days making your own fun.

Local attractions

The ruin of 13th-century Tintern Abbey (not the Wordsworth one) is one of many old sites to see in Co Wexford and its surrounds. See also Hook Lighthouse at nearby Hook Head, the oldest working lighthouse in the world, and 16th-century Duncannon Fort with its maritime museum. Several towns and villages are around Bannow Bay (although do go fishing first): pedal or potter around the likes of Saltmills, Newtown, Ballygow, Ballyowen and the splendidly named Haggard Bridge to carefully compare the Guinness in each. If you're lucky enough to be on an extended trip (perhaps with the aid of that winning lottery ticket), make your way from Roches to the ferry port at Rosslare, from where you can sail serenely on to Fishguard and Pembroke in Wales, or to Cherbourg or Roscoff in la belle France.
