The Wild Atlantic Way
by Classic Campervan
Ireland's west coast is one of the great classic-campervan routes. These guides are written specifically for vintage VW and classic-camper owners — including the roads that a T2 can and can't handle, the overnight spots that work for high-profile vehicles, and the ferry routes for island detours.
The Wild Atlantic Way Discovery Points include roads that are narrow, hilly, and high-gradient — all of which present specific challenges for a 50-year-old T2. Our route guides flag the sections where a classic camper needs careful pacing and where alternatives exist.
Donegal Loop
The Donegal coast from Dungloe to Malin Head is among the most dramatic scenery in Ireland. Detailed classic-camper notes coming soon — subscribe to the newsletter for publication notice.
Connemara & Mayo
Sky Road, the Killary Fjord, Achill Island. The heartland of the Wild Atlantic Way — and the most-travelled stretch for Irish classic-camper owners.
Kerry & The Ring
The Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula. Popular but beautiful — notes on where the single-track roads catch out taller classic campervans.
