- IN the current recession, many are looking for less expensive holiday options, one of the reasons why caravanning and camping holidays in Ireland are gaining in popularity.

Some offer a five berth mobile home for as little as €160 per week off season and there is further value to be had in weekend and three day midweek breaks. Check out availability on www.campingireland.ie, who have more than 20 members with rental units.
