Cobh to provide state-of-the-art camper van site

A harbourside town in Co Cork is to become the first place in Ireland to create a state-of-the-art site for camper vans which will be governed by bylaws.

Council officials are preparing to create up to 30 bays at the special camper van location at the Five Foot Way near Whitepoint in Cobh, which has magnificent views of Cork harbour.

It’s the culmination of nearly two years work and the brainchild of a local councillor who founded the highly successful Cobh Animation Team, who dress up in period costume as part of tourist-attracting activities.
