Ireland
Glencar Waterfall Wild Camping
Dispersed Camping
A handful of rough camping spots sit along the minor road approaching Glencar Waterfall, tucked into the Dartry Mountains landscape. The 50-foot falls provide a dramatic backdrop, with level ground for a few vehicles near the forest edge. No facilities beyond what nature provides, but the location offers solitude and stunning views across Glencar Lough.
Access via a narrow mountain road that gets rough in the final kilometer – high clearance recommended. Popular with weekend campers from Dublin, so arrive early for the best spots. Weather can change quickly in this mountain setting.
