Letterkenny's Cathedral Quarter centres on St Eunan's Cathedral, a striking neo-Gothic landmark completed in 1901 with Celtic Revival interiors designed by William Hague. Perched at the head of Lough Swilly in County Donegal, the town serves as the largest in Ireland's most northerly county and a natural base for exploring some of the country's most dramatic coastal scenery. The Donegal County Museum on High Road documents centuries of local heritage through archaeological finds and folk collections, while the Regional Cultural Centre on Port Road hosts rotating art exhibitions and live performances year-round. An Grianán Theatre, one of the busiest in the north-west, draws audiences from across the region. For a breath of fresh air, Ballymacool Town Park offers woodland trails and a sensory garden just a short stroll from the centre. Derry is only 35 km to the east along the N13, and the wild sea cliffs of Malin Head sit roughly 75 km to the north, making day trips easy in a campervan. The roads through Donegal are generally well-maintained, though some coastal routes narrow as they wind along the peninsulas — a motorhome under seven metres handles these comfortably. With Yescapa, you hire directly from local owners across the north-west, which means flexible pick-up points and genuine tips on the best routes. A campervan from a Donegal-based owner puts you within easy reach of beaches, mountains, and Atlantic headlands from the moment you collect the keys.
Letterkenny comes alive in July and August when the Earagail Arts Festival fills the town and wider Donegal with theatre, music, and outdoor events over three weeks. Summer also brings the longest daylight hours, ideal for campervan drives along the Wild Atlantic Way. Spring and autumn are quieter, with campsites easier to book and Yescapa hire rates often lower through peer-to-peer owners. Even winter has its appeal — Letterkenny's Christmas market and cosy pubs make a rewarding short break, and you can often find a well-equipped motorhome at a great price during the off-season.
Letterkenny is the perfect base for exploring the region by motorhome or campervan. Here are our 6 must-see getaways
Head 75 km north through the Inishowen Peninsula to Malin Head, Ireland's most northerly point. Stop at the hilltop fort of Grianán of Aileach near Burt, then continue to Malin village and Banba's Crown. Campervan parking is available at the headland car park, and the coastal views reward the drive.
Drive 55 km north-west into the Derryveagh Mountains to reach Glenveagh National Park. Explore Glenveagh Castle and its Victorian gardens, then walk the lakeside trail along Lough Veagh. A designated car park accommodates larger vehicles, and the visitor centre has full facilities.
Travel 140 km south-west to the towering Slieve League cliffs, among Europe's highest sea cliffs. Break the journey in Donegal Town to visit the 15th-century castle, then continue through Killybegs fishing port. Motorhome parking is available at the lower cliff car park near Teelin.
Cover 170 km south to Westport in County Mayo, passing through Ballybofey and Sligo Town. Climb Croagh Patrick or cycle the Great Western Greenway. Westport has several campervan-friendly sites on the outskirts, and the town centre is compact enough to explore on foot.
Head 250 km east along the north coast to explore the Causeway Coast. Visit the Giant's Causeway, cross the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, and tour the Old Bushmills Distillery. Several well-equipped campsites sit along this stretch, and the A2 coastal road is wide enough for a motorhome.
Journey 300 km south to Galway, weaving through Sligo and Roscommon. Pause at Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery outside Sligo and stroll Galway's Latin Quarter. The route follows well-surfaced national roads, and campervan sites around Salthill offer sea views just minutes from the city centre.

Donegal's campsites range from sheltered woodland pitches to coastal spots with Atlantic views. Most sites around Letterkenny offer hardstanding and grass pitches with electric hook-ups, water points, and modern shower blocks suitable for both campervans and motorhomes. Several are open from March to October, so booking ahead for July and August is a good idea.
Letterkenny offers several parking options for larger vehicles. Overnight parking in a campervan or motorhome on public streets is generally not permitted, so dedicated facilities or campsites are the best choice. Always check height barriers before entering multi-storey car parks, as most are unsuitable for taller vehicles.
