Roscommon is home to Rathcroghan, one of Europe's largest unexcavated royal complexes, spanning over 240 hectares with more than 240 recorded archaeological monuments dating back 5,500 years. This inland county in Ireland's west sits at the heart of the Shannon river system, with Lough Ree stretching along its eastern border and Lough Key Forest Park offering 350 hectares of woodland, bog gardens, and a treetop walkway near Boyle. From Roscommon town to Strokestown is just 25 km, where Strokestown Park House and the Irish National Famine Museum tell a powerful story of Ireland's past. Travel 40 km north from Roscommon town to Boyle and you reach the ruins of Boyle Abbey, a remarkably preserved 12th-century Cistercian monastery. The county's flat to gently rolling terrain, with quiet roads winding through pastoral farmland and lakeshores, makes it wonderfully suited to campervan and motorhome travel — no tight mountain passes to navigate, just open countryside and welcoming small towns. Castlerea, Ballaghaderreen, and Elphin each offer their own character and convenient stopping points along the way. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan or motorhome directly from local owners across the region, giving you the flexibility to explore Roscommon at your own pace while supporting the community you are travelling through.
May to September is the ideal window for a campervan trip through Roscommon, when long daylight hours and mild temperatures make lakeside stops and outdoor exploring a pleasure. The Boyle Arts Festival in late July brings music, theatre, and visual arts to the town for over a week. Autumn has its own appeal, with golden colours around Lough Key and quieter roads throughout the county. Hiring through Yescapa during shoulder months like May or September often means better availability and more competitive pricing from local owners, so you can enjoy Roscommon without the peak-season rush.
To help you plan your trip, we have selected six unmissable road trips, suitable for all travellers.
Start in Boyle and circle Lough Key Forest Park, taking in the treetop canopy walk and Moylurg Tower. Head south through Cootehall and along the Shannon to Carrick-on-Shannon before returning. Around 85 km of easy driving, ideal for a campervan with plenty of lakeside parking spots.
Explore Roscommon's ancient heritage from Tulsk to Rathcroghan Visitor Centre, then on to Castlerea and Ballaghaderreen. This 70 km route passes through the legendary landscape of Connacht's kings, with gentle roads perfect for a motorhome and wild, open countryside throughout.
Follow the Shannon from Lanesborough on Lough Ree northward through Roscommon town, Strokestown, and up to Boyle. At 180 km, this route links waterside villages, angling spots, and heritage sites like Strokestown Park House. Campervan-friendly roads and regular service stops along the way.
A 300 km loop from Roscommon town west to Castlebar, south to Tuam, and back via Ballinasloe. Cross into neighbouring counties for contrast — from Roscommon's lakelands to Mayo's rugged west. Motorhome-suitable national roads connect each town, with campsites spaced conveniently along the route.
Begin in Athlone and weave 520 km through Roscommon, Longford, Leitrim, and Sligo before looping back. Visit Lough Key, Parke's Castle on Lough Gill, and Carrowmore megalithic cemetery. A grand tour suited to both campervans and motorhomes, with diverse landscapes at every turn.
This 600 km journey traces Ireland's western waterways from Lough Derg north through Roscommon's Lough Ree, up to Lough Allen in Leitrim, and across to Lough Arrow in Sligo. Stop at Clonmacnoise, Boyle Abbey, and Drumshanbo. A rewarding long-distance campervan adventure with ample facilities en route.

Roscommon and its surrounding lakelands offer a good selection of campsites suited to both campervans and motorhomes. You will find pitches with electric hook-ups, waste disposal points, and shower blocks at sites spread from the Shannon shore to the county's quieter northern reaches. Many sites sit close to water, giving you easy access to fishing, kayaking, and lakeside walks right from your pitch.
Roscommon is well connected by the N5 running east–west and the N61 linking north–south, both suitable for motorhomes and campervans. Ireland has no toll roads within Roscommon itself, though the M6 motorway passes nearby to the south and carries a toll at the M6 Galway–Ballinasloe section. Speed limits for vehicles over 3,500 kg are 80 km/h on national roads and 100 km/h on motorways. Local roads in Roscommon are generally quiet and well-maintained, though some narrower routes around lakeshores may require careful driving in larger vehicles.
The vehicle was excellent in every way. Roomy, efficient, drove well, everything worked. We had a great trip. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
First time hiring through Yescampa and Victor made it super easy. We navigated the language barrier with Google translate and he was very helpful explaining how to use all features of the vehicle. For a family of four exploring andulicua this was ideal.
The trip was amazing. Francesca, the owner, helped us a lot and was always available. The van was really good, with big space inside. Highly recommended.
Dominique is a wonderful, kind and attentive host. The van was perfect, clean and cosy. We loved the trip even though the high altitude passes were very scary especially as we are driving on the wrong side of the road!
Andre couldn’t have been more helpful, plus he is a positive, warm individual. The camper was superb in every way, hygienic, beautiful handling and equipped with everything needed, no silly extras for bedding. Brand new mattresses that were so comfortable and all the windows had bug netting so nothing could get in or bite us. Will definitely do this again, PLUS great value. Very very happy with service and equipment
Very nice owners, kind and flexible! The camper van was easy to understand, and comfortable to use - above expectation. Thank you!!
