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 travelers.
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.
We had an absolutely fabulous stay in this van, Bruno met us at the ferry port and the process was very easy and smooth! The van was perfect and had everything we needed, Bruno went above and beyond and provided bedding towels etc it was fab!
We had the best time driving Trina around the south-west of Mallorca! Jandro was great at communicating with us and we enjoyed every second!
An excellent experience with the hire of this campervan. Very comfortable bed and great shower too. Roke is extremely kind and helpful and a pleasure to deal with
We thought our holiday was over before it had even started when our own motorhome broke down… then we found Yescapa. The booking process was easy to follow, and we were so grateful that the owners of the motorhome we hired were incredibly lovely and understanding of our situation. The hired motorhome was ideal for us, and we were able to finish our holiday and had an amazing time. Special thanks to the owners ❤️ Nous pensions que nos vacances étaient terminées avant même d’avoir commencé lorsque notre propre camping‑car est tombé en panne… puis nous avons découvert Yescapa. Le processus de réservation était simple à suivre, et nous sommes très reconnaissants que les propriétaires du camping‑car que nous avons loué aient été si adorables et compréhensifs face à notre situation. Le camping‑car loué était parfait pour nous, et nous avons pu poursuivre nos vacances et passer un séjour magnifique. Un grand merci aux propriétaires ❤️
Excellent trip with spacious car and all equipment needed plus more! Romero was extremely friendly and helpful and provided us with lots of tips and recommendations for our trip. Would recommend to anyone looking to road trip Madeira.
Allesandro and his family of 4 grown ups used Dolly around the Algarve and Alentejo for one week. They treated the car very nice and brought her back in good condtion. We can recommend them as renters for your car.
