Bell tents at Mountain View, Kilkenny
Camping in Ireland is fraught with risk — rain, wind, inclement temperatures.
Maybe that’s why I’ve been a long-time camping denier. I just don’t do it.
But I’ve felt a bit mean-spirited about it since having children and so, when the opportunity arose for a family night in the luxurious Mountain View glamping village in Ballyhale, Kilkenny, I jumped at the chance.
