Camping in Morriscastle for Mid Term!

We’ve been open since the beginning of March and the camping and caravanning side of Morriscastle has been ticking along nicely. Its the first time we’ve been up and running 100% so early in the season. Friday was the start of mid-term and Easter holidays so it saw a big gathering in the touring fields for the weekend which was very exciting! We’ve just finished our new off-peak office which is based in the wooden house behind the reception building (I put up loads of chalkboard signs giving directions) – so this weekend was our first time to welcome visitors to Morriscastle and book them in there, very exciting! Its the little things I get excited about! I even managed to get the lovely new Ikea cushions on the welcome bench! That’s the office that we’ll be using until the beginning of June and again for September so drop on by to get info or to book in.

So it’s now Sunday evening and we’ve had quite a busy weekend which was great. What was really nice over the weekend was catching up with many of our mobile-home families who I haven’t seen since the end of the summer last year. I remember Dad (Ed) saying years ago how grown up all my friends would seem at the start of each season and I never really paid 100% attention to him, until the time came and now I’m seeing it with all the kids here. Time really does fly!

I spent some time today planning out Morriscastle’s new Herb Garden which will run by the new path heading into the top of the camping field and is going to be fantastic! It will be a nice little extra for anyone who will want to have fresh homegrown herbs on their dinner. I know I’ll be picking away any time I have enough time to cook up throughout the summer.

On Friday I ordered the fridge and freezer for the new kitchen in the main block and we’ll be adding the microwaves and other bits and pieces for any campers who might like to keep their food fresh and their ice blocks frozen. The tables and benches will follow as soon as they’re made and that will be the campers kitchen sorted. Now that we’ve divided the kitchen into a dish washing end and a cooking/eating end, the room will hopefully be more functional for all.

Don’t forget, If you’re thinking of going camping in Morriscastle for the Easter weekend, or anytime over these two weeks, make sure to give me a call on 087 7737637 to make a reservation. Everyone’s coming down to hunt for the Easter Bunny!!
Looking forward to seeing you all soon.
