Collins Campers โ€” Kinvara Booking Update

๐Ÿ“… Checked 29 August 2026 โฑ 7 min read ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช West

Collins Campers says it has merged with Wild Atlantic Campers; verify the current Kinvara route and live terms before booking.

The Collins Campers site now says that Collins Campers has merged with Wild Atlantic Campers. This page remains an independent search guide for people looking for the former Collins route, but current availability, vehicle range, pickup details and contract terms must be confirmed on the live booking site.

About Collins Campers

The operator's current website directs visitors to its booking route and says the business has merged with Wild Atlantic Campers. It still describes collection and return in Kinvara, Co. Galway, but treat that as a live booking check rather than a guaranteed pickup promise.

Current operator status

Checked 29 August 2026: Collins Campers' own site says it has merged with Wild Atlantic Campers. Use its current booking route to confirm the operator name on your agreement, vehicle, pickup point, deposit and cancellation terms.

Depot

Kinvara, Co. Galway

Fleet

The site advertises 4- and 6-berth motorhomes; verify the named vehicle for your dates.

Price

The current operator page advertises from-prices, but a live quote is the only reliable price for your journey.

Best for

Travellers who specifically want to compare a Kinvara pickup before building a Galway or Burren route.

Fleet overview

The operator currently advertises a 4-berth and a 6-berth motorhome. Check the floor plan, permitted passengers, sleeping arrangement and equipment list in the live quote; a berth label alone does not establish what will suit your group.

Depot & pickup

Kinvara, on the southern shore of Galway Bay โ€” a 30-minute drive from Galway City, an hour from Shannon Airport, and the perfect launching point for a Wild Atlantic Way trip taking in the Burren, the Cliffs of Moher, and Connemara within the first 48 hours.

Price and contract checks

Get a live quote from the operator's current booking route. Confirm the legal operator, quoted vehicle, pickup/return hours, excess or deposit, mileage allowance, driver rules, included equipment and cancellation terms before paying.

Price note

Do not rely on historic Collins prices after the merger notice. Save the dated quote and terms you used to decide.

Booking & affiliate

For the current operator status and booking route, use Collins Campers' official site. Campers.ie may earn a commission only where a disclosed tracked route is active; the presence of this guide does not imply a commercial relationship or paid placement.

Affiliate disclosure

Checks worth making before you reserve

Confirm the exact collection window in Kinvara, the security deposit or excess, whether bedding and kitchen kit are included, whether mileage is limited, and whether the 4-berth or 6-berth layout actually matches your group. West-coast pickup is the main advantage here, so make sure the practical terms support that route advantage before you pay.

Our verdict

Who Collins Campers is best for

A useful Kinvara search route, subject to live confirmation. The official site still identifies Kinvara as the collection and return location, but the merger notice means you should check who is contracting with you and what vehicle is being supplied. Plan overnight stops through permitted campsites or with landowner permission; a self-contained vehicle does not create a right to camp anywhere.

Downsides to know: The current route advertises motorhomes rather than a compact campervan or VW option. Pickup is in Kinvara rather than Galway City or Shannon, so plan transport. The merger notice makes current availability and contracting terms essential checks before you commit.
