best tents for family camping uk image

I really want to travel to Ireland, but am not exactly flush with funds. Any ideas on some cost effective, but safe ways to travel and see Ireland? Thanks so much!
I would like to be there for about a week, and hostel accommodations would be great if they are safe (are they? i have no clue). I would love to see the countryside more than the cities. I like in Rochester NY, USA. Thanks so much!
Answer
Can you give us some more info on this please?
How long are you coming for?
Would you make do with hostel accommodation?
Are you wanting to see the countryside or the cities?
Where are you coming from?
=========================================
edit:
OK, first thing to bear in mind is that Ireland is split in two. In the North (Northern Ireland) they use Sterling (British money), in the south (Republic of Ireland) they use the Euro, so if you are going to visit both, try to make sure you have both currencies.
For Hostels, in Belfast there's Arnies ( http://www.arniesbackpackers.co.uk/ ) and in the south theres An Ãige (The Irish Youth Hostel Assoc) ( http://www.anoige.ie/ - they have hostels all over)
If you can afford a little more and are stopping in Belfast, then the place we use to put up friends/family if there is not enough room in the house is Kate's B&B ( http://www.discovernorthernireland.com/product.aspx?ProductID=4534 )
To make the trip cheaper, there are a number of bus tickets you can get that give you pretty much unlimited travel ( https://www.buseireann.ie/asp/ExplorerList.asp ) and you can view the timetables on line for Northern Ireland ( http://www.translink.co.uk/ ) and for the south by visiting ( https://www.buseireann.ie/site/home/ )
Something else you need to bear in mind is that Ireland is colder than a lot of the US. The reason it is so green is that it never stops raining :-)
There are also quite a few camp sites, but unless you have a very waterproof tent, you are taking a risk.
If you want to look up non-Ãige hostels or Bed & Breakfasts on your own, a good place to start is http://www.goldenpages.ie for the south or http://www.thephonebook.bt.com/publisha.content/en/index.publisha for Northern Ireand.
Now, all you need is to decide where you want to go, find local hostels, and plan the buses.
Need any more help, email me.

places in jersey to go camping and fishing?
jay
so i live in central jersey and i'm thinking about going camping. is there anywhere i can go with a couple of other people that's just away from a lot of other campers and people or if not some kind of campground and how much it would be to stay on the campground? preferably somewhere where we can catch some fish.
Answer
Jersey, as in the Channel Islands of the UK, or New Jersey, in the United States? If the former, I don't know. But as for the latter, camping is available 16 state parks and forests, and over 100 commercial campgrounds throughout the state of NJ.
For a place that's away from other campers and offers good fishing, you might consider the Wilderness Camping at Round Valley Reservoir. Although you might be able to see other campers from your spot, it is a 3+ mile hike from the parking area to the closest campsite, and 6 miles to the furthest. So not a lot of people go here. The reservoir is 2,000 acres and 180 feet deep, hosting lake trout, browns and rainbows, as well as bass, pickerel and other species. I camped here a few times many years ago, and it's a nice campground and the reservoir is amazing. Recommended.
In the NJ Pineleands, Wharton State Forest has several Remote and Primitive Campsites. Remote campsites are available via sand roads only (4WD recommended), and vehicles are prohibited in Primitive Campsites. No facilities are available. There are many streams, rivers and lakes in the area to choose from for fishing. Prices range from $2 per person to $20 per night. I go to the Pinelands frequently, and usually stay at one of the remote sites where I will encounter one or two other campers during most weeks. Also Recommended.
Also, the structures available for rent at many state parks and forests are often isolated from other camping areas. Lean-To's, Yurts and Cabins are available from $35 to over $100 per night, with a 7-day minimum during the summer season. Check the maps on the NJDEP website. I've stayed in cabins at state parks a few times at Stokes and Wharton, and they are a nice family alternative to staying in a tent or RV. Stokes also has a lake and great fishing.
As for commercial campgrounds, many are located on rivers, streams and lakes, where fishing is good. But none that I'm aware of offer sites that are isolated from other campers. Costs at commercial sites range from $25 - $80 per night, depending on amenities and site selection. The principal advantages being you can bring your dog and your beer.
