Kilmore Quay is a nice little fishing village about 10miles from Roslare ferry terminal which is popular for wild camping. Nice views and has resturant and shops.
hook light house co/wexford gets a mention as a wild camping spot which is probably a bit closer.

I think we are fixed up now for the fist night off the ferry in both directions. That's the only bit of the holiday that worries me at all - stupid I know, and quite illogical but I can't help it.
Please keep the suggestions coming however, as we know NOTHING, and every hint is welcome new information.
Hi We live just 20km from Rosslare, I work in that area also. You can park overnight at terminal, just look for other campers or truck without trailers. However I would recommend that you head over to Kilmore quay, always vans wild parked looking towards the saltee islands, food/drink: chipper or resuturant/hotel/ Kehoes pub excellent seafood in the village, watch the fishermen/divers plenty of activity. Camp there with family often. In Pembroke we just park just before park for queue for ship, its a dead end road to your left.
Both very safe areas. Why pay for overnight when you don't need to!
P.M. me if you require any further info

That's really helpful advice. Nothing to beat first hand experience and local knowledge.
I think we shall use campsites mostly, but with a bit of wild camping at times. The bashing taken by the Euro recently has done the paltry pension no favours. I don't intend to be paranoid about spending a few quid to the extent of spoiling the holiday, but it will help if we can save a bit here and there.
If we knew which direction you intend to take we might be able to help more.

Not absolutely sure myself Aido.
I expect it will be along the south coast, up the west coast a bit and round the Ring of Kerry, then back to Rosslare - but not sure which route to take for the return.
It was possible to park directly behind the terminal, not sure if this is still the case, you could check on arrival and then decide.This is the nearset one if stuck.-

St. Margarets is closest caravan park to Rosslare Ferry Port (just 15 minutes drive). Located in a rural area of natural beauty, near a safe sandy beach, which forms part of the Wexford Coastal path, perfect for long relaxing walks. St. Margarets is an attractive, quiet family run park, ideal as a base to explore the sunny South East, or as an overnight stop to or from the ferry.
Directions: St. Margarets is located just 15 minutes from Rosslare port. When leaving the ferry continue along the N25 past Kilrane for approx, 4km, when you approach the next village Tagoat turn left, direction Lady's Island/Carne Beach Broadway, continue for 2.5km pass Butlers Bar on the left, take the next turn to the left and continue down that road for 2km. We are signposted from the N25
