Just see what the morning feels like and go from there ☕

Whether you're coming as a family, a couple or a group of friends, there's something here for everyone 🏕️

5 tipis, each uniquely placed around the campsite - some tucked away for privacy, some together on the main green, and the Soaring Eagle up on the hill looking out over the bay.

2 bell tents for something a little different - the cosy Crimson Cloud, great for families on a budget, and the Maasai, our full size bell tent and this year also pet friendly 🐾

All come with proper beds, warm bedding and that feeling of sleeping under canvas without giving up the comforts.

People often ask what there is to do nearby. Honest answer: quite a lot.

Durrus is just down the road, Schull has great food and a Sunday market worth the visit, Ballydehob has its own character that's hard to describe until you've walked through it. Bantry town is a short drive away with a great farmers market and harbour views, and Bantry House and Gardens is worth a visit on its own. Mizen Head and Sheep's Head are both within easy reach for dramatic coastal walks with cliffs, sea views and fresh Atlantic air.

The campsite is a base, not just a destination. This corner of Ireland has a way of keeping you busy without you even planning it.

It was supposed to be a washout but thankfully the rain gods were kept at bay just long enough to make it another cracker of a weekend at Dunbeacon ☀️

📢 Big news for 2026: Our hand-painted Maasai bell tent is officially pet friendly!

So if the reason you haven't booked yet is a four legged one, that excuse is gone. Pack their bed, bring their lead and come enjoy West Cork together 🐾

P.S. If you book your June stay by the end of May you get 10% off and free briquettes for the fire pit!

They're back!

Every spring the same swallows return to the same nest in our shed: same spot, like clockwork. We're not sure how many years they've been doing it but we know one thing, they never miss a season.

Sometimes they find their way into the house and need a hand getting back out, always catch and release

Honestly at this point they might be our most loyal returning guests 😄

Now this is cool.

Meet Stefan and Co.

We don't usually turn people away from our door but on this occasion we had to. Ours is a small campsite and much as we wanted we just couldn't fit this rig in.

Anyway we sent him down to so he should be sorted.

We got you covered in West Cork!
