Inch Hideaway Eco Camping
County Cork, Munster
Five hand-built yurts and a wagon, off-grid, a walk from Inch beach in east Cork.
Why we love it
Five hand-built yurts and a converted wagon, run off-grid, a walk from the beach at Inch — the east Cork one, on the harbour side rather than the Atlantic one in Kerry. Each yurt sits on a raised platform with a wood-burning stove; the shared kitchen has a wood-fired pizza oven and a fire pit, and the whole site sleeps around thirty-two if you take it all.
Open all year, which is rarer than it sounds for canvas.
Best for: canvas, but with a floor and a stove
Worth knowing
- Bring your own towels — bedding is provided but towels are not, though you can rent them on arrival.
- Bring a torch, warm clothing and waterproof shoes; the site asks for all three.
- Check-in is a narrow 3pm–5pm window, check-out is 10am, and the noise curfew is 11pm sharp.
