  • Scenic Dingle peninsula site within 200 metres of Inch Beach
  • A 30-minute drive from Dingle and 45 minutes from Killarney
  • Famed Ring of Kerry and Slea Head routes within 30 minutes’ drive
Sand, sea and… Slea Head? If seaside stays in one of Ireland’s most stunningly scenic spots appeal, hurry along to Inch Beach Camping, a family-friendly site in the tiny village of Inch on Kerry’s famed Dingle peninsula. The site’s biggest draw is proximity to the five-kilometre-long stretch of golden sand that makes up the eponymous Inch Beach. It’s less than 200 metres from site to sand-between-toes (guests will be able to see the seaside from several parts of the pitching area) and a handful of watersports. The beach is well-known as a surfing hotspot, but windsurfing, kitesurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding are doable here too, as is casting a line for a few diverting hours of fishing. When it's time for a break from beach days, there’s lots more to do hereabouts, starting with a trip into Dingle, 25 minutes’ drive away. The town is a top-notch jumping-off point for dolphin-watching trips (especially to see the town’s most famous denizen, Fungie) and scenic drives, but sticking around comes highly recommended too, for visits to the aquarium, Dingle Distillery, local craft shops and the more than 50 pubs. Lazier days back at base can be spent unwinding, eating meals made in the site’s shared kitchen, or simply soaking up the views. The family cook can have a break too, as there’s a well-placed restaurant overlooking the beach, less than two minutes’ easy stroll away.

Local attractions

This site is about 35 minutes’ drive from the start of the famed Slea Head, a spectacularly scenic 47-kilometre route that traces the very edge of the Dingle Peninsula. As well as stunning views over the sea towards the Blasket Islands and the Iveragh Peninsula, there are lots of spots worth stopping at along the way, including ancient beehive huts, Famine-era cottages, pretty beaches and the famed Louis Mulcahy pottery studio. A pitstop at Brandon’s Creek (40 minutes' drive) is worthwhile too, to see the spot from where St Brendan supposedly set sail for America in his currach, though anyone tiring of the sea view should opt instead (or as well) for a jaunt up the steeply winding Conor’s Pass, just outside Dingle. When Dingle Peninsula explores are exhausted, head instead towards Killarney (45 minutes). The town is home to the stately Muckross House and to plenty of shops and restaurants, and is also the gateway to Killarney National Park, Ladies' View, Moll’s Gap and the 179-kilometre-long Ring of Kerry drive around the Iveragh Peninsula. Don’t make the mistake of sticking to the Iveragh coast, though – explore the interior of the peninsula too with trips to the absolute-must-see Gap of Dunloe (40 minutes) and Ballaghbeama Gap (one hour).

Electric optional grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: Really loved the closeness to the beach. Owner really helpful and friendly, came to check we were ok after storm Eunice arrived! The facilities were homely and sufficient. We were able to dry some clothes through in the tumble dryer and have a hot shower before we moved on. Just make sure you have some euro coins for washing/dryer and showers

Disliked: Nothing

Electric optional grass tent pitch (large)

Liked: Very private, spacious and clean facilities, the stars-oh wow the stars! We stayed here at the end of November so it was cold and it was wet. But the cold and the wet we were prepared for. The sites we saw from our tent were spectacular and there was no one around to tell us to be quiet as we’re both morning people and enjoy cooking early. The bathroom facilities were very spacious and clean but not well stock with toilet paper so had to buy some of our own. The value of the site we felt was a little steep for what was there for this time of year, and we would like to return early in the next camping season when it is warmer to take advantage of the closeness to the beach. We lived just how close these grounds were to the Dingle Aquarium!

Disliked: No reception, could only pitch where RV’s set up so lots of rocks, and no hot water. Setting up, as there was no one there to greet us, we were forced to call and get the key code for the gate, and were asked to set up our tent on a tier where the camper vans and motor homes stay during the peek times so when we were trying to pound in the tent pegs, they got all bent out of shape. I was also not impressed there was no hot water from the taps and there was no where we could get coins for the showers or the drier. We had to drive over half an hour to get to a place to ask for change. There was also no food truck as advertised.

From the manager: Sorry about your dislikes but off season i can sometimes be away for a few days. Hot water should have worked no complaints since thankfully. But there is always some one around if i am away. Hope fully we will see you again.
