Sextons Caravan and Camping Park
About
Sextons Caravan and Camping Park is a beloved family‑run haven perched on the historic R600 near Timoleague, at the very beginning of Ireland’s famed Wild Atlantic Way. With nearly fifty years of welcoming guests, it offers a relaxed, countryside setting that blends rustic charm with modern comforts. Guests enjoy a fully equipped campsite featuring both grass pitches and hard‑standing spots, a dedicated different facilities area with an onsite kitchen, a fresh‑water point and a free‑hot shower, as well as a small shop for essentials. The park prides itself on inclusive hospitality – from a playground and football pitch for children to wheelchair‑accessible washrooms and a 24‑hour disabled access wet room. In the off‑peak months fresh local produce can be found at a small on‑site café, and the surrounding coastline offers easy access to sandy beaches, sailing, fishing and coastal walks. The property’s warm, welcoming spirit is reinforced by its strong local ties – it’s been recommended by travel organisations such as ANWB, ACSO, Alan Rogers and Lonely Planet, and has collected TripAdvisor Award of Excellence recognitions in multiple years. Visitors consistently comment on the friendly staff, well‑maintained facilities and the genuine sense of community felt across the grounds. Whether you're traveling with a caravan, a bicycle, or on foot, the park accommodates a wide range of stays, including tents, trailers and campervans. Sextons also takes care to meet modern expectations for safety and connectivity; guests can tap on free Wi‑Fi as they explore the nearby towns of Kinsale, Courtmacsherry, and the picturesque village of Timoleague, all famous for their historic abbeys, lively pubs, and culinary delights. Accessibility and pet‑friendly policies mean families can bring their furry companions with peace of mind. With sunrise to sunset viewpoints overlooking the Irish Sea, a true South‑West Irish accents, and friendly locals eager to share the hidden gems of West Cork, Sextons Caravan and Camping Park continues to be a favourite for both weekend explorers and long‑term campers alike.
