What is North Beach?
North Beach is a family-run touring caravan and motor home park on the coast at Rush, Co. Dublin, with direct access to a sandy beach. It presents itself as a scenic, peaceful base for touring vehicles rather than a general campsite: the emphasis is on coastal views, a secure setting and modern facilities.
Who it suits
- Caravan and motor home owners who want a beachfront pitch and a quiet, family-oriented atmosphere.
- Travellers arriving via Dublin Airport or Dublin Port, since the park describes itself as positioned just off the N1 and M1.
- Couples or small families: rates are framed around a single unit with up to 2 adults, or 1 adult and up to 2 children, with extra adults and children charged separately.
What is available
- Pitches with panoramic views over the Irish Sea from most locations.
- Showers, electricity points, a kitchen for dish washing, and dogs admitted on lead only.
- Direct beach access with a 200-metre frontage, in a cove with cliffs, a Martello tower and a small fishing harbour nearby.
- On-site extras: a traditional Thai massage service and a wood-fired Finnish sauna.
Key restrictions to check before booking
- Tents, awnings, twin-axle touring caravans and commercial vehicles are not accepted.
- Reception runs 12 PM to 9:00 PM daily, and check-in is not possible outside those hours. Checkout is 11:00 AM.
Pricing note The site lists 2026 pitch rates: €34 per adult per night for a single unit (up to 2 adults, or 1 adult and up to 2 children), €17 per extra adult and €10 per extra child per night. Confirm current rates and availability directly, as these are stated for 2026.
Next step: decide based on your vehicle and timing. If you have a tent, awning or twin-axle caravan, this park will not work; if you have a standard caravan or motor home and can arrive before 9:00 PM, it is a strong coastal option near Dublin. Check the official site for current opening status, since the page indicates the park was closed at the time of writing: North Beach.
How do I get to North Beach from Dublin Airport or Dublin Port?
North Beach sits just off the N1/M1 corridor in Rush, Co. Dublin, and the park describes itself as positioned for Dublin Airport arrivals and Dublin Port ferry connections. The site's own directions point to a coastal location with a 200-metre frontage onto a sandy beach, so the last part of any journey is a local road rather than a motorway.
For either starting point, the practical answer is the same: head for the M1 north of Dublin, leave at the signposted exit for Rush, then follow local signs toward the coast and the beach. From Dublin Airport the drive is short — the airport is already beside the M1 — while from Dublin Port you first cross the city or take the tunnel to reach the M1, which makes it the longer of the two runs.
Before you set out
- Reception is open 12 PM to 9:00 PM daily, and check-in is not possible outside those hours. Time your arrival accordingly, especially after a late ferry.
- Checkout is 11:00 AM.
- The park accepts touring caravans and motor homes, but not tents, awnings, twin-axle touring caravans or commercial vehicles. Confirm your unit fits before travelling.
- Dogs are admitted on lead only.
A useful next step: open the park's own Location and Contact pages at North Beach for the exact approach route and to confirm arrival timing, since the site lists Rush, Co. Dublin (K56HN63) as its address but does not spell out turn-by-turn directions. If you are arriving by ferry, treat the port-to-park leg as the variable part of the trip and allow extra time for Dublin traffic rather than the airport leg.
What are the 2026 pitch rates and what is included in the price?
The published 2026 pitch rates are €34 per unit per night for a single unit covering up to 2 adults, or 1 adult and up to 2 children. Extra adults are €17 each per night, and extra children are €10 each per night. The page presents these as transparent rates with no hidden fees.
What's included in the pitch price is the pitch itself plus access to the park's facilities: showers, electricity points, a dish-washing kitchen, and direct beach access. Dogs are allowed on lead, and the park accepts touring caravans and motorhomes. Tents, awnings, twin-axle touring caravans, and commercial vehicles are not accepted.
Two practical points before you book: reception runs 12 PM–9:00 PM daily, check-in is not possible outside those hours, and checkout is 11:00 AM. The site also notes it was "Now Closed" at the time of the listing, so confirm current opening dates directly.
For a family of two adults and two children, the single-unit rate covers the whole group at €34 per night. For three adults, expect €34 plus €17, or €51 per night. If you need to arrive late, plan around the reception window or contact the park in advance via North beach.

Practical details
Reception is open daily from 12 PM to 9:00 PM, and check-in is not possible outside those hours. Checkout is at 11:00 AM. The park is just off the N1 and M1, which suits arrivals via Dublin Airport or Dublin Port.
If you are planning a stay, confirm your unit type and whether you need the sauna or massage in advance, since the park is explicit about what it does not accept and the extras may need booking. For broader context on caravan parks in the area, see Fáilte Ireland.
Can I bring my dog, tent, or commercial vehicle to North Beach?
No to tents and commercial vehicles; dogs are allowed, but only on a lead.
North Beach is a touring caravan and motor home park, so the rules are built around that kind of visitor. According to the park's own listing, the accepted and refused categories are:
| Allowed | Not accepted |
|---|---|
| Dogs, on lead only | Tents |
| Touring caravans | Commercial vehicles |
| Motor homes | Twin axle touring caravans |
| — | Awnings |
If you are travelling with a dog, the lead rule applies across the site rather than in a designated area, so plan for walks on the adjoining beach and around the harbour rather than free running inside the park. The park sits directly beside a sandy beach with cliffs, a Martello tower and a small fishing harbour, so there is plenty of walking nearby, but you will need to keep the dog controlled at all times.
The tent and commercial vehicle exclusions matter most for trip planning. A campervan conversion registered as a commercial vehicle could fall foul of the commercial vehicle rule even though it looks like a leisure vehicle, so if your van is commercially registered or sign-written, confirm before booking. Likewise, if you normally tow with a twin axle caravan or expect to put up an awning, this is not the site for that setup.
Next step: check your unit's registration and axle type against the list above, then contact the park during reception hours (12 PM to 9:00 PM daily) to confirm your specific vehicle before you travel. Check-in is not possible outside those hours, and checkout is 11:00 AM.
What are the reception hours and check-in/check-out times at North Beach?
Reception at North Beach is open daily from 12:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and check-in is not possible outside those hours. Check-out is at 11:00 AM.
For planning purposes, the practical takeaway is that arrivals should be scheduled to land within the midday-to-evening reception window. If you're coming off a ferry at Dublin Port or a flight into Dublin Airport, factor in the drive and traffic so you don't arrive after the desk closes. The page notes the park sits just off the N1 and M1, which makes it a convenient first stop after a crossing or flight — but that convenience only works if your arrival time lines up with reception.
A useful next step: confirm your expected arrival time with the park in advance, especially for late ferry or evening flight arrivals, and ask whether any arrangement is possible if you're delayed. Departure day is straightforward — plan to be off the pitch by 11:00 AM.
