The site — recognized among the world’s top camping destinations — is compact and intimate, designed for couples, families or small groups seeking both quiet and easy access to coastal walking and waterfront views.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE VIEW

Ocean-facing Perch

Wake to broad ocean views from the yome; the setting frames both sunrise over the bay and long, low light on the rugged shoreline.

THE SLEEP

Cozy, Compact Accommodations

The Outport Yome is arranged for up to four guests with a queen bed and a bunk, offering a snug, rustic sleeping arrangement that complements the remote setting.

THE WILDERNESS

Trails and Starry Nights

Short rugged trails along the coastline invite exploration by day; at night the location’s dark skies make for striking star-filled evenings.

What the day feels like

What the stay feels like

This is low-key glamping: arrive, set down provisions, and step into a compact living space that opens on raw coastline. Days are for shoreline walks and short hikes; evenings settle into quiet—wood-fired warmth, the lapping of the bay, and wide skies overhead. Stays typically run from a couple of days to a week, offering enough time to disconnect without the trappings of a large resort.
