Don't know, but I doubt it.
OPW website doesn't mention anything about it, but it does say: "This is a particularly vulnerable site and visitors are therefore asked to co-operate with our efforts to protect this monument", and states that there are no toilet facilities.

Not a hope in hell. Firstly because its just not allowed and secondly because its just not safe enough.

Where would you like to pitch your tent ?

Took this last week

Camp in Mannix Point, best campsite I know of and only a short drive to Portmagee and gateway to the Skelligs.
