"Incredible location, a great place! - Unfortunately, we were only here for a stopover on the way north from Skye. The site is exceptional in every respect. The (very friendly) staff explain where pitches are still available and you can then find your own personal favorite spot. With smaller campers and tents, this is even possible in the middle of the dunes. The site borders directly on the beach and is very spacious. There are gravelled pitches for caravans and motorhomes which allow a good distance from the neighbors. The sanitary facilities are spacious, heated and extremely clean. Please note the closing times for cleaning (clearly signposted on the doors). There is a well-stocked store, a kind of snack bar and a restaurant (note: always book in advance when you arrive!). We had dinner there and were very satisfied. A final tip: the midges are very active here in the evening. So make sure you have adequate protection. We bought a spray in the store that served us well in the weeks that followed. Very last tip: The site was fully booked at the beginning of August. You should therefore consider booking in advance.

"Wonderful location - We chose the site because of its wonderful location on a beautiful sandy bay with a dune. Many pitches have a view of the sea, alternatively there are sheltered hollows, nothing is parceled out and yet there is enough space for everyone. The store is well stocked (even locals shop here), and the very nice restaurant/cafe on the campsite with a great view and delicious cake buffet is brilliant. The well-kept sanitary facilities are great, with plenty of space (unfortunately far too rare!) and large bathrooms with bath or shower!

"Sanitary facilities or dance hall? - So if we have always found simple and clean sanitary facilities so far.....here we had a dance hall!!!! With huge cabins and even a bathtub. Plus a huge anteroom...so you can really dance there. Only the washing up facilities were poor... Outside, covered, but not necessarily prickly in the rain and wind. The site itself is good, well-kept and again close to the beach. An inviting café and restaurant in a farm cottage.

"Dunes in front of a beautiful beach. - Very spacious, largely unparcelled site with pitches mainly on undulating grassland, a few kilometers outside Gairloch. Partial sea view over the dunes. Clean, well-kept sanitary facilities. Good catering facilities in the site's own café and plenty of shopping opportunities in the market next to reception.

" - A really huge, very well-organized site on a long sand and pebble beach. The terrain is hilly, with a few dunes separating the site from the sea. Pitches for camper vans and caravans are strictly separated from the tent area, and there is also an area with static caravans and one with wigwams for hire. A stream runs through the tent area -> midges! There is no feeling of loneliness here, but it is still quiet. The fairly large store also stocks a range of camping equipment, bike and kayak hire. There is a café where you can also have something to eat. There are other restaurants in nearby Gairloch. The sanitary facilities are large, well maintained and clean. Campfires are permitted on the beach.
