Why stay here ...
OFFERS*: Tour for Less | Kids for £1 (aged 5-17) | Under 5s stay free | £5 refundable deposit
Nestled on the shores of Loch Naver with a direct view of Ben Klibreck, Altnaharra Club Campsite in Lairg is perfect for those wanting to get away from it all - the nearest shops are 20 miles away. Anglers, walkers and birdwatchers will love the unspoilt natural wonders on offer in and around the campsite.
Families will have more than enough outdoor attractions to make their holiday at Altnaharra Club Campsite memorable. Fly fish for free from the shore; attempt to spot over 70 different species of birds and admire the red deer roaming in the wild. Those staying on site now have non-motorised boating rights on Lake Naver (conditions apply), ideal for those with small rowing boats and dinghies. Walks range from leisurely ambles across gentle hills such as nearby Ben Loyal, to areas like Munros, where explorations in places like Ben Klibreck and Ben Hope make for a good challenge. The spectacular NC500 route is just a short drive from the campsite. Also within easy reach, a visit to Cape Wrath by ferry and minibus to see Scotland's most north westerly point, its spectacular lighthouse and the highest sea cliff on the British mainland at Clo Mor (900 feet) will take your breath away.
Please note: This site does not have a toilet block. Altnaharra is served by a private water supply and as such we strongly advise all site guests to boil any water drawn from site before use and to bring an adequate supply of bottled or tanked water.

So peaceful
This was an amazing experience. We had pitch 10, which was relatively secluded and right on the lochside. The views are incredible. Wardens were superb - they were relief wardens during our stay, but really went out of their way to help. Even though there is no toilet block, still... Show more

An excellent site.
We arrived to be greeted by site warden Keith, who was welcoming and efficient. Keith and his wife Sue were excellent throughout our stay and were informative, knowledgable and friendly. The location is stunning, walks and a loch for the dogs to swim. The deer eluded us and not an... Show more

Probably the most remote site in the UK
Altnahhara is one of a kind, probably one of the most remote sites in the UK if not Europe! I've rated it 5/5 except for facilities because basically there aren't any! There are Chemical toilet and rubbish facilities which are all very clean and tidy but no toilet/shower... Show more

Peace and quiet
This is a simple site with stunning views. Whilst it is 20 miles from any shops the isolation adds to the attraction. Driving both East and West gives lovely scenery. I highly recommend going along the minor road to the waterfall at Glen Hope. We had pitch 5 which is... Show more

What more could you ask for?
This location was stunning. The photographs do not lie, in fact, in reality, it's better. The site is situated where sheep and deer roam freely, and therefore, you need to be mindful if you are a dog owner. The site is in the middle of nowhere, so be prepared! The nearest... Show more

Peace.
Visited for one night in July, 22, with a 5.2m camper van, on a non-electric pitch. Only four other units there, in a quiet season, but we had our choice of unserviced pitches, all with that stunning view. We drove down Strath Naver on the B road to get here,... Show more
