Loved it - will be back - but plan ahead
First of all this site is going back to nature - its in the middle of a Highland park and the surroundings and edging reflects that - this is not a manicured site, another mile and it would be half way up a mountain. Having said that thats why you go there. So its all hard standing, great and spotless facilities and the warm welcome that you always get from the majority of wardens. - Very helpful with what on etc. Point 1 fill up in Inverness and you'll have no worries with fuel, having said that theres a petrol station thats next door and despite the stations website its open Sat afternoon and Sunday. Point 2 Food - theres a small store and the petrol station sell the basics but expect to pay for them - so plan ahead Point 3 - a grocery van visits Tuesday and Friday - its a tardis and has virtually everything butcher meat, veg, eggs, bread and loads more!! Must dos Applecross and the road to it but make sure you come from the Toridon end and out view Sheildaig. Beinn Eighe visitor centre(despite a total lack of welcome from the staff). Nature and the scenery - its everywhere starting on your pitch just look out. The road in - as you drive the last three miles into Kinlochewe be prepared to gasp at the view - superlatives just run out when you are here. The Whistl Stop Cafe in Kinlochewe - not the cheapest but fab home made food, scones, orange and raspberrry jam - oh yes that hits the spot. Coast coffee in Gairloch againgreat homemade soup and bread. Unless your kids are outdoor types theres nothing to do for them well not for 60 miles. was there late september/October and the midges where not a great problem. So plan ahead and enjoy the view
