The site was very quite and the scenery lovely. However midges are a problem and they make being outside a little unpleasant. Also the description of TV reception leaves a lot to be desired. Although Tv is not the most important feature, sometimes it is nice to sit inside on a wet evening and watch a programme or two. To say Tv reception is good with the cable is very misleading . Only four working channels BBC1, ITV, channel 4 and Skynews!! Would be best to say, no Tv. Or very poor even with booster.
One of the best
We stayed at this site for one night as we toured the west coast. One of the best sites we have stayed at with large well equipped pitches, all level hardstands.
The shower and toilet blocks were spotless with good modern showers of piping hot water. Wardens were very friendly and didn't mind stopping for a chat and to pass on some local advice. Hotel just a few hundred yards down the road which often has live music in the evenings which is a bit of a bonus. Only bad points were the rain and the midges but then we are on the Scottish west coast. Overall a great place to stop off.

Tranquil
This is a lovely site in the middle of nowhere with nothing but idyllic scenery and the sound of wildlife. We wish we had moved here sooner and stayed longer there are lovely walks from the campsite and it's ideal for exploring the Highlands by car. We will definitely be back the wardens were very friendly and helpful and the whole site is kept beautifully clean and tidy.

First motorhome holiday
We were impressed with the peace and quiet,also the cleanliness of the site. The showers were first class. Our wee dog Alfie enjoyed the dog walk very much.

Great location
I enjoyed my weeks stay where I hoped and did lots of hillwalking. The staff were very helpful. It would be great to get wifi here in order to get the best weather forecasts for hillwalking. Also the home BBC news is for London and not Scotland? I would thought everyone would benefit from the Scottish weather etc from BBC Scotland. I loved my stay none the less.

Mountain views
Stayed here for two nights while covering the NC500. The site has beautiful mountain views both from the site and from the nearby walks. The wardens were helpful and the site is well maintained and clean. It is divided up into smaller areas although some of these had no extra planting between plots and resembled more of a gravel car park. The nearby Whistle Stop cafe is well worth a visit with very good food, the menu being more bistro than cafe. The Angus steak pie and venison burger are well recommended.
Great site
We have just spent 13 nights at this site. What a credit to the hard working wardens. Spotlessly clean facilities and site. We arrived to pouring rain but it soon cleared up to give us a fantastic view of Beinn Eighe. The site is a perfect base for visiting the western highlands. We have been all over the area inc. Sheildaig, Gairloch, Poolewe, Applecross, Ullapool, the Isle of Skye and so on. There are some fantastic beaches around, take a map and seek them out. Somedays the weather can be much drier out at the coast. We used one of the pitch areas close to the toilet block and didn't see many midges at all. The people who pitch closer to the trees seemed to get more of a midge problem. The site shop and the service station shop both sell Smidge and Avon Skin So Soft Oil if you forget to bring your own. The pub just up,the road does great meals and sells a huge selection of whiskies and some gins. Being on EE for our mobiles and wifi provider we found that we had no signal for anything most of the time. We were told that Vodaphone has good coverage for this area.
Our stay at Kinlochewe
This is an excellent site, with splendid facilities and the Wardens are outstanding. It has a wonderful setting and I cannot commend it too highly.
Just one night
Staying on this lovely site for one night did not do it justice, but we were doing the Route500 and had a bit of ground to cover. We would like to return and spend a bit more time exploring this lovely part of the Highlands. The site and facilities are very good. Thank you wardens.
Friendly, convenient site.
Very warm welcome from wardens on arrival. Great views from many pitches over Ben Eighe mountain. Modern showers and toilet block; all very clean. Petrol station with convenience store next-door, Post Office with small supermarket and a hotel with bar & restaurant just a few minutes walk away. Plenty of info on walks and cycling in the area. Good little cafe round the corner with home baking & great meals. Would definitely return.
