We stayed two nights at this lovely site. The lay out is great - set out in small areas, all with easy access to facilities and all stone hardstandings. This we found really useful since there had been so much rain and a number of places we stayed tended towards the "soggy". With two border collies dog walking areas are important, and on the advice of the wardens we took a left out of the campsite to the SNH Beinn Eighe Nature Reserve walk (about 50 yards along the road) which has a hard surface walk. Perfect!
The Whistle Stop Cafe is just along the road and as well as fabulous evening meals has a great selection of the most delicious home baked scones and cakes.
We will happily return to this site.
mountain gem
have just enjoyed the hospitality of this little gem that we stayed an extra night, friendly staff, spotlessly clean and midges didn`t seem to mind us either. Well done Kinlochewe
Fabulous site
Amazing site surrounded by mountains. Very friendly and helpful,wardens. Rocks edging the driveways a bit risky! And midges a pain, literally.
Avon spray didn't work. Plug in mosquito catcher produced many bodies each morning despite being vigilant with mosquito nets. My partner was bitten badly and antihistamine cream etc no help. Best remedy for itching was 1 percent hydrocortisone cream bought over the counter.
On the positive and it was a very positive stay early July, lovely walks and a very quiet site.
Local butcher van comes twice a week. Not cheap but the best lamb steaks ever. Butcher also supplies Wild Cat Cafe turn right out of site. Wonderful steaks. Need to book at weekends though.
Friendliest wardens from the 8 sites we visited during a month in Scotland.
And they posted detailed weather forecasts up each day.

5 Nights in June
This site is approx 500yds further along the road than the sat nav says! If you follow sat nav you end up in cul-de-sac! Not sign posted well for the site. The staff are very friendly and the facilities as you would expect from a Caravan Club Site. Scenery is impressive from the site and the surrounding areas. Be aware of the large white painted rocks along the roads on the site I don't think they will be very forgiving if you hit them! Also ensure you have your midge sprays with you! you will need them. My wife had over 50 bites and took a long time to eventually clear them out of the caravan. Also no internet and minimal TV signals via lead connection.
Stunning!
A brief two night stop at the end of May, still snow on the beautiful mountains and the site has lovely views! Usual excellent standards at site with very helpful wardens. Lovely area and excellent centre for touting, we'll be back for a longer stay to explore some more. Site easy to locate and a really good hotel in the village. Excellent food - so do book in advance if you can as it does get booked up! Rowena
Lovely site! May 2015
Site is easy to find and the wardens friendly and helpful and it does make such a difference. Small village with a hotel which serves good food and is... DOG FRIENDLY!! YEY! You do have to book when site is busy though. Plenty of walks from the site and further afield. A couple of small shops and a petrol station selling basic provisions. Good location for exploring and would visit again.
Great site set in amazing scenery
Can't fault the welcome or the facilities. Pitched back on to the little stream where the dog walk was (paws up from the dog). Good walks from the site or a short drive away. Good for stop over or stay. My only criticism is I disliked the black gravel finish to the site - it did feel a little like being parked in a school playground!

Excellent location for touring around
Well run site with excellent facilities. From here you can visit lots of Wester Ross - pass of the cattle, Inverewe Gardens, Gairloch, etc. Good food at nearby pub and the Whistle Stop Cafe but you may need to book for both. Basic provisions nearby and Butcher and Fishmonger visit once a week.
Short Break
Just spent 4 nights at Kinlochewe. Very nice wardens, toilet blocks immaculate, Kelly loves the dog walk, the view from the windows of Ben Eighe with more snow every morning except our last, priceless. Visited Skye and Inverewe Gardens in pouring rain but the best bit was our trip to Alligan and Diabaig on our last day in glorious sunshine . Spectacular !
P.S there is a lovely restaurant in Diabaig where we enjoyed lunch but people of a nervous disposition might like to pack spare underwear as the last section of the road is a bit scary !
