A VERY quiet place

We have been doing the NC500 and decided to stop off here. We stayed for 2 nights to have a break from driving. The site was nice and tidy and the wardens friendly and helpful. The shower facilities whilst perfectly functional, the could do with an update. The following comments may not be helpful to some members. Communications on site were VERY poor! My phone had no signal whatsoever (Three) similarly my MiFi had no signal, my wife’s phone (Virgin) only had GPRS which meant no texts or internet, but a call could be made. I tried to book another site, for our next stop, I was asked to email, I had to explain I was unable to do so, nor was I able to look for sites on the web. The TV booster could have been better and given more channels. Normally if I am on site with poor TV signal, I will use my Amazon Firestick, but without the internet, this was not available. I was told the site WiFi was not the best. A local cafe/restaurant was closed for the duration of the stay. These issues are not the fault of the site, but had I known of these, I would have only stayed the one night. Whilst I am aware some folks would be happy for no internet etc, this was not for me.

Excellent site, great location, very clean

We stopped off in Kinlochewe as part of our NC500 trip and stayed for 1 night. Very helpful wardens, huge level hardstanding pitches and beautiful location. My only recommendation for improvement would be the showers. They’re small cubicles with no storage or shelving areas to put things off the floor, the showers trays are set quite high so if you’re tall (I’m 6ft1) you will hit your head on the shower curtain bar and need to duck under the shower. General maintenance was needed as rips in the vinyl floor have been taped over. We would be back!

Sharon and Simon were exceptional staff. They made the stay perfect. Stunning location, great for exploring the Torridon area. Site beautifully kept and maintained. Toilet and dishwashing facilities very well maintained and very clean. Beautiful views around the site. Lovely wee dog walk in the site which the dogs loved. Great walks from the site. Will definitely come back. Loved it.

Nice peaceful site

We stayed at Kinlochewe for a couple of nights whilst we were touring Scotland and absolutely loved it. The walks from site are fantastic and there are print outs of the different walks in the information hut which you can take away with you, which is really useful. Very friendly and helpful wardens and facilities up to the normal high standards. The site is next door to a petrol station which sells a few essentials, and has a nice little cafe. We booked a table at the hotel in the village (just a few minutes walk away) and had an absolutely amazing meal there, would definitely recommend. I really hope we get chance to go back to this site as I would like more time to do some of the walks from site and explore the area more.

Great central location to explore

Warden on site from 5 pm for new arrivals. It was easy to find a pitch as instructions were posted at reception and pitches were clearly marked and comparable. The warden was really friendly and helpful on this camc site, got a real sense of them enjoying their job and wanting to make your stay equally enjoyable, which can make a big difference to the overall experience. Great food and service at The Stag at the Kinlochewe Hotel, which is a short walk from the site and very popular. It is dog friendly and we were told to book ahead due to their licencing. There's a bus that stops outside the hotel twice a week! There is also a lovely little cafe next to the fuel station which is left out of the campsite. The pitches near the road can be noisey as it is a popular stop on the NC500 Stunning scenery at Loch Maree and lovely picnic grounds to spend the day and kayak. The road to Torridon was awesome to cycle and take in the changing scenery (lookout for deer at the car park). The toilet block was small, bit dated but functional and clean. I would definitely recommend this campsite.

Lovely site in the wilds

A great site in the wilds. Lots of walks in the hills, direct from the site. Very good information available in the "garden shed" on walks and local attractions. Easy access to Torridon and Loch Ewe by car, but lots of single track roads if you go that way! Not for Winnebago drivers. The staff were wonderful. They were even looking after the dog of an elderly gentleman who fell ill. The recovery firm will take the motorhome but not the dog! Downsides of the site were the wifi only being "hot spot", but it was pretty fast, and the lack of shower curtains which made keeping one's clothes dry in the cubicle an interesting challenge, shall we say. And, yes, it did rain quite a lot, and, yes, there were some midges but it is Wester Ross. We hope to return there before too long (as does the dog).

Memorable journeys

5 night stay in September and found the site to be a fantastic base for exploring, stunning scenery and wild road trips due to many single track roads, journey to Applecross a must if for nothing else but the thrill of the road trip, awesome and memorable. Gairloch, Torridon and Loch Maree all worth a visit Everything you need is within easy reach of the site lovely dog walks through the nature reserve fair choice of places to eat whether you want a snack or a full meal. Peaceful and tranquil site wardens welcoming but unobtrusive liked the checking in system only downside was the midges in the evening and poor TV reception but the whole experience far outweighed the negatives definitely recommend a visit.

Excellent location, great walking

We enjoyed this site, well located on the NC500 trail, the Torridon hills and Applecross. Clean with excellent facilities and the first time we have seen a drying room! Great idea, particularly for those that are camping in tents. The reception was shut between 1-5pm but was not an issue at all, as there are clear instructions on the door e.g. drop in your membership card and please come back after 5pm - easy peasy! We didn't get to the Beinn Eighe visitor centre as we only had one night, but had heard it was good. The cafe in the petrol station next door did an excellent breakfast and the fuel prices were reasonable. Around the corner was the Gorse Bush Cafe where we had a great beef Sunday dinner, but all the food looked fantastic. We ventured to the Bistro Bo & Muc at The Torridon and had an amazing meal there and a lovely walk around their kitchen garden. All in all, if you are in this neck of the woods, then this site is a really good option. Next time I would not choose a pitch the hugged the tree line, as this is the only place that there were midges. Pitches more central, away from the trees were totally fine.

great site

The site itself is lovely with typically clean facilities. Some reviewers commented on the office being closed between 1-5 but to be fair I think the arrival system worked really well - they let you choose your pitch and pop back later to tell them where you are and pay. I can’t see that being a problem and saves queues The location is great for walking cycling and loch swimming The local cafes are really nice and worth a visit the midges did force us to stay in the van in the evening but that’s what you expect in Scotland at this time of year Nice site and very pleasant staff

A lucky space found

Turned up on Saturday the 11th Sep to find out I had booked the following week when I clicked the calendar. The lovely couple running the site managed to find me one last space that had become available due to someone leaving early. Yes, I should of checked my booking. A busy weekend in Western Ross with no other sites near by. I nearly became one of those lay by campers that I'm so critical of. My lessons are check your bookings and bring the midge face covering with you. Lovely well kept site. Thanks for taking the time to fit me in. Look forward to the Rovers beating the Clarets next time they play......
