Kinlochewe Club Site is fantastic views of the mountains from the site are unbelievable lots to see and do we arrived for a Easter break and was welcomed by very friendly wardens, We are regular visitors to this site and it is so good to go back and get such a friendly welcome.
The scenery is the best in the world. Plenty of paces to visit. Gairloch is well worth the drive past the loch there is a fantastic fish and chip shop highly recommended.
Next to the site is a garage with a café very nice food and nice coffees.
All in all would highly recommend a stay at this site.10 out of 10.
Met the midges
We visited the site as part of our n c 500 trip. We did east to west so it was the later part of five weeks, the site is maintained to the highest standards by the very cheerful wardens. We had not come across the dreaded midges until now (we had done well) however for three nights and mornings we encountered the little beggars. How anyone can live alongside them I take my hat and net off to you.
Peaceful and Beautiful
Site is small, friendly and very peaceful though on a crossroads to some of the most wonderful scenery and eateries. We had a truly relaxed stay and felt very honoured to be in such beautiful countryside with mountains, lochs and trees surrounding us.
Facilities on site are excellent, clean and handy for all site users. We didn't find the locked toilet block a problem and would prefer this situation especially when having a shower. Have locking doors at home so don't see this as a problem.
Excellent little dog walk attached to the site for early morning/late evening wee stops and fabulous walks nearby.
Lots of information of the area within the site and great facilities in Kinlochewe itself - petrol station, post office, cafes and hotel with pub that accepts dogs.
Staff were very welcoming and friendly and couldn't have been more helpful during our stay.
We did take midgie repellent with us and they were out in force morning and evening but after the first night we got used to them??
Lovely site - all hard standing - be prepared for
We used this site as part of our Scotland road trip. Easy to access, beautifully laid out, clean and tidy, all hard standing. Helpful wardens, well maintained site. Beautiful location.The only downside for us (early august visit) was the number of midges, we weren't well enough prepared for them! It muted our stay a little - ensure you take some Smidge! The locks on the toilet doors weren't an issue for us, but I can't see the need for them on a site in a quiet village.
Lovely quiet site
We are not really the type of people who use the Club sites as we like 5 van sites, However, this site is lovely. It is quiet and not too busy with large spacious pitches. It is spotlessly clean and the wardens are extremely helpful. Lovely hot showers. We understand they will also have Wi-Fi by the end of the month. A little hut with information leaflets in it, a petrol station next door with a little café and a hotel in the village also serving meals. Compared to the price of some pitches in Scotland it is reasonably priced. We would have no hesitation in using the site again.
A quiet piece of Heaven
If it is peace and quiet you want then this is the place. All you hear is birdsong. the midges are a problem first thing in the mornings but by 9.30 they had gone. It is a walkers paradise. You can walk for miles from the site. the views are spectacular. The scenery is the best in the world. Plenty of paces to visit. Gareloch is well worth the drive past the loch.
Wedding route
We stopped here, on our Gretna Green wedding route.
Lovely place, clean, friendly and scenic.
4 days here, great access to all the Highlands have to offer.
We done a 300 mile tour from here to Durness and back, lovely days out.
Great site spoiled by obsessive security
We arrived on site after a long journey around 3.30pm to find the office shut and wished to use the toilets which were locked (both yale outer and keypad inner door) and had to go behind bushes - both embarrassing and unecessary. We were not the only guests arrving who had to do this!
When we got checked in the warden said that the key system does cause problems.
Kinlochleven is hardly a high crime area and we discovered later that there are public toilets in the village so why is this site different from all the others we have used in Scotland.

Good site just a couple of shortcomings.
Stayed here for 6 nights early in May. We've stayed here on three earlier occasions and there are general improvements, particularly to the groundworks which are now more level and seemingly well-bedded down. However a couple of niggles - hardly any HOTwater in the sinks in the ashrooms, although showers OK. Although clearly advertised in the site leaflet and the club directory/handbook, there was no information room on site. It appears that the last one was blown down in earlier storms and the wardens are frustratingly still awaiting a replacement even though we're into May/June. Why, again, was there no Visitor Comments book available - have the Club withdrawn the facility at all sites? Comments on local attractions, praise, shortcomings and suggestions are usually appreciated and not everyone carries a laptop on holiday to see reviews.

Hillwalkers' paradise
All CMC wardens are good, but these could be the best - totally welcoming, friendly and helpful, not to mention the smart appearance of the site. The site is beutifully laid out in multi van bays with large hardstandings. Terrific views to Ben Eighe and surrounding hills. Being next door to the Ben Eighe nature reserve ( a vast area) walkers of all abilities are spoiled for choice. Two nice eateries nearby and a super garage/shop/cafe. Our next visit will be a little longer.
