Came to Morvich in early September to go hillwalking and enjoy beautiful Kintail.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this peaceful location and really appreciated the kindness of Judith & Simon who were very welcoming and happy to answer my questions throughout my 4 night stay.
The site and facilities are clean and well kept: The showers are hot; drain well so you're not paddling; don't spray all over your dry clothing and give sufficient room for you to get dry and dressed. A big plus after a long day on the hills!
Many thanks; I'll be back.
Great Stay
Warmly welcomed despite being much later than indicated. A nice quiet site in a fantastic location for those that love walking. Geat facilities, kept scrupulously clean by the site managers.
I will be back!
Lovely stay in Beautiful surroundings…
We stopped in Morvich in August 2024 and enjoyed our stay very much.
The scenery and surrounding area is beautiful and the site is well maintained, ran by a lovely helpful couple. (Leaving Skye a day early due to severe winds and after making an easy telephone call to the Morvich site thankfully we were able to start our stay sooner than expected and they couldn’t have been more welcoming.)
Peaceful, nicely spaced pitches and very clean facilities.
Definitely recommend.
Best site in the country
I have stayed here many times over the years, even before it was the caravan club.
Nothing gets close to the location, absolutely beautiful scenery, mountains, The Five Sisters of Kintail are a hill walkers dream as are the other mountains in the area. Loch Duich is less than a mile away and there are many different types of wildlife in the area including Golden Eagles, red dear, otters, seals, porpoises all in Loch Duich. Feral mountain goats roam the hills and often can be seen in Shiel Bridge. The Falls of Glomach which one of the highest in Britain are a 7 mile hike away, only for experienced walkers really as it’s steep and boggy in places.
The clan MacRae burial ground is at Clachan Duich just off the road to the site and Eilean Donan Castle which is a MacRae stronghold is 7 miles to the west on the A87 towards Dornie.
Kyle of Lochalsh is another 8 miles past Dornie where there is places to eat etc and the bridge over to the Isle of Skye and all that Skye has to offer.
Plockton is a nice place to visit and Durinish to see the highland cattle farm were you can have photos and feed them.
The site itself is very well kept with excellent wardens who will help anyone. It’s clean and tidy, toilet block is spotless as is the laundry room and dry room. There is a room with a tv and a pool table, ideal for family championships and an info room with details of places to visit, eat etc. also detailed walking routes off the ranger at the NTS.
Disappointed
We enjoyed a few nights here in July. The site is on a great location, very quiet with lovely views. The shower/toilet facilities a little dated in comparison to other sites but are clean. Great drying room available next to the laundry room. We sadly didn't find the staff very friendly, they tended to speak to 'certain individuals' but had no time for others and were rather rude when you did ask for assistance or guidance - something we have never experienced in our time as members.

Lovely scenic site
Lovely quiet site in beautiful area of highland Scotland. Toilet block was always clean and tidy. Grass and surrounds neat and tidy. Wardens all very friendly and helpful. Fish and chips from van on Thursday night highly recommended. Lots of walking available from site and locally. Many places to visit in surrounding area. We had a thoroughly enjoyable week here

Absolutely Fabulous
What can I say, only thank you so much to the wonderful wardens who accommodated us with our tents at the end of the Affric-Kintail Way. Judith went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and get us sorted. THANK YOU. Your kindness was very much appreciated. The site was just that little oasis for 4 very wet campers coming off the trail. The facilities were excellent, drying room, common room and campers cooking shelter saved the day. We loved our short stay with you, will be back again for sure.
Exceeded our expectations
Our first visit to Morvich proved to be beyond our expectations. The location is simply amazing. Surrounded by imposing hills, the flat-bottomed glen provides great level pitches. Well-spaced and reasonably private. We were alongside the river which is on the other side of an embankment. The site is a long way from the A-road, so it is very peaceful. Although it is a little further from Skye (25 minutes), alternative sites nearby are on the main road so the peace and quiet is compromised, but not at Morvich. The facilities (showers, toilets and washbasin cubicles) are spotless and plentiful. There are laundry and drying facilities too, but we didn't need them. The site was full on most nights (mid May), but we never queued for anything. There is so much to see and do close at hand that I don't know where to start. I will say that we stayed for 6 nights and only scratched the surface. We'll definitely be back in the future.
Home away from home
Site staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable. Facilities were spotless, despite the site being full.
Quiet and calm site. A very relaxing stay - feels like a home away from home.
Fantastic location
What a fantastic site . Just spent 7 nights here and it was brilliant. Wardens are really helpful, shower block is dated but clean and warm . Superb location with great walks from the site. So much wildlife to see . Great location for visiting Skye and many highland sights. Beautiful scenery and peace and quiet except for the cuckoo , highly recommended
