Easy arrival, lovely hard working wardens, great location and good views of surrounding mountains. Usual very clean facilities block, rubbish, water and chemical disposal points. I didn't use the club wifi but tethered via my phone so EE signal good. Couldn't get radio reception and can't comment on TV as we never bother. Nice to see vans and motor-homes from all over Europe. Haven't rated 'good for families' as we travelled as a family.
2nd visit to this peaceful site
we returned here in July ( our second visit to this site ) and it was everything we expected. Far enough off the main road that you can experience the peace and tranquillity of scotland. pitches are well spaced out and we had choice of quite a few. service points always clean and wardens constantly doing a great job. shower and toilets always available and clean but probably ready for an upgrade but this definitely won't stop us from returning here in the future. all in all a lovely site and not far to get to the isle of Skye too.

OK for us - frustrating for some others
Stayed at Morvich for 6 nights in mid-May. Been here many times and hope to come again.
Like an earlier reviewer, our stay was spoiled by selfish and lazy dog owners who let their dogs out to foul the area around the caravans (usually not on their own pitch) and also give abuse when confronted. Only after being spoken to by the warden did they respond by taking the dogs off-site. If dog owners have to be deterred by incurring charges, so be it.
Unfortunately, two additional complaints this year. (i) When we arrived, we were told that 8 pitches had no electricity so couldn't be used. It didn't affect us but I'm complaining on behalf of those members who were unable to stay. (ii) One of the ladies' shower cubicles was locked with a notice "In need of plumber" Both these shortcomings persisted for the length of our stay and no sign of any workmern or anything being done to remedy the problems. Do maintenance men not work in the Highlands? As I've mentioned in other reviews - where have the Visitor Comments books gone?
Central location for hillwakers
Situated close to Glen Shiel and Glen Affric this site is another hillwalking paradise. There are some long hikes available direct from the site. However, for the Munro-bagger a car or small motorhome is ideal to get to the start of your walk. Very pleasant site alongside a beautiful river which is not directly accessible. It would be nice to have a pedestrian gate for direct access to the road. Really nice wardens doing a great job maintaining the slightly dated facilities. We paid a lot more at this site than at other northern Scotland sites the same week - not sure why this is.

Does What it Says On The Tin
Visited here in late April, never disappoints it is by far the best site in Scotland if you like the out doors. A must visit is the village of Glenelg and a drive round to the hamlets of Arnisdale and Corran, a route that has the best scenery in Scotland. For a day out on the way back take the Ferry to Skye and explore the southern reaches of Skye and return via the Skye bridge and Kyle. The walks off site are some of the best in the UK. The only minus was with some of the dog owning campers, they never pick up the mess behind them but the club does not seem to tackle this problem of vans with multiple dogs in vans and owners who have no respect for other users. The wardens are on a hiding to nothing as it all happens at night as these owners are too lazy to keep their animals on a lead or use the off site walks. Dogs should be charged for the same as children, Rant over!!
Stop off for tour of The Highlands
Gorgeous views. Walks. Places to eat and drink. Site could do with a makeover. Two showers were closed in the Ladies. Noise levels at night were bad due to inconsiderate members up until 1am! Reported to Warden with a suggestion of speaking to them ourselves! Wouldn't do that in the night as weather was bad, culprits were in bed in the morning!
Stop over at Morvich
This was our third stay in 5 years at this beautifully set site, as we love the area and the site has everything we could wish for. However, this year we were disappointed to find that 50% of the female showers were out of commission. Had this been on our previous stop overs this would not have been a problem as we have been almost the only people on site. This year was different with the site seeming to be about 2/3's full mainly with caravans and motorhomes.
Due to the time of our arrival this was not too much of an inconvenience, but could so easily have been.
Signs had been placed apologising for the inconvenience, but every effort should have been made to ensure that at times of potential major use such as Easter holidays that these works are completed as soon as possible even if paying a premium for the work to be completed out of hours.

Lovely location. Easy touring area. Try the Gleneg ferry crossing to or from Skye.
Ideal location for walking, touring or just chilling out.
Good, quiet location for visiting area
We had two nights here in April 2017. The wardens were really friendly and welcoming, and the facilities were up to usual club standard.. The site is a on a 'loop' of narrow road off the A87. Don't use sat nav, follow the instructions. We visited Kyle of Lochalsh from the site - we had hoped to use the bus service but there are only two per day max, so we took the motorhome off-site to visit. The rain had really set in, so we continued onwards to Skye - Bradford and eventually Portree. Further afield would have been quite doable. The site is also handy for Eilean Donan Castle but it was a bit overrun with tourists when we called, even in early season. Good location, and very quiet.
