What a fantastic campsite!...although the shower block was being renovated at the time of our visit(installing under floor heating) the huts provided were adequate as it was quiet, 3 toilets each and a male/female shower which had a little heater to keep you warm while you got dressed.The campsite itself was well planned out, we pitched on the dunes with...

Our first time and certainly not our last...we have already reserved a place next year! Great location and a large play area for the kids. The dunnes and beach were jaw dropping and the staff were very helpful in whatever we asked for! The kitchen and shower areas were kept very clean and we had no issue whatsoever. If you... More

We stayed at this campsite for four nights in August in a family tent, great location if you like the beach! The staff are friendly and happy to offer local advice, we hired a sea kayak for a day at the site and the price was very good. They also hire out mountain bikes. The site itself is very open...

We only stayed 1 night as we were travelling around the west coast but really enjoyed the site and Gairloch - this was helped by the amazing weather we were lucky enough to get. There were lots of areas to chose from and electric hook up available. The beach and dunes were lovely. The toilet and shower facilities were clean... More

We spent 4 nights camping within the dunes early July 2012. Although the weather wasn't entirely July-like, we still had a wonderful time. The site is spacious with lots of dunes and streams trickling by. The facilities are good too. There's plenty to do nearby such as fishing, walking, horse treking, etc. Those with a boat or canoe will love... More

Stayed in the small wigwam with my two young boys (aged 4 and 6) and had a fantastic time. Clean, family friendly holiday park. Wonderful beach and great staff. Son wasn't well on the last day of our stay and we decided to leave early - were pleasantly surprised that we got a refund on the day we missed. Totally... More

Spent the week here in one of their static caravans- arrived in the pouring rain but the joy of finding the caravan had central heating was all we needed to help us settle in. The decking on the sunny side of the caravan was brilliant, even enjoyed a bbq on our last night and there is enough space between the... More

We stayed here as a group - 5 tents including 2 familes with small children and a couple in one of the static caravans - for a long bank holiday weekend and had an amazing time. It helped that the weather was fantastic but the site facities and views would make up for any bad weather! We camped right by... More

We were very impressed with the large wigwams. Very clean and well looked after. The site couldn't be better placed on the coast. Spent lots of time on the beach as we were lucky with the weather. The midges got a bit bad on the day we left but that was simply as the weather had turned damp. Toilet and... More

Just came home from a weeks stay here in our big family tent. We were lucky with the weather as it was dry and sunny all week except for one day. Midges were hellish and we tried every repellent going, Smidge seemed to be the best one! Site was lovely and we pitched up near the main road away from... More
