Spectacular site right on the edge of a cliff with super sandy beach below. Good walking in the area straight from the site. Pub/restaurant adjacent to site. Lots of hook ups but still plenty space for those not wanting such things. The facilities have been upgraded over winter. Owner friendly and helpful.
Nice area for tents and close to facilities. This really is a nice site with lots of things to do in the area. Swimming and walking and further along the coast there is surfing.

A great cliff top site with wonderful views over Sango Sands where you can select your own pitch.
Payment was made at 6pm in the evening when the office opened, credit / debit card payments have to be made in the adjacent pub.
It was very windy during our stay (gusting up to 70mph) and our van rocked about quite a bit - I likened it to 'aeroplane turbulence at sea level'. A couple of tents pitched on cliff edge were blown down - local advice is for tents to pitch on far left of camping field where there's a bit of shelter.
Toilet blocks, wash up, laundry etc. Very basic but very clean with plenty of hot water. There's a cooking / eating area for tent campers and pitches come with / without electric hookup.
There is a pub on-site though we didn't use it as it was not dog friendly; a short walk takes you to the village centre with a small supermarket and petrol station. A mile further down the road is the craft village of Balnakeil, lots of craft and art studios plus chocolate / coffee shop. Well worth a visit.
There's some lovely coast walking to be had from the site, especially out through magnificent dunes towards Fairad Headland and return via the wonderful sandy beach at Balnakeil.

Stayed here last september and couldn't wait to get back here again. The most beautiful scenery looking straight out over the ocean. Campsite had everything you could need, including a kitchen with burners and about 4 washing machines.
Showers are free and there are 8 in one block and 2 in another- just time it right when its busy or you will be queueing forever! pub on site that's cheap and pleasant.
A visit to smoo cave is a must and if you get chance, do the Cape Wrath trip. Would recommend this site for friends or families

Stayed for 5 nights over the Jubilee weekend - great site! Pitched overlooking the smaller beach virtually on the cliff edge - fantastic. The facilities were more than adequate & the kitchen area with a couple of gas rings & free gas are a very nice touch if you run out of fuel.
Visited the on site pub once & was pleasantly surprised with the beer prices considering the area - served very good food too. Handy Spar in the village too that had fresh bread & croissants most mornings - closed on Sundays though.
The walking in the surrounding area was brilliant, we kept low level. The beaches are stunning especially Balnachiel (sic). One of the best places we've stayed at so far - even better than Applecross & Camusdarach IMO. We'll definitely be back.
I think it cost us £65 for 5 nights including dog

As always, my review will be based on the fact that I am a full-time carer for my husband who is totally wheelchair dependent. This was our second visit to Sango Sands, having first stayed there in 1996. Not a lot had changed but it doesn't appear to be a site that is in a hurry to become 'super-slick' It would lose a lot of it's charm if it did as it wouldn't fit in the dramatic scenery in which it sits. The views are spectacular and the site is on different levels so most pitches do not lose out on the dramatic scenery.
There's a choice of hook-up or non-hook up pitches. Facilities are basic but spotlessly clean and hot water seemed never ending. The disabled cubicle is accessed by a key, provided by the site staff but there is a hefty £20 deposit for the use. This is because keys have not been returned and, because of the remoteness of the area, fuel costs are high for the owner to travel to have new keys cut.
The disabled cubicle is quite small but the two of us still managed to work around each other and certainly, everything required to assist the disabled guest, ie grab handles, are fitted. The cubicle has been recently refurbished and I was reliably informed that the main facilities would be subjected to updating, in the near future. For the keen walker, there are plenty paths to explore in the area although non are wheelchair friendly.
The Spar store, only 5 minutes walk from the site gate, is one of the best stocked village shops I have been in and easily accessible for a wheelchair along a decent footpath. We also visited the Balnakeil Craft Village, approx 1 mile from Durness. Provides lovely refreshments and all buildings appeared to be wheelchair accessible. A third visit to this lovely location would not be out of the question!

Incredible location, and perhaps the finest motorhome pitch in Britain.
Overlooking Sango sands- a golden beach strewn with huge black rocks, a fabulous spot.
Nearby is smoo cave- do visit, and do take the boat trip. Best of all is nearby Balnakeil- do the walk up to Faraid head. There isn't a finer coastal walk in Britain.
Finally warm yourself up with some hot chocolate at cocoa mountain.
Found the site very relaxed, office was open at 6pm so that you could pay for your pitch. But otherwise there didn't appear to be a warden on site.
Facilities were basic, but clean. Showers were free, as was gas for campers.
Only grumble was that the fee charged was more than the price stated on website- and it still hasn't been updated.
I would certainly visit again.
