What a pretty little site, its almost like camping in a a very neat garden, plenty of trees and colourful flower beds. From our pitch we had glimpses through the pines to the loch. A main road separates the site from the lochshore but this was very quiet.
Staff are very helpful and friendly and they stock the basics in reception, lovely fresh bread rolls, milk and eggs. They also sell local walking guides.
The facilities were very much to camping and caravan club standard. A bit of advice on the showers; the ones in the toilet block are of a decent size but the showers are 'electric dribbles'. There are two additional showers in an additional area that are very small but have lovely lever operated shows straight off the water supply, no pushing of buttons to keep the water running. So take your pick.
For backpackers there is a small cooking and eating area that is covered and sheltered from the elements.
The village of Poolewe is a short walk away with village shop, cafe and hotel (but this looked a bit dire). There is also a museum that explains how the area was used by the military during WW2.
A short walk in the opposite direction takes you to Inverewe gardens and forest walks. Well worth a visit. The cafe here sells lovely cakes and you don't have to visit the gardens to use it.
This has to be the best camping and caravan site that I have used and would definitely recommend it as a place to spend a couple of nights or more.

This is a beautiful site with amazing views of Loch Ewe. We had been there before and had plenty of room on our pitch but now the site has been made over into more pitches with hard standings to the detriment of the size of pitches. We felt squashed. The next pitch to us had a camper van and two tents which didn't help. When I put up a small whirly with washing the wardens kept shifting it, they seemed obsessed with it even mowing the grass when it wasn't needed just to shift it. The wardens were not friendly, the wife came round with a clipboard every morning but never spoke. The assistant wardens were very friendly. The village is nice and the surrounding area is beautiful. We would not go back as we were disappointed after our last stay.

This is a C&C campsite and as we are members we got an incredible price - only £10 for a night. When we arrived we got a guided tour of the site and all facilities were SHOWN to us - unusual and very thoughtful. I explained to the staff that we needed EHU but had forgotten our hookup and they LENT us one (refundable deposit). The site is immaculate, absolutely immaculate. Toilet & shower block did have one problem, the toilets flush was very weak. Gents - go to the last stall, it's the only one that flushes first time. There are no facilities that I could see for children but we don't travel with children so I may be wrong about this. Also the camp site is on the main road. Only a small number of lucky campers are able to get a loch-side view and I suggest booking well in advance to get this.
The Inver-Ewe gardens are within comfortable walking distance of the site.

Lovely site and stunning location, booked direct at lunchtime and arrived teatime, usual arrangement for a weeks Motorbike touring around Scotland.
All CCC sites we used were done this way during the trip and we were made most welcome on all the sites we visited (two bikes, two lightweight tents).
The shop had all we needed for supper and morning breakfast. All the pitches were taken under the trees out of the wind and we were given the central green area to ourselves, which we made muddy (sorry about that !)
Everyone went out of their way to come over and chat to us about where we had been, where we were going and where we should visit, the site wardens couldn't do enough for us. A short walk to the village, and the most amazing sunset to follow.
The weather changed as it does on the West coast that night and the site took a pounding, morning arrived and some tents were damaged from the storm (but not ours on the open green).
Biggest tip for pitching a tent here is look at the angle of the trees on and around the site, then pitch following their lean, endways on for a tunnel tent.
I was more than happy with all the facilities on this site, older yes, but fully functional in every way for a pair of road weary bikers wanting a evening stop off.

This site is worth the drive out and is the C&CC further northerly site. The setting is perfect at the head of the loch and with just a fairly quiet road between the site and loch. Site is kept beautifully with flowers growing around the site and well cut grass.
Toilet / showers were clean but as said before in need of a refit. Water in showers was hot and good pressure.
Shop in reception seems a bit pointless as very little for sale and a really good village shop only a couple of minutes walk away.
We found the wardens helpful - but have to say lady who booked us in was business-like rather than welcoming or friendly. After a long drive a smile and a nice welcome go along way to your impression of a site.
Inverewe Gardens are 10 minutes walk - £9 per adult we thought could value as you can spend all day walking around. There are also a couple of well marked NTS walks from the gardens - stunning and worth the 50 minutes.
This is a great site and would recommend - when facilities are upgraded will be perfect.

Usual Camping and Caravan Club site although perhaps the facilities are getting a little tired and are due a revamp.
Toilets/showers were as usual on club sites immaculate but a little local difficulty with the water supply during our stay meant that water was often unavailable either for domestic use or showers (not a long term issue I'm sure).
Why oh why are the site shops so poorly stocked? this perhaps was a little better than most but still not good there was however a well stocked local shop just a couple of hundred yards away.
Nearby there are forest walks and of course Inverewe gardens (quite expensive) not a great deal for children at this busy site.
