This site is in a great location for catching the ferry as previously noted. Local area has lots to do, great choice of eateries and facilities.
The views are superb, however due to being exposed can be a bit breezy! Pitches not very level but we managed. Staff friendly.
We would not return due to dated, cold and dirty toilet block. You also have to pay for showers which are a dribble. Shame as site was busy so would expect better.
We stayed here just one night with an early morning ferry to catch to Stornoway. The Site is ideally located close to the terminal, making it an ideal stopover. It is a very open site with good views of the loch and open sea from almost every pitch. It can also be, though, from watching a French couple erect some kind of trailer tent, quite exposed.
The town with its eating places, bars and multiple branches of Edinburgh Woollen Mill is a very short stroll away. There are also some good climbs ( Munros included) in Wester Ross just off the Dingwall Road.
Site facilities were high quality with plenty of showers and toilets. We'd have no hesitation staying here again if we were catching a ferry.
We stayed two nights here, and were lucky enough to get a lochside pitch, just a few steps from the water. Only disadvantage - the cable for the hookup has to run across a small road. We borrowed a rubber cable cover from the campsite manager (for a £30 deposit) which protects the cable and also lessens the risk of anyone tripping over it, but many people didn't bother.
Pitches further from the water are slightly elevated, so everyone gets a good view - spectacular when the Stornoway ferry goes past. All the pitches were on grass, most with a slight slope. There was plenty of space for tents, and lots of bikers - it's a well-known bike-friendly destination.
The toilet block was good, although there seemed to be an extra charge for using the showers. There was a motorhome disposal point, but it was awkwardly sited and the morning we left it was very busy, so we didn't wait.
Biggest attraction of the site is that all the eating and drinking establishments of Ullapool are just a short walk away. We were there on a busy bank holiday weekend, so we ended up trailing round town looking for somewhere to eat without a long wait, but everywhere was full to capacity. We ate late that night, and cooked in the van the second night. Moral - always book ahead!
We visit this campsite for several weekends every year as we love Ullapool. The campsite itself is very clean and tidy, facilities are clean, tidy and plentiful (haven't checked out the laundry and dish washing facilities). I will say that the shower/toilet block was very cold as it has no heating so with the British weather being what it is, April was a wee bit cold.
A very peaceful location and with it being right on the loch you get to see the ferries coming and going, as well as the occasional fishing boat.
Very accessible and well signed and only minutes walk from the lovely village of Ullapool, with plenty of eateries, chemist, supermarket and a little village hardware store, that stocks anything from fishing gear to spanners, games to crocks and a range of camping gear.
Check out the Seaforth Seafood Bar and Bistro - beautiful food.
I arrived late at night, 11pm, with the rest of the bike club already fast asleep. So here I am pitching a tent in the pitch black night with a bit of light (there was a streetlamp inside the camp which helped a bit) XD Fast forward to the morning and we paid the woman who came round for the money.
The price was £10 (down from £12 since we were a large party) for me and my bike (right next to the tent!) for 2 nights. The warden was a very nice lady and even showed an interest in the bikes (which is always good :) ) Didn't speak the the guy much (he drove the tractor that picked up the bins) but he seemed nice too.
This park is huge, loads of space. The site was quite busy when we got there, even for such a big site, mostly filled with big touring caravans. The surroundings were beautiful. The loch was right by the park and you were only a 5 minute walk from the main street! Even though that is the case, the park was still quiet.
There wasn't much kid wise to do in the park itself but I seem to remember a climbing frame in the park. Roundabout the park, you were within easy access to about 5 different pubs. There was one with a wall right into the park which served particularly good coffee (if a bit overpriced).
There is a coffee shop not far away called 'The Tea Room'. If you get a chance, stop in there, they serve great breakfasts (fry up and the like) and bottomless cups of coffee/tea. The meals were top notch!
There were numerous take outs (2 Indians, a Chinese and a 2 chip shops) within easy walking distance and a general store which did your milk, bread all that stuff.
There was a market that seemed to run every Sunday in the centre of town. Just a small one with maybe 6 to 8 stalls. Not my cup of tea but maybe you would like it?
Anyway, back to the site, the facilities on site were top notch, there were drinking water taps all around the site and a large toilet block in the centre with maybe 10 stalls, 3 of which were showers with hot water. A few urinals and about 5 sinks with shaver outlets. Well equipped!
The one thing about the toilet was that there was a set of stairs you had to go down to get to them. The stairs were just wooden with no robber coating on so were quite slippery when wet. It would be better if these had some kind of non-slip coating on to stop any accidents or even if the stairs were made of concrete instead. I didn't mind though, was ok if you took your time and didn't try to run down them.
If you were into fishing, you could go to the loch where you could catch fish. I'm not into fishing though, so I didn't.
The ground was soft but I picked a bad place to pitch the tent as it was quite close to the road into the park which had quite a lot of rocks. Jagged into my back as I didn't have a mattress at the time (inexperienced XD). That was my fault though.
Didn't really spend much time there as went up to Durness after the first night (the main destination of my trip) but I enjoyed my stay.
So all in all, a good site but not much for the kids to do. If you are going as adults, it is a great site and I would totally recommend it! Just remember your mattress if you pitch near the road (ooyah!).
Ullapool stunning, site great with stunning views. We liked it so much stayed an extra night. As already stated on arrival you pick your pitch and the wardens collect payment in the morning. Site busy but we had plenty of room.
Toilets etc were fine, require 20p for showers.
Ullapool is a fantastic place, walked some of the Ullapool hill walks, the views are stunning. Also walked the river walks too, which the dog enjoyed.
Ate at the Seaforth both nights, warm crab salad very very nice.
Great site with fantastic views over loch Broom. Ideally situated within walking distance of the town of Ullapool.
Only downside is the toilet/shower block which is very dated and the showers were quite poor. Electric hook-ups are quite a distance away so best to take a long extension when pitching on loch side.
Local shopping nearby is good with Tesco within waking distance. Lovely sitting watching ferries going back and forward to Isle of Lewis.
This is a great site, we came here for a couple of days and stayed for four. We weren't lucky enough to get a loch side pitch as it was busy, but we were three rows back on the hill and still got a great pitch with a great view over the loch and of the sunset as well.
You just find a pitch for yourself on arrival and you pay the fees on a morning at 9. 00 or between 3-5pm which was no hardship.
The couple came round in the morning in a van and collected the fees which were reasonable for the site and view.
The toilets were well cleaned and looked after with no issues at all.
Only one thing I would say was a downside was that the pitches were not marked out which is not a problem, but you always find people trying to squeeze in!
When we pitched the camper and the drive away awning we made sure we were the right distance from the next camper, but after a couple of days that camper left and we got a caravan next to us less than a meter from the side corner of my Bongo. The plus side was that we got a reduced rate due to the these people pitching so close, the lady apologised as she gave us money off though.
As previously mentioned by someone, that's not the sites fault its the ignorance of other campers really.
Ullapool itself was just a few mins walk from the site and loads of shops and with the Indian takeaway at the entrance to the site which was very handy and good.
There was not much in the play park but the beach and local amenities made up for that.
Stayed here for one night, having arrived off the Stornoway ferry. About half the site was roped off - presumably as it's still low season.
Reception was closed and no one appeared until about 9. 30am the next day - so we were unable to borrow/use a cable cover to protect our electric cable as it crossed the road - same applied to several others.
We were lucky enough to have a pitch on the loch side - it was beautiful, and the sunset to die for. Facilities at the site were good, although as mentioned before, reception was closed most of the time.
Ullapool is delightful and a short walk. Plenty of pubs / restaurants and interesting shops, but not 'touristy'.
Whichever way you drive/sail away from this site, the scenery is stunning!
This site is on the edge of Ullapool, overlooking Loch Broom and surrounded by beautiful scenery. The lovely little town is easily accessed within a few minutes on foot which is the great advantage of this location. There are a number of eating/carry out places nearby.
The site was quiet when I visited, with lots of space. The pitches at the front of the site, overlooking the water, are for EHU users. There is a large, open, level grassy area further back if no electric is required.
There had been recent rain and the ground had been churned up in places by vehicles. A car in front of me drove onto the grass and immediately got bogged down in mud and had to be pulled out by tractor. This must be a regular problem as the number to call for the tractor is displayed at reception. I left my car in a small parking area at the entrance to the site. However, by the next day cars were driving onto the grass without problems.
As other reviews have mentioned, the ground is very hard under the surface, although I managed to drive in ordinary pegs and Deltas, and didn't need to use my rock pegs.
Toilet facilities were very clean. 6 showers, 8 basins, 10 toilets (but only one hand dryer) in the Ladies. There is a power socket beside one of the mirrors - handy for a hairdryer. Showers take 20p coins and I found two to be plenty. The water wasn't particularly hot, only just adequate, and the toilet block itself was on the chilly side. The block also houses a laundry and dishwashing area.
The site doesn't take bookings, so you can just turn up and pitch. Fees are collected in the morning.
There is a very small children's play area at one side of the site. A stony beach runs between the pitches and the loch.
This was our first camping trip as a family so we didn't want to travel too far. ( its only 60 mile away ). I've got to say that we loved it. Facilities were very good, Nice level piches, And views to die for.
Ullapool itself was lovely. Really don't know why we haven't visited before. A few nice little tea rooms and chip shops. A very good little tesco hidden away.
The site itself was very good. Only a few niggles.
1, As someone else has said 2 inch under the top soil is solid rock. I had bought decent pegs before because of the reviews. Didn'rt make a bit of difference. You really need 6 inch nails.
2, The playground ( I use the word loosely ) was terrible. A slide, couple of old tractor tyres, A fence and see saws. Thats all. Not what I would call an adventure playground.
The man in his van was very polite and talkative. No faults with him at all.
Apart from all the noise from the local pub on Saturday night, We had a lovely weekend. Cant wait to go back next season. Might try a few other places first though.
We stayed over in a tent for one night on a road trip around Scotland. As mentioned in other reviews the site is in a great location with water on both side of the site. The ground is very rocky and we also had problems getting pegs into the grounds (had to leave almost half of the peg showing).
The facilities were very clean and well looked after. The showers were free and the water was very hot and did not run out. Toilets and sinks were also clean and well looked after
The pot washing area was indoors and again there was sufficient hot water to do the job.
Admittedly the site was very very quiet in (only 3 other tents) so we did not experience some of the negative sides mentioned (overcrowding etc)
The only real negative was I found the site a little expensive (for a tiny 2 man tent) as camp sites go but given the ample free hot water and location I would definitely stay again
We spent 2 nights here without a hook up and the sunny weather got the campers out. Despite the amount of campers there the shower block did not get over crowded and 20p gave you long enough for a good shower.
But what spectacular views you get from your tent when you wake up in a morning, Wow!
Some people had mesh mossie hats on but we just sprayed insect repellent and it kept the mossies away.
A short walk to the shops and a bakery van that comes round every morning selling various breads and pies. Absolutely no need to cook at all.
We look forward to our annual trip to Broomfield and have always been very lucky and got a pitch right on the front. Yes, you do need a cable protector (we bring our own) but the site do not charge you for these as another review said, they ask you for a 'cost price' deposit which is returned to you at the end of your stay.
The owners are a lovely couple who are more than helpful. They do collect pitch fees at 9am but this is only if you have not gone to reception between 3 & 5pm to pay, so if you do not want to get up early, pay the afternoon before!
Someone else mentioned there is a 20p charge for the showers but it means that people are quick in the showers and therefore no queues. Hot water is always plentiful.
As other people have said, there is a lack of marked pitches and people do try and squeeze in, something we combat by strategically placed windbreaks! Just remember, it is not the site but your fellow caravanners and campers who are ignorant enough to do this, the site does ask that you leave 3 metres between yourself and your neighbour and we did see them tell someone the had to move as they were too close.
Ullapool has loads to do, from boat trips, drives to beautiful beaches (Achnahaird and Gruinard in particular), hill walks or simply enjoying the world go by, or the ferry come in from a stunningly placed campsite.
Lots of 'touristy' shops on Shore Street and some very nice pubs/restaurants all within walking distance from the site. Personally, I would avoid the Indian at the gate, compared to Glasgow curries this was very poor though the Chinese take away beside Tesco is excellent.
A fantastic spot for a holiday and if you are lucky you will get the chance to enjoy a breathtaking sunset over the Summer Isles.
