 Large, flat site with lots of room and wonderfully located on the edge of Loch Broom. Facilities were plentiful and reasonably clean but could do with an upgrade and some TLC considering the price of an overnight stay. We paid £15.00 for a medium tent, having paid only £11.00 at the other sites we stayed at.
Our tent blew down one day -as did a few others - but I reckon it was because we had not pegged the front down conscientiously that day, having been in and out a lot,and because of the hard stony ground we paid for it!Be warned. The site is exposed to strong winds at times and yes, this was the only site on this holiday where we needed our midge veils!
Ullapool is certainly a lovely little town and the gateway to many wonderful trips - so we'll be back.

This was the dearest site I have visited in Scotland. Expensive £23 a night. Also groups of teenagers drinking and music till 5am. Lots of motor bikes roaring till late. No warden to complain to after 8 pm. Toilets where a let down. Such a shame as it is in a lovely spot.

Our second visit to Broomfield after our initial visit last year. I actually reviewed it last year and stuck up for the place because I thought some reviews were a little harsh. I have to say that I was relatively new to camping then and how my eyes have been opened!
Broomfield is one of the handiest camp sites you can come across. Right next to the ferry (the reason we go as my kids live on Lewis) and right near the centre of Ullapool. And THAT is why they get away with what they do. This could be a fantastic site BUT relies on the convenience ticket far too much. It gives the bare minimum and is not that cheap compared to other better equipped sites. The toilets really do need an upgrade now and knowing whether you were going to get a hot or cold shower would be nice! Ignore the bug zapper adverts, we've been two years now and they are just not there. Having experienced many more and much better sites now, I have also written to the camp to tell them what I think. With not a lot of TLC this site could be brilliant. Alas at the moment it can only be described as barely adequate. But hey, where else do you go if you visit Ullapool?

Great campsite, reasonably priced,our 1st visit and loved it.
Toilet block good and clean and plenty of hot water. It cost 20p per shower and you got 6 minutes which was plenty of time.
The scenery was breathtaking,good range of shops,friendly pubs and places to eat. Try the local butcher's home made colslaw it's great.
Will certainly come back and stay again.

Stayed here 3 nights. Good location, could be a fantastic site, but alas not.
Trailing hook up leads across service road everywhere, pitch where you like even if it is close to the next unit.
Toilets and showers paid lip service in respect of cleaning and very dated. I can live with dated but I can't live with dirty. No one on site except to take your money at 9 a.M.Each day and to empty the bins. Basically a bit of a free for all, and not for me. With a bit of T.L.C. This place could be transformed into a wonderful site.
Ullapool and its pubs and restaurants are on the doorstep so a cracking location. We had no problems with noise and there was a bikers and a mini rally on site.
Give the Indian restaurant a miss if I were you, was pretty awful.

Well Jolly_camper's review says it all really. There is some noise from outside the camp but you can go furthest from the entrance where I'm sure you'd be undisturbed. Worth booking if you do want to go to a restaurant. Not many tables and they do finish early by London Standards. Not very good value as mentioned.
Don't miss the Tesco's tucked away above the campsite biut away from the Town Centre/Front. Good for stocking up with self catering needs.
The two WPC's in the Police 4x4 looked about 16 and neither over 7 stone when we saw them. Luckily we didn't see any behaviour that required anything else though!
I was last in Ullapool 25 years ago when the Klondykers, East European Factory ships, were in town. (Google Ullapool and Klondykers) It seemed a busier place then and the ferry is now the only large ship you're likely to see. A good stop off/stock up point if you're heading North to more remote sites
Toilets and showers OK and clean and plenty of hook ups but some do require trailing cable across the road.
Pebble beach and decent views.

Visited for one night on way to get ferry to Stornoway. It is situated well for easy walking access to the town. The site was quite busy with plenty of motorbikers camping which I believe it normally is but they were not a problem at all. In fact the site was remarkably quiet after 9 pm. The showers were free and not 20p as indicated in the review below so I am not sure if they have been changed. The toilets and showers were clean enough but I didn't use the basin so can't comment on that. The money was collected in the morning, I don't think the small reception office opens very often. We didn't have a problem with midges as it was windy enough to keep them away.
There was no problems with anti social behaviour apart from at the fish and chip restaurant by the harbour where a couple of locals were being irritating rather than troublesome. The fish and chips were good though. We have had a take away from the Indian restaurant by the site before which I can recommend.
I would stay here again but would prefer Ardmair Point campsite although it does require a drive to town.

Tried this site for an overnight on the way home from being up North, used Ardmair last year so thought we'd try this one out. Felt the units were very close together.
Toilets etc OK but a bit of bleach down plug holes wouldn't go amiss. Wasn't a bad experience.

A great site, only yards from the town at the entrance, but beside the loch with open views out and across the loch to the Minch on the other side, fantastic. Once you are set up it does not feel as if it is so close to town. Flat grass pitches with plenty of open space.
Facilities all present and correct, although I was surprised to see some electric hookup cables running over the road. The fee was collected in the morning.
The town of Ullapool was bustling and welcoming, with a great variety of small shops and eateries, all your camping and outdoor gear readily available from a choice of shops.
I would be pleased to stay again when passing through.

The reviews about the location of this site are right, it looks just perfectly situated. Having been here before (tents) and returning with a touring van, we noticed some changes (mainly ageing) that are not for the better, but they are not going to distract most customers. A complete mix of bikers / caravanners / motorhomes and tenters but all seemed to get on OK, but some bikers zoomed around.
On arriving at the site, it's clear that they don't run the site like others we visit, there's no staffed reception and paying for the pitch is usually done around 09:00 the next day. Some people in motorohomes tend to make use of this 'free' facility and are off soon after breakfast. Paying £18 for a pitch with elec seems a bit steep with no site warden. A few years ago this site had midgie eater gas machines but they seem to have been stored (perhaps for later in the year) but then they will be really needed.
Some of the grassed area had been trimmed recently. Most of the elec hook ups are in the wrong locations (you'd need to see what I mean) as a number of pitches needed to run their cables over the roads, suffering damage by passing cars. Take an extension lead as you could use it.
Showers (20p) and loos were clean enough although a little dated. Other facilities were not used but available.
Ullapool itself has a number of restaurants and pubs but not as 'family run' or friendly as it used to be. The popular ones are usually full early evening and may not particularly good value for money. Smiles from some bar staff seem to be optional in some hostelries, but you can always vote with your feet like we did.
The Shell garage has been bought by Gleaner Oils and you only need to fill just enough to get you to Inverness to get sensible value fuel. Take plenty of cash as they don't seem to like plastic cards in Ullapool.
A noticeable Police presence in a 4x4 was a regular sight, but we never saw a need for this, they even patrolled the site every night.
At the site entrance there is an Indian restaurant but the hand painted sign on the outside wall did not inspire confidence to take you inside.
We'd be back again, the location makes up for a lot.

I visit this site every year whether en route to Lewis or returning from Lewis. It is the most perfect location for a site I have ever known. The facilities although dated are absolutely spotless and well maintained and you just have to accept during busy periods that they can become a bit untidy, However the dedicated staff thoroughly clean them every morning.
I can confirm that if you owe the staff money they will visit you early in the morning to collect their monies which seems perfectly reasonable to me. The only alternative is to arrive at a reasonable time and pay the night before. After all there are some dishonest people who would arrive late and leave early to avoid payment, having made use of the facilities to the detriment of all those paying guests.
I can't believe that some comments suggest that Anti Social Issues are a factor on the site. Yes there are a number of well run friendly pubs which offer great hospitality and value for money, nearby, but I can think of one which contributes towards any disturbance on site. In addition I have never experienced any real noise issues. I suppose at night noise does carry and a couple returning to their unit after darkness falls, engaged in conversation may cause some individuals to complain. Though can't think why! Your on your holidays.
The site gives great access to the village and the many varied shops and restaurants. There is a busy harbour which is well worth a visit and the ferry to Lewis arrives here several times daily.
I can honestly say, I have caravanned for 14 years, I'm now 40 years of age and I have visited a good few sites in my time. This is the best.

Actual location of site is spectacular however there were many negatives. Toilet block could certainly benefit from some work. We found it rather awkward to find a pitch since the only markings seemed to be hook-up bollards.
After we arrived the 'pitch' vacated by the outfit next to us was taken over by two A class motorhomes. The difficulty in pitching was compounded by the non appearance of any wardens until 8.30am on Sunday morning when they came knocking for payment of fees. Will not be returning for another stay.

Had planned trip for a while as my kids now live on the Isle of Lewis. Read reviews on here and thought 'what the heck!' All we can say is WOW! Ullapool is a gorgeous place and the drive up through the rest of Scotland was breathtaking. Broomfield is a very very good site for a short or long stay.
We pitched up our van and tent and had the spectacular Loch Broom in front of us complete with resident seals on the beach and by the dock. Take or buy hard ground tent pegs as the ground below the grass is very hard. Yes, the reception is only open between 3-5 pm every day but is that really a hardship?, Yes if you don't pay, the staff will approach you in the morning and be warned. They patrol from very early on taking note of non payers.
Yes the toilets and showers could be updated but are clean and well maintained which is all you need. Yes, there are midges but to be honest, these bothered the dog more than us and were really only rife early morning and late at night. I do think the site should stop advertising the bug zappers as these are blatantly not there.
The weather was great when we were there and the night sky is something to behold. If you've never seen a shooting star, you will see literally dozens!
As for the noise.? Well yes there is a pub bordering the site but even if it was full, the population of Ullapool would be no more rowdy than the local darby and joan club.
The chip shop by the Seaforth pub is best. The one opposite the ferry terminal was either shut or manned by the grumpiest old man in Scotland! We were there for 4 nights and will definitely be going back and would recommend Broomfield to anyone. You could not be more ideally situated.Shops 1 min away even Tesco a short walk. Beautiful place. Can't wait to see you again!

A reasonable site for the one night we stayed. Toilet/showers in need of updating and the close location of the pub caused some rowdy drinkers arriving back at their units late on, which after a long ride to get there that day, I wasn't amused at while trying to sleep. No sign of any security at night to keep noise down

Nice campsite. Well located. Noisy though. Noisy fellow camers and noise from nearby hotel after 11 pm and then at 4am the boats in the harbour start making a racket.
OK for 2 nights but glad I'm home so can now sleep.
Someone patrolling after 11 to quieten down large groups and returning drunks would be good, not much you can do about the early morning harbour noise.
