 Great site next to one of Scotland's best beaches.
Despite the lack of guidance most people park in a reasonably orderly fashion.
If you're bemused by the recent post COVID dog owning boom you'll enjoy the no dog stance, it makes sense given the amount of sheep grazing nearby.
The showers are small but never lacking in hot water; I've always found the facilities to be clean.
The on-site chippy attracts custom from outside the site which is a good sign and they do offer gf batter too. The queues were quite long when we were there but that was opening night and they had a few teething problems with their new fryers.
A quick warning for those who like to live attached to a mobile device: the signal is poor, unless you want to climb a hill.

Great location next to the beach,
We were disappointed that the fish and chip shop was closed, we would have got food on way in had we known. Thank you

Nice site, fairly level grass pitches, shop, nice beach, 90min offroad walk to Lochinver.
Pitches undefined so haphazard parking results in failure to keep safe distances.
Facilities quite good but in need of some maintenance and renewal.

A great location and a warm welcome, well worth another visit.
A bit of a problem for larger vehicles as the road is narrow with passing places,
But on the whole a pleasant site

We travelled as a couple with an infant and loved the location of this campsite; right next to a beautiful sheltered sandy beach.
The reception were pleasant, the showers hot and loved the 12noon check out to allow a morning paddleboarding.
The facilities were quite small but no queuing, a key was issued for the toilet block where needed for a £5 deposit.
I think the toilet block was about to be serviced when we left as the hand soap had run low and the floor needed a clean etc.
The reception has a collection of essential food items to buy.
I would definitely recommend to a family.

Driving to the site. Is an experience. With lots of twists and turns on a single track.
It is worth it
The site has access to one of Scotlands best beeches lovely clean clear water and lovely white sand.
The amenities are limited and only a small amount of hook ups
Toilets showers functional
On the whole don't miss this one I'd you are on the NC500

Upon arrival was a bit disconcerted that was a 'pitch where you like' policy; therefore a little congested around the EHU points; also that the touring site is not adjacent to (the amazing white sand and turquoise sea) Achmelvich Beach.
That said the location is still stunning and everyone on site was pleasant and friendly.
The site became busy, however even with Covid 19 rules in place, there were enough toilets, 2 showers and 3 basins so that never seemed to be queuing. On my first visit the basins were non too clean; that was down to the people using them and not wiping after themselves though as they were absolutely spotless after the Site Cleaning Team had been in.
Plenty of hot water in the washing up areas, again well managed re Covid19 rules.
Ah, the road in. On the one hand stunning as it tracks alongside the "river" inviting you to get on there in your kyaks, but with no access to do so directly; on the other hand twisty, turny and steep, with plenty of passing places. Be aware that the latest departure time is by 12 mid-day, as is the earliest arrival time! Not sure how two towed caravans meeting in the opposite direction would manage.
In summary a relatively quiet, very remote site; some good walking to be done directly from the site; and my first time out on the sea kyaking (once from the sandy Achmelvich Beach, the other from the rocky cove at the site).
NB I was not there with a child so unable to give a true Child Friendliness score as required to complete the review.

This is a lovely site for adults, with plenty of opportunity to walk over the hills and appreciate the spectacular views. The grass pitches were gently sloping with areas of very soft ground not suitable for larger or heavier vehicles.
If you are able to go without an electric hook up for a night or two I would recommend a site right On the grass edge in front of the small natural harbour
Sadly the site was unable to open the shower and toilet facilities due to pandemic precautions but laundry, dishwashing and chemical toilet facilities were open and safe.
The nearby beach with it’s white sands is an amazing spot to sit back and relax, there is a second more secluded beach further along the coast, the walk there is a bit precarious and definitely not suitable for children but what a view, we were entertained for over half an hour by a large pod of dolphins leaping high out of the water, the group of kayakers coming across the bay had a close encounter as the dolphins came in to investigate.
Definitely worth going back.

Excellent site well positioned and well set up for the Covis virus precautions.
This is a natural site with very few set areas and this works well,
Close to an excellent beach with good facilities
It’s a place I’d come back to

I last stayed here eight years ago in a tent and not much has changed. The site is accessed via a narrow single track road which only adds to the charm and remote feel of the place (unless you're driving a huge winnebago I suppose!)
The reception was staffed by a couple of youngsters who were friendly and helpful)
The site comprises of a central area with EHU's but no hard standings so it's first come first served and a little chaotic. We parked in the general camping area to the east where a few other vans were parked as it's fairly flat.
The facilities were basic but adequate. There were no queues that we saw even though the site was busy and given the the very reasonable site fees the location is good value.
The sandy bay next to the site is sheltered and perfect for families and water-sports (weather permitting)
It's hard to over emphasise just how beautiful the location is!
