Rang the site on the off-chance we could stay but were told it was full, as we were heading that way anyway, we called in and asked (the sign said full) and were pleasantly surprised to be told there was a pitch available with electric. We were on pitch 5 which was very close to the toilet block and spacious and relatively flat. Was very little noise after 11pm.
This is a lovely site, my only complaint is there are only 2 showers and they are tiny, barely enough room to dress without getting your clothes wet, and 3 toilets. The non-electric field was full so I left having a shower until the evening with no problems but could do with a few more loo's. The toilets and showers were immaculately clean, the owners are very friendly and helpful and were out cleaning and re-stocking loo rolls etc at 11pm at night ready for a busy morning the next day.
The location is excellent and the beaches are stunning, of all the sites to pick in this area, I would highly recommend this one and will definitely return.
Lovely site, easy access, well drained and level. Path straight down to a gorgeous white sand beach. Toilet and shower block spotlessly clean and showers were hot, free with good pressure. The new eco friendly owners were nice folk and have great plans for the site. The Easter bunny left a chocolate egg on our doorstep, how fab is that?!
Peaceful when we were there and with a clear sky the stargazing was truly AWESOME.
This site is all about location, being a few minutes walk through the dunes to beautiful white sandy beaches, clear blue sea and views over Rhum, Eigg and Skye.
The owner was friendly and helpful. The field was spacious and we could pitch where we pleased. The outdoor dishwashing area was covered and had a light.
It is worth checking the pricing system as it favours larger tents with several occupants. Tents are £12, plus £4 per person (£1. 50 for children) without EHU. We had decided to take a small tent each so limited ourselves to a one night stop here as it was going to cost £32 a night for the two of us. As it happened, the owner charged us for just one tent as the site was quiet. I think they should review their prices as it's very overpriced for a single camper with a small tent at £16 a night.
Toilets were clean although could be kept better supplied with toilet paper. The tiling in the showers had seen better days and the showers themselves were very small with no shelf to put clothes on, and a shower curtain which tries to wrap itself round you as you shower. There is a free hairdryer.
With upgraded toilet facilities and a more even price structure this would be an excellent site. I would love to visit the area again, but the prices at this site would put me off.
Booked for one night only. Weather a bit challenging but the beach and scenery well worth the drive. Absolutely fantastic views. Beach accessed down a path and some wooden steps down to beautiful beach. Good walks for dog.
Small site, fairly basic with only a few elec hookups on hard standing. Owners friendly. Loos fairly new but very tiny and must be the smallest showers I've encountered! however very clean and it's a really nice wee site.
Just returned from our third visit to Camusdarach. 2 adults one teenager and 2 doggies.
The new owners were very welcoming, we asked for an extension lead for our electric hook up - no problem gave us 2 to try said just return other one whenever.
The owners said to save us carrying our Kayaks across the field to the beach, to just drive through their field and leave at beach - very helpful.
The campsite was kept as clean and tidy as always, the new owners provided a hairdryer in the ladies, which was a nice touch and appreciated.
The beach was as beautiful as always, and on one evening when the midges were being particularly bothersome the owners sent round complimentary citronella incense sticks to make them more bearable - the whole campsite smelt of sweet citronella.
The only downside was we had only booked for 7 nights and the journey took 6 hours and were sad to leave, but will be booking for 2 weeks again next year.

After visiting a number of times on my own, I finally took the plunge and dragged my 5yo son along on the 9 hour trip from home to experience this amazing site. Just for good measure, we dragged his grandmother along too.
We pitched up on the top field on one of the electric pitches and had a nice, level, well drained spot. The weather was superb, and held up well for the week.
My son loved the beach as much as I do, lots of rock pools to explore, great quality clean sand to build sandcastles, and amazing sunsets and views. More and more people are taking to late night campfires on the beach too, which really adds to the atmosphere.
At one point, I was paddling in the sea and noticed 2 seals swimming about 20 feet away, amazing!
The midges tore my arms apart, but my son was left unscathed, as was his nan. I'm just a tasty dude I guess!
The toilet blocks were kept clean, and we didn't have to queue for showers at any point.
Val and the team have done a great job at filling Andrew & Angela's shoes, and I think as they settle in, things will only get better.
I heard of this site on seeing some photos of a friend's wedding- they were married on the beach belonging to the site. The scenery is stunning
Our first visit was in April 2012-the weather alternated between soggy and sunny. My husband returned in May 2012, using the site as a stopover while travelling a long distance. Our third visit was in June 2012-beautiful sunshine here, whilst raining everywhere else! We cycled and walked around the area, taking lots of photos.
The welcome was friendly on every occasion and the pitch each time was a lovely grassy site with electric hook-up (there are hardstanding areas but we didn't want one). We did not need to use our levelling blocks and did not find the site boggy, as mentioned in a previous review ( looks to have had the drainage improved)
The toilet block was clean and warm on each visit. There are only two showers in each block but neither of us have ever had to wait to use one.
There is free wifi on site now too which is useful.
I find this site very peaceful and relaxing, with plenty of room between pitches to allow privacy and a great nights sleep!
Nice site. Owners are in the midst of building a new house so reception was closed. It was quite a trek following the arrows along a long, pot-holed track to find them.
Despite being advertised in camping guide we were not offered a hardstanding.
We were allocated a pitch on grass (not good in wet weather as it was quite muddy) and when we got there it was taken so had to go next door.
Not very level either. Facilities are quite good but don't understand the need for them being locked (£5 deposit for key).
Very, very dark at night and very quiet so had best nights sleep ever.
This is a very pleasant site in a lovely, natural location.
The toilet block was good with an intriguing design and kept very clean and tidy. Recycling facilities available.
There were good laundry facilities - washing machines and dryers using tokens which were good value for money. There were also outdoor washing up areas.
The owners had leaflets on local walks and there was access to the nearby beach and walks along the coast.
We did think that it was rather expensive compared with other sites that we had stayed on but there was a nice friendly atmosphere.
Spent 2 weeks on this site mid-end of August 2010 with my family and friends, 2 large tents (wolflake 7 x2).
It's a small site well managed, owners were very pleasant and helpful. We had 2 large pitches (mostly level), more than enough room for 2 tents,2 gazebos,2 cars plus trailers.
Hook ups were a bit far away, no problem though the owners kindly lent us extension cables (no cost)
The washroom/toilet/shower block is quite small( only 2 showers in each), that said we rarely had to wait.The owners did their best to keep them clean despite some messy campers.(same everywhere). A weather chart was put up each day for the coming 5 days, very useful!
Laundry room was useful and clean.It has books and local info inside.
The location is superb if you like clean sandy empty beaches/coves.The sea is crystal clear,plenty of rocks to climb and pools to investigate.All within 5 min walk.
Sunsets were fantastic.
The scenery in this area is typical highlands, so don't expect to get anywhere quickly.
Fires are permitted on the beach (below high tide level)but not on site.
The site has no shop, that said free range eggs were available as was their own mutton (delicious!)A travelling shop visits twice a week. The local town/village (10 mins by car) has co-op and spar if needed.
I would recommend the local swimming pool,cheap and empty most of the time, kids loved it as they could use the inflatable toys left by the poolside.
There are many local walks, details are availble from the owners.
Finally, a comment re midges,generally they were not a problem,maybe we were lucky or maybe the anti midge stuff we used (SMIDGE and/or Avon Skin So soft)worked.On site there were few about,off site when fishing in local lochs there were plenty about.
Only downside was, its a long drive from Hampshire!
