Date of Visit: June 2009 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Jack_igm 30 reviews from this member

 This is a basic site with stunning views. The warden is very friendly and a pitch is only £12 with electric hook up. The only down side was the condition of the toilet block. They are very run down and need some serious work to revamp them. On a Health point of view, there is no chemical disposal point, and I filled up my water containers at the only outside tap on the site. Later that day I noticed another caravanner pouring their cassette toilet down the drain at this tap and then sticking the tap in the spout of their cassette to wash it out. I will be sterilizing my water tanks now after seeing that.

Local shop is adequately stocked with reasonable prices, local swimming pool is very good and a short walk from the camp site. The pool is warm and very quiet. Another bonus is the beautiful beach at FARR which is a short 5 minute walk from the camp site.

I would come back here again but would source my water from another location 


Date of Visit: May 2008 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Jimd58 11 reviews from this member

 With the sun shining, as it did for most of May, this was a beautiful part of the country to arrive at. The park wasn‘t very busy and most pitches were slightly sloping but the use of normal levellers cured this. Paid £12 at the house for one night with hook up. Seemed reasonable until I checked out the toilet block. This was found to be in very poor condition. Only one out of the two showers was operational. The water pipe supplying the cistern for the men’s urinal was broken. There were other signs of general neglect that simple repairs could fix.

The nearby independent grocers was reasonably stocked and priced. The local museum is worth a visit especially for those with an interest in the highland clearances. Elizabeth’s café doubles as the tourist information. The Farr Bay Inn behind the museum and Elizabeth's provided a thirst quencher on a warm day.

Although choices are few and literally far between in this part of the country the other sites visited were very good, but I won’t be staying here again unless someone reports a change. 


Date of Visit: September 2007 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: TimC69 1 review from this member

 This is a basic site in a great part of the world. Fairly cheap (£5 per night when I went) and some good ground (among larger areas of poor ground) to pitch on but the toilet block is antiquated and was filthy when I visited. A full to overflowing bin in the wash area had been knocked over (cats?) and old food remains, bones etc were scattered across the dishwashing area. Money is paid on arrival at a house up the road and there was no sign of any warden visit during the two nights I was there - the aforementioned mess was still there when I departed. Perhaps it is cleaned more often during the summer season, I hope so. There are a couple of pubs serving food and Elizabeth's along the road going east provided a straightforward, good value meal (many of the local hotels are quite expensive for food). Well worth visiting the museum just behind Elizabeth's, and the north coast beaches and cliffs are fantastic.
