Date of Visit: May 2019 Unit:  Motorhome
Nights stayed: 1 Travelling as:  Mature couple
Reviewer: Carr999 13 reviews from this member

 £17 for motorhome with 2 adults. Fairly level pitches, some hardstand, most with electric. 20 pitches plus tents and possibly more without electric.

2 modern new toilet blocks, £1 for 7. 5 mins shower, very clean.

Full recycling. Free WiFi covering a lot of the site, slow as expected, as it is in the middle of nowhere.

Very friendly lady owner. Food wagon was closed when we were there.

Date of Visit: July 2018 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Jujofred 4 reviews from this member

 What a beautiful spot, right across the dunes from the most fantastic beach and the informative nature reserve just round the corner.

There is ample space for all whether you are in a tent, motorhome or caravan. EHU is available for those that require it.

We were blessed with glorious weather, but the ground is sandy and so I don’t imagine it ever gets too waterlogged.

The facilities are spotlessly clean and really handy as there were many taking advantage of the lovely sunshine and heading off to the beach and into the water so it was great to have somewhere warm and toasty to shower afterward.

The ladies who run this site are so friendly and never seem to stop!

The little food van is a great asset too and serves a mean bacon butty! I would highly recommend the walk along the headland as advertised at the RSPB reserve.

The walk is beautiful and, certainly in July, was full of the colour and fragrance of all the wild flowers and is a bird watchers dream with the variety of birds nesting in the area.

Reviewer: Tinwheeler 6 reviews from this member

 We arrived on a very wet evening during the aftermath of Storm Hector. Reception was closed when we arrived but our pitch was marked with our name. It was just unfortunate that we had to tramp around the site in the rain to find it!

The facilities are first class and the laundry machines worked well. There is a superb drive over drain for motorhome grey water disposal and, with EHU and Wi-fi, had everything we could need.

The Co-op shop at Sollas is well stocked, as are most of the island shops, and met our needs well.

The area around Balranald is spectacular with glorious beaches and the Machair. It’s particularly good if you’re a walker.

We would certainly use this site again. 


Date of Visit: June 2018 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: MrBongo 3 reviews from this member

 Brilliant place, the folks that run the site also have an on site catering van so are on site all the time.

Really good facilities and free WiFi. Being on the bird sanctuary is hand for walking around and seeing birds - the corncrake was calling most of the evening.

We’ll be back soon

Reviewer: Louissa 27 reviews from this member

 A nice site - but possibly a victim of its own popularity. It was full for our visit in mid-May so I'd very much recommend booking before making the drive out there.

There were hardstanding & grass pitches available - EHUs only on the hardstanding. Units were fairly close together without being overly cramped.

The shower block was clean and newly renovated - but too small when the site was full: both in terms of the number of facilities available and the actual space. (Those using the sinks had to move to let others by/out of the showers. ) I had to queue for both the shower and the toilet in the morning.

The staff were lovely & friendly. The reception is small - no shop but they do sell little pots of ice cream :) The pot wash is, again, pretty small but clean, and had washing facilities. There was also a communal washing line, which was very efficient in the Hebridean wind!

We paid £14 for the night which I thought was decent value. The showers cost £1 for 7. 5mins.

A lovely - if (inevitably) exposed - location, especially for birdwatchers. It's also only 30 seconds walk (straight across the road & dunes from the campsite entrance) to a gorgeous bay: white sand and calm blue sea.

Dogs are welcome but have to be exercised off site - no problem, with the beach so close though.

Reviewer: Denisridyard 2 reviews from this member

 We saw a corncrake as well as hearing them. There were so many different types of birds on the adjacent long white sandy beach, headland walk and rocky shores.

The site facilities were modern, clean and excellent. There is a catering van on site too.

Reviewer: Jsun 19 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for one night with an electric hook up.

The site is next to a working farm. It was one of the best we stayed on for washroom facilities although the laundry and kitchen area was a bit cramped.

It was also one of the best for location, with quick access to a fantastic beach and the RSPB reserve. It was very windy during our visit and the site is exposed. There is nowhere in walking distance to go and eat so you need to be self sufficient.

There is a small co-op at Sollas. I would recommend this site and would also recommend booking in advance as it was full during our visit. The free wifi was poor.

Reviewer: Reuben 15 reviews from this member

 A great site with a very friendly welcome. We hadn’t booked but there was plenty of room but no EHU pitches available but that didn’t bother us.

Lovely beaches with an RSPB hide a couple of hundred meters away.

Facilities were immaculate. Only stayed for the night but would have happily stayed a week. 


Date of Visit: October 2017 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: JandB 16 reviews from this member

 We stopped here for 2 nights during September,

The facilities are small but clean and modern. There's a nice friendly lady who runs the site. There are about 25 level pitches, some on hardstanding and some on grass.

The ground is sandy soil so no problems with drainage. A beautiful white sandy beach is just a stone's throw away and the headland behind the site is a RSPB reserve, which is great if you enjoy a 2 hour walk with ocean views.

Reviewer: FREEDOM 1 8 reviews from this member

 I spent 6 nights at balranald campsite, being my fourth visit. Welcomed by anne and husband john allen and family.

The staff are very friendly and efficient carrying out the cleaning routines. Site busy but managing well.

As stated many times in previous reviews the facilities are well kept. Had soup and scones from dunes catering snack van which were delicious. Met a lot of the extended family, very nice. I read that expansion in facilities is being considered.

I was treated to magnificent sunsets. The temperature reached 23 degrees on sunday.

I (hopefully) will be back next year.
