 Managed to stay for 4 nights during some of the best weather we have seen in a while. Although we had only booked for two nights the site was great and weather to good to move, so Jim the owner managed to fit us in for another two nights.
Jim and the staff were very friendly and always helpful. Twice I seen them helping people erecting tents that they were having problems with.
The scenery, beaches and walks around the site really are stunning. Would also recommend a trip to the lighthouse where you will usually see a couple from Fife who now live nearby who do the whale watching. With there guidance and getting to use there binoculars, we seen porpoise and dolphins nearly every day. Also a great burger van there as well who do a fab venison burger.
From the lighthouse carpark you can also walk round to the old-man-of-stoer that takes about 3/4hrs of an hours each way.
All in all it is so far one of the best sites we have stayed at. However we would have to agree that the shower and toilet facilities could do with being increased. There is a bit of a wait during peak hours in the day. However although a little dated they are spotlessly clean with Jim making sure they were cleaned constantly during the day.
One negative is Wi-Fi and phone reception at the site. If you do not need either then it is not a problem. However I do a bit of trading and like to check on things a couple of times a day. In the 4 days I was there I could only get internet signal for about 10 minutes.
There is not a site shop so you need to drive about 5 miles into town to get any supplies. However I believe they may be in the process of building a small shop on site.
Already looking to book up again and hope we are as lucky with the weather as we just have been.

Clachtoll Beach Campsite was the last stop for us on a ten day trip up the West Coast of Scotland (Isle of Skye and Gairloch being the two previous stops). We had booked in for three nights at £26 a night for a trailer tent with ehu, with two adults and two children.
Out of the three campsites we stayed at on this trip (Kinloch – Skye, Sands – Gairloch) Clatchtoll was the most expensive, with the poorest restroom facilities. They were OK, but after the bathrooms at the previous two sites they seemed a bit outdated and also too small for the number of campers, two toilets and one urinal in th gents isn’t really enough for the number of units that they have there. Having said that, they were adequate and always clean for the three days that we were there and if you avoid “rush hour” then no need to wait!
Jim was extremely welcoming and seemed to be everywhere at once helping out when needed, completely different to the staff presence at the other two sites. It would be great if all campsite owners/managers were as helpful as Jim!
The site itself was lovely, set back a few minutes walk from a fantastic beach, with walks in either direction. A perfectly relaxing three days, set next to a beautiful beach, for the last three days of our holiday.
Nice little unmanned Ranger Station next to the beach car park with a lot of facts about the area as well as marine wildlife displayed, and for those that had forgotten them they even had children's nets that they could borrow.
A few inconsiderate campers playing their TV’s at excessive volume at near enough midnight was the only gripe, took a little shouting from the other campers right next to them to get them to switch them down/off but that seems to be a problem that was on each campsite we stayed at, either unlucky for us or just that there are more selfish people camping these days.
We will certainly be back, planning on doing the outer Hebrides either later this summer or next and will be visiting Clachtoll again as part of that trip.

Can't praise this site highly enough, we arrived and Jim the owner came to greet us and then proceeded to help sort us through to our serviced site which was perfect with a view of the sea, the facilities were excellent with free working wifi and toilets/showers which were cleaned daily, the laundry was good if a bit on the pricey side but excellent if required, we had a great stay there and would return if in the area.
The site is situated close to sandy beaches with safe bathing which was an added bonus.

This was my first visit here and I'm going back in the latter half of August. The showers are great and clean. The site is Machair so lots of small flora and fauna to look at. Even a very rare Oysterplant. If you get up early you will see Eider ducks and ducklings. Red and Black Throated Divers. It's a very relaxing site with endless cliff top walking. Stock up before you come as the shops at Lochinver are a good twenty minutes away.

We visited this site 3 years ago, before we had our wee one, and thought we'd try it again with our new canvas bell tent and 2 year old. We were NOT disappointed! The owner remembered us and welcomed us back, we had a serviced pitch this time and he kept the pitch beside us free as our friends were joining us at the weekend. My son took a shine to Jim who always made time for him. Especially when it came to feeding the chickens and having a ride on the 'tractor' (an out of use lawnmower!)
Shower blocks were spotless and Jim opened up the disabled shower to let us shower as a family - much easier to shower a 2 year old with 2 adults present!
Dishwashing area spotless too. The owners run a tight ship and it pays off. The campsite is well kept and clean and the scenery speaks for itself. We've already booked our return trip!

What a great location, by a sandy bay! There were only a few site users when we called in early May and we noted that the two spotlessly clean showers might not cope in the main season. The welcome and orientation tour by the owner was first class. The site is a field with a few semi-hard, well spaced, pitches with EHUs & water round the edge, where some were more level than others. Chickens roam the site, but the is plenty of off lead dog exercise areas near the adjoining beach. Overall rated by us as very good and recommended despite a top whack pitch fee (similar to what you might pay for Caravan Club facilities).

An idyllic site. A few steps away from a beautiful, extensive beach with wonderful coastal walks amid dramatic cliffs and historic landscapes.
Interested in scenery, archaeology, history, walking? It's the place for you.
As for the owner I have never met in 40 years of caravanning and motorhoming a more helpful and friendly site owner.
While we were there, during a really torrential downpour, he struggled onto the roof of a motorhome, whose owners had gone out for the day, to close the skylight which they had left open, thus saving them from almost certain flooding.
The next day during high winds, he was quickly out to help a family pitch their tent which they were struggling to erect, smiling and joking with them.
What a great bloke!
The facilities - toilets, showers and dishwashing - were beautifully clean and maintained.
It takes a bit of a struggle to get there but, my, is it worth it!
Motorhomers need not worry about its being an all grass site. It's on hard, well drained, machair and no problem to negotiate.

No wonder this site is in the top 10 campsites in Scotland.
This site offers an amazing location almost on the beach at Clachtoll. Lovely walks around the headland.
The facilities are good and exceptionally clean.
The free range hens kept our dogs fully engaged when outside the Motorhome.
The owner is on site and resides in a lovely home with amazing views of the Bay. He offered his knowledge of local walks which we could enjoy with the dogs.
The beach is beautiful the sea turquois and when the sun shone it couldn't get any better.
We can highly recommend this site as one not to miss if travelling around Scotland.

We have been dedicated Caravan Club members for years and so we have high standards - and this site met all of them. There are firm standings for the caravans which means you are stepping out onto machair grass ( no nasty tarmac ) and the views of the coast are superb. Shower block is clean and a very good standard. The silence is broken only by the enthusiastic singing of the shorelarks and gulls, but you can almost touch the silence here. Jim and Ischbel gave us the warmest welcome and their commitment to the site and to ensuring everyone gets the best out of their stay here is exceptional.
Lochinver is a short ( if exciting) drive away and has good stores for all the essentials.
The beach at Clachtoll is perfect and the walking around here is superb and the scenery in Assynt is just amazing.
What are you waiting for?

Caravan & 2 adults £20/night with EHU. Road to site from Lochinver is narrow with passing places and tight in places. No problem with a tourer but care is needed. The site is mainly grass with some hard standings which are level but the site generally is uneven and sloping. Toilet and shower facilities are clean but dated. Free wifi which reaches most of the site. Used satellite dish for decent reception. No phone signal. Views to the sea are restricted by sand dunes but the sandy beach is lovely. Chickens roam the site. Friendly warden greeted us on entry and waved us away when we left. Lives in house on site. Fresh fish van visits Wednesdays. Only petrol/diesel in area is in Lochinver and very expensive. Top up before getting here.
Would certainly visit this site again.

We got here on a sunny day and it meant the site was busy, but the owner let us have a choice of pitch. It meant there was not much room for the kids to play but there it a huge field and the beach adjacent so no real issue.
Tidy toilets, showers and washing area. We stayed here for a few days before getting the Ferry from Ullapool so was a good stopping point.
Can't comment on the surrounding area because it was such nice weather spent most of it at the beach which was lovely and clean.

Spent an enjoyable few days at this site:
Friendly, welcoming and helpful warden;
Pretty flat site separated into 3 different sections;
Very clean toilet block and pot washing facilities though slightly cramped (perfectly adequate however when you're on holiday and it doesn't matter if you've to queue for a few minutes);
Super location next to sandy beach and pretty little bay.
All in all a nice site and a good base for exploring the surrounding area.

My husband John and I have just came home after a wonderful holiday at Clachtoll Beach Campsite. The hosts are two of the nicest people you could possibly meet. The campsite is well run and the shower/toilet blocks kept spotlessly clean.
Although there are no shops nearby you don't mind because of the scenery and the beautiful beaches.
The road down to the campsite is one I won't forget in a hurry! It must be travelled to be experienced! My favourite spot has to be half way down this road, it's easy to find because of the three benches sitting there, the view takes your breath away.

Absolutely beautiful beach and stunning scenery. Very friendly and helpful owners who really took care of the site and its campers. Free hot showers and clean facilities although a little small for the number of campers-although only had to queue a couple of times for the pot wash and showers so not a great problem. This is a real 'get away from it all' site and as such you need to be prepared (although there is a small town with convenience store just over a mile away -a bit expensive and petrol was a good 10p a litre dearer than normal. ) The site was visited by a mobile food van which many of the campers used but we didn't. Plenty of room on the site so you didn't feel cramped even though it was busy. Clachtoll beach has its own micro-climate and when the sun shines it is almost tropical with white beaches and a beautiful clear sea. Lovely walking/cycling area too.

Lovely site with a few minutes walk from an outstanding white sandy beach.
Owner could not be more helpful and friendly.
Free wi-fi is also available which was great for uploading pix to Facebook!
Facilities were good, pitches were grass and reasonable size.
I would definitely recommend this site if you are up that area and looking for a place to stay. If you have a dog, avoid Achmelvic as there are NO dogs allowed - period! This site was much more doggy friendly.
