Reviewer: Arrachogaidh 15 reviews from this member

 First visited this site in May 2012. Back again for 2 nights in 2013 and it is just as good. Believe all the good reports preceding this.

Only point to note is it is some distance to the local hostelry. We used this but were told by a customer it would close and in 2014 be a B&B.

Otherwise this is a great area for visiting and exploring the beaches, coast and isles.

We tried the Arisaig Hotel also and it has a nice deck for sitting on. Friendly to dogs also.

 Second time to Arisaig but first time to this site. Cannot praise both the site and owners high enough.

Facilities are immaculate and great well laid out pitches which means that you are not jammed in next to other guests.

No rip off for electricity as it is pay as you go and a week useage cost us just a fiver.

Ian and Julie are so friendly and welcoming.

Full recycling facilities which was a bonus. Outside shower for washing salt and sand off ourselves and dogs after being in the sea.

I would highly recommend this site to everyone.

Reviewer: Cara89 30 reviews from this member

 The location of this site is stunning. A short walk to gorgeous, white sandy bays.

The site is good for young families as there is a family bathroom with a bath with a seat in it for bathing really little ones. Also a mini shower, sink & toilet! Little ones can paddle in the sea, play in the sand & remember & take fishing nets & buckets for catching all sorts in the rock pools! (Like we did)

The facilities are exceptional. We were there at a very busy time. They were cleaned, checked & looked after to a high standard. The owners work very hard. Quite right that they take pride in what they have achieved here i. E If they don't want children under 10years in toilets unaccompanied then that is reasonable. (We had an 8 year old & a 10 year old so we followed this and adapted)

There is also a covered seating area, fridge, microwave, dish washing. All very good for people in tents.

I also liked being able to do a small washing in the machine for under £2.

The power cards can be purchased anytime by a machine in the facilities block which is very convenient. We were there for 10 nights and used a fridge, lighting and a very occasional fan heater & only had to purchase £3 or thereabouts.

I would recommend this site in a stunning area of Scotland.

Mallaig is only about 5 miles away with ferries to the Outer Hebrides.

There is a Spar nearby in Arisaig. Well stocked. Expensive as you would expect being the only shop in the immediate area. Enquire what the camp site shop has as I do think there was some fresh produce there although we didn't use it.

Beautiful location to summarise. One of the best sites ever & you should see our photos of clear water & sunsets!

Reviewer: Rexxie 45 reviews from this member

 Fabulous site - beautiful location-a short walk to a stunning beach, and wonderful sea views with views over to Eigg, Rum and Skye.

Great facilities- look newly built with quality materials -shower block accessed by key. Great washing up area with separate sink for food preparation and recycling facilities. Laundry room with washing machine with well priced coin operated cycles and tumble dryer. Lots of information provided re tourist attractions and bus/train times etc.

Outdoor shower for wetsuits/sandy feet etc.

Pay as you go electric card -we used less than £2 for a 3 night stay.

Lovely shop in reception with Scottish produce and tasteful gifts.

A nice 15-20mins walk to a bar/hotel with bar meals and restaurant.

Arisaig village is further-easy on cycle -some steep hills!. Arisaig has a spar shop and post office and some cafes and hotel. We took the ferry at Arisaig marina to Eigg -a nice day trip.

Would give this site11/10 if we could! and would love to return.

 'Simply the best' Just had 8 days at this site I can recommend it the facilities are excellent and the owners are so pleasant and welcoming, eager to do whatever they can to make your stay a good one.

We have been visiting the area for a number of years and for us this is by far the best site in the area.

You pay for the electricity you use - it cost us £3. 97 for 8 days. We used a Microwave, Electric Kettle, TV, Microwave, Fan Heater and heated the water. Our friends left their heating on low over night and still only used £6 for the 8 days. It does beg the question why are we being charged a fix price of £3 plus on other sites for electricity.

Large stoned area for hosing down wet gear when you have been in the sea

The other good thing is the washing machines £1. 20 for a full load quick wash.

Date of Visit: May 2013 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Robnixon 21 reviews from this member

 We spent a great week here during the last week of May. Over our first weekend (Bank Holiday), the site was full but each day afterwards, became quieter. We had a fantastic week of weather and the children spent many a day in the kayak on the white sandy beach 2/3 mins walk way through a private path.

Spectacular views of Eigg, Rum and Skye from the site and beach.

Superb facilities and owners regularly in the toilet / shower block cleaning. After visiting a number of sites over the last 5 years, the facilities here were by far the best.

Small shop on site, selling essentials (Milk, BBQ meat, Bacon etc) and small gifts.

There is no room for the children to play ball games, but this is for the pleasure of the other guests (motor homes generally) and the beach is only a short walk away which was often deserted!

Lots to do in the surrounding area. Arisaig is a 25 min walk away which is a lovely village. There is a Spar, cafe's and boat trips to the Small Isles in the village. I would definitely recommend a day trip to Eigg to climb the Sgurr!

Loch Morar is a nice walk as well as the numerous beaches 5 mins away (Camusdarach Beach was our favourite away from the sites own beach). A superb beach also at Rhu, but its a 30 min walk from the car park, but well worth it! There are a few more shops, including Co-op and a good fish n chip shop in Mallig, which is only 10 mins in the car.

Really lovely site and helpful owners. We definitely hope to be back!

Reviewer: Aldoscott 19 reviews from this member

 Visited this site on an 11 day tour round Scotland. My first impressions were that it was a nice site. After meeting the owners we were absolutely impressed. They are the nicest, most helpful and friendly people you will meet on any site.

The views are spectacular and the facilities are modern, warm and sparkling clean.

If you need any advice on the area Ian & Julie are a mind of information.

To summarise we loved loved loved this site and cant wait to go back later in the summer

Reviewer: Morrisons102 3 reviews from this member

 Not for families - adults only site!

This site has a new very clean toilet/shower block but because of this the owners feel they have to be constantly watching you, especially families. They also give a 1/2hr tour after you have driven 10hrs to get there. Also, all children under 10yrs old have to be supervised in the toilet/showers which can be restricting especially as our children like to camp due to the freedom they normally get.

The site rules are numerous and have to be adhered to with no leeway, if you do they speak to you like children!

It is not a holiday site for chilling and having fun with your family as we and other families were constantly watched and reminded of the rules.

The prices are double everywhere else (as we found out from some friends who stayed elsewhere)- you are paying for the toilet/shower block. It is not worth it especially as other sites are friendlier and more relaxed plus this site does not have direct access to the beach.

This site almost put us off this area which is spectacular and well worth a visit and does have friendly locals elsewhere. I would strongly suggest if you are a family to avoid this site. 


Date of Visit: May 2013 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Lekster 2 reviews from this member

 A beautiful site run like a military operation. The constant supervision by the owners is overbearing and intrusive. Pitch your tent exactly where they tell you, ensure you know the exact size before you book, extra charges everywhere, no ball games, toilets that are locked constantly and monitored to the point that you feel uncomfortable. The prices they charge are extortionate compares to other sites in the area and they are certainly not welcoming. We have camped all over England & Wales and in 12 other countries, this was our first visit to Arisaig & it put us off Scotland completely. The only saving grace was we had friends staying at other sites up the road. The area itself is obviously popular as all the sites were busy and it is indeed a beautiful part of the world but we would not return due to the totally officious nature of the Sunnyside owners.

Reviewer: Andi1 4 reviews from this member

 2nd visit to Sunnyside and loved it even more this time round!

Facilities second to none and very well thought out with maps, covered areas, microwave, recycling, local tourist and shop with tourist items and local produce.

The owners were friendly and helpful as always and work so hard to ensure facilities immaculate.

Beaches fantastic, sunsets spectacular and local eateries very good particularly Rhu Cafe.

Rock area now cordoned off as deemed unsafe for children to play on and no other play areas available though personally we find this an attraction rather than a negative and maintains the peaceful ambience of the place.

Some of the pitches on a slope and you require rock pegs for awnings though Iain has worked really hard over Winter improving pitches.

An absolute haven and can't wait to get back.

Reviewer: Gibstir 5 reviews from this member

 We have just returned from a fantastic week's holiday at this lovely site.

The site itself is immaculate with large hard standing pitches, plenty of room for car, caravan and full awning leaving a nice patch of grass at the front for our dog. The views from the caravan were amazing and we enjoyed beautiful sunsets every night. Showers and toilets were always spotless and warm. There is also a separate family room and disabled facility.

There are long stretches of white sandy beaches with aqua clear water. Lots of outdoor activities for all ages. Also very peaceful and quiet if that is what you were looking for.

The owners, Julie and Iain were very welcoming, showing us around the facilities, and providing lots of useful information to make the most of our stay.

We felt that the cost was reasonable and reflected the high standard of the site. Electricity is paid for via a card at the hook up point. We used £5 for 7 days.

We enjoyed a lovely meal at the hotel just a short walk away, again a very warm welcome, whether you were there for just a drink or for dinner. This has to be one of the most beautiful areas that we have ever visited and we will be back very soon.

Reviewer: Charlie24 11 reviews from this member

 Excellent site, excellent facilities, excellent outlook. I do not think I have ever experienced such a comprehensive briefing from the Site owner. Everything was explained and a thorough tour of the facility was given in the most friendly manner you could wish for. The entire site is a credit to the owners who have carried out most of the work themselves. The view across to Eigg is spectacular.

Although we only stayed for one night at Easter on our way to Skye we will definitely be back.

I particularly like the metered electric supply, much fairer.

Heartily recommended.

Reviewer: Bunny72 12 reviews from this member

 Most helpful and welcoming reception at this wonderful site. Very new toilet block. Great views over beach to the islands. The beach is a walk of about 2 minutes and, is great for dogs. It will also be great for children as it has beautiful White sand and many rock pools.

The pitches are slightly sloping and the owner lent us blocks when he saw we did not have these. The electricity is extra and we paid £2. For two nights and did not use it all. A small price to pay for such a good site. We will be back!

Reviewer: Sophiedog1 16 reviews from this member

 Second site on our 2 week tour, this was a site we wanted to visit 2 years ago whilst in the area but it had not been opened in time (still under construction), it was worth the wait!

Very clean and modern facilities block which caters especially well for campers with free use of fridge/freezer and microwave and covered area to sit and eat/socialise.

Great views to the west for sunsets from spacious hardstanding pitches.

We only used the site as a stop-off this time before boarding the ferry to Skye but will defo return for a longer stay. 


Date of Visit: August 2012 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Banni 2 reviews from this member

 This is a great site with excellent facilities.

The pitches are hard standing and whilst not on the beach the views of Eigg and Rhum are great.

The toilet block is very clean and there is plenty of hot water.

There is a motorhome service point at the entrance to the site.

We didn't use the shop on site but it has the basics plus local produce.

If you have a bike the road to Arisaig or Traigh is not busy, it used to be the main road to Mallaig but a new road has been built thus the road outside the campsite is quiet.
