Date of Visit: September 2009 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: JaneH 63 reviews from this member

 Nice site with lovely setting overlooking the water. Handy walk to Scourie beach, rough path from campsite or a bit further along the road, there is a great little bird hide next to the beach with lots of local info inside.

The site owner is friendly and has lots of witty notices around the site, certain to make you chuckle.

The pitches are hard standing and first come first serve for the water front ones. The facilities are excellent, one of the best shower blocks used during our trip. The laundry is reasonably priced and the restaurant next to the site serves decent food and wine.

It is a 5 minute flat walk to the local supermarket with friendly staff. 


Date of Visit: August 2009 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Alex+Siobhan 4 reviews from this member

 This is a lovely site.

We turned up because they do not take bookings and we were shown a few sites that we could pitch on.

Toilet block were very big with lots of toilets and showers - only downside is that there is nowhere to put anything when you are having a shower so all of your things get wet.

Site is very well kept and tidy.

There is a pub on the site which is where we had dinner the night we stayed. I would recommend the steak and the ribs - they were both lovely although the most expensive items on menu they were well worth the money!

The next morning as we got ready to leave the owner called us into his office to give us the £3.00 back that we had paid for our awning.

As we have a campervan we have a pull out awning that is attached to the van - the owner told us that this was more of a shelter then an awning and he could not take the money off us which was very kind of him and he did not have to do that.

We would definitely return to this site. 


Date of Visit: July 2009 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Adasb 20 reviews from this member

 We were disappointed with this site and only stayed one night before moving up to Durness. The site was crowded and very exposed, with a limited choice of places to pitch where a) we could find some shelter, and b) where we wouldn't be overlooked. After much deliberation, we found a small area near a wall at the top of the site, but were very overlooked with the close proximity of camper vans which arrived after we had pitched our tent. All the 'best'(suitable for us)pitches were filled already.

The facilities were excellent though, and the owners very friendly and helpful despite lots of rules posted up on walls everywhere. As the weather then became cold and raining we didn't explore the beach or area that evening, and we made a quick getaway the next morning. We heard from a fellow camper next to us that the weather had been brilliant all week, up to our arrival!

Finally, they charge by tent size, and although we'd paid £14 when we arrived for the bigger tent we intended using, given the small pitch and the deteriorating weather, we only used the small pop-up tent which would have been £4 cheaper - we felt we couldn't ask for a refund! But then, that was our fault, not theirs. 


Date of Visit: May 2009 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Jolly_camper 37 reviews from this member

 Spotted this site on UKCampsite.co.uk and tried to phone and book, 'we've not taken bookings since 1974' is just one of the quotes from the colourful site manager / owner who has plenty to tell visitors! A handy site for visits to Handa Island just up the road (ferry trip £10 per person).

Our visit was rewarded with great views over an interesting beach and natural sea scape as mentioned by the previous reviewer. The road from Ullapool provided a steady panorama and was worth the journey in itself, don't forget to stop at the ruined castle.

The price was £15 per night incl elec for two people + caravan. On site facilities were absolutely spotless although there were plenty of rules posted to let everyone know what was expected of them(!).

A large area of the site is laid to well-kept grass on multi levels and another hardstanding area (which looks a little like a car park) mainly for touring vans and camper vans, but it did overlook the bay.

Hotel nearby did food/drinks but small cafe next to site was only open for some of the season and closed during our visit. Spar shop in village had the basics available.

If you fancy a site with stunning views and you don't mind a little wind blowing the cobwebs away, this could well be your answer. Don't bother booking as the owner does not bother as they've never turned anyone away so far since 1974! 


Date of Visit: September 2006 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Sallyfeet 1 review from this member

 Wonderful site, views and walks. Quirky signs and owner who was welcoming, friendly and extremely helpful to us. The garage was expanding and the shop was excellent. Showers & loos spotless.

Date of Visit: September 2007 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Lazy Dazy 10 reviews from this member

 First visited this site 30 years ago and fell in love with its position. Have returned intermittently since then but intend to be back many times now we have got a super-duper tent, i.e. One I can stand up in.

Quirky manager and signs all add to the pleasure of a visit here. Toilets/showers all perfectly adequate while not exactly spa material. Bar and restaurant on site and a good hotel bar very close by. Scenery to die for and walks a-plenty. Don't forget a sunset dram! 


Date of Visit: September 2007 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Tina1 5 reviews from this member

 Owner very friendly. Lots of tongue in cheek notices pinned up. We where pitched with a hook up at the front edge of the site nearest the sea and it was beautiful. Toilet block very clean. Hot water did seem to cycle hot and cold a bit but it always leveled off. Only 1 hand dryer which was situated outside the toilet area in a communal lobby, I assume this was to stop it being used as a hair dryer.Wash-up area and laundry was clean. Restaurant on site which was nice. Lovely and peaceful. Plenty of walking straight from the site. Wish we lived nearer. 


Date of Visit: August 2007 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Rdt2 4 reviews from this member

 Overview:   private site in a fairly remote location.
 
Pluses:  spotlessly clean facilities, eccentric but helpful owner, stunning location and views (weather permitting), Spar shop nearby (closed Sundays), on-site bar/restaurant, nearby walled garden.
 
Minuses:  cash only (no credit/debit cards and no nearby ATM).
 
Would we return:  most definitely 


Date of Visit: May 2007 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Alanterri 72 reviews from this member

 We returned mid May 2007. The weather was awful but that was not Angus the Owner's fault. The  cafe /restaurant bar was open. Very clean and smart, but what a shame about the very poor choice of menu. What we had was ok but with a little imagination it could be improved dramatically.
 
Whilst we were there every new arrival managed to trip out the electrics. Closer examination revealed the 16 amp circuit breakers had been replaced with 6 amp ones! How mean!
I heard the same rumours as last year that the Caravan Club may try and buy the site. If only.
 
Otherwise a very pleasant stay and scenery to die for. 


Date of Visit: May 2006 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Alanterri 72 reviews from this member

 Consider how far north you are and in some respects this site is a little oasis. Mostly hardstandings and apparently 16 amp electric. We never had any problems. The sunsets are the best I have ever seen and take your breath away. The facilities are very clean, plenty of them and gallons of hot water. We did find it hard to regulate the shower temperature which is strange as the units are of German origin. Angus the guy who runs the place is odd but we found him very amiable and chatty. Don't be put off by all his notices, most of them are a laugh ! Good grub at the Scourie Hotel. The onsite restaurant and bar was closed when we were there. We are going back May 2007.
