Date of Visit: August 2011 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Bestyman 48 reviews from this member

 What a fantastic place. We parked our motorhome right next to the beach. In a way we had our own section of private beach.

Cows and sheep were everywhere.

Its about a mile walk to the village with pub and basic shops there.

The 2 hour drive from the ferry on single track roads is not too bad as there are plenty of passing places. We were in a 20ft motorhome.

The site is dog friendly, although you obviously have to keep watch to make sure no sheep are chased.

If anyone wants pictures, send me a PM.

Forgot to mention, bargain price of £6 per person. The cost of the ferry was £105 for a motorhome and 2 people.

 Fidden Farm is a beautiful campsite in a remote location. It's cheap, friendly and largely unsupervised, and choosing a pitch is entirely up to the camper. The ground takes tent pegs easily and holds firm - just as well as it's exposed and can get windy.

The toilet and shower facilities provided are excellent, however, there are not quite enough of them - 2 showers and 2 loos in the ladies resulted in long queues at certain times.

However, there was plenty of hot water and they were kept very clean.

The site does not have a shop, but there is one within walking distance, near to the pier from which the ferry sails to Iona, where there is also a pub.

A lovely place.

 Just returned from here. Intended moving around the island but didn't as we were so happy here.

Views amazing with ability to pitch anywhere. Very quiet site - no noise at night or early morning disturbance.

Really appreciated this. Facilities were excellent - very clean too. We backpacked arriving via Bowmans coaches.

Did some lovely walks from the site and found amazing beaches in both directions from the site.

Ate in the Keel View a couple of times - locals very friendly too. Iona is worth a visit and there is a new campsite there too.

Would go back tomorrow!

 Absolutely stunning location, right next to the shore with a gorgeous sandy beach, the dogs loved it. Amazing views all round. The site is on a working farm and you do meet cows and sheep at times.

The toilet block is nice, modern facilities and warm water at all times, only 2 showers and toilets in each.

There are no marked pitches, you can pitch where you want in the large field, just be careful of the wind! There are a few sheltered spots, but if you don’t go for these just make sure you have some strong guy ropes. We didn’t see any midges at this site (unlike others on the island), maybe this was due to the wind, but also the location as there is not too much vegetation around.

It is a 20 minute ish walk to catch the ferry to Iona which is worth a visit.

As said in previous reviews, a perfect place to chill out, no modern day distractions - no tv reception, no mobile signal (on Orange), no internet, and all this for £6 per adult per night!

 We stayed here for two nights. The chap was friendly and said to pitch up wherever we fancied. We were right next to the beach, which wonderful views and a lovely sunset. The wind.Oh the wind.It was very very very windy while we were there, well done to those in tents who stuck it out!

The shop and pub in the village are walkable. If going to the Spar, take a bag as they are very reluctant to give you a carrier, so go prepared unless you are happy to beg. I ended up giving a donation to charity in return for the bag but happy to do so.

There is also a second hand book stall in a garage, money goes to RNLI, lots of books and a good variety.

We took the ferry to Iona which was lovely.

The showers and toilets look fairly recent and were great! Clean and powerful.

The farm dogs appeared to be friendly, one approached me, having dogs, I know how to approach unfamiliar dogs, all was going well when the dog, changed his mind and snapped at me. So possibly just better to ignore them.

This site would have been perfect if the wind had been less. Certainly worth the long drive to get there.

 Hi, me & My dog, Porridge have just got back from camping on Mull & Iona.

We camped at Fidden Farm campsite. The most beautiful setting ever, right on the beach, overlooking Iona ! Great new shower block, spotlessly clean with loads of hot water. Met loads of great folk,even the weather was hot & sunny. All well worth the £6 per person per night. 10/10,I must go back there !

Reviewer: Sophandphil 1 review from this member

 A beautiful site in a remote location. No frills really but adequate hot water in the showers. As others have said you do have to queue for washing up etc. Owners very friendly but just let everyone get on with it, no wardens or checking on people here. You just drive up check in, and camp wherever you like. We were lucky and got a beautiful spot just up from the beach. No midges either but that is probably due to the wind. Very exposed and therefore windy, probably better in a camper. Also quite a long drive from Craignure etc and not that much to see (castles etc) at this side of the island. Pub ok, not far to walk but I found a bit of plastic in meal. Maybe just bad luck.

Reviewer: Madhoose2k 2 reviews from this member

 What an amazing site! price not at all cheeky, was pretty busy when we were there but the standard of clientèle meant it was not at all noisy or uncomfortable. Could definitely do with another 2 washing up sinks to cope with busy times and another couple of showers/loos, but other than that you'll have to go to the ends of the earth to find anything as special as this place, views stunning.

Will be back may many times!

 We came to Fidden Farm after reading the reviews on UKCampsite.co.uk and the site fulfilled all our expectations of a wild and beautiful setting.

We took extra tent pegs as advised but had no problems with high winds during our stay and a sea breeze kept off the midges. The shore line was crowded with tents and camper vans as this was the peak of the summer season but there were several acres of flat, sheep nibbled grass to choose from inland.

We chose to pitch our tent against the boundary fence and could hear only sea birds and sheep at night rather than our human neighbours. As a result we were so far from the toilets we took to cycling there, and a potty was useful at night!

The toilets and showers were clean and tidy despite being almost constantly in use. The facilities were certainly limited for the number of people on the site but the queues were good natured and we never had to wait long for toilets or wash up, nor did the hot water run out. I washed my children down in the tent with water from the kettle and the washing up bowl which they thought as much a novelty as cycling to the loo.

There is no conventional playground but my children loved climbing on the rocks and playing on their bikes. The pink granite reefs and white sand are stunning and wonderful to explore in a kayak or small boat.

There is a Post Office and general store in Fionnaphort which crams a lot of stock into a small space, but be early to get fresh produce. We visited the Abbey on Iona and took a boat trip to Staffa but it's a site to relax on and be untroubled by phonecalls or the need to be any where in particular.

 The best site we've visited, if you need lots of loos and sinks go to a site and pay for it. Mull is beautiful it takes all day to drive around, Fidden is not well placed for Tobermory but this is not a problem. The fish and chip van at Tobermory is top notch we think Tobermory is overated.The Isle of Iona is worth a trip for the abbey alone. You will truly unwind at Fidden it will leave you wanting more. Dog owners should note that there are endless walks from the site but you will be sharing with sheep and cattle. Well done on the new facilities.
