 Great campsite very near to an absolutely fantastic beach/bay for snorkeling canoeing etc.
The campsite is situated in the dunes on very sandy free draining grass, which never seems to be too wet even after heavy rain.
There are lots to do in the area from walking and cycling to fishing and playing in the sea. There isn't a play park though, but the beach more than makes up for it.
The staff are approachable and the facilities good, but possibly a bit limited if the camp site is very busy.
Great Fish and Chips on a thursday night from a mobile chipper. You are a short drive way from the nearest town, so don't forget anthing. The town itself has good shops etc.
Just check the weather forecast before you go and pitch your tent with the wind direction in mind. When it gets windy it is pretty exposed!

Absolutely brilliant campsite. True there is no bustling club room but there is beautiful scenery, stunning beaches and a very warm welcome. There is another campsite a few miles away but does not compare to Clachtoll. Plenty of walks, very short stroll to sandy beach. Water so clear you can see the fish. Ideal for snorkelling and inflatables. Chickens roam free on the site and if you are lucky the host will teach you how to pick them up. NOTE TO PARENTS - When we were there there were 3 or 4 children who made an activity out of chicken chasing which they obviously enjoyed, however I am not so sure the chickens did, and we certainly did not enjoy having the kids screaming round our tent and knocking things over - not a parent in sight

What can I say except - Pack your provisions and just go! but not all at the same time as me. It is everything everyone else said and more. Watch out that you don't end up packing a chicken when you leave, they explore everywhere.
I had very mixed weather, glorious sunshine to torrential rain and very strong winds which my tent didn't enjoy, but Jim offered sanctuary in a static until the wind dropped
If I could rate Jim's welcome I think 100 out of 10 would be about right, and thanks for the suggestion of Fish and Chips. They were the best.

Beautiful location - although the road there might be difficult for larger caravans and motorhomes.
The site is right beside a stunning beach and perhaps because of this gets very crowded with the site facilities being quite busy 'Jim' the manager is however a star and has the uncanny knack of seemingly being simultaneously everywhere on the site ensuring that the place is spotless.
Yes the dishwash tends to have a queue but the queues are short and good natured.
There are chickens running wild around the site and it seems that if you find an egg its yours - egg hunts are one way to keep the kids amused should they grow tired of the beach.
Warning: Do not turn left leaving the site we did and found ourselves driving for 20 miles never getting out of second gear and one particularly long steep hill had us in first gear and praying

We stayed at Clachtoll in July 2011 after a long drive up from Cumbria. The road to the campsite seemed to be never ending but when we came over the top of the last hill before the site the view down to the campsite was stunning.
The white beaches and clear blue sea were amazing. Once at Clachtoll Jim came to show us where we were to put our tent. He also offered to help us to put it up but with four people we were alright without him.
Jim and Ishbel were always around if you ever needed any help and were always cheerful. The facilities were always clean, the toilets and showers were regularly checked and it made a big difference from other sites as they were always tidy.
The pot washing area was clean and tidy. There is a freezer to keep your freezer blocks in which was very helpful. The laundry was clean and tidy and there was washing powder provided.
The fish and chips from the fish and chip van, that visits the site, were excellent and gave us a break from cooking.
Come prepared as the nearest shop is 6 miles away in Lochinver and there is no on site shop. No on site facilities for the kids but the beach and surrounding area can be their playground.
A very friendly, relaxing site with stunning views.

Visited the site last weekend and found it a friendly, clean site with adequate facilities. Perhaps more showers would be beneficial as they can get busy but the water was always hot and plentiful. Perhaps some more dishwashing sinks.
The setting is beautiful with the white beach just a couple of minutes walk away. The surrounding scenery is beyond belief and worth the long journey. We found the roads easy to drive and quiet.
Nearby Lochinver is a beautiful village where you can buy limited supplies.
There are beautiful walks in the area for all abilities. Would definitely return. Be prepared for the silence!

My husband and I are just back from this site and it was wonderful. We were supposed to stay 2 nights as we were touring but ended up staying for 4.
The atmosphere is so calm and the area beautiful. It's everything a campsite should be. It was not full when we were there as it's before the school holidays but Jim, the owner, says he does not pack them in like sardines so I would highly recommend it to everyone.
Jim and Ishbel were wonderful and Jim told us about walks in the area which we did. They made it a lovely atmosphere on the site and knew everyone by their first names.
Toilet and shower facilities are first class. The weather was fantastic when we were there so the scenery was amazing.
We can't wait to go back and if it wasn't so far up the country from Glasgow we would go for the weekend.

This the place if you want magnificent scenery, peace and quiet and a warm, friendly, welcome, but go prepared to meet the challenges of the weather!
We visited in May and encountered some of the worst weather I have ever seen - pelting rain and howling gales (in May!)
Our tent collapsed on the second day and we were ready for heading home.
Fortunately our knight in shining armour in the shape of Jim, the owner came to our rescue - he helped us take down the tent(having helped us to put it up), and he put us up in a caravan on site for the remaining days of our holiday, charging us only a little extra for gas. Jim and his wife Ishbel could not have been more welcoming or helpful and I would not hesitate in recommending a visit - may be you'll be luckier with the weather.
I've given an overall rating of 9 simply because the site could do with a few more facilities such as a shop and a children's playground.
Oh, and the fish and chip van comes round three times a week! - very welcome.

Visited this site in September 2010 and stayed 3 nights. Its owner Jim is very welcoming and helpful at all times. The toilet and shower facilities were spotless. The surrounding area is beautiful, with a white beach, great walks near the site and we enjoyed cycling to Stoer lighthouse, which had fantastic views. Although the site does not have any shops or pubs nearby (would advise you stock up with essentials at Lochinver - 5 miles away). It is a single track road to the site with passing places and we did not encounter any problems at all accessing the site. We also liked the remoteness of the area and would highly recommend this site.

Spent two nights here and have every reason to be believe we'll be back - what a place!
Jim is helpful and available. The site facilities are clean and well organised, the pitches are large, open and dry (even though it rained whilst we were there it dried off quickly)and it would be difficult to better the setting.
When the sun is shining the white sandy beach and the sparkling clean blue sea could be Portugal or somewhere exotic further away. And when the wind gets up and the sea turns rough and black you can invent dramatic tales of sailors and shipwrecks.
I suppose that the lack of a shop, a pub, a playground, and the 'hairy' 5 mile trip down the single track lane and the changeable weather might put families off, but somehow they were all added attractions to the two of us.

Just spent 3 nights at Clachtoll Beach Campsite. Was warmly welcomed by lady manager (sorry didn't get your name) & later met Jim who was very friendly & chatty. We arrived on 18th Sept and site was fairly empty - the forecast was pretty poor. Being in a tent we opted for a bit of shelter rather than view but were more than happy with our pitch. Very flat, soft soil but sturdy enough to hold our tent through the worst of the weather to follow. Our second night was a bit wild, wet & windy - but hey, it's Scotland in September on the coast.
The facilities are immaculately clean & more than adequate (hairdryer in ladies). Although there was what appeared to be a hen night in one of the static vans beside us, all human activity was quiet by midnight - rain & wind caused most of the noise.
The beach close by is beautiful - sand & rocks. You should make sure you have all you need though because nearest shop is Lochinver 5 mls away. This is a beautiful wee campsite & I will definitely be back - just hope for some better weather.

Recently spent three nights here, whilst touring Scotland on a hiking holiday. If you're in this part of the UK then I'd highly recommend staying here. The owner Jim is really helpful and friendly. He gave me some tips on the best walking routes in the area, which was useful.
The location is quite remote but that's part of the charm of the place. It's a real gem in the highlands and the little beach is great when the sun is out.
Facilities are good - hot showers, clean toilets, washing up sinks, laundry (£3 washing, £1-£3 drying), coffee machine. There are no local shops for a few miles so make sure you stock up before you go. There is a Spar in Lochinver where you can get most things. And make sure you visit the Information Centre in Lochinver, it's really well run and packed with interesting information about the area, wildlife, walking, geology, history.
Overall, it's a great place to relax and unwind.

This site has to be one of the gems for location, scenery and tranquillity.
Have just returned from a weeks visit and to say that Jim and Ishbel were the perfect hosts is an understatement. Jim is always on hand to help in any and every way to make your visit a joy and for that I would say a special 'Thank you'
The single track road from Lochinver is a little difficult to negotiate with a large unit but the effort is to arrive at a beautiful location.
All the facilities on the site were spotless and there was ample room for all.
The four adults in our party give this their 100% vote.
This is a 'Must return to' site.

Just back from clachtoll beach, all I can say is 'go there' it's fantastic, views, peace and quite, just great.If your looking for a place to unwind then this is it.
If your looking for a site where everyone is on top of each other then go somewhere else. This is how campsites should be. I have a large motorhome and access and space were not a problem.

Excellent location. Very peaceful and gorgeous beach.
Lots of space and flat pitches. Toilets & showers are very clean. I was a bit worried at first that for the size of the site, 3 toilets and 2 showers wouldn't be enough, but I never came across a queue so seemed to work ok.
You need to take provisions with you as the nearest village with a shop is 6 miles and the shop is only a small Spar shop.
The only downsides were the lack of a pub & strict dog rule: There is no pub for miles & miles - the last one we saw was in Ullapool and that was a long drive away! So as long as you are happy making your own entertainment, then this shouldn't be a problem
The site is very strict on dogs. We had a whole field to ourselves and decided to give the dog a quick 10 minute play session with the ball. Almost immediately, the owner came and told us to put the dog back on the lead. They offered us the next field as a playground but they are full of sheep and just not safe to put dogs in!
All in all, excellent site and would go back again
