Arrived at campsite after a lovely drive in. booked in at the bar, warmly welcomed, booked in for three nights eventually stayed four, as the weather was holding out.
Site lay out very good plenty of room for everyone. Plenty of EHUs, I dont use them. Pitched tent, amazing scenery all around.
As said in previous reviews the facilities are immacculate, showers very good, facilities block lovely and warm.
Tent pitched (halfords 4 man tent) time to visit the bar, pleasantly met by the owners and others, bar was filling up with diners, I heard nothing but glowing reports about the food. I did have a scampi take away later lovely.
Drove up to lochinver on single track road hairy in places views stunning, always welcome back in the bar at evening time.
All said lovely place, lovely owners, staff and locals. Will return next year
Wow! Wow! Wow! What amazing scenery, and that's way before you arrive at the site. You feel like you've been transported to another time and place, with the enormous mountains, the Lochs, the crofters cottages its almost as if you were on some volcanic island somewhere and as for that single track road with lots an lots of passing places on either side, leading up to Port A Bhaigh, 12 miles of sheer delight and terror all in one, in the lead up to what can only be described as God's own back garden, when you come over that final crest and see the summer isles all laid out before you it takes your breath away. Honestly, it really does!
How many beautiful views can you keep pointing out to each other, look over here! and look over there!, wow, look at that! It's so difficult trying to soak it all up whilst also trying to manoeuvre the car and caravan around the sides of mountains on a single track road with other vehicles seeming to come out of nowhere, yes, its pretty daunting to me, the newbie caravanner, but I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Eventually after about 45 minutes of weaving, stopping, starting, climbing and descending, you arrive at Port A Bhaigh which descends still further, down a steep winding gravel slope to a modern looking toilet block with a glass frontage and further down another level to a little outcrop of caravans, motorhomes and tents.
On the window was a sign saying that a member of staff would be there between 11 am - 1 pm and I think it was 4 pm - 6 pm and if not around to just pick a pitch as non were pre booked, so we picked a pitch further down the gravel road right at the front, so we were now facing an incredible view out to one of the summer isles, in a superb setting.
The gravel road descent had both Paula and I a little concerned as to whether or not we'd make it back up with the caravan attached but we needn't have worried, because when we voiced our concerns to a lovely lady when we finally booked in, she said, don't worry David will tow you out with his landrover, which he did and even when we tried to give him some money for him having to get up early and do it for us, he kindly refused and said 'No thank you, thanks all the same', and wished us a safe journey home. Many thanks again David.
The site then, what was it like? Well, the toilets and showers were spotlessly clean and thanks to the staff for that because we were there when it was very busy. There was very warm under floor heating in there too, which was nice. Showers were fairly large with a seat included inside, plenty of hooks for your clothes etc and always plenty of hot water available.
The family run bar at the top of the site 'AM FUARAN Bar' didn't allow our little dog inside, which was understandable as they serve food, so we only went the once, but it was 'olde worlde' inside and we bought drinks and took them outside to drink on the terrace whilst watching the beautiful sunset.
The staff here couldn't do enough for you which made our stay all that more memorable. Thank you all very much.
Don't let the single track road nor the steep descent down to the site put you off, because I can guarantee that once you've settled down for your first night here you'll be captured by the place just as we were. We didn't have a 4x4, those that did had no trouble at all, plus David says he's planning to tarmac the road this year which will make it much easier to negotiate it.
Just returned from a 6 week tour of my homeland and can't rate this site highly enough. Brand new toilet block. Lovely owner and the lady who does the cleaning also very friendly and helpful.
Had brilliant weather, did lots of walking\cycling and a tour of the Summer Isles (would recommend).
Had the most fantastic seafood meal in the owner's restaurant above the campsite - beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Can't wait to go back.
Apparently killer whales (Orcas) were seen in the bay a few days before our arrival but sadly they didn't appear for us!
Spent one night at this fantastic campsite, and despite it being unseasonably cold for August, we had a lovely time.
The site and amenity block is absolutely spotless and there is nothing they could add to improve the overall presentation, in my opinion. I prefer rustic locations to camp, and the tent pitches at this site are well spread out and the terraces at the back of the site perfect for hiding away and also allowing for perfect views over the bay and sunsets, thus making a superb spot for combining plentiful facilities with a general feel of wild-camping.
The wee beach is great for beach-combing but is not immaculate, there is plenty of debris (washed up rope and bits n bobs), but great for a scramble along the rocks when the tide is out and there is some nice walking in the vicinity too.
We have a generous 4-berth tent, three large dogs and an estate car - one night = £14! Superb value.
The drive in to Altandhu past the Assynt range including Stac Pollaidh is second-to-none for scenery, and the pie-shop in Lochinver (whilst expensive) is well worth a visit too. Don't forget ullapool on the way back for fish n chips :)
Agree with comments regarding position of site, reasonable charges, hot water etc but was astounded to be told by the warden that there were no shaver points in their beautiful new male washroom.
She directed me instead to a single socket requiring an adaptor (which fortunately I had) in the laundrette/dish-washing room. This omission requires immediate attention!
Glad to hear that the top half of the steep approach road is to be improved, and at the same time that beach just below the site could do with some tidying-up.
Set at the foot of Ben Nevis in the midst of spectacular Highland scenery. Pitches with fantastic mountain views, for caravans, motorhomes and tents with EHU option, or choose a cosy camping pod or self catering lodge. Showers and toilets, dishwashing, small shop, WiFi, and children`s play park.

And afterwards relax in the onsite restaurant and bar! Find out more here
Just back from this site. It's our campsite nirvana and one that we shall compare every other site too.
Ok so the tent pitches aren't quite level. In fact some are quite steep slopes. The grass pitches aren't like bowling greens but this really means nothing.
The on site facilities are second to none. So much thought and effort must have gone into these not to mention financial outlay. The free showers are excellent ( I didn't want to get out ) they even thought of shower seats for less abled campers. And a squeegee mop to get rid of excess water. The hand basins are immaculate and both hand dryers and paper towels are available. Even a low level soap dispenser for the little ones.
In the pot wash area are two sinks, huge washer and dryer, 2 fridges and full size freezer. Again everything is immaculate.
2 bistro tables in the entrance are for campers use. Great for sending emails using the free wi fi. And did I mention how warm it all is.
The site looks out over isle Ristol and the rest of the summer isles. Magnificent sunsets are to be seen.
We were woken early every morning to the sound of cuckoos, lambs and cockerels, wonderful.
Just returned from a fabulous week's holiday on the North West Coast of Scotland. We stayed 3 nights at this fabulous site which is located in a superb spot with great views and fantastic sunsets.
The site seems mainly set up for motorhomes and caravans however there is ample space for tents. There is no reception as such, but as mentioned the owners have the pub opposite the site where you can go to book in.
There is a fantastic amenity block which has everything you could want and is absolutely spotlessly clean. The showers are free and are powerful and hot, if we had to make one minor criticism and this is really knit picking, the fridge is only one of those small fridges for chilling bottles of beer/lager and it would be more beneficial if there was a full size fridge especially for us in tents!
There is seating with a couple of tables in the amenity block which is a real bonus if it is cold outside as you can still enjoy a glass of wine in the warmth whilst watching the sun set.
The owners were very friendly and so were our fellow campers, especially Pat and George from Edinburgh who made our stay all the more pleasurable.
All this for 12 pound a night for the two of us, you couldn't wish for a nicer site. We will definitely be returning!
Just spent the last 5 days at this wonderful site, owners are extremely friendly and appear to keep a close watch on what is going on without being at all obtrusive.
This is a relatively new site and amenity block is kept spotless.
If visiting this site, a must is the cruise aboard the 'Isabella' which sails from Badentarbet Pier which is just along the road. If you are lucky you will come across a pod of dolphins, and Ian, the skipper, will make sure you are soon in among them.
Dolphins are also regularly seen swimming about in the bay directly in front of the site.
We stayed at this site for one night. Three Adults, one of whom was over 70.
Apart from improvement needed for the footpaths the overall site was excellent.
The hooks up all worked as did the facilities for water.
The toilet/shower etc block was very clean and warm!
We made use of the bar which was owned by the same people the food was very well priced, there was plenty of it and it was home cooked. Whay more could we ask for!
We would definitely go again and would recommend. Although this site is a drive from the Port for the Ferry it was definitely worth the journey.
The people who run the site were friendly and polite. Well done!
