 So remote and spectacularly beautiful. Only 24 pitches, some economy non-electric but majority with electric. We were parked just yards from waters edge.
No toilets or showers so you must be self-sufficient. Water must be boiled so come ready filled.
Excellent phone signal (O2) but no TV signal.
Approach roads are single track with lots of passing places but hardly any traffic anyway.
Only 8 units on site first night (Saturday) and just 4 on second night (Sunday), hope the site can stay viable.

Probably a bit of a marmite site.
As previously reviewed no toilets, showers or washing up. There is ehu on the hardstanding/grass also an area of grass with no ehu. No wifi on site
No moho service so you need a container if you want to fill water, likewise you will need something to dump from.
Opposite site is a great circular walk into hills to the site of a clearance village- great views and well marked.
We saw deer on the hill behind the site, wardens said they often come down closer late evening.
It's a fabulous site to just sit and enjoy the Loch and the peace.
Be aware gates close to unbooked arrivals at 6pm. If you are booked and arriving after 6pm let wardens know and they leave out your arrival pack.
Absolutely loved it and hope to go again as a destination rather than a transit.

Amazing campsite, just such stunning scenery.
There are very few facilities, no toilets or showers or anything really except toilet waste facilities and bins. This is no criticism whatsoever.
We have 2 young boys and they had a great time with just being outdoors and meeting the campsite dog and rangers who were lovely!
We had a great night stop and will definitely come back again!

Site on Loch Naver shore with great views. But very remote. Anywhere is a long drive down single track roads.
Site is in three parts. Open area by gates, more separated area behind reception and non ehu area.
The non ehu area has the best views and is level grass. Two water points, one next to a grey water and cdp up a fairly steep slope.
No Motorhome drive over. Water is private treatment and needs boiling but ok for tea/coffee but bring bottled for drinking. No toilet or shower. We had 8 nights.
Spent time chilling and visited Durness beaches/Smoo cave (a long day driving), Bettyhill - shop cafe (recommended), Farr beach and closed museum- gift shop and cafe are open, cafe sell dog ice cream.
Strathnaver trail Rossal village and stone circle (you drive down the rough track after right turn at the bridge!) and Grunmore village behind the site. Walk up the hill to the right to get better views.
Walked along River Kinloch to Loch an Dherue at Tongue which was fabulous in the sun. Book a simple dinner around a shared table with guests or just stop for a drink at Crask Inn. Shop cafe and petrol at Lairg and Bettyhill. Fish and chips in Lairg.
Great place to chill but basic. Sheep and deer everywhere.

If this site is full and you're under 7 metres long you're likely to be allocated one of the worst pitches I've seen in 5 years of using camc sites.
The pitch was on uneven elevated ground next to a road used by logging trucks and other trade vehicles from 6 am through to 6 pm.
We had difficulty working out how to park level on this pitch and the wardens were far from helpful.
There were plenty of parkups in the immediate area around the site that looked better if you're not after electric hookup.

One of our favourite sites on our Scotland tour!
Very remote - 30+ miles to the nearest shops and accessed by good single track roads.
It’s based right on Loch Naver and makes a good base for the most northerly Munro walks.
Amazing place.

This is probably the most peaceful, remote and relaxing site I have ever stayed. The couple who run the site are so incredibly helpful and friendly, yet unobtrusive.
Kay and Steve seemed like family after just a very short time and I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy their company in such a beautiful setting.
This site is immaculate; very well presented, yet it retains its wilderness feel. The ancient and enticing settlement of Grummore opposite is well worth a visit - but please keep your dogs on leads as there are sheep around.
I shall return here very soon as I found it to be a superb place to unwind and enjoy mother nature at her best.
Thank you Kay and Steve xx

Not at all what we expected - so much better.
For whatever reason we though a regular set out on a loch side. It is actually three distinct areas. First is a hardstanding area a bit car-park like, all with electric hook up and most have a good view of Loch Naver. Then there is a smaller area on softer ground with just 6 pitches, again with hook ups and again brilliant views of the loch, the third area is all on grass and doesn't have any electric.
No loos or showers and although there is fresh water the advice was to boil or buy bottled water from the reception. There isnt any wifi on site and we couldn't get phone signals on either of our phones.
From the site a lovely walk up the hills to an old village or just walk along the roads as there is hardly any traffic. We walked early in the evening and saw two lots of deers both less than 20 ft away from the road.
We drove down to the site from the North using the A897 - a stunning drive with plenty of long passing places.
Would take everything you need with you as its a fair drive to the nearest shops (Lairgs must be nearly an hour).
Stunning site with two of the best wardens ever - might not have any facilities but this site really is about location.

Wonderful, remote setting next to Loch Naver. Good base for those wanting to climb Ben Hope, Ben Klibreck and even Ben Loyal.
For anyone wanting to use the Altnaharra Hotel -check to see if they are doing bar meals (some days they don't)if that's what you want or book a table in the restaurant (recommended).

We knew this site was remote and that was part of the experience for us, it sits right beside Loch Naver. With only water, drain and Elsan points (no toilets, showers etc. ) it is minimalist but has its own charm.
The site is reached by single track road with passing places, going to the shops in Lairg was a 40 minute drive and the novelty wore off quickly. The water supply is local and was brackish coloured, we were advised to boil it before drinking it.
Small shop on site selling essentials. We loved the experience, not too many midges in May but we were told it was worse in the summer. Lots of local walks and you can bike ride on the road OK as traffic infrequent.
No wifi and mobile signal was 2G and patchy so no internet. Wardens on site very helpful. Needed to use satellite for TV as could not pick up signal.
