 It is so difficult to find a site in high season so we made a note of this site. We arrived at 3, there were several vacancies but it filled up by 6.
Facilities extremely clean, you have to pay 50p for the shower but well worth it to get a nice hot shower.
Lovely location, we visited the castle, had a good meal in the local pub and were then well placed for moving on to Skye.

This is my 2nd review of this site. We have stayed here now a total of 3 times on 3 separate occasions. Quite honestly it is my favourite site.
It’s like wild camping really but with facilities. Very laid back with astonishing views!
Also the wee bakery 2 mins walk from the site is the icing on the cake pure bliss!
Love it here and would stay here every weekend if it didn’t take 9 hours to drive :)

This is a brilliant little site and I'm sorry I haven't submitted my review before now and apologise to the owners for my oversite.
I believe we were the last people to stay on site in 2019 and but for the covid outbreak would have been back.
The location is to die for with fantastic views to Eilean Donan castle and the mountains beyond as well as Skye in the distance.
A great place to base yourself for touring and highly recommended

After reading the reviews we decided to try this campsite out and we were not disappointed. (I phoned to make sure you could just turn up as the last review was last year) and as others have said you do just turn up and take a pitch which all overlook loch alsh and also have a view of eilean donan castle, ( it's just over the bridge) The woman comes round in the evening to take your money, it's £15 a night for a tourer not sure if a tent would be the same or cheaper. The electric is now £2 coins and ours lasted 24hrs. The toilets and showers were spotless, there was also a cool box with biscuits etc to buy if you wanted them. Over the road is pizzajo which was worth going to, we also went to the baker next door and the bread was lovely if a little expensive, £3. 20 for a small loaf. The site is great for exploring the area i. E. Applecross, plockton, glen elg, the isle of skye etc. If we're back in the area we will definitely be back at this site. Also if you were doing the NC500 it would be worth doing a wee detour and staying here for a few nights.

Ok pretty much the weirdest site I have ever stayed on! I’ve visited a whole array of sites over the last 30 years. We visited Eilean Donan castle and didn’t intend to stay I the area but we got soaking wet and freezing and really just wanted to settle somewhere. This site didn’t appear on a google search but happened upon it by accident. There is no reception no name of the site (we didn’t even know where we were) just a field with hard standings running round the outside and a note saying park up and someone will collect money later. We noted it had electric for a £1 but no idea who long you got for that. 10mins? A day? Who knew? We felt a little uneasy that someone would turn up later and ask for a unknown amount of money as it didn’t say on the sign how much. Anyway as we were wet and tired we thought what the rock and settled down. Noticed straight away that the leccy only took old £1 and at this period of time we are in the process of swapping over and hardly any left. However I managed to find a couple and popped them in and hoped they would last. Later that night a lady arrived and asked for £14. 50 and asked if we needed any more £1s on old coins. I said I’ve put 2 in and she assured us that would last 24 hours. Bargain!
So after worrying this ended up being one of our favourite stop overs. Cheapest site on all our holiday with amazing views of the Loch. Near Eilean Donn castle. Super quiet and clean facilities.
Perfect really but to the owners do pop a little more info on sign on the entrance. It’s wouldbe nice to know the name of the site and how much it is per night as well some info on power.
Other than that lovely and simple little site. Oh their is a bakery right across the road. I highly recommend this!

This is a great site, literally 10 minutes walk from Eilean Donan castle, far enough from the road there is no traffic noise and pitches overlooking the loch.
There is a mixture of gravel hardstanding and grass pitches. The hard-standing have ehu bollard, you pay with 2 x £1 coins for 24 hours. As other have said loos and showers very clean, old barn type buildings but don't let that put you off, the loos at the loch end have been tiled etc and are immaculate.
The owners come around in the evening and collect your money £14. 50 per night for 2 adults - we thought very reasonable around this area. We were surprised such a good site wasn't busier - possibly its because the sign says come in, find a pitch and we will be around later to collect your money but it doesn't say how much. Have to say we were slightly put off not knowing the price but luckily the owners were passing when we arrived.
If we had a feedback for the owners it would be show your price in big numbers on the gate!
If you are visiting Eilean Donan then really would recommend this site for at least a night, if not more. Pitch up and take the stroll back over the bridge and also a wander into Dornie village.
And as others have said, the bakery just a few yards from the site sells terrific bread and bakes, worth visiting to see the wooden shacks they also build.

A wee gem of a site sitting on the lochside. If you like quiet this is the site for you. Good base for visiting the area, also over night stays before visiting Skye. Toilets and showers basic but clean. We will certainly return when we are in the area again.

Just returned from a very happy stay at Ardelve. We camped for 3 nights. It's a very well kept little site with camping field and hard-standing and hook-ups lower down. Recently refurbed toilet and shower block was perfectly adequate and always very clean, despite some wet weather. 50p for a long shower. We just rolled up and pitched and the owners popped round in the evening to collect the £14 per night fees. There seemed to be a mix of through traffic heading for Skye and some longer stayers, like ourselves. A very quiet and scenic spot, very convenient for Kyle of Lochalsh, Lochcarron, Skye, but also hidden gems close by - the local mountains, roads, lochs and valleys are extremely quiet, but well worth exploring for some genuine peace and off-tourist-trail experiences. Eilean Donan Castle is a 5 minute walk away and is a tourist hot-spot with cafe, but also very nice to visit in the evening after it closes, when the light and the views are superb. The village of Dornie - 10 mins walk - has a small shop, a very lively, friendly pub serving food and the Dornie Hotel where we had 2 very good meals (the hotel maybe looks a little tired inside, but the menu is varied and food was unexpectedly excellent). Also worth a look are the campsite's static caravans - we finished our stay with 3 nights in one which was very clean, modern and well equipped. The site owners were friendly and helpful throughout. Don't miss the local fresh-baked bread shop too - amazing bread baked fresh on site, 2 mins from the camp site!

Lovely little site overlooking Eilean Donan Castle and right beside Loch Alsh. Easy walk to castle and pretty village of Dornie. Owner collects fees each day. We didn't use facilities so can't comment on these but lovely quiet stay.

A great wee campsite, we were free to chose a spot that suited us. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Facilities were clean and well maintained. Showers cost 10p per 2 minutes. About a 1 minute walk to the local Spar.
