Grumpyman Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Hi All, we will be going to Scotland in a couple of weeks and going across to Ardnamurchan for a few days. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for campsites in the area. Thanks in anticipation. Grumpyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve928 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Very thin on the ground I'm afraid; I only know of the CS at Lochshiel, which is nice enough. The pictures show it as a waterside location but be aware that the water only arrives near the very top of the tide. What was a very popular touring site at Resipole in a lovely location has closed to tourers as they now only have lodges and statics, sorry park homes.

Solwaybuggier Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 There is Ardnamurchan campsite at Kilchoan - recent reviews on Google Maps, so still going. I seem to remember an article by Andy Stothert in MMM many years ago suggesting it is better suited to smaller vans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 There are two campsites in the Ardnamurchan area. Links to them below https://ardnamurchancampsite.com/ https://ardnamurchancamping.co.uk/ (I stayed on the campsite at Resipole in the late 1970s for a couple of nights. We (my future-wife and I) were touring Scotland with a small car and tent and I remember how basic the campsite was back then, while my wife vividly recalls being eaten half to death by midges at night.)

Grumpyman Posted May 15 Author Share Posted May 15 Thanks for your replies. We did stay at Resipole many years ago. If needs be, will have to be self sufficient although we don't really like wild camping. Grumpyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdf Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 There is a small but I think adequate (that means clean toilets and electricity if needed) campsite at Strontian - Sunart Campsite, Strontian, Acharacle PH36 4HZ. Not the easiest to find as it seems to be at the 'back' of the village through a small housing estate. I'd suggest a quick look at Google Maps and street view before getting there. It has the advantage of not requiring the slow, narrow drive out to the lighthouse except on the day you want to go there. Hope of help Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solwaybuggier Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Just left Strontian site yesterday after a couple of days. It’s fine , and very friendly. It’s actually quite well signposted. After a week on Mull the luxury of being able to walk to the very good village shop 200 yards away should not be underestimated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
