Why stay here ...

Peaceful and intimate, Kinlochewe Club Site is set at the foot of the rugged slopes of Beinn Eighe, at the end of a beautiful drive along Glen Docherty from Achnasheen. The caravan park is a magical oasis where the world slows down to walking pace and you with it - glittering lochs, lush woodland and mountains provide a paradise for both climbers and walkers alike.

Kinlochewe Club Site also offers convenient facilities to ensure your holiday is trouble-free. Pitches are all made of sturdy stone hardstandings. There is a licensed shop, small cafe, hotel and petrol station in the local village to cater to your immediate needs. The Scottish Natural Heritage Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve is just 0.75m away from the caravan site, giving you and your family an opportunity to spot golden eagles and deer by the beautiful Lochside at dusk. For an unforgettable drive, take the A896 down Glen Torridon and through to Applecross: the views across to Skye are truly superb.

Third Vist

Third visit to this site over the last few years. This year blessed with cool but good weather, lovely to wake up to sunshine with snow on the tops. Clean tidy site with good wardens. Do wish the club would do away with the key pad access to showers, they are in a dark area between two doors, the numbers you can't see as the blacking on them had worn off, I could just about see them with my specs on, but must be difficult for some! Can recommend "The Gorse Bush" formerly the Whistle Stop Cafe. The food is excellent open 10-6 Wed to Sunday. Sunday lunch is amazing but need to book. Rupert the owner chef is much travelled well trained chef and deserves to do well in his new venture. The garage is also a cafe and sells supplies. Lovely area plenty to see.

Nice site

Kinlockewe is a peaceful site set in Kinlockewe village. Pitches large and are on hard standing. The amenities block is central and clean / tidy. The site managers were very pleasant and helpful.

A Gem in the NW Highlands

This was uncharted territory even for a Scot until an extended Easter break meant 3 nights at Kinlochewe. The scenery en route and then the backdrop of Beinn Eighe and Slioch at the site itself is awesome. Recommend the Mountain Trail from the Beinn Eighe NNR car park (approx 2 miles West of site) and a walk along the North side of Loch Maree via Incheril (approx 0.5 miles East of site). For the less adventurous there are sufficient level trails accessible immediately from the site. Plenty facilities locally including shop(s) and the Kinlochewe Hotel's public bar welcoming and offering a good variety of ales and food. Wardens very welcoming and approachable too. All in all 5/5 and we're looking to return.

Superb site

We stayed at Kinlochewe in October 2018 until it’s closure for the winter months. Sitting in the shadow of Bienn Eighe, the site is peaceful and kept to a very high standard. A trip to Applecross is worth considering, with luck you may get views across to Skye. You can travel the scenic coastal route or if brave, take Bealach an ba ( pass of the cattle) over the mountains. LUnch at Applecross Inn is a treat with home cooked food. Also a trip to Gairlock is worth considering, the farm and garden store has something for almost everyone and lunch at the Old Inn at Gairlock is a must.

Tip top

Kinlochewe - a superb site in every regard. But let’s start with the wardens. This is their first season here and they must be two of the most active and personable wardens on the network. Sue manages the reception process with consummate charm and ease; Andrew always has time to advise, help and chat, adding significantly to the feeling of inclusion. Many other reviews here deal with the site itself, but here are a few tips. The site: the toilet block is modest in size, but adequate for the site, clean, well maintained and heated. Adjacent to the laundry room (which is the wifi hotspot) is a very convenient drying room for walking clothes. Should you watch TV, take a coaxial cable to connect to the bollard. Shopping: Alan drives Kenneth Morrison’s butchers van to the site each Tuesday and Friday. This is a walk-in van from which you can get a variety of provisions, including vegetables. Their meat is first class - your receipt will reveal full details of the animal, its rearing, slaughter and butchering (you can pre-order on 01445 712485). During our visit Allan’s van had broken down, so we drove the 20 miles to Gairloch along Loch Maree to their shop. Save for the picturesque final section which is single lane, the road is effortless and well maintained. Call in to be served by Ann at Kenneth Morrison Ltd (IV21 2BZ); but do not neglect the Farm and Garden Store (IV21 2BH) which retails the best fish pie we have tasted. Allow 30 minutes each way. Back at the site, no trip to Kinlochewe is complete without a visit to Lis’ Whistle Stop Cafe, a superb place for breakfast, lunch and early evening meals (last orders 1630 hrs). A question hangs as Lis is retiring on 01.12.18, but hopefully a new owner will come forward to maintain her very high standards. Walks from the site: start with the gentle walk to Beinn Eighe Visitors Centre - along the neat, level path through the nature reserve. For more options, buy a Yellow Walk map from reception.
