Lovely Site

Beautiful site with glorious views across Lake Eriboll. Cafe was closed which was a shame but fully understood with Covid. Only used the electric hook up as we had water on board and didn't need to empty. Will definitely use this site again in the future

Wouldn’t stay here again

Mr Smith refused to open the toilet/shower facilities because it would take too much time to clean them due to Covid. Mr Smith was happy to take my money with no mention about the closed facilities. I only found out when I went to use them and they were locked! No signage so I had to seek him out to ask. Had I known in advance about the facilities being closed I would never have booked in the first place. We do not have facilities in our VW campervan. Mr Smith is also using the space around his house for other campers to park therefore this is not a site for just 5 vans. There were at least 11 on site with a gate providing separation for those of us on the CL side of the fence. Nowhere to place our rubbish so had to take it with us. CAMC seriously need to revisit the use of this site. There’s potential to affects its reputation and that of other CL sites. I’ve certainly learned a lesson which is unlikely to be repeated.

Comment from the Club:

Thank you for your review. The shared facilities were closed due to Covid restrictions on the site and we are very sorry for any inconvenience caused. We will make sure this is clearer on the site listing on our website to avoid any further misunderstandings in the future. Please be assured the owners do provide bins on their site so we are sorry you were unable to locate these. Our CL Advisors do visit our sites to check they are of the standard our members deserve and they will be visiting this site again in the near future. We are really sorry you were disappointed with your stay and hope you continue to enjoy our CL network in the future.

A true gem

We stayed here in April this year for a few days and loved it. The owner was very friendly and very helpful and even baked fresh cakes everyday for his cafe! Wildlife amazing with a secluded walkway through trees planted by the owner years ago down to the lakeside. Lots of birds. Lots of red deer all round us. Heavenly spot.

Perfect for nature lovers

We stayed 1 night whilst travelling in our motor home on the NC500. Mr Smith welcomed us and ensured we were ok in our pitch. The site is a little sloping but the views over the loch are stunning, patience will pay if you want to see wildlife. There is a short walk down to the loch through a woodland. We didn’t use the wc on site. The site is basic and you will probably not like it if your prefer the regimen of club sites, we loved staying here, it was relaxing and offered everything we needed, water in, water out, black waste disposal and EHU. Mr Smith has lived in his house over 45 years and has a wealth of local knowledge. He also runs a small tea room next to the site.

loved this cl

only our second time on a caravan club site even if this is only a cl. We telephoned ahead to book but as this is the north west coast of scotland phone signal can be sketchy at times, so arrived anyway and were warmly welcomed by the owner. we were given the choice of the 2 remaining pitches all of which are hardstanding so no access problems. The site is on the banks of the loch and has stunning views of the landscape all around, there is a cafe on site which is a handy bonus if you do not wish to cook. the only issue we found was the ladies loo had no toilet roll in, soon remedied by borrowing some from the mens loo, as mentioned before the loo's could do with a spruce up but i've certainly seen and used worse on my travels. Overall I would recomend a visit here as the scenery and tranquility far out weigh the slighty tired loos. As to no tv signal, who wants to watch tv when the views are this spectacular.

Lovely CL

Second time here and we love it , the views are lovely , the owner is really friendly, knowledgable and chatty. Toilets were fine during our stay , location really good , and if the roads are narrow and winding so what -- who wants to drive fast thru that scenery, thoroughly recommend this CL

Stunning Views

Stayed here for a couple of nights while doing the NC 500. This CL has fantastic views overlooking Loch Eriboll (A two masted sailing ship was anchored during our stay which enhanced the already great views). Well spaced hard standing pitches, the usuall facilities plus a cafe'. Would most certainly visit this cl again. The owner was chatty and helpful.

Tranquility

We had a two night break here recently. We had chosen it specifically for the scenic and quiet location. We knew the owner might not be there at our arrival but he had given us good instructions just in case. The five pitches are shale, rather than pea gravel. One pitch appeared too far from ehu, even with two cables connected. We were a little disappointed with toilet facilities, which were a little tired and could do with sprucing up. It was the weekend before Easter and so the tearoom wasn't open yet, which may have impacted on the lack of hot water and general grubiness of the toilets. The owner was friendly and knowledgeable of the area. The views are spectacular. The first night, we had a visit from some deer, who grazed right next to our van. The second night,the wind blew a proper Highland hooley, which was pretty scary. The Loch side is easily reached and well worth a loch side walk. A lovely area to visit, if you enjoy peace and tranquility.

Great stop over

Arrived on wet and windy afternoon.  Weather generally awful while we were there which definitely affected our opinion.  Fabulous views with all of the basic amenities you should expect from a CL plus a Tea Shop on site BUT roads to and from very narrow and slow so not inviting to return from days out.  Walk from site to loch good but not easy underfoot for stretches along loch.  Plan to stop on way to and from Durness - you wont be disappointed
