Pros: the best view in Britain, cons: commercial site adjacent

We have visited perhaps 100 CLs over the years and without doubt this has the most amazing view of all. As a result we have returned to this CL more than any other. We live in Wales and it is a two day drive to get here. But its worth you. You pitch on the edge of the field where it banks down to the beach about 2 metres below. The beach loops round to form an almost circular bay about 500 metres across. The sand is almost white in places. The bay is dotted with islands. The tidal range is large so that some islands are completely submerged. Others remain permanently above the water and in spring there are a few nesting sea birds: we came across a pair of oyster catchers one year, a pair of terns another. The changes caused by the tide means the immediate view is always different – look away for 10 minutes and you’ll see the difference. Beyond the bay you are looking out to sea and the Sound of Sleat which separates the mainland from the islands. To the north is Skye. On a clear day you can see the Cullins. To the west you can see from your caravan the islands of Rhum and the northern part of Eigg. The view is awesome. It is enhanced by poor weather as you watch the squalls blowing across this extensive seascape. There is nothing like it anywhere. The beach is great for the kids. We bought a small kayak and spend hours just pottering around the small bay. It’s a basic CL: just a field with a tap. Chemical point is in the woods. You don’t get midges on the CL but you do get them in the woods at times. There’s a commercial site adjoining the CL. It’s a scruffy site. We generally go to the CL during school term time when there are few people in the commercial site. The beach is open to everyone. But outside of the school holidays we often have the section in front of the CL to ourselves. It is perhaps the most expensive non-electric CL on the network. You are paying for the view. Worth every penny. We only wish we lived nearer.
