Peaceful and glorious scenery

We had a lovely 2 night midweek stay here in August. The site was very peaceful perhaps because it was midweek. Yes, it is really just a gravel site but sort of felt ok to us as we had a fab pitch looking at the Torridon mountains. The midges weren't too bad as it was unusually hot with a breeze but as someone else said, if you hate midges, don't go, or expect to be in your van come early evening! Will definitely be back.

Fantastic week at Kinlochewe

We have just had the most magical week at Kinlochewe. The location is great with views to die for. Totally peaceful. Wifi is practically non existent (husband didn't manage to get wifi even after paying on the club wifi) and only 5 tv channels but it all adds to the peace. The facilities are very modern, looks like the amenity block has had a recent refurbishment and spotless clean. The borders between the pitch areas are very untidy and need a gardener in there to tidy them up. The ground is solid so take good strong awning/tent pegs, oh and lots of midge spray and a midge net. You won't be disappointed. We are definitely coming back.

Pleasant Site

Nice site close to lots of walks both gentle and more strenuous hill walks and climbing. Village store and petrol station close by offering a fairly good selection of provisions and take-away foods. Stayed five nights in August and yes the midgies were biting but they can be dealt with and should be embraced as part and parcel of this wonderful country. If they are an issue then don't come. The two wardens were friendly and dealt with everything expeditiously and, as for the complaints that they are not available from 1 to 5 what is wrong with self check-in. If it works for airlines and hotels what is the issue or are some people expecting 24 hour room service!. The site is mainly gravel which is probably just as well with an average of 1800mm rain per year. My only criticism would be of some of my fellow campers ignoring the rules about mask wearing in enclosed spaces and dog owners allowing fouling on some of the well maintained footpaths through the woods.

kinlochewe site august 2021

strange site , you turn up ,no wardens , leave your club cards in their post box and find a space and park. return to office after 5 pm and inform wardens which pitch you are on . it is like a lorry pitch , all hard core stones and never saw any grass. wasnt too untidy although shrubs were back to nature ,ie full of weeds etc. toilets were all clean enough but the shower electric button controls pure annoying , needing pressed every 9 seconds... friendly enough wardens and i found it a pleasant 4 nights.stay . Expect midges and you wont be disappointed .nothing puts them off either ,not sun ,not strong breezes, not rain , nothing ....you will be bitten , trust me. .Dragging a caravan to here from Morvich site is not for nervous folk either , roads like rollercoasters , narrow tracks with passing places , everyone in a hurry and impatient. But theres 3 lovely walks up into the hills just off the site , through a Nature Reserve , good for dogs and mountain bikers..shops nearby can give you milk , cakes etc Would not recommend this site for tent campers unless the tent was super mozzie proof. . Inverewe Gardens was great if your into gardening and not too far away .Gairloch was close too but i found it disappointing , busy and with a horrible beach .Its a bit of a drive to get to Kinlochewe but it was on my bucket list so now its done . i do not think i would travel so far north again , theres nicer places further down into the Cairngorms. .Not very child friendly either ,although saw a group of kids making their own fun charging around the site for hours playing chasey , all scratching furiously. summarise , great site for some , but not for me , i do not think i would return .

Nice site but with a few issues

Strange to find a site unmanned from 1-5pm when most folk are arriving. No one way system so awkward with a caravan to drive around and find a pitch with the circle system but we arrived relatively early and were happy with our pitch and lovely view of the hills. There is a lot of gravel everywhere but this didn’t really bother us. Noisiest site we’ve ever stayed though with much socialising going on well after 10pm, occasional dog mess around the place and toilets left in a dreadful state by users by the morning. The showers were nice and hot and it was good to see a drying room open at long last.

Disappointing

We spent 3 nights here and we were a little disappointed with this site. The whole site is hard-core with minimal grass areas. We felt the toilet, shower, laundry and dishwashing facilities were inadequate for the size of the site; eg. one toilet block for the whole site which shut from 10:30am-12noon for cleaning. There was a positive of having a lovely little village store about a 2 minute walk from the site entrance. With having 3 children we felt the site could have done with some space for them to play, as there was no where on site for them to go. We probably wouldn't return.

Rubbish

This is by far the worst club site I have visited. Completely unmanned 1pm-5pm when most arrivals are due. A leaflet directs you to find your own pitch and speak to the site staff if you have any questions - difficult to do this with no staff around and no mobile phone number provided! Site is a glorified lorry park with loose gravel and zero landscaping or greenery in sight. When I did find an actual human to speak to I enquired why the site was unmanned four hours every afternoon - the response I got was, "I deserve a lunch break." Indeed you do. And we all deserve better service than this. I will not be returning.

Excellent site

Really pleased with this site. Excellent facilities and great location. Yes, the site is mostly hardcore but it is landscaped well and it makes it safe for pitching in poor weather. Check in was efficient rather than welcoming. The Stag Restaurant, 5 minutes walk from the site, is highly recommended. Only gripe: toilets are closed for cleaning between 10.30am-12noon, when most people will be leaving for long journeys. Seems very strange timing (given there are no alternative toilets). Why not 12.00noon - 1.30pm? Other than this minor quibble, great site.

Disappointing

Right on the NC500 route so good location ok for a short stop over However.... Pictures on website rather misleading as there is not a lot of greener on the site. It’s like pitching in a stone quarry. Female warden couldn’t have been more helpful but male warden must have been having a bad day! Shower block needs a major upgrade. Not up to the standard we are familiar with from the CMC
