Lovely site - all hard standing - be prepared for

We used this site as part of our Scotland road trip. Easy to access, beautifully laid out, clean and tidy, all hard standing. Helpful wardens, well maintained site. Beautiful location.The only downside for us (early august visit) was the number of midges, we weren't well enough prepared for them! It muted our stay a little - ensure you take some Smidge! The locks on the toilet doors weren't an issue for us, but I can't see the need for them on a site in a quiet village.

Lovely quiet site

We are not really the type of people who use the Club sites as we like 5 van sites, However, this site is lovely. It is quiet and not too busy with large spacious pitches. It is spotlessly clean and the wardens are extremely helpful. Lovely hot showers. We understand they will also have Wi-Fi by the end of the month. A little hut with information leaflets in it, a petrol station next door with a little café and a hotel in the village also serving meals. Compared to the price of some pitches in Scotland it is reasonably priced. We would have no hesitation in using the site again.

A quiet piece of Heaven

If it is peace and quiet you want then this is the place. All you hear is birdsong. the midges are a problem first thing in the mornings but by 9.30 they had gone. It is a walkers paradise. You can walk for miles from the site. the views are spectacular. The scenery is the best in the world. Plenty of paces to visit. Gareloch is well worth the drive past the loch.

Wedding route

We stopped here, on our Gretna Green wedding route. Lovely place, clean, friendly and scenic. 4 days here, great access to all the Highlands have to offer. We done a 300 mile tour from here to Durness and back, lovely days out.

Great site spoiled by obsessive security

We arrived on site after a long journey around 3.30pm to find the office shut and wished to use the toilets which were locked (both yale outer and keypad inner door) and had to go behind bushes - both embarrassing and unecessary. We were not the only guests arrving who had to do this! When we got checked in the warden said that the key system does cause problems. Kinlochleven is hardly a high crime area and we discovered later that there are public toilets in the village so why is this site different from all the others we have used in Scotland.

Good site just a couple of shortcomings.

Stayed here for 6 nights early in May. We've stayed here on three earlier occasions and there are general improvements, particularly to the groundworks which are now more level and seemingly well-bedded down. However a couple of niggles - hardly any HOTwater in the sinks in the ashrooms, although showers OK. Although clearly advertised in the site leaflet and the club directory/handbook, there was no information room on site. It appears that the last one was blown down in earlier storms and the wardens are frustratingly still awaiting a replacement even though we're into May/June. Why, again, was there no Visitor Comments book available - have the Club withdrawn the facility at all sites? Comments on local attractions, praise, shortcomings and suggestions are usually appreciated and not everyone carries a laptop on holiday to see reviews.

Hillwalkers' paradise

All CMC wardens are good, but these could be the best - totally welcoming, friendly and helpful, not to mention the smart appearance of the site. The site is beutifully laid out in multi van bays with large hardstandings. Terrific views to Ben Eighe and surrounding hills. Being next door to the Ben Eighe nature reserve ( a vast area) walkers of all abilities are spoiled for choice. Two nice eateries nearby and a super garage/shop/cafe. Our next visit will be a little longer.

This must be one of the best

If you're into mountain walking, magnificent scenery or a great driving experience this is a perfect base. The drive through Applecross and Glen Torridon (without the caravan) is possibly the finest in Britain. The site is an absolute gem. The wardens are friendly and very knowledgeable about the local area (and beyond). There is no WiFi on site but there is television reception for the main channels, BBC and ITV via booster cable. There was mobile reception for at least EE, can't speak for others. The village has the basics but then you don't come here for supermarkets! There is also a garage and two cafes. The Wistle Stop cafe serves really good food. We had an evening meal there and thoroughly enjoyed it. You can take your own wine; they charge £1.00 for corkage and glasses, I have to say, it was worth it, the food deserved the wine!

A gem of a site

We booked Kinlochewe because the roads to it are good for towing (A832) and we wanted to use it as a base for exploring the area. However, we ended up spending quite a bit of time doing great walks in the Ben Eighe nature reserve which is right next door. The site is lovely, small and friendly and the staff are really friendly. The layout is good too, we had a spacious pitch with stunning views. The petrol station right next to the entrance has a lovely little cafe in it which serves great coffee and provides free wifi, we started most days in there. It is really peaceful and relaxing, there are birds everywhere and it's just fabulous. On our last night another caravanner got out his bagpipes and played them for 15 minutes. The sound echoed round the mountains, it was magical.
