Inverewe Camping and Caravanning Clubsite

Nice and clean and friendly, helpful staff.....but Show more

Nice and clean and friendly, helpful staff.....but very busy and noisy. We were allocated a pitch next to the toilet block and the doors of the toilet block close with a loud bang every time someone goes in and out. If you were in a caravan or motorhome you might not have noticed the noise, but in a tent it kept us awake late into the night. We moved on after one night to somewhere quieter. We were camping with two dogs and there are many many dogs at this site. If you have dogs which are not used to seeing so many other dogs then ask for a pitch at the far end where everyone and his dog will not be walking past. Expensive for non-members (£20 for 2 adults and small tent). Nowhere convenient to wash baby (porcelain basins too cold and no counter top to lay her down on!). There is a small strip of shingle at low tide but not really many places around the site/ village to walk dogs and let them off the lead. Probably a great place for motorhomes but wouldn't recommend it for campers. Not our style!

We spent 6 days there, late August/early September Show more

We spent 6 days there, late August/early September 2005 in our campervan. This small quiet site is immaculate with nice well spaced pitches, very well kept (almost manicured) grass and a fantastic view of the sea-loch which is about 20 yards away across the road.Toilets, showers etc were very clean and well maintained. C&CC staff were lovely helpful folk and worked hard from morning to night, but still had time for some friendly banter. PO/Store in village is ok for basic supplies (closed Sunday) a butcher's van calls twice a week and has a very good range of meat, fish and fruit ( you can phone special orders). Plenty of scope for walking or cycling in the area or you can simply sit on one of the loch-side seats and contemplate the ocean or watch a sunset.Sat one evening listening to a piper playing somewhere in the village across the bay - it was a magical moment. NTS garden at Inverewe is about a 15 minute walk away and worth a visit. Been there, done it, got the T-shirt. We'll be back!

We have just come back from camping in the Show more

We have just come back from camping in the Highlands not having camped at all for several years. The site at Inverewe is a little gem which judging by the fact that there are no reviews on this site is perhaps undiscovered by campers. The site is small but is immaculately kept. We were most impressed by the cleanliness of everything. The toilets were gleaming and the showers exceptionally good for a camp site situation, plenty of hot water and as long as you wanted for free something you don't always get when camping. The staff were friendly and helpful and seemed to be constantly tending to something on site, i.e. when we were there they were cutting the grass and seemed to be always emptying the bins. There is a laundry which has everything you require, washing machine, drier and iron a great boon if you are away for more than a couple of days! It was slightly regimented in as much we were shown to the pitch which was designated for our tent and instructed exactly where to place it. We only have two small criticisms we would have is that there is not a shop on the site, there is one in the village, but if that is closed there is nowhere nearby to buy essentials, the nearest place being Gairloch which is six miles down the road. The other small criticism is that this was the most expensive site we stayed on but that is because we were not members of the Caravan Club so it cost us an extra ?5. Other than that we had a great time and if you want to eat out we would highly recommend the Poolewe Hotel. This is about ten minutes from the site and serves a really good menu at very reasonable prices in extremely pleasant surroundings. All in all one not to miss!
