And it’s right at the start/finish of the Bealach na Bá pass. The receptionist was welcoming and the main building with its cafe looked really good (we were only staying the night so didn’t get a chance to use it). And we were grateful for their understanding when we called ahead to say we might be late arriving. Cons: The site is spread across two fields. If you are put in the second field, you are a considerable hike away from dish washing/laundry facilities as these are adjacent to the reception building. For those in the second field, you have one facilities block consisting of six ‘wet rooms’. This isn’t enough for the number of people the site can accommodate, and as showers and toilets are combined in the same units, the loos are unavailable for longer periods of time than if they were separated. The grass had recently been mown - the site looked great - but the cut grass hadn’t been collected. This meant grass got everywhere, including the wet rooms which ended up looking a bit like rugby changing rooms. If we were there for more than one night, these factors would quickly start to affect the enjoyment of our stay, especially at the height of the season. · via Google [Stacey Blackall](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114990831360006391527/reviews) ★★★★★ Lovely campsite, very clean and tidy.

Very friendly welcome on arrival. When I arrived, I had a puncture on my motorbike. Jan ,the manager, took the bike into his workshop and repaired and pumped up the tyre. A fantastic act of kindness. Thoroughly recommend this campsite to anyone staying at Applecross. Thanks Jan👍🏍 · via Google [Robert McCulloch](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103094311271712676577/reviews) ★★★★★ Stayed for a weekend in our motorhome. Lovely site, nice new toilet block. Beautiful red deer mosey around the outskirts in the evening. Nice meals in the Applecross Inn although the tourist prices are quite staggering. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x488e81eb461a5543:0xd30ae9d4171d3ef6!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this campsite offers stunning views, a peaceful atmosphere, and a variety of pitches, including pods and hard-standing options with electric hookups.
