Red Squirrel Campsite

We stayed in May and had a fantastic stay! You cannot fault the campsite - excellent facilities, lovely staff, and beautiful surroundings. We arrived on a Tuesday afternoon so we had lots spaces to choose from. It was a bit busier towards the weekend but everyone had a good amount of space. The showers & toilets are very good and well maintained, and the additions of a drying room & fridge/freezer were particularly helpful, especially in the rain! The staff were lovely- we accidentally left our boots in the drying room and only realised when we were halfway home - they organised posting to us which was so very kind. This site is very well cared for and the surroundings are impressive. Highly recommend!

A very scenic campsite, in a good location. Walking distance to a great pub and a good walking trail from the site. We appreciated the rules about noise and on our first night this was truly observed. It was utterly tranquil long before the noise cut off of 11pm. On the second night however it was ruined with the arrival of a school party just before 9pm. They were crammed into a section which was more like a roundabout and completely on top of some guests in tents. They were pretty noisy setting up and there were groups of teenagers roaming around backwards and forwards to the loos which we happened to be close to- but because it was still not 11pm I didn’t feel I could message the wardens. For this reason, I don’t think we’ll return sadly as it completely ruined the tranquility. As well as the groups wandering around, we had to put up with the movement of their 2 mjnibuses and the unloading of their trailers well after 9pm. For such a peaceful campsite this was disruptive. There was another scout group or similar in a separate area and to be fair they were silent. We were there bank holiday weekend (May 22/23) The campsite was full as it was - the arrival of the additional school group (two minibuses, a trailer of their camping gear and a trailer of kayaks) totally ruined the peace and stretched the facilities.

Awesome location on the riverside, with an easy walk to the banks and a 30 minute (ish) walk to Hagrids hut viewpoint. The staff were really friendly and helpful and it was very convenient having a food truck (very nice burgers) and coffee truck (opened at 7am) on site. Toilets and showers were well kept, if a little busy on our visit. Nice quirks, such as water taps in trees located around and availability to hire fire pits and buy wood for the evening. Pitches are not pre-booked, so worth showing up early for a nice riverside (or utility close) spot. Depending on what you're after. Pay per person, not pitch. Nice to be amoungst the trees and on grass. Slight hippy vibe, but not unpleasant, everyone is just chilled and respectful. Highly recommended.

The Red Squirrel Campsite is a truly stunning place to stay. The views are breathtaking, and the River Coe runs right alongside the pitches, making it a perfect spot for a refreshing swim or simply relaxing by the water. It's an ideal campsite for anyone looking to get back to nature and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The facilities are clean and well maintained, and the whole site has a laid-back, chilled atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a scenic and relaxing camping experience.
