The showers didn't appear to have any heating and the path to the toilets was very uneven, so not good in the dark. One of the only places without access to hairdryers or soap too · via Google [Nona We](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110510370568683168201/reviews) ★★★★★ We rented a caravan it was the best stay in scotland. All new, fully equiped, lounge and two bedrooms very reasonably priced. All the staff were very helpful and pleasant · via Google [BG82](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109372521115847612191/reviews) ★★★★★ Spacious and well kept site with clean facilities. Excellent location with amazing coastal views. Site manager was very friendly. Great stop off on the NC500. Thankyou. · via Google [Rob](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/104622812390344218699/reviews) ★★★★★ Stayed 1 night – overall great campsite. The restaurant didn’t open for breakfast until 10am – found that weird. Used the washing machine successfully but found the dryer to be inadequate and in need of service or replacement. The normal time didn’t dry our clothes. Staff we’re friendly, professional and helpful. Didn’t wander into town but wish we had. FANTASTIC ocean views! · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x489ab93c335d97cd:0x606383838e31e111!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors consistently praise this campsite for its stunning ocean views and exceptionally clean, well-maintained showers and excellent washing facilities.
