Camping in Ullapool

Camping around Ullapool means waking up to Loch Broom or its side lochs on your doorstep, with the Summer Isles often visible on the horizon and the working harbour a short walk or drive away. The town itself has one site right on its edge, ideal for anyone wanting to explore on foot or catch an early ferry without a long drive, while a couple of sites just outside town trade a little distance for beachfront pitches, greater peace and, in one case, genuine remoteness. Given Wester Ross's changeable weather, most pitches here are chosen as much for shelter and drainage as for view, and hookup pitches are in demand throughout the short high season.

All three sites below are open primarily from spring through autumn, though exact dates vary and it is worth checking directly before travelling outside the core June-to-September window. Facilities range from full modern amenity blocks to simple, rustic set-ups with little more than a water tap and a compost toilet, reflecting the spread of camping styles the area attracts — from touring caravans following the North Coast 500 to backpackers and campervanners after a genuinely remote pitch. Midges are a real consideration in still, warm weather from June to August, so a head net or repellent is worth packing whichever site you choose, and pitches with a breeze off the loch tend to fare noticeably better.
