Torridon Camp Site

Ich bin begeistert von diesem Campingplatz! Die Show more

Ich bin begeistert von diesem Campingplatz! Die Toiletten sind sauber und vielleicht 30 Sekunden vom Platz entfernt, der Platz selber ist von Bäumen umgeben, absolut Müllfrei und fast nicht matschig. Was allerdings absolut nervig und für uns vollkommen überraschend war, sind die Mücken. Die Einheimischen nennen sie 'Migies', sie sind winzig, beißen aber ziemlich schmerzhaft zu und treten zu Millionen auf. Ernsthaft, das ist kein Witz. Wir wollten uns zum Frühstück raus setzen und wurden unter mitleidigen Schmunzlern der erfahreneren Torridoner Camper fast aufgefressen. Sobald etwas Wind geht, sind die Mücken übrigens wie 'weggeblasen' ;) also hofften wir zum ersten Mal in meinem Leben im Urlaub auf schlechtes Wetter Aber ernsthaft, legt euch ein gutes Mückenspray und Mückennetze zu, bevor ihr hier her kommt. Die Umgebung lohnt auf jeden Fall einen Besuch und der Campingplatz an sich ist top! Viel Spaß in Torridon :)

Stayed here from the 25-28th June 2017. Loads of Show more

Stayed here from the 25-28th June 2017. Loads of midges on the first day when pitching the tent although they didn't seem to be biting, perhaps due to taking antihistamine. Had millions of them in the tent with us overnight! Ladies shower cubicle was clean and adequate. Mens shower was blocked with mud which kept coming up from the drain when partner was showering. Mens toilet block was covered in mud on the floor. Following days were good and breezy with not many of the dreaded midge about. The campsite was used by cyclists and hillwalkers. it is in a fantastic location for hillwalking. Will hopefully be able to visit again. Recommended donation of five pounds per night is very reasonable.

This is a 'free' campsite excellently Show more

This is a 'free' campsite excellently located for the Torridon Hills. Whilst it is nominally free - campers are expected to make donations (in the box provided in the toilet/shower block) for using the basic facilities which are pretty good. The toilet block does get cleaned regularly and there are bins for rubbish. Yes - it's quite a boggy site after rain - but that doesn't detract from it's superb location and the fact that it's a 'proper' camp site that only has facilities for tents. Unfortunately because of it's excellent location it tends to get used by larger youth groups who can get noisy and boisterous at night. There are signs clearly requesting people not to make fires - but these seem to be regularly ignored. Understandably, fires can be a good way to keep away the midges and cold - permanent 'fire pits' would be a better option than trying to ban them completely. I spent a great week at this site during June 2015. It was ideal for the purpose and I can only hope that it doesn't get closed down due to the obvious mis-use of facilities by a few people.
