Liked Future of motor homing, you don’t check in. You drive in, your pitch is allocated. You look on screen on entrance. Very clean well ran site. Good pub, have to pre book meals. Shop has everything you need. Great shower block. Amazing views, you are literally on the waters edge.

Overall it was a fantastic stay. Very relaxed and in a great place.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked The setting is beautiful. Stunning views of the loch and hills beyond.
Very easy to check in and clear where we were to go (we were camping with a tent).
Plenty of parking near the tent pitch so easy to unload the tent etc.
Secure dog run which was very handy.
Toilets and showers were clean. Showers were hot and powerful!
Handy sinks and fridges for cleaning up and storing food.
Nice park for children which you can see from the pub!
Shop on site was well stocked.
Laundry on site if you needed it.
Cleaned regularly.
Other campers were very friendly!
Disliked It would be handy to be able to book a pitch where you can have a van right next to your tent. We don’t sleep in the van but it’s handy to sit in.

Beautiful site, that has covered everything
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Campsite and facilities were spotless. Staff were so helpful and the food from the restaurant was lovely. Views were beautiful I couldn’t fault this site at all.
Disliked Watch out for the ticks, there was so many. They were so small we had to take a video and then zoom in to see if it was a tick. So please keep an eye out. This has nothing to do with the campsite doing anything wrong but it’s better to be warned
