Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Toilets looked new

Disliked: Storm was forecast and no shelter just electric on a hilly field . No doubt on a sunny day it is nice with views but when you've seen the views up north you just need some sleep. Sorry but just feel Woodside would have had some shelter . £30 is felt a bit steep for a field when we decided to pull in and park somewhere sheltered for free sorry just my opinion .

From the manager: We are very sorry that you were so disappointed by our campsite you thought it a 1/10.

We are actually called Woodend, not Woodside, and when the site first opened in 1978 it was at the 'Woodend'. I would have thought that from the many photos of our site both on here and on Facebook, google etc you should have realised exactly what you were coming to. Thank fully the 'storm' didn't come to much here but most places in the north of Scotland are windy.

A lot of our visitors tell us that they have enjoyed some wonderful night's sleep here as it is so peaceful.

£30 is a pretty average cost for a pitch with electric, if you had come to tell us you were concerned about shelter, we could have guided you to a more sheltered spot or discussed a refund if you wanted to leave. we are disappointed you have left us such a poor review for dislikes that are completely out with our control.

Great camp site

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Gorgeous wee site. Well not so wee actually. Find your own space style (when not on EHU) with gorgeous views all around. Field left unmowed so surrounded by buttercups so it’s like you’re in a meadow. Owner is a lovely helpful guy. Showers and toilets spotless and a nice campers kitchen with a microwave, kettle and toaster!!!!

Oh and my request for sunshine and no midges were met the morning after we arrived so there’s service for you 😉

Worth noting bird watchers will like this too. My Merlin app picked up a few unusual (to me) bird calls including an osprey 🦅

Disliked: Nothing. Was one of the best we’ve stayed on

Local attractions

Ever seen salmon jumping? If not, your first experience might take place at the Falls of Shin (20 minutes’ drive), a waterfall which gained a reputation for its salmon leaping upstream. Perhaps you’re sussing out exactly which lochs to visit after you’ve explored Loch Shin. Loch Craggie (20 minutes), 166 metres above sea level, can be tracked down by a forest trail from Lairg. Loch Merkland (25 minutes), a fair bit larger, has a good selection of walking trails too. If you’re keen for more of an uphill challenge, you might want to eye up Ben Hee (45 minutes). The quickest trail to the summit begins at Loch Merkland… and what a summit it is, as the highest summit in Sutherland (2,840 feet, no less). The views over Loch Merkland are a worthy reward for the climb.
