What customers say
Fantastic seaside spot with great views & close to amenities. Staff are super helpful! Facilities are good, though toilets/showers are a bit of a walk. Watch for midges in summer & some boggy pitches. Great base for exploring the Isle of Rum.

Lovely campsite but there's still much that can be done to improve it
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Elle the receptionist was lovely and helped us by providing a lot of useful info at all times. The barbecue at the campsite came in handy and there was a tap with potable water nearby. The surrounding scenery was just stunning. And the campsite itself was gorgeous (but room for improvement)
Disliked The showers were too far away from the campsite, the compost toilets had no light inside nor the cabin at the campsite for use at night. The charging station wouldn't work sometimes, the sinks didn't have a shelter above for those times it rains and no receptionist at the site at all times (not the receptionist fault obviously).

Great campsite, wonderful views and location.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Excellent location and facilities. Good indoor shelter to keep out of rain and away from midges. Showers hot and powerful, excellent drying room available and staff always friendly and helpful.
Disliked Expensive for a single traveller.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Location of site is excellent, short level walk from ferry pier, close to well stocked shop/post office.
Right on the edge of the loch, View over Loch Scresort is beautiful. Lots of birds and seals.
Nice level grass to pitch on, well drained.
Best of all is the wooden shed with seating, hanging space and table, plus veranda with bench, great to sit out of the rain and midges.
Composting toilets work well and always clean.
Disliked Not really a complaint, part of the Scottish experience, and not in anyone’s control anyway, but expect a lot of midges!

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Good access to bathrooms, shower nearby, great view of the water, good facility for cooking and a sheltered place to eat or rest.
Disliked Midges! The site in the woods and right on the water was beautiful, but also meant more midges.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked I spent 3 nights at the Rum site with my Grandson. Climbing and nature watching.
Although the weather was mixed and the midges wild the site facilities and location where ideal for our needs and we plan to return in the not too distance future.
