  • Well-maintained caravan site on the shores of Loch Alsh
  • Isle of Skye 10 minutes’ drive; an hour to Loch Ness
  • Railway station, supermarkets and pubs within five minutes' drive
Tick off sights along the North Coast 500, sail (or drive) over the sea to Skye and experience some of the very best scenery in the Highlands at Reraig Caravan and Camping, a well-maintained and thoroughly peaceful location on the shores of lovely Loch Alsh. Set on over two acres of tree-lined grounds within easy walking distance of the water's edge, this is a great spot for overnight stops or longer holidays in a very special part of Scotland. With spacious pitches served by well-maintained amenities – including a smart toilet and shower block, washing-up areas and chemical waste disposal points – you're in good hands here from a practical point of view. And when it comes to food, there's a restaurant and bar next door to the site to fill you up when you're feeling hungry; supermarkets, pubs and restaurants can also be reached in Kyle of Lochalsh within a five-minute drive, so you won't be short on off-site or self-catering options either. Balmacara’s village convenience store is also just opposite the site on the A87. Dogs are welcome at Reraig Caravan and Camping, but please make sure to keep them on their leads and well-behaved at all times.

Jamie F. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional cement/asphalt RV campsite

Liked: Good location and well presented site, warm and friendly welcome on arrival, little road noise considering how close it is to the main road (we were on pitch 1 - the closest to the gate). On site Takeaway available Tuesday-Saturday.
Free WiFi with decent coverage/speed depending on your pitch, antenna is in the main building so pitches on the far other end would struggle, decent mobile coverage available though

Disliked: Only 2 showers in the mens and 3 in the ladies so had a bit of a wait but this is only a minor issue

Power optional cement/asphalt RV campsite

Liked: Great site, with pretty walk along paths towards next towns. Hosts very welcoming and friendly. Visiting food van served delicious fresh seafood- off the scale value. Handy convenience shop within a few minutes walk. Generous pitch sizes but no on-site washing machine, and shower block a little tired looking. However, warm welcome and convenience to Loch shore makes up for this - would recommend

Delly B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional cement/asphalt RV campsite

Liked: This was a nicely put together small site and the pitches were laid out well with plenty of space. We were situated against the back of the site where it backs on to a wooded area and over looks the rest of the site. There is a useful food van than provides food which is great if you're a late arrival to site. Lovely toilets/showers and all amenities for the our camper/caravan.

Disliked: Midges! Whilst I know there is nothing the site can do about them and this comment is not at all aimed at the site it's more of a means to highlighting the problem, just be aware that from dusk to dawn or at least until the sun comes out the following day there is an abundance of them and you'll need either the best nets on your chosen camping home or you'll need to keep the doors/windows closed. We have dogs and this was hard for us to have to keep them in the campervan and try and cook with the doors and windows closed. We had the door open just a short time and they were everywhere.

I know western Scotland near to lochs has the biggest midge population so it is to be expected but one of our dogs had them over her head, neck and legs which wasn't great and neither did I expect that. We have travelled down the whole west coast from the north and these are the only midges we have encountered.

So if this isn't something you like I'd consider this before you book. (We visited in may)

Local attractions

Locally, there's lots to see and do, from the National Trust for Scotland's network of Loch Alsh woodland and lochside walks (a couple of minutes' drive) to the spectacular grounds of Attadale Gardens (20 minutes) or the impressive sight of Eilean Donan Castle (five minutes), one of the most iconic fortresses on Scotland's west coast. Driving over to the Isle of Skye can be done in about 10 minutes, but it will take about an hour to get to the island's biggest town of Portree, and a little longer still to get to more remote spots. The drive is well worth the effort, though – and if you need respite from being behind the wheel, you can head out birdwatching or in search of whales and dolphins aboard one of the many tourist cruises that leave from the island's main harbours. Further afield, day trips into the interior are also on the cards – you'll be able to reach Loch Ness in about an hour without too much trouble, and if monster-hunting doesn't appeal you could always go cycling along the Caledonian Canal (an hour) or hiking along the Five Sisters of Kintail (30 minutes), a spectacular ridge walk high up in the mountains.
