CAMPSITE
Near Morar
and Arisaig,
West Highlands of Scotland
on The
Road to the Isles
LATEST STOP-PRESS: We will shortly complete the sale of Camusdarach, including the campsite, to the Stuart family who are moving here from near Arbroath.
Their comment is " We fell in love with the wonderful place that so many of you have fallen in love with over the years - and so we are delighted to be taking over Camusdarach - and plan to run it very much as Andrew and Angela have done. We look forward to seeing you soon!"
The Stuarts come to Camusdarach with over 10 years experience of running and catering for marquee weddings across Scotland and can't think of anywhere more beautiful or romantic for your special day whether in the Marquee or on the Beach. Please ask about the possibilities of having your dream wedding at Camusdarach - we'd be delighted to discuss how we can help with arranging the beach and/or the Marquee, catering and all other aspects of your special day.
Andrew and Angela would like to thank all
the visitors over the years for helping to make the campsite and self-catering
so successful and are very happy to pass on the baton to the Stuarts and hope
you will continue to visit and enjoy the campsite and the self-catering under
their ownership.
The campsite at Camusdarach offers superb panoramic views of the islands and is sheltered by many large mature trees. The undulating grassy surface makes tent pitching easy and offers flatter areas for caravans. The 42 pitches are generous in size and allow parking on-pitch. It is advisable to book a pitch in advance. We are a family site and in order to maintain peace and quiet ask all visitors to arrive by 8:00 pm and no noise after 11:00 pm..
Electric hook-ups (21) are available and should definitely be booked in advance. There are 6 hard-standing pitches particularly for vans and 4 new grass hook-up pitches for large tents. Hook-ups are available in both camping areas and serviced pitches are larger than before. Please note that very large tents, 7m by 7m or larger, will be rated as occupying 2 pitches.

The site has an immaculate, modern toilet and
shower block, which includes a laundry with washing and
drying machines, washing-up areas and facilities for the
disabled and babies. Effluent from the shower-block is treated by a series of reed-beds which detoxify the outflow water preventing any contamination of the surrounding land. This provides an eco-friendly solution to waste disposal. A separate disposal point is available for chemical toilet waste. |
 |
The whole estate is geared towards sustainable land use in the hope that we, as custodians of this small area of the Highlands, can pass on to the next generation a healthy environment for every living thing whether human or otherwise. We have been awarded the Green Tourism silver award and our site has been awarded 4 stars by the Scottish Tourist Board and 4 pennants by the AA. |

A footpath from the site gives access to the superb sandy beaches used as a location in the film "Local Hero" which are a mere 5 minute stroll away. We are regularly written up in the national press and have been listed in the Top 10 Beach campsites in the UK by the Daily Telegraph in 2009 and in the Scotsman (May 2008) Ewan McGregor was quoted as saying: "Probably the World's Best Beach"!!!! Need we say more..... |
A travelling shop visits twice a week providing milk, meat, vegetables, fruit and basic groceries.
The site is open from March to October.
You will find us 4 miles North of
Arisaig on the Old Coast Road, now B8008, and will see our large
red and gold signs at the gate.
