Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: The shelter hut was great for sorting gear after being out in the hills. And then as a place to retreat to when the rain and hail showers came down. Beautiful view from it too.
Disliked: A bit of a hike to the toilets and showers.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: The facilities were excellent, particularly the cabin, where I could escape the rain or midges. The location is stunning and all the facilities were very clean and well cared for. The cooking tables, folding chairs and barbecues were a real bonus for campers because we cannot carry these. There were good guides for various walks and the binoculars in the cabin were a nice touch. It is clear the site manager has put a lot of thought into creating a perfect camp site.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Absolutely beautiful place to camp, amazing views,great wee hide to watch the wildlife. Although the ducks and geese happy to come and say hello.
Disliked: Need toilets closer to campsite. Being a mature lady. Far too far away. Maybe put one or two next to the hide. My only dislike.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Small campsite where you could choose where to pitch. The camping cabin was excellent and we were delighted there were chairs and camping tables available to borrow. The loos and showers were about 400 metres away. The showers were compact and were lovely and warm. The warden was very helpful and pleasant.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: View across the bay Hot showers, plenty of water USB solar charging point
Disliked: One toilet, provided by council, shared by campers, cabins and visitors alike - luckily not too busy when we visited. 9 camp spaces bookable on website but 15 tents were insitu when we left. In height of season would be a very different and crowded experience. Boggy ground by shore Shelter supplied but very small for more than a few people and would be difficult in wet weather and midge season. Not permitted to cook inside as wooden structure - would suggest further suitable areas need to be offered given numbers and often need for shelter from the weather.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: the Isle of Rum
Disliked: Initial 'Welcome' at the campsite from warden during heavy rain while trying to pitch our tent, only interested in how we were going to pay for our stay and oblivious of what we were trying to do (pitching our tent as fast as possible so it didn't get wet). Camp site area for tents is very poorly designed, it was a boggy swamp most of our 2 night stay. Toilet and shower facilities were clean but are too far away from the actual camp site. Too expensive for what you actually get. Its a shame since the place has some great potential, but poorly managed.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: The wee shelter was well built and had a place to charge your phone
Disliked: The toilets are ages away and are some sort of breeding ground for midges of biblical proportions. No cook shed for bad weather. Signs up in the shelter asking you not to cook in there.
