Isle of Rum Campsite

A aimé : View across the bay Hot showers, plenty of water USB solar charging point

N'a pas aimé: 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.

N'a pas aimé: 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.

A aimé : The wee shelter was well built and had a place to charge your phone

N'a pas aimé: 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.

A aimé : Excellent facilities, bunkhouse staff were polite courteous friendly and extremely helpful I had family in the bunkhouse and was able to use the washroom and shower as it was quiet New hut on campsite was a blessing and the view phenomenal The site was quiet had fantastic views and I plan to return next year with my son Having access to the bunkhouse drying room was excellent Though the weather was predominately dry for my stay

N'a pas aimé: Only the rather wet pitch site but I was prepared for that

A aimé : Beautiful location . Basic campsite but with the added bonus of a beautiful new wooden hut with phone charging facilities and shelter from the midgies and torrential rain! Good, warm showers a 2 minute walk away next to the toilets.

N'a pas aimé: Some may dislike the fact that there is no drinking water available from a tap currently as the islands water system has been broken since may I believe. It’s advised to boil all water prior to drinking. However we didn’t and just drank it anyway and I’m alive to write this review 😬

A aimé : Super location by the sea Excellent showers New hut providing shelter from rain and midges, shelves to make sandwiches and eat food and seating to relax after a day on the hills

N'a pas aimé: The showers and loos are not very close by, so not ideal for an overnight loo visit and there is a chance of getting soaked when going for a shower

A aimé : The location and the views alone are worth staying at this campsite, however the addition of the communal shelter was a godsend during a particularly torrential 24 hours on the island! Alex who runs the bunkhouse met us on arrival and showed us lots of places of interest on the huge map inside the bunkhouse and gave us information about the local shop. We saw a couple of deer in the late evening around the campsite, some seals and lots of birds. Not too many midgies!! The showers are hot but you need to have a quick shower or we found the hot water ran out. Might have just been us!!

A aimé : Amazing views, very quit when we visited which was plus. The cabin available for campers with charging station was great for drying stuff and staying dry while eating.
