Situé dans le village d'Applecross, ce site est assez basique et vieillissant. Les emplacements sont sur herbe ou en dur. L'Applecross Inn se trouve à quelques pas, où la nourriture de pub est bon marché. Le site est bien, la vue depuis le pub est belle et mérite une visite, surtout au coucher du soleil.

Located in the village of Applecross, this site is quite basic and ageing. The pitches are on grass or hard standing. It’s a short walk to the Applecross Inn, where pub food is cheap. The site is fine, the view from the pub is lovely and worth a visit, especially at sunset.

Diese im Dorf Applecross gelegene Seite ist recht einfach und in die Jahre gekommen. Die Stellplätze sind auf Gras oder Hartplätzen. Es ist nur ein kurzer Spaziergang zum Applecross Inn, wo Pub-Essen günstig ist. Der Ort ist in Ordnung, die Aussicht vom Pub ist herrlich und einen Besuch wert, besonders bei Sonnenuntergang.

Situato nel villaggio di Applecross, questo sito è piuttosto semplice e invecchiato. Le piazzole sono su erba o cemento. È a pochi passi dall'Applecross Inn, dove il cibo da pub è economico. Il sito è bello, la vista dal pub è incantevole e merita una visita, soprattutto al tramonto.

    We were there the second day of it being open. I think it’s been recently renovated. Lovely staff, great facilities for the price. Lovely pub within walking distance, great food and beer, also offer cash back if needed. Just what we needed after the rural NC500. Even saw 2 stags whilst we were there! Thank you x

  • 5/5

    Fantastic place to stay , so helpful, allowed us to have multiple dogs on leads , accepts roof tents. Lovely warm and clean facilities. Can’t wait to come back !

  • 5/5

    £23 for two people in a campervan. Nicely spaced pitches. Facilities basic but clean!

  • 5/5

    £23 for two people in a SWB campervan on a large pitch with electricity. Views are great, staff are very friendly and short walk to great pub. £4 for the washing machine, £1 for 10 minutes int he tumble dryer. Facilities are in need of an upgrade, WiFi very poor and no phone signal at all (I had an urgent phone to make and the receptionist let me use their landline), but can’t grumble at the price

  • 5/5

    Great campsite and at the right price... if you need food there's a pub at the sea front, but book in advance as it's very busy... also the campsite can get waterlogged in some places, so avoid the dips in the camp grounds and you'll be fine... everything is spotless including the toilets and showers...

  • 1/5

    avoid, we stayed as only campsite in applecross. 27 without ehu most expensive one so far on our route. toilets are disgusting and filthy no matter when we went. finally found a newer block which were slightly better. was told to park by the fence yet no one else was yet round the other side was the views, wasn't offered here yet others were. can't leave after 9pm as can't get back on to site.

    Nach dem Cattle Pass loht sich eine Nacht auf dem Platz.Im oberen Bereich sind neue Sanitäranlagen gebaut,sauber und kostenfrei.Bei unserem Aufenthalt war ein Foodtruck am Platz, sehr leckere Burger mit heimischen Produkten.Die Besitzer sind sympathisch und sehr freundlich.

  • 2/5

    We paid £27 for a small camper on sloping grass pitch with no electric. The site is basic and ageing, the toilets, showers and laundry room were damp and not very clean. For the amount of campers we saw the facilities seemed quite stretched. 1 washing machine & 2 showers. The view from the pub and the nice guy at reception are its only redeeming features. Very basic compared with others on NC500.

  • 4/5

    Camping très propre et bien agencé. Douche chaude. Petit food truck pour petit dej et dîner sur le pouce ( pub et resto fermant très tôt) nous n’avions pas réservé et nous sommes présentes 5 mn avant fermeture. Accueil très sympathique. Plusieurs douches et toilettes et tous les services à disposition.

  • 3/5

    Cold showers, told where to park despite acres of space, and definitely overpriced at 27 quid. There wasn’t much choice in the area, but I wouldn’t return. The pub and food down in the village was fabulous tho!

  • 4/5

    Prima camping. Ruime plaatsen. Voorzieningen in orde. Goed.

  • 3/5

    Tarifs dans la moyenne (27£ pour 2 adultes et un van, sans électricité). Sanitaires très moyens : pas très propres, douche tiède, sèche-mains en panne. Lave-linge, sèche-linge et éviers pas très propres non plus. Food truck très sympa dans le camping.

    Ben hier 20 jaar geleden geweest en nu weer. Toen was het een klein, kneuterig campingkje, nu is het minimaal drie keer zo groot en een stuk duurder. 29 jaar geleden was het bijbehorende greenhouse een soort theehuis en nu staat het er vervallen bij. Ontbijten in Applecross Inn is er ook niet meer bij, alleen voor hotelgasten. Wel elke ochtend en avond een foodtruck op de camping met prima eten. Sfeertje is ook prima verder.

  • 4/5

    Alleen lozen zwart en grijs water, even melden en betalen bij receptie. £7. Voorziening is direct bij de ingang, dus perfect te bereiken.

  • 5/5

    Nice little location, Friendly place and great facilities

  • 4/5

    Alles ok, man steht recht dicht beisammen auf einer großen Wiese… Ausblick gibt es leider nicht , sonst ist alles da was man braucht

  • 5/5

    Really nice place very efficiently run, really busy people still arriving at 6.40. They have a van that offer on site food which I went for as it looked good in fact it was delicious “Applecross Botha” fresh hot and very tasty dinner. No 3 plenty of EE

  • 5/5

    5 stars just because of the location. Staying 2 days after 12 1 night stops. Enjoyed a meal and a drink at the Applecross Inn, (booking recommended), in the sunshine.

  • 5/5

    Excellent campsite. Easy walk to Applecross Inn. Will definately return

  • 5/5

    Lovely campsite, staff friendly. Good facilities, would recommend.

  • 5/5

    Kleiner gepflegter Campingplatz, leider voll, als wir ankamen. Wir durften trotzdem bleiben und unseren Camper auf dem Parkplatz vor der Rezeption parken. Duschen und Toiletten sind sehr sauber. Würden hier jederzeit wieder anhalten.

  • 5/5

    Not cheap but 100% worth it due to excellent facilities. Wet rooms and showers were the best we’ve come across on the NC500, and all pitches are well spaced, so a very comfortable experience. Was originally disappointed by the lack of a view from the site itself, but just a 5 minute walk down the road to the pub for amazing evening views!…

  • 3/5

    Buon campeggio con buoni servizi. Il segnale wireless non è presente in tutto il campeggio, cosi come le piazzole con elettricità. Ottimi i panini dello street food all'ingresso del campeggio.

  • 4/5

    Assez cher, 40£ pour un emplacement non délimité sur herbe, sans électricité, van, 2 adultes 3 enfants. Sanitaires vieillots. N’avons pas testé les douches. Wifi à l’accueil. La quatrième étoile revient au food truck Bothy bar tenu par deux jeunes très sympathiques cet été, petits dej et en-cas de qualité. Il manque un abri pour manger ou s’assoir au sec. Réservation nécessaire pour le pub.

  • 3/5

    Der Platz liegt wirklich schön und man hat eine tolle Aussicht, besonders von den Plätzen am Zaun im hinteren Bereich. Wir hätten sonst 4 Punkte gegeben, aber das neue Waschhaus mit den beschriebenen „Badezimmern“ hat bedauerlicherweise keine Einrichtung zum Geschirrspülen, so dass man dafür den doch recht weiten Weg zur Rezeption machen muss und dort gibt für den ganzen Platz nur zwei Spülbecken.

  • 5/5

    Lovely site, we were in the area a lot earlier than anticipated so phoned ahead and they were happy for us to arrive early which was much appreciated. Lots of pitches available, the site filled up relatively quickly. Facilities were really good, rather than separate toilets and showers, it was like your own little bathroom with a toilet, shower and sink with the added bonus of a heated towel rail.

  • 5/5

    Très agréable camping. Calme et tout était propre. On était en tente, on a payé 20£. Il y a une machine à laver dispo (mais on ne l’a pas vu.)

  • 5/5

    Sehr schöner Platz mit einer wunderbaren Aussicht aufs Wasser. Liegt leicht erhöht oberhalb des Ortes, der aber von 5min zu Fuß erreichbar ist. Der Pub im Ort ist gut besucht, Tische drinnen sollte man früh genug reservieren. Draußen hat’s aber genug freie Tische. Dort steht auch ein Imbissstand an dem es gutes (und reichhaltiges) Fish and Chips gibt. Sanitäranlagen etwas alt aber ok und sauber.

  • 5/5

    Excellent site, phoned ahead but no need to in march. warm welcome. flat hardstanding pitch with water and EHU right next to it. Award winning Applecross Inn 5 mins walk away. would stay here again.

  • 5/5

    Excellent site. Very friendly owner who made us feel welcome immediately! Clean facilities and warm showers, would definitely come back!

  • 5/5

    Loved this spot. We stayed here an extra night due to the pleasantness of the site and proximity to a great pub. If you get a pitch without electricity you'll get a better view over the sea towards Skye but any spot is nice.

  • 5/5

    Fantastic spot, was pretty quiet when we visited in March. We were given plot 13 which gives a stunning view over the Bay. Paid £23 for 2 adults in a campervan. The applecross inn serves good food and beer and allows dogs. Great for a morning walk around the way too. Nice clean shower/toilet block as well. Recommended!

  • 4/5

    Stayed on 19/10/2021. lovely site, no hook-up free when we arrived so went for a hard standing pitch. the tracks between each fields could do with having the holes filled but that would be my only negative. Great view from the field overlooking the sea .

  • 5/5

    Very friendly campsite. Booked in the night before and got a hard standing pitch with electric hook-up right next to an immaculately clean toilet/shower block with 6 idividual wetrooms for £16.50. Reception staff were very helpful and welcoming. I enjoyed fisn & chips from the van onsite (which also provides breakfast in the morning) and made use of all the facilities. Excellent value for money!

  • 4/5

    Last minute stop over and didn’t pre book. Popped into reception and got a non EHU pitch on grass for £11 for the night plus use of facilities which was great. Hot food plus breakfast available in the morning. Toilets were clean but only two showers so actually gave it a miss in the morning. Easy walk to Applecross centre and pub with great views of Skye over the water. Would stay again.

  • 2/5

    Only campsite at Applecross. We had booked in advance and it was actually one of the higher priced sites along our NC500 route, was also one of the dirtiest shower facilities. Toilets were fine, but showers not. Applecross Inn along the road had lovely food. The site had a burger van which sold dinner foods & breakfast rolls.

  • 3/5

    Decent site, plenty of space and somewhere to buy food and drink until 8pm on the evening. Only 3 stars because the gents shower and toilet facilities were not clean at all and the shower I used was using cold water as much as hot meaning I couldn't wash the suds out very quickly as the showers went cold and and as they pleased. My partner said that the women's showers where OK.

  • 3/5

    Good hard standing pitches. Only 2 showers which weren’t the cleanest. Fish and chip van handy, burger was nice. Good washing and dryer

  • 3/5

    Bit disorganised only 2 male showers fish and chips not open when promoted hard stands nr exit noisy in morning no 4 g

  • 5/5

    Nice campsite. Modern facilities. A good night's sleep. Good pub down the hill which we booked in advance via their separate website. Didn't feel busy although site full. Got EE 4G on site and even managed to stream a rugby game with it..

  • 5/5

    Very good campsite. Modern facilities. Short walk to the Applecross Inn and Bay. WiFi doesn’t work particularly well and there is very poor phone signal in the village.

  • 3/5

    Site itself is ok, lots of room for campers to pitch up on the field, bins, fresh water, hot showers etc, all the facilities there but a couple of disappointing things happened - wifi was stated as available but you only get signal when standing outside reception, it doesn’t reach the pitches, and we stayed to do laundry but were told by a male receptionist that detergent/powder wasn’t available at the campsite and that we had to bring our own (the shop that sold any was shut and we were staying for one night so this was really annoying!) but then 2 hours later after asking other campers if we could buy a pod or any detergent off them, a different female receptionist told us we could actually purchase powder from the campsite?! I would advise bringing your own (in future we’ll be taking our own regardless!). Lesson learned. Pets are allowed but have to be kept on a lead. You can book online on their website which I would advise doing in advance of just arriving. Would’ve been a better experience if the male receptionist was a bit more helpful and wifi actually worked :)

  • 5/5

    Great Campsie!

  • 4/5

    Toilets were closed from 11pm-6am due to covid. 10am departure time is early but they allowed us to park in the carpark whilst we headed out on the bikes. Spacious grass camping field.

  • 5/5

    Schöner sauberer Ort mit sehr freundlichem Personal.

  • 4/5

    Good campsite, plenty of tent pitches but limited number of hard pitches -booking in advance is advised. Good facilities and close to pub and shops. free WiFi on campsite.

  • 5/5

    Sehr guter Platz

  • 5/5

    Hot shower and water £3 per person. Very friendly staff. Stopped off while passing through in order to shower, refill the water and bin our rubbish. They were more than happy to accommodate.

  • 3/5

    Nada recomendable la carretera A896 entre Applecross y Tornapress!Aunque la carretera que sube la montaña es espectacular,no está preparada para autocaravanas(con la nuestra de 6m hemos sufrido)y ni de coña con remolques: sinuosa,estrecha,con mucho desnivel y algún tramo en obras.Mejor tomar la A896 por la costa.Camping sencillo,con los servicios mínimos.25£/noche(autocaravana,2 adultos, 1 perro)

  • 3/5

    Book in advance in summer if you need electricity. Reception is closed at lunchtime until 3pm and if you try to book online while waiting site has WiFi near the reception but no telephone signal so impossible to receive SMS payment authorisation from a bank. Book before you reach Applecross is the answer. New impeccable clean toilet block in far field but curious decision to have toilets combined with a shower and washbasin (6 of them) and no separate toilets. Nice site.

  • 1/5

    Increible que en un pais de lluvias constantes, muchisimos campings no esten preparados para las caravanas, porque el suelo es todo cesped y se hundiria. No me lo puedo creer. MUY MAL!

  • 3/5

    Quiet, clean, level. Friendly staff and great opportunity for spotting wildlife. Don't miss the thatched roundhouse on the footpath from the top of the campsite lower field, or the Applecross Inn and their amazing views.

  • 5/5

    Beautiful and simply perfect place to stay the night. Excellent walks, fabulous local Inn and stunning views. Friendly staff, loved it .

  • 3/5

    Camping très étendu avec un seul lieu pour les sanitaires. attention si vous êtes loin. sanitaires loin d'être propre, wifi en panne et pas de vidange des eaux grises.
