Camping

Applecross, 1 Craite Barn

Located in the village of Applecross, this site is well maintained and user friendly. The pitches are on grass and hard. Short walk to the Applecross Inn, where pub food is cheap and delicious. The site is well worth a visit as well as the pub.

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.

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!…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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 .

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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..

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

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)

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.

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!

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.

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.
