Lovely photo Barry. Thanks for posting it. My wife wants to see the West Coast of Scotland, I haven't been there since I was a teenager. I'll add this site to the, ever growing, list. Simon

It's an interesting site.
The owner is a Glasgow builder who with his wife designed and built the site from scratch. The facilities are excellent and includes an outdoor shelter with no sides to dry stuff off in the rain and he's built a new house for them both and his son. There's also a covered outdoor seating area with a huge map of the area on one wall. Underfloor heating in shower cubicles and a family shower room. Good laundry but the washing up facilities are outside (covered but it can be a VERY windy location).

Rather than pay £3 or £5 a day for electricity, you only pay for what you use. Tokens are bought from a dispenser and fed into a meter on each place (where you plug the 16amp wire into). We stayed for 5 days so I bought 5 £1 tokens. After 5 days I'd only used 80p worth and cashed the remainder in at the office (according to instructions) - we're fairy heavy electricity users too.

There's wifi repeaters all over the site so there's always a strong signal.

It's a 2 min walk down to a very rocky interesting beach.

In the high season the site gets busy and my son found it booked up.
When my wife and I were there (late season, September I think) it was almost empty.
It closes down over winter but the owner was telling me that he gets a lot of enquiries about whether he'd do limited opening and he was considering how he might do this

It's a 30 min hilly walk into Arisaig (hotel bar and cafe and a separate cafe with good coffee and scones and such) and a 20 min drive to Mallaig. Mallaig is pretty and the most expensive place in Scotland for everything (alcohol, f&c, coffee, sandwiches, cakes, the lot).
It has a very good specialist fish restaurant and next door a very good pub with quality food.

Worth a shot!

Very interested by the electricity costs. I've always felt that the costs of up to £5 per night were excessively high and it was being set at that rate for high consumers. But if you only used 80p worth in 5 days, that would seem to indicate that it is mostly an income earner. I suppose individually metering each hook-up is expensive. We camped in a tent and occasionally had a hook-up when things needed recharging. It did seem expensive for a razor and a few other gadgets that you couldn't do from a 12 volt supply.
 
Looks lovely and very similar to zell on the mosel.

Dire warnings of storms and heavy rain for North Wales this weekend meant we had the place to ourselves

Looking forward to the next weather warning, they keep the crowds away!
