One of the nicest campsites I've ever been to. Extremely remote, but the road leading up is easy to do even with a city car. The hike to Scoraig lighthouse from the campsite is one I'll never forget. The bothy serving as common room is great, nice to get some shelter to prep a meal and relax.

Absolutely stunning campsite - beautiful walk down to the loch which was just so clear and peaceful. Lovely little plots - just right for our campervan. Toilets and showers were clean and functional. Only downside was the midges - I would have loved to stay outside for longer but we had to retreat to the van. Highly recommended though.

A lovely quiet laid back site with stunning views of the mountains with a short walk down to the loch which gives you fantastic views back across the loch in both directions. Facilities met all my demands, the showers were very good, a Bothy to hand as well if the weather or the midges get to bad. 🤪
Fire pits provided but bring your own wood.
I fully recommend a stop here if you are in the area.

Dog-friendly camping in Ben Wyvis National Nature Reserve guide
When to go
Ben Wyvis National Nature Reserve is all year-round and offers something different in each season. For optimal conditions for walking the trails, the best time to visit is during spring or summer, which is also the best time to see ptarmigan, dotterals, golden eagles and rich mosses. Fall promises a landscape carpeted in rich colors and the spectacle of rutting red deer. The views from the top on a clear winter day are especially beautiful.
Know before you go
- While it’s a relatively easy trail to the top, the weather can quickly change. Visitors should have sturdy walking boots, warm and waterproof clothing, and food and drink for the day.
- Visitors should observe the Scottish Outdoor Access Code: keep to paths to avoid disturbing breeding birds and mosses; leave no trace, and refrain from picking flowers.
- The closest bus stop is in the village of Garve, five miles (eight kilometers) from the reserve’s parking lot. Garve also has a train station with direct service Inverness and Kyle of Lochalsh.
