Camping in Corrieshalloch Gorge National Nature Reserve

• Corrieshalloch Gorge is the smallest of Scotland's 43 national nature reserves, but still sees plenty of passing traffic. Booking is highly recommended for all campgrounds in the surrounding area.
• Most campsites are often only open from March to November, so check opening hours ahead of travel. If in doubt, call the campsite directly.
• The area surrounding the gorge area is ripe for wild camping, particularly on a mountain top or loch shore for an unbeatable sunrise. Remember to abide by Scotland’s Outdoor Access Code and leave nothing behind.

Corrieshalloch Gorge is open daily, all year-round and makes for a compelling visit at any time. In autumn, the brilliant reds and golds of the trees bring leaf-peepers from afar, while summer sees the local area embrace road trippers driving the North Coast 500 circuit. Perhaps best of all, however, is spring, when snowmelt ensures the rush of River Droma’s water flow is more power shower, less leaky tap. Wildlife can be seen throughout the year—look for a rare species of crane fly, which basks in the sodden-wet dead wood in the shade.

• There are no toilet facilities at Corrieshalloch Gorge. Ullapool is 19 kilometres by road to the northwest and is the best option.
• The gorge is best reached by car. The nearest bus stop is at Braemore Junction, one kilometre away by foot. Take a bus from Ullapool and Gairloch and bear in mind services are few and far between. 
• In recent years, the gorge has become a popular site for aerial photography. Because of this, the area around the bridge and viewing platform are “no drone zones.”
