Gruinard Bay Caravan Park

Achnasheen, Highland, Scotland

Our beach-front park is ideally set in one of the most outstanding areas of natural beauty on Scotlands west coast. We have holiday caravans for hire and pitches for touring caravans, motor-homes and tents. The area abounds in wildlife with otters and dolphins being spotted regularly from the park. There are lots of local walks either for the energetic or for the more casual stroller. Many visitors return each year because of the relaxing atmosphere and peacefulness. Overlooking Gruinard Bay, there are magnificent views of mountains and islands and some of the sunsets are superb. Swimming pools and museums are within easy reach as are shops of all descriptions (even supermarkets!)and our local hotel provides bar meals and take-aways. Our village shop has a good range of products as well as being the post office and filling station. A surfaced access road within the Park leads to grass and hard standing pitches for touring caravans and motor-homes, the majority of which are on the seafront. The camping areas are separate and each camping pitch has fencing which provides more privacy and shelter. We have separate toilets and showers for men and women, which are free for guests, washing-up sinks with hot water and a chemical toilet disposal point. Electric hook-up points and water taps are to be found throughout the Park. Laundry facilities for large loads are available for a small charge. We have six holiday caravans for hire, all of which are situated on the sea- front. They are fully equipped and all have full-sized gas cookers, refrigerators, showers, toilets and gas fires A small burn runs along by the Park, this may be fished, although we ask that any trout caught are put back to help increase the stocks of trout and sea- trout which use the burn. Wifi Hotspot available through Highland Wifi We are a listed site which runs along the North Coast 500 route. With more than 500 miles of the best the North Highlands has to offer, the route way runs to and from Inverness, venturing round the capital of the Highlands, up the West Coast and back via the rugged North Coast. It surely has to be one of the best ways to tour our beautiful countryside. ### Nearby Attractions The ruins of the Chapel of the Sand (said to have been built by St Columba) is adjacent to the Park.
