# Torridon Camp Site If the thought of spending the night without a hot shower or flushing toilet makes your blood curdle, but you fancy the freedom of wild camping, then you’re in a bit of a quandary. The solution is on hand, though, in the form of the Torridon campsite. Open only to tents and often deserted, this gem is as close to wild camping as you can get, but with toilets and hot showers on hand to ease you through the experience. Despite being located just off the A896 at the entrance to Torridon village and opposite the Torridon Countryside Centre, this small field still manages to feel both incredibly remote and rustic. Rowan trees and Scots pines shield the campsite from the road, and the basic toilet and shower block is actually located just outside the main gate – although they belong to the campsite they are also open to the public. The fact that you are allowed to build campfires – as long as you contain them, use twigs and branches that are lying on the ground and don’t cut any wood from the trees – is also a big plus. The campsite’s crowning glory, though, is the voluminous Liathach massif that looms large from above the northern perimeter; although Torridon’s volatile weather and frequent low cloud cover mean that you might only see the boulder fields on the mountain’s lower slopes. In keeping with wild camping, you cannot book a pitch in advance and there is no charge to stay at Torridon. In fact, the only drawback you might face is that it can get boggy if it’s been raining, so pitch on the perimeter and park in the Countryside Centre car park. Also, in overcast weather with little wind, the midges can be ferocious, so bring your Avon Skin So Soft repellent. Torridon, a mesmerising, protected landscape of sweeping sea lochs, tumbling burns and hulking mountain peaks that vault towards the heavens, is one of Scotland’s last great wildernesses and a Mecca for walkers and climbers. Together, the Achnashellach and Torridon hills boast no less than 17 Munros. The views from the top of Torridon’s peaks are breathtaking; however, these are serious mountains, where wild weather, knife-edge ridges and vertical ascents make them hazardous for even the most experienced climber, so caution needs to be exercised. It is advisable to tackle more difficult walks in the company of a guide. Low- and high-level walks can be booked with rangers from the Countryside Centre (01445 791368; Easter–September). You can also book a host of outdoor pursuits with Torridon Activities (01445 791242; www.torridon-activities.com), including an excellent navigation course that equips you with the skills to find your way off the mountains in reduced visibility. - Type: Place to stay - Location: Achnasheen, Highland, Scotland - Booking: Not bookable online on HolidayFox; call +441445712345 - HTML page: https://www.holidayfox.com/en/e/dest-K2jIi4Zxfzw9/torridon-camp-site ## Amenities and facilities - Toilets - Shop - Bar or Club House - On-Site Restaurant or Cafe ## Suitable for - Dog Friendly - Pets - Family - People - Children or Kids (3-10) - Tweens (11-13) - Teens (13+) ## Nearby stays - [Mol Mor Base Camp](https://www.holidayfox.com/en/e/dest-oeGmEn0bRTvH/mol-mor-base-camp) - [Campbell House](https://www.holidayfox.com/en/e/dest-aCvvhg9wXiID/campbell-house) - [Croftend](https://www.holidayfox.com/en/e/dest-efZaqhmsO28P/croftend) - [Incheril Lodge](https://www.holidayfox.com/en/e/dest-uH1ZyCQ0GxFc/incheril-lodge) - [Professor's Cottage](https://www.holidayfox.com/en/e/dest-4jGQsxSQu2Rl/professor-s-cottage) All stays nearby: https://www.holidayfox.com/en/e/dest-K2jIi4Zxfzw9/torridon-camp-site/near-by-accommodations.md ## Nearby things to do - [Hebridean Whale Cruises](https://www.holidayfox.com/en/e/dest-l7R7YDtMXgEY/hebridean-whale-cruises) - [Hebridean Whale Cruises](https://www.holidayfox.com/en/e/dest-5DLP5PwRJ0E5/hebridean-whale-cruises) - [Calums Plockton Seal Trips](https://www.holidayfox.com/en/e/dest-ZKf4ULcQbtQ2/calums-plockton-seal-trips) - [Inverewe Garden and Estate](https://www.holidayfox.com/en/e/dest--WljPaM5AXoe/inverewe-garden-and-estate) All things to do nearby: https://www.holidayfox.com/en/e/dest-K2jIi4Zxfzw9/torridon-camp-site/near-by-experiences.md ## Questions and answers ### Where is Torridon Camp Site?
