Along the east coast, many sites that have views of the sea are also taken up with statics. Less so on the west coast, don't know why. I use the website's map search with my chosen criteria ticked (we need loos and showers, you may be self-sufficient) and then check recent reviews - Luss, for example, is pretty but gets road noise and midges and Scone is nowhere near water or mountains.... Sounds like Sarahsop is a CCC member - Dunbar, Culzean and Fortrose & Rosemarkie CCC sites are the few CCC sites with sea views. But there are loads of excellent sites which aren't CCC and have views of water of some sort. My favourites with water views, for what it's worth, would be Solway View (near Kirkcudbright), Sandyhills (between Dalbeattie & Dumfries), Machrihanish (near Campbeltown), and Carradale in Kintyre (expensive if you're not CC); And I love the old sites at the back of the beach that you find up the NW, where you forgive the facilities because the views of islands, mountains and sunsets are so stunning (like Gruinard Bay in Wester Ross, or those in the Mallaig area that are famed for their shell sand beaches and turquoise waters). Ferries are expensive, we rarely use them. We rarely book more than one night ahead, usually we look at the scenery and the sky, and decide whether to stay or move on, and in which direction. We've found ourselves in entirely unexpected places that way. Our Scottish weather varies so much, if it's rotten - move on. If it's gorgeous - stay put. If the midges are fierce, spray on Skin So Soft hourly.
