Hi,

I will be travelling through scotland for a 3 or 4 weeks in september mainly wild

camping but want to kow if anyone knows any campsites where I can pay to just use the

showers without getting a pitch.

I will be getting the train to fort william with my bike and looking around the local lochs

and maybe staying a few days on the isle of rum.

Thanks for any help

Would it not make sense to just overnight at the odd campsite so that you can make use of their facilities?

Some of the local toilets have showers, although I am not sure how extensive this is through Scotland.  The Kyle of Lochalsh for example has a nice toilet block with showers, you do have to pay to enter though.  (think it was 20p when we went there 2 years ago)  It could be a "harbour" thing though......

I would do as suggested, maybe every few days do an overnight in a site to get washed up.

We were in Oban recently and they also had showers you could use, located at the harbour - they looked very modern and new. 

Hi DG, if you're passing Duror, Achindarroch Touring Park will allow you to use the showers for £3. However, as you are only on your bike, it's only £5.50 for the night! Give us a shout on 01631 740329.

Cheers,

Dicky

The OP is going to Scotland.

The Bothy Pub in Fort Augustus has a shower for anybody to use in the toilets. First time I've come across this so it stuck in my mind.

When I used to do a bit of trekking when I was younger we used to use the already mentioned cunning plan of using the local swimming pools - they are refreshingly plentiful in Scotland.

 The village hall in Achiltibuie has showers, the public toilets in Torridan and I seem to remember a few public toilets with showers on Lewis and Harris including Stornoway.

 Unfortunately all a bit far from Fort William if you're cycling.
