The Maragowan Caravan Club site at Killan is about 2/3rd of the way.  Stop there and you'll be nice a fresh for the spectacular tow over Glencoe.

Try Sunnyside Croft in Arisaig it's only about 10 mins drive from Silver Sands we camped there in August weather was excellent , campsite is great with access to the beach and stunning views of Eigg & Skye for both tents and caravans etc. Facilities are excellent it's the best site we have stayed on.

We completely agree with Hockeychic's comments about Sunnyside Croft at Arisaig - it is my favourite-ever site.
We stayed there in June this year.
Everything about it was brilliant.
Spotlessly clean and you only pay for the electricity that you use -
via pre-pay cards available 24 hours.
Friendly very helpful owners of the site.
Easy drive into Mallaig and the Jacobite train goes through Arisaig station.
I really didn't want to come home -
I have a postcard pinned up in my kitchen and day dream of going back there.
Ahhh - wonderful memories.

Another vote for Sunnyside here, clearly the best site in the area



Bunacaimbe Bay at Sunnyside provides sunsets to die for !



The whole area boasts some of the most stunning views you will ever see. We went up last week but had to return home before getting to Sunnyside due to my MIL passing away.

Managed to catch a wonderful rainbow just as we left.


Glad you didn't choose high season to visit Morar, as you can see the beach is just mobbed !



Have a great time and post lots of pics please

My wife and I are giving up our site warden job (well unless we find somewhere for the school holidays) and are planning an around Britain Tour taking in as much of the coast as possible.

The site highlighted by Tiggersmum, is a must me thinks
