 A great cliff top site with wonderful views over Sango Sands where you can select your own pitch.
Payment was made at 6pm in the evening when the office opened, credit / debit card payments have to be made in the adjacent pub.
It was very windy during our stay (gusting up to 70mph) and our van rocked about quite a bit - I likened it to 'aeroplane turbulence at sea level'. A couple of tents pitched on cliff edge were blown down - local advice is for tents to pitch on far left of camping field where there's a bit of shelter.
Toilet blocks, wash up, laundry etc. Very basic but very clean with plenty of hot water. There's a cooking / eating area for tent campers and pitches come with / without electric hookup.
There is a pub on-site though we didn't use it as it was not dog friendly; a short walk takes you to the village centre with a small supermarket and petrol station. A mile further down the road is the craft village of Balnakeil, lots of craft and art studios plus chocolate / coffee shop. Well worth a visit.
There's some lovely coast walking to be had from the site, especially out through magnificent dunes towards Fairad Headland and return via the wonderful sandy beach at Balnakeil.

Stayed here last september and couldn't wait to get back here again. The most beautiful scenery looking straight out over the ocean. Campsite had everything you could need, including a kitchen with burners and about 4 washing machines.
Showers are free and there are 8 in one block and 2 in another- just time it right when its busy or you will be queueing forever! pub on site that's cheap and pleasant.
A visit to smoo cave is a must and if you get chance, do the Cape Wrath trip. Would recommend this site for friends or families

Stayed for 5 nights over the Jubilee weekend - great site! Pitched overlooking the smaller beach virtually on the cliff edge - fantastic. The facilities were more than adequate & the kitchen area with a couple of gas rings & free gas are a very nice touch if you run out of fuel.
Visited the on site pub once & was pleasantly surprised with the beer prices considering the area - served very good food too. Handy Spar in the village too that had fresh bread & croissants most mornings - closed on Sundays though.
The walking in the surrounding area was brilliant, we kept low level. The beaches are stunning especially Balnachiel (sic). One of the best places we've stayed at so far - even better than Applecross & Camusdarach IMO. We'll definitely be back.
I think it cost us £65 for 5 nights including dog

As always, my review will be based on the fact that I am a full-time carer for my husband who is totally wheelchair dependent. This was our second visit to Sango Sands, having first stayed there in 1996. Not a lot had changed but it doesn't appear to be a site that is in a hurry to become 'super-slick' It would lose a lot of it's charm if it did as it wouldn't fit in the dramatic scenery in which it sits. The views are spectacular and the site is on different levels so most pitches do not lose out on the dramatic scenery.
There's a choice of hook-up or non-hook up pitches. Facilities are basic but spotlessly clean and hot water seemed never ending. The disabled cubicle is accessed by a key, provided by the site staff but there is a hefty £20 deposit for the use. This is because keys have not been returned and, because of the remoteness of the area, fuel costs are high for the owner to travel to have new keys cut.
The disabled cubicle is quite small but the two of us still managed to work around each other and certainly, everything required to assist the disabled guest, ie grab handles, are fitted. The cubicle has been recently refurbished and I was reliably informed that the main facilities would be subjected to updating, in the near future. For the keen walker, there are plenty paths to explore in the area although non are wheelchair friendly.
The Spar store, only 5 minutes walk from the site gate, is one of the best stocked village shops I have been in and easily accessible for a wheelchair along a decent footpath. We also visited the Balnakeil Craft Village, approx 1 mile from Durness. Provides lovely refreshments and all buildings appeared to be wheelchair accessible. A third visit to this lovely location would not be out of the question!

Incredible location, and perhaps the finest motorhome pitch in Britain.
Overlooking Sango sands- a golden beach strewn with huge black rocks, a fabulous spot.
Nearby is smoo cave- do visit, and do take the boat trip. Best of all is nearby Balnakeil- do the walk up to Faraid head. There isn't a finer coastal walk in Britain.
Finally warm yourself up with some hot chocolate at cocoa mountain.
Found the site very relaxed, office was open at 6pm so that you could pay for your pitch. But otherwise there didn't appear to be a warden on site.
Facilities were basic, but clean. Showers were free, as was gas for campers.
Only grumble was that the fee charged was more than the price stated on website- and it still hasn't been updated.
I would certainly visit again.

Had 2 nights here, as stated previously very relaxed site. Pick your pitch. Pay at 6pm at reception, however at 5:35 the owner came round in his van as it was raining and he didn't want anyone getting wet.
Amenities a little dated but clean.
On a cliff top with access to a lovely beach.
Pub and restaurant next door but we did not use it. Spar up the hill with everything you will need. Smoo Cave a mile or so up the road.
There is an Army target range further up the coast so be prepared to suffer some distant booming through the day but they also have night manoeuvres.
Whatch the wind, as you are quite high up winds at night can be quite scary !

A well-located site offering welcoming service and good value for money.
This is a very relaxed site. On arrival, I just chose a pitch then went to pay when reception opened at 6pm, and there was no particular hurry to get me out when it was time to leave.
The site has all required facilities, and the toilets and showers are clean, although some of the facilities seem to have been installed for a while. There are enough facilities to avoid queues building up.
There are a bar and restaurant on site, offering good quality bar meals at a reasonable price, and a SPAR shop nearby with a good range of groceries and other goods. There is also a petrol station, but the petrol was probably the most expensive I have ever purchased!
The location is very good, with great views from the campsite, a sandy beach nearby, and lots to see and do in the surrounding area.
This is a site I look forward to returning to.

Nice campsite with great views. Toilet and shower facilities were alright could do with a upgrade and more showers for the amount off people using the campsite, they weren't very warm if you were using them first thing in the morning. Visited smoo cave and it was amazing totally worth the visit it is amazing to see the caves right inside. The bar and restaurant was really nice and very good meal and isnt expensive. Would visit this site again. The beach is absolutely stunning shame it was quite windy while here.

A very laid back style of management on this site but it seems to work as the toilets and showers were clean.
The hook up pitches in the main get the best views being perched on the top of a low cliff, the easily accessible beach below is splendid.
There is a small retail centre perhaps half a mile away situated in what look like old WWII billets where a range of meals can be purchased -look out for 'Chocolate mountain', in the other direction is the stunning 'Smoo cave' free to enter and look around but if you want the tour with its short boat trip its £3

This is a very amazing Campsite as it lays on top of a cliff. It is easy to find as it is right on the main road.
If you come early enough you just pick the nicest spot at the Cliff site and you have the most gorgeous view of a sandy beach.
The reception is only open early in the morning and from 6pm, so if you arrive before or after just pick your spot and pay when the reception is open.
We found the shower and toilet facilities nice and clean. There is only one thing I did not like is, that they don't have recycle bins.
The fee of the site is one of the most cheapest sites I have been and you definite get your value for the money.
