Overview
Camusdarach Camping & Caravan is a licensed campsite on the Road to the Isles between Arisaig and Mallaig. The operator publishes hardstanding electric pitches for motorhomes, campervans and caravans, with a maximum vehicle length of 8m and grass awning space alongside. Tent pitches are also available, but the operator states that campervans and caravans are not permitted on those pitches. Published facilities include a toilet and shower block, laundry, washing-up areas, site-wide Wi-Fi, a water point, chemical-toilet disposal and recycling. For 2026, the campsite is published as open from 1 May to 15 September, and the operator advises booking ahead, particularly in peak periods. Paths through dunes lead from the site towards three beaches. Check current availability and arrival arrangements before travelling: standard arrival is 1pm-7pm, later arrival only by prior agreement, and departure is by noon.

Local rules
Arrivals are from 1pm to 7pm; later arrivals must be arranged in advance. Leave by noon, keep to 10mph, use your allocated pitch and keep tracks clear. Dogs must stay on leads and be cleaned up after; generators and drones are not allowed. Fires and barbecues must be raised off the ground.
