The first thing you hear at The Wee Campsite is silence — proper Highland silence — broken only by the bleat of sheep on the hillside and the distant rush of burns tumbling toward Lochcarron's sheltered sea loch.

This is a spot for folk who want simplicity with a view: tent pitchers who pack light, campervan tourers working their way up the North Coast 500, and anyone travelling with dogs who need space to roam. You're on the doorstep of Wester Ross, where the mountains meet the sea and the single-track roads wind through some of Scotland's most dramatic coastal scenery. It suits couples after a quiet base for hillwalking or kayaking, and anyone happy to trade facilities for the kind of peace you can't buy further south.

Expect electric hook-ups if you need them, a genuinely warm welcome for four-legged friends, and the possibility of a campfire — ask when you arrive, as conditions vary. The vibe is low-key and off-grid in spirit, even with the hook-ups: no frills, no crowds, just you and the landscape. Lochcarron village is a short walk for supplies, but most evenings you'll want to stay put and watch the light fade over the water.

Strome Woodland Trail

Meanders through peaceful mixed woodland above Loch Carron with gentle inclines and well-maintained paths. Suitable for families with older children who can manage uneven forest terrain, though buggies won't cope with tree roots and narrow sections. Dogs welcome on leads. Offers lovely lochside glimpses through the trees and a proper Highland woodland atmosphere without the leg-burning climbs of nearby munros—ideal for an hour's escape into nature.

Walking route
7.23 km from campsite

Cape Wrath Trail (Glomach-Killian-Bendronaig)

Tackles rugged Highland terrain with steep, unrelenting climbs through remote glens and over high passes between Glomach and Bendronaig. Strictly experienced hikers only—exposed scrambles, river crossings, and navigation skills essential. Not suitable for families, young children, or buggies. Dogs welcome but must be fit and confident on rough ground. Rewards with raw wilderness, dramatic waterfalls near Glomach, and complete solitude in one of Scotland's wildest corners.

Cape Wrath Trail (Bendronaig → Strathcarron → Kinlochewe)

Tackles seriously rugged Highland terrain with steep, sustained climbs through remote glens and over high passes – definitely not suitable for buggies or young children. Dogs welcome but must be fit and experienced on rough mountain paths. Rewards capable walkers with epic wilderness scenery, dramatic river crossings, and that rare feeling of true Scottish remoteness between historic droving routes and ancient Caledonian pine remnants.
