Hi All
Myself and a friend are heading up to Scotland later this week and are looking out for camping spots.
We may not use them as we're planning to do a bit of wild camping.
But I'd just like to know where the camping spots are just in case we fancy them.
To start with , I reckon our first night will be in Lochcarron.
I see the "Wee Campsite" will be closed then.
I wondered if anyone has any other ideas of where to camp ?
I thought about asking at one of the pubs there. Maybe they're friendly and have a bit of grass out back ?
Any ideas or info would be welcome.
Thanks.

Re: NC500 Lochcarron Camping opportunities ?
On the road to Shieldarg after the climb out of Lochcarron there are a few places before you get to the Applecross turning. I have wild camped quite close to the junction out sight behind a small mound. BTW although the Wee campsite isn't officially open they often let backpackers camp there I know some who have camped there at Christmas. It is worth a try as you are passing very close.
Should add if you have the energy to go on to Shieldarg the campsite there is always open as it is a village field with an honesty box.

There is your way. There is my way. But there is no "the way".

Been told today that the Shieldarg campsite is closed this year so disregard my previous advice regarding this campsite.

I can confirm that the Shieldaig campsite is closed. I was up there in September and there was a notice that the site was closed for improvement and will be open next year.
I cycled on to the campsite at Torridon.
From memory there were opportunities for wild camping on the way out of Lochcarron.
