About Isle of Rum Bunkhouse Campsite
Located on the Isle of Rum and opened in 2014 this semi-wild feel campsite is a great base to explore the rugged island terrain, or just relax on the beach with a couple of cold beers from the island general store. The island is accessible via the short CalMac ferry crossing from Mallaig where you will find the bunkhouse and campsite a short walk from the ferry terminal. There is a large open grass area for tents, outside washing up area (with stunning views) and a shelter / otter watching hut and solar power USB ports for charging your devices. Toilets and showers are provided around 200m from the campsite (be advised access to the bunk house is not possible for campers). A short walk from the campsite is the General Store where you will find all your camping needs including alcohol. Be aware that you can’t take your car to the island and the ferry is pedestrian access only, for those arriving by private boat there are moorings available in the bay. Along with the campsite are various glamping pods and for those looking for something bigger, the bunkhouse offers a lounge and kitchen along with the bedrooms.
