2026 Open Date

Quick Read Campsite Summary

A small golden beach sits directly beside Tigh-Na-Mara Campsite, giving this family-run site near Arisaig its distinctly coastal character. Reached along a quiet single-track road, it looks towards the Small Isles and Skye, with uninterrupted sea views from the front pitches. The atmosphere is quiet and laid-back, with the beach offering access for wild swimming and launching your own kayak when conditions are suitable.

Accommodation includes fully serviced hardstanding pitches for campervans, a large, flat grass area for tents and a couple of glamping pods. There are modern toilets, showers and a washing-up area, and dogs are welcome. Campfires are permitted provided they are raised off the grass. Arisaig village is around two miles away, with a shop, restaurant and bar, so it is worth planning supplies rather than expecting village facilities on the doorstep. Bookings are made directly by email; payment is by cash or bank transfer.

For days away from the beach, Mallaig offers boat trips and ferry connections. Further afield, Glenfinnan combines railway history with walking: its 21-arched viaduct carries the West Highland Railway across the River Finnan and is recognisable from the Harry Potter films. A four-kilometre circular walk links the local paths, with viewpoints taking in the viaduct, Glenfinnan Monument and Loch Shiel. Some sections have steps and can be slippery, making this a separate outing to plan rather than a stroll from the campsite.
