Title: Camping sites close to Kyloe etc
Post by: Sloper on November 03, 2009, 04:36:57 pm

Anyone got any good tips, even stretching to bunkhouses.......

Criteria, must be near a good pub, no need for showers or anything like that.

How close is close? Walking distance?

After exploring just about every campsite in the area, we use use this one most of the time now

Got pissed off with paying a fortune for camping, having campsites overrun with noisy poultry, regimented C&C sites run by mini Hitlers etc.

This one is laid back, clean and quiet, cheap, has basic but adequate washing up and washing facilities and has a lovely beach next door. Only downside is there is no pub in walking distance.

That's probably the key requirement a good pub within walking distance.

Nice one Cofe, I just have to pursuade the other tards that this makes sense on every level.
