Achmelvich is difficult to beat for camping.

tayvialich (carradale)

good campsite, magic popular seafood restraunt, Tayvialich Inn (book before you go just in case) & bonny ,(very quiet but good for one night) & nice bit of road between Bellanoch & Tayvialich. Midgies can be Murder.

Looking for somonewhere we can have a big fire, drink beer, not pester anyone. Do not really go for actual campsites.

Balahulish loop has a few nice wee spots.

Are you looking for somewhere beside the road?

Sanna Bay in Ardnamurchin is good. Or just over the Corran Ferry beside Loch Linnhe there is a few goiod spots.

If you are happy to treck a bit to get there try Sandalwood Bay..

Or I know of a couple of other good camp-sites that require a hike too....

Beside the road on a beach, might be after some wooded cover should weather take a turn. Balahulish is prime but want to go somewhere new.

Will autoroute the above suggestions as not wanting to drive for more than 2.5 hours.

If you camp at Achmelvich campsite you can do all the fire, drinking, being alone stuff on the beach which is two walk minutes from the Tents.
