Description
DESCRIPTION
Reraig Caravan & Camping Park is a highly regarded, well-established, and immaculately maintained holiday park set within 2.2 acres of picturesque grounds on the shores of Loch Alsh in the Scottish Highlands. Operating as a limited company and licensed for 40 caravans, the park is efficiently managed remotely by the owner, with two resident wardens living on site who provide 24-hour oversight, ensuring a safe, welcoming, and exceptionally well-presented environment for guests.
The park occupies a strategic location for exploring some of Scotland’s most iconic attractions. The Skye Bridge is just 10 minutes away, providing easy access to the Isle of Skye, while the historic Eilean Donan Castle is only 5 minutes to the east. The charming coastal village of Plockton can be reached within 15 minutes, and the site is ideally positioned as a key stopover for travellers exploring the world-famous North Coast 500 (NC500) route and the West Highlands.
Reraig offers 40 spacious hardstanding pitches, all with the option of electric hook-up (EHU), except for designated tent pitches. The park benefits from modernised infrastructure and high-quality facilities, including contemporary toilet and shower blocks, washing-up areas, chemical waste disposal points, and disability-accessible amenities. Guests also enjoy convenient access to local services, with a railway station, supermarkets, pubs, and restaurants all within a five-minute drive. A village convenience store is located directly opposite the site, while a restaurant and bar are situated adjacent to the park. In addition, an on-site food van provides convenient catering for guests and generates supplementary rental income for the business through a pitch rental agreement with the operator.
Surrounded by stunning Highland scenery and within easy walking distance of the shoreline, Reraig Caravan & Camping Park attracts visitors seeking both short stopovers and extended stays.
The property also benefits from planning in principle for cabin development, presenting future growth opportunities alongside its established tourism business.

LOCATION
Reraig Caravan & Camping Park is located at Balmacara, near Kyle of Lochalsh, Ross-shire, IV40 8DH, on the shores of Loch Alsh in the West Highlands of Scotland. Positioned on the A87, the principal route to the Isle of Skye, the site occupies a highly strategic trading location and serves as a key stopover point for visitors touring the region.
The park benefits from strong passing trade generated by the world-famous North Coast 500 (NC500), Scotland’s premier touring route which attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. Its location also makes it a popular overnight stop for travellers heading to and from the Isle of Skye, one of Scotland’s most visited tourist destinations, as well as those exploring the West Highlands.
The Skye Bridge is approximately 10 minutes' drive to the west, providing direct access to the island, while Eilean Donan Castle, one of Scotland’s most iconic landmarks, is located just 5 minutes to the east. The attractive coastal village of Plockton is around 15 minutes to the north, with local amenities, transport links, shops, pubs and restaurants available in nearby Kyle of Lochalsh.
PUBLIC AREAS
The site extends to approximately 2.2 acres and is accessed via a clearly signposted gated entrance from the road, providing secure and controlled access.
Internally, it benefits from a well-planned one-way system that allows for efficient and safe circulation throughout the site. The layout is well organised, comprising a combination of tarmac roadways and grassed areas.
The site is further enhanced by mature trees, which provide a high level of privacy and a well-established landscaped setting.
Wardens/Reception Office
On site, there is a prefabricated, plastic, insulated unit measuring approximately 2.3m x 2.3m. The unit is fitted with a UPVC door and window and is suitable for small-scale office or operational use. The office benefits from Starlink WiFi, providing reliable high-speed internet connectivity for business operations, and is furnished with a desk and two chairs.
Facilities Block and Scullery
There is a separate, well-maintained toilet and shower block providing clearly designated male and female facilities. The amenities are clean, functional, and suitable for year-round seasonal use.
The building also includes a scullery area with a sink for hand-washing clothes and tourist information for guests. The block is supported by solar panels, contributing to improved energy efficiency and reduced running costs on site.
SERVICES
The site is connected to mains water and mains drainage. Electricity is supplied via a three-phase connection.
