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.
