Every so often we have a snatched opportunity to get away in one of our own campervans... and checking our 'In-Out' schedule this weekend, we realised we could pack a van on Friday, look after some customers on Friday evening, then zoom off early on Saturday and get back for late Sunday afternoon. Van packed, family in, and it was off up the A9, across the Laggan road to Ft William, then the stunning drive down 'Harry Potter Valley' (aka Glenn Finnan) to see our pals Julie & Ian at Sunnyside Croft in Arisaig.
We often recommend Julie & Ian and their fab new site at Arisaig, and for very, very good reasons! There are lots of sites at Arisaig, but Julie & Ian took the great step last year of setting up a brand new 37-pitch site on their croft right by the gorgeous sandy beaches at the bottom of their land. They've done an amazing job, with a lovely eco-friendly shower/loo/facilities block, a great wee shop with local produce (but sensibly not trying to compete with the Spar in Arisaig village), very generous pitch sizes... I do so hate it when sites try and cram you together!. Most importantly, Julie & Ian major on friendly and genuine customer service, which is almost (almost!) as good as Big Tree Campervan's !!!. The views out to Skye, Rum and Eigg are awesome, and the beaches could be in the Seychelles.... It's still April of course, so no swimming (yet), but superb pottering around rock-pools and wading across sand bars to fun wee islands, then back to a cosy campervan (heating on full blast in the icy wind!) for a meal, then a movie on the DVD player.
So, all in all, an excellent snatched wee trip away!
