The name Acharacle, derived from the Gaelic “Ath Tharracail,” translates to Torquil's fjord, a reference to a historical battle that occurred in 1120 along the River Shiel.

Adventurous guests can take advantage of boat hire and cruises on Loch Shiel and Loch Sunart, with opportunities for whale and bird watching, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers.
Just a short 10-minute drive from the caravans lies the beautiful Artoe beach, or visitors can opt for a scenic walk to the enchanting Singing Sands. The area is also home to historical sites such as the ruins of Dorlin Castle, known as Castle Tioram, located nearby. For those seeking indoor activities on less favorable weather days, the Ardnamurchan Lighthouse, the most westerly point of the British mainland, is a must-visit, alongside stops at the Adelphi Distillery and the Glenmore Natural History Centre.
For a taste of local culture, guests can venture to Glenfinnan, famous for its steam train, often referred to as the “Harry Potter train,” and visit the Monument dedicated to Bonnie Prince Charlie. The caravans are designed for comfort, making them an excellent choice for group bookings, as additional static caravans are available on-site.
