Calgary Bay Wild Camping Area

Beautiful beach and bay for swimming & stunning mahair conservation. Donation based camping & public toilets. Can be busy in the summer months but absolutely worthwhile.

This wild camping site relates to a small area opposite the public toilets, for tents and small campervans only. NO CARAVANS OR LARGE CAMPERVANS. Please keep to the area south of the burn and do not camp on the beach or dunes of the bay as a great deal of conservation measures have been invested in the area. The camping spot is for short-stay camping 2-3 NIGHTS ONLY. There is no tapped water, only from burn which can run dry at times.

Perfect spot for my first wild camp, clean public toilets on site and a good mix of families, touring couples, solo travellers. Busy enough to feel you're not alone, but small enough to be peaceful and still feel kinda wild. Grass patch for tents has lovely views over the bay. I forgot to refill my water bottles in Tobermory and had to drink the water from the tap in the loos - there are signs up saying to boil before use, but I had no stove and was still absolutely fine... still best to bring clean water with you though!
