Guys I was able to secure a discounted rate for a camp site in Dornie. It's a jae idea where you park on grass and pitch your tent next to it. They also have hard standing areas on the campsite which we can use if there are no caravans on it.
The plan is to stay here on Saturday night, for the discounted price of £5.50 per head. If you budgeted £50ish for accommodation this leaves lots for fuel!
The tent will be provided, free of charge. I'm looking at getting something that will fit 8 in it, but if you would prefer to bring your own or want me to source one for you it's also no problem.
All you will need it's a sleeping bag and possibly a roll mat they are pretty cheap out of any camping shop. I'm getting one on gum tree for £6 for example.
The campsite has a toilet and shower block which reviews describe as basic and clean.
A short walk from our base past the picturesque castle is the town of dornie where we can find somewhere to eat dinner that night. There is also a local pub where we can sink a couple of jars afterwards.
This time of year trying to get accommodation for all of us somewhere was tough, but this place looks really nice and is an ideal location to split the drive over 2 days.

As you can see, it's pretty scenic and right on the loch.
