Camping at Inverie

Looking to head out to Knoydart next year for a few days and looking to camp out, as accommodation is few and far between. Can anyone recommend a descent spot at Inverie. What does everyone else do as there doesn't seem a be a great deal of affordable accommodation.

Re: Length of Ice Axe

When i bought mine i was told that holding it beside your leg the tip should be near your ankle.
If i remember there were only 3 different lenghths to choose from.
Great piece of kit though at this time of year.
