Reviews described Glenbrittle as one of the most beautiful and best campsites in the British Isles,…read moreand, true to their word, in the sunshine, it was indeed pretty spectacular. The Black Cuillin Hills loom ominously and magnificently on one side, Glenbrittle beach lies directly ahead of the campsite and to the rear are wildlife-filled pine forests and the famous Fairy Pools. At only £5pp a night, with access to toilets, showers, the site shop, water sources, and a spacious field filled with cheeky rabbits during the night, Glenbrittle was a wonderful place to be. The location of the site is the key to its success, but also its only downfall. Being at the end of a valley means Glenbrittle stands in the centre of a huge wind tunnel, and when the gales pick up, so does your tent! Ours survived one night in 40mph gales but might not have lasted much longer. Some others didn't fair so well... An energetic 2/3hr walk will take you half way up to the Sgurr Alasdair (The Cuillin's highest point at 992m), and to its mysterious little Lochan and waterfall. A short drive away you will find Skye's tasty Taslisker Distillery and the little town of Portree. I would recommend this site to anybody!

Easily the best campsite I've ever been to…read more If there were an, ERM, app...that designed campsites based on personalities and preferences...Glenbrittle would probably pop up as my *dream match*. 90%+ compatibility! Meant to be, Glenbrittle and me! The Isle of Skye is gorgeous, so the campsite already has the surrounding beauty going for it. Otherwise, though, here are the key components that speak to me: - hot showers - fantastic coffee (a barrista on-site who makes delectable flat whites? Nothing says "camping is ok" after a chilly windy night than AM flat whites to warm the body and soul) - BREAD BAKED TO ORDER! BREAD BAKED TO ORDER YOU GUYS! Take that flat white, and level up with a loaf of seeded sunflower bread and a 1/4 lb. of butter. Sit by Glenbrittle beach and revel in how amazing caffeine, hot carbs and salted fat can be in combination. Yelp note: no phone service or wifi, which might cause immediate anxiety but - trust - is relaxing as soon as you settle into it.

We had an awesome 2 nights-stay in a wigwam in May 2013…read more First, the owners are one of the nicest persons I ever met during a trip. DO NOT READ the old reviews on tripadvisor! The owners have changed and they really suffer from the bad reputation of the previous owner. The wigwams are huge, I think they can fit 4 or 5 people. It's a real palace when you're just 2! They are also very well equipped: microwave, fridge, kettle, tea pot and mugs, pillows, blanket, sleeping bags, fresh fruits, Isle of Skye guide. It's definitely the best wigwam we've stayed in during our trip. Next to the wigwams there is a common house with a nice living room (sofas, tables & chairs, society games, books) and a big kitchen with everything you need to cook. Really it was like staying at home! The bathrooms are small but clean (nothing exceptional on that side). The price was £30/night for 2 persons (in the same range as other wigwams in Scotland, but with much more comfort and amenities!). The place is close to the Talisker distillery (5 min by car). Next to the distillery there is a pub/restaurant (the Old Inn: great food and nice atmosphere!). If you want to go to the Old man of Storr, it's 30-45 min away by car. I would definitely recommend to stay here if you plan to go to the Isle of Skye! (except if you don't have a car, you should stay closer to Portree).

Camusdarach is campsite heaven. It really can't get any better than this…read more It's in between Mallaig and Arisaig, and is backed by beautiful sand dunes and beaches, with plenty of rocks to scramble over, and lovely views. On arrival, we couldn't have been given a warmer welcome by our very genial host, who greeted us like long-lost friends, and we were made to feel at home. We were given a map, which was actually very useful given the size of this spacious site. We then had a look round the facilities. Oh my - luxury, proper luxury! The washing and shower block is something else - decorated to a higher spec than a lot of hotels. It's all grey slate and fancy taps. The shower heads are the large rainforest ones (or whatever they're called), and the shower was a good temperature. The site has every facility that you might need - flat pitches for motor homes, chemical toilet disposal point, grey water disposal point, electric hook ups, laundry, recycling points, free wi-fi, and other facilities such as a shop and cafe. They will even re-freeze freezer blocks for you, or re-charge phones or batteries for you if you aren't on electric hook up. We also noticed that they had a 'glamping pod', and that they take a very environmental approach to their facilities, with eco-friendly and sustainability being a high priority. But the best thing was the chemical toilet disposal point. I'm being serious, it was fantastic. Now this is the part of motor-homing that no-one enjoys. But what they have done here is turned it into a quirky and fun feature. The disposal point is located in an old fashioned style outside toilet cabin. Inside, there is a gigantic stainless steel toilet pan (sparkling clean) for your waste, and they have continued the theme with a ceramic cistern and old fashioned pull chain. They have even kept their touch of luxury going with a slate tiled floor. In having the consideration and creativity to create this eccentric little feature, what they have managed to do is make the most hated job actually good fun. It's a touch of brilliance in what is already a very classy campsite.

It's everything you would expect a campsite to be. There are places to camp or park your vehicle,…read morebathrooms with showers, etc. At night it was pretty quiet, and the restaurants in town are an easy walk away. The only bad part about this campsite is basically that you have to share it with humanity. Around 7 AM people's kids started freaking out and crying. Never a nice way to start the day! So basically, expect a big field covered with campers and no privacy between sites and you won't be disappointed.

We couldn't believe our good fortune when we stumbled upon this campsite, on the recommendation of…read moresome fellow motor homers we had met at a different site. It is modern and absolutely immaculate, with fantastic facilities. I was very very happy to find a heated and cosy bathroom area, with lovely shower cubicles, and hot hot hot showers! The inside section is all magnolia walls and pine wood, with homely little touches like a little VW campervan ornament and such like. It looks brand new, was spotless and very well maintained.There was a hairdryer and even hair straighteners! They really have made a huge effort to make it welcoming and cosy, and with those little touches they really have thought of everything. It's just south of Carinish village, North Uist and is just off the main road, A865. The site has flat pitches for motor homes and overlooks a tidal bay with views of Benbecula and South Uist. There's also a bunkhouse if you don't have your own accommodation with you, and a very sweet traditionally styled outhouse building with kitchen facilities of washing machine, tumble drier, sinks, microwave and dining table. There are electrical hook up points, water for refilling your motor home, recycling points, and chemical toilet disposal points. We couldn't find a grey water disposal point, which was a bit surprising, so there maybe is one and we just didn't notice. They also had free wi-fi! Given that I had not a single G never mind 3G or 4G for days, this was very welcome. The view is not outstanding, but it is still very beautiful, and we very much enjoyed our stay here.

We had heard good things about Kilbride campsite, and we weren't disappointed…read more It's immaculate, it looks almost brand new and it's well maintained. It's almost clinical! Everything is white and shiny and brightly lit. Imagine a hospital wanted to build a campsite - Kilbride would be it. Surprising for a campsite, but we were very pleased to find such a great site, right down at the bottom of South Uist. It has great facilities for a motor home - flat pitches, which are staggered so that every pitch has a view out to sea, which is very considerate. There's electric hook-ups, grey water disposal, chemical toilet disposal, fresh water point, and recycling points. The showers (three cubicles) were clean, and nice and powerful and hot, and the area was nicely heated. Ahhh..... We used the kitchen too, just to get a break from the confined space of the motor home. It was well equipped, with 2 sinks, microwave, fridge, washing machine and tumble drier. There was a dining table too, which made for a civilised breakfast. Very handily, Kilbride have also built a cafe on site. I imagine this is heaven for the weary and hungry camper. I didn't eat anything, having just a quick look at the menu, and it seemed standard fayre - hot breakfast rolls, macaroni and chips, perfect for carb loading. There's a lovely little beach just across the road, and a place next door that sells eggs from the hens roaming about their garden, home made products such as jams and lemon curd, as well as crafted wool items.
