Visited this site during the Easter break, so it was quite cold.
We arrived on Skye and used this site on the mobiles to find a place for the evening. Called John on the site and he gave us directions just outside Portree.
On arrival just so that you are aware to gain entrance there is a narrow bridge, that have to admit looked like something out of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' so we crossed over, crossing our fingers and toes - all good! ( If you have a big unit I would call first)
John was on site and greeted us, (he is normally there between 5pm - 6pm). We could park anywhere and we did, the views here are quite stunning, albeit the wind does come right up the valley.
There are two shower blocks, because it was early in the season only one was open. The only thing that I would say is when its cold its cold there is no heating in this shower block, so it is a quick in and out. However, all spotless and perfect working order.
We had a problem with our electric and couldn't get it to work (which I've now sorted John only charged fees for no electric. What a gentleman.
Would I go back ? 100% YES

The site is located a couple of miles from Portree. We were charged £12 a night for the two of us and a tent. Most of the grass tent pitching area slopes although a there are a few flatter areas. A small conifer wood along the Western perimeter gives some shelter. The wash rooms are ok. We both found the shower cubicles somewhat drafty although the water was nice and hot. Yet again the shaver sockets were damaged. No shop. You can walk into town along pavements all the way or there is an alternative route through Torvaig and then down over the cliffs.
There is a small Co-op store in the town centre and also a much larger store just out of town. Portree is a quite a tourist centre and comes with the associated gift shops, pubs and restaurants.
From here the Old Man of Storr and The Storr itself make for interesting climbs and the geological formations further North on the Trotternish (Quirang etc) are easily accessible. The Mealt waterfall, Kilt rocks and Staffin beach dinosaur foot prints are also worth a visit.
We can recommend the Glenview restaurant at Culnacnoc, South of Staffin for food (approx. £36 head) but book in advance.
An good site for visiting Portree and the Trotternish peninsula. Shame about the sloping pitches.

This site is just outside of Portree just off of the main road. The site is sloping, with some level standings for campers and caravans but harder to find totally level ground for a tent. We pitched up near an electric hook up, and on a slope - which found us both on the same side of the tent in the morning!
However it is a very pleasant site with good views of the Cuillins, assuming you can see them cos we couldn't! There are a limited number of electric hook ups on one side of the site. There is wifi available for a fee. There are two toilet blocks, only one open as it was late in the season.
The facilities were clean, but utilitarian with stainless steel sinks & all pipework exposed, no private cubicles for washing. There are two showers, one includes the diabled toilet. The shower is a press button one, which only runs for a couple of minutes at a time, there is no curtain so water splashes onto clothes & all the floor is wet so nowhere dry to stand when getting dressed, no stool to sit on either.
This site on a hillside which catches the wind! We were lucky not to be blown away!
Portree is just down the road and worth a visit, especially as there is no shop on site.
Despite having atrocious weather during our stay I would return as it is generally a good site in a good location.

Just back from a 4 night stay at this site,
Site is on a slight slope but never caused an issue good facility's and never ending hot water which is always a plus.
Site is a 20 min walk from the centre of portree which has a good range of bars/restaurants great location for visiting the rest of the island
Wardens were friendly and helpful
Would recommend this site and will be going back here on our next trip to Skye

A very nice site.
Great views of the Cuillins.
Sloping site but managed to level up reasonably well.
Toilets, showers and pot wash clean with plenty of hot water.
Really good value for money cost us £15 for the night for 2 adults plus electric hook up. Wardens very friendly. Needed to pay cash so had to nip to Portree to get some - no problem really.
A short drive from the site is the Old Man of Storr.
Hike up as far as you can and you will be rewarded with the most amazing views.
This is a great campsite and the Isle of Skye is breathtakingly beautiful.

Lovely site, very welcoming.
It's 1 mile outside Portree (the largest settlement on Skye), so the town is within walking distance.
It's a popular site, with a variety of touring units and campers. It's an active site, but not busy or noisy.
From the site you can see the Black Cuillin, so if you get a nice evening, you can take in the view. If you go to the top of the site, you can also see up to the Old Man of Storr.
Skye is spectacular, and this site is a good base to head out around the island.
They don't take payment when you arrive. Quirkily, a very friendly, soft-spoken young Scotsman does the rounds in the morning to collect the money and gives you the weather forecast :-)
Good value too at £15 for motorhome, 2 adults and EHU.
