 Spent 2 nights here so we could explore the Island (2 adults + 2 kids). Site itself had wonderful views, for us that's where it ended!
Happy to take the money from touring vans and motorhomes but this site has NO elsan toilet waste disposal facilities?? WHY??
Toilet / wash block looks great and blends in nicely with the surroundings. Showers are in desperate need of upgrade as are the toilets, when you turn shower on all your clothes and shoes get soaked as no stool and only 1 coat hook high up above the door. Spiders webs and dust around window ledges etc, nothing a good clean would tidy up and a coat of paint!
When on site the kids got very bored quickly as no play area in campsite. Although plenty of room for one!
I found numerous other sites around the island that I would be more than happy to try before I return here.

A great base if you want to explore the northern Cuillin and only £6 pp/night which gets you free, magnificently hot & powerful showers, access to decent laundry facilities, plus all the usual Scottish delights - midges, mist, rain & often blustery winds.
This fairly level site has the advantage of having the Sligachan Hotel and Seumas' Bar just over the road so you can escape all of these 'delights' if you wish. The Bar has over 370 Scottish Malts, real ales from the brewery next door and serves reasonable food all day.
There are electric hook-ups for motorhomes and others who need this and there is no need to book a place as there's lots of room.
The site is next to a river and does get windy as these funnel up the glen from the SW so nights can be 'exciting' on occasion.

What a lovely site with great views. You couldn't ask for anymore than this, yes its basic, but there is the hotel just over the road for drinks and food if you don't want to cook.
Wife did our laundry here and said everything was great.
Toilet block clean and lots of showers and sinks.
Cost £15 for unit, 2 adults and 1 dog with EHU.
Only down side, no elsan disposal point. Otherwise great value and we will be back.

A wonderful site at the foot of the Cullins with stuning views all around.
The site is very basic, almost wild camping with the luxury of toilets, showers and laundry which were all clean and usable. There are quite a few electric hookups on a hard standing area, though these were very close together and could get a bit crowded when busy. The main road through skye passes the edge of the site but it didn't cause us a problem.
The pub opposite is a must, beer is brewed next door in the Cullin brewery, the food was good, dogs allowed on leads (hooray, at last!) and 350 whiskies to choose from and very friendly staff.
Although we were not here for walking there seemed to be a few trails leading off from near the site. It is also a good stopping point for further exploring to Portree, Dunvegan, Glen Brittle and Talisker.

This campsite sounded promising; an extremely beautiful location with the mountains and the river, excellent position for walking or visiting other parts of Skye. The reality was somewhat different. Yes dramatic mountains, complete with clouds on top. Yes a babbling river, complete with swarms of midges! The weather was too bad to do much walking or touring! (yes I know its a hazard of camping on Skye). Also included is a busy main road (where can they all be going to on such a small island with a low population?!) You also get visited by sheep, who leave fertilizer pellets all over the site.
There are a few electric hook ups, no wifi, no chemical disposal. The facilities block is desperately in need of renovation, plenty of toilets, four showers and plenty of (communal) washbasins. However the surface was peeling off the formica (I think that's what it is all made of), door locks are dodgy, only two showers have curtains, the wooden boards to stand on after a shower are well past their use by date, I decided against risking a shower they looked too grimy.
Round the back of the block is the dish washing area, with little cover and tired looking sinks. The freshwater tap is fairly central on the site but it has a large puddle in front of it, tricky to use unless you are in wellies.
The ground is fairly level but with a lot of stones, difficult for banging in tent pegs and some boggy looking areas. Pitches had not been left clean by previous campers, left over food seemed to have been tipped out onto the grass.
Tents are pitched haphazardly, campers parked anywhere. We only paid £12 for the night, you get what you pay for. We were going to stay for two nights but decide one was enough.
On the plus side the 'roadway' is made of a very light stone so its easy to find your way round in the dark!
We didn't try out the hotel across the road for a hot meal & a drink.
If the facilities were refurbished this would be a great site, until then its mediocre.

Lovely campsite with stunning views of Cuillin. However a major midge spot - got eaten so much we decided to run away after 2 nights. Otherwise a great site with big shower/toilet block, clean (in a need of some refurb), hot water and showers always available. Warden was great, really helpful.
Campsite was always full, with caravans and tents. No disturbances, although it is next to a major road in skye. Could see lots of dogs - all very well behaved. Pub near by has the best selection of whiskeys, although service and food was substandard and some ladies at the bar were very ignorant (but we did have a nice boy serving us one night).
No problems of pitching the tent, but we did have a good choice of a pitch. It was a lovely stay even with the midges all around. Would love to return as the Cuillin hills were stunning.

Beautiful location with a stunning view of the Cuillens! Great pub/ hotel across the road, food was good and reasonably priced.
For whiskey lovers there is the widest range I've ever seen and if you don't like the stuff you'll probably still want to take a photo of the gantry! We did ask for a bottle of wine to take away which was £15 so best bring your own!
Facilities were clean and good showers! Used the laundry too which looked like it's machines were very old but worked fabulously unlike some other places we stayed which had much newer machines!
The lovely man in charge even gave me washing powder which I'd forgotten to buy! We Also had a dog who was made very welcome in site and pub as long as he was kept on the lead and you pick up any mess which I think goes without saying anyway.
Fantastic site as a base for seeing the island or as a stopover, we will definitely be back!

A year on and we decided to return to Skye and stay once more at Sligachan. Father and daughter on a camping trip, while Mum relaxed at home.
Arrived on a dry but very windy day and chose a spot close to where we pitched our tent last year. Bad idea! In future I'd always try sticking a couple of pegs in the ground before starting to pitch the tent.
The tent can normally be erected in 20-30mins but due to the high wind it took us nearly 1. 5hours. Some of this was due to the pegs not wanting to be hammered in to the stony ground.
Once again the warden was very pleasant and helpful, however I'm not sure if the toilets had been cleaned since our last visit, which may seem harsh but unfortunately true. On the plus side, there was plenty of hot water and the showers were always available, so it wasn't all bad.
We'd initially decided to stay for 4 nights but I decided to book 2 nights and see how we felt after that.
As it happened, we found a really nice looking site near Dunvegan and decided to stay there for another 2 nights.
It's unlikely we'd stop at Sligachan again having now sampled a more luxurious site. Albeit twice the price!

This site has a usefully central location on Skye, which is great if touring. The views from the site are amazing and we were pleasantly surprised that the main road situation was not too noisy.
We chose a hardstanding pitch with EHU for our motorhome which was ok but needed ramps to get level and the pitches are quite close together.
The facilities were adequate but could have been cleaner (ladies) and lacked any heating or handwash soap. The site is convenient for the hotel/bar over the road serving good and interesting food.
Being unable to pre-book was not ideal but was not problematic for us in May. A strong negative was that despite our £16 pitch fee there was no chemical disposal point. It was not pleasant to notice one or two people taking their cassettes into the toilet block.
Overall we recommend the site as a convenient short stay stop.

Just back from Sligachan this weekend. This is a site I've passed for many years and to be honest, will continue to do so.
The site is set in a stunning location, no other way to put it although very open to the wind. Shower/toilet block was very clean and spacious with ample washing up sinks outside. The warden was a lovely chap and enjoyed chatting. Hotel over the road was well priced on food serving local ale also and good for the family.
Now for the down side.
This is a beautiful site totally ruined by people turning up through the night with complete disregard to others, cars racing round and doors slamming etc. Two people turned up 12. 30am on Saturday, set up shouting at each other then parked their car 2m from my tent at 1am when the remaining field was empty. They then woke me up at 6am packing away before leaving the site without paying.
I feel the site has a duty to implement some sort of control on this, a barrier is always a good place to start shutting at 10pm followed by key entry on the facilities.
From what I've heard this weekend I am not alone also. Sadly won't be returning.
