Date of Visit: April 2017 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Catarinabod 84 reviews from this member

 Had 1 night here before moving on to Portree on whistle-stop tour of Skye. Friendly welcome. Lent us a hook-up extension cable. Site not busy so given a waterside pitch looking down the loch. Good advice given re walks. Visited castle via a wooded walk which cut off some of the road. Saw seals in the sheltered waters by the castle. Returned via millennium monument for views. Indoor potwash room. Shower/toilets a little dark and dated, but clean. Great location and value for money. Walking distance of village shops.

 One of our favourite sites on our tour of Scotland, booked for one night stayed for three. Run by a lovely helpful young couple, they are off cleaning the facilities between 12 and 2. 30 but there is a sign on the desk telling you to choose any pitch without a reserved sign and pay when they come back to the office. There are 25 hard standings looking down the Loch, all level and well spaced with beautiful views. The toilets and showers are modern and spotless, there is a very well equipped and reasonably priced laundry room, plus a good kitchen with washing up sinks. It is a 15 min level walk into the village which has a pub (good food reasonably priced and allows dogs in the room at the front), cafes, bakery and a small general store, opposite which is a tin shed which is a really good grocers who even have gluten-free bread and extremely good jams. There are some lovely walks from the site, including to the castle, you can get all the details from reception. The only slight drawback was the poor TV reception although phone and internet were both fine. Would we stay here again? Absolutely.

 What a find on our first visit to Skye, a lovely site at end of Dunvegan Loch, with superb views down the loch length from our pitch alongside the water. A very warm welcome from the owners in their first full season, chatty, informative and extremely helpful. As stated by others, the village has many 'local' facilities. In our five day stay on Skye, we visited Dunvegan Castle, Skye main town Portree, and a full day touring round top north east corner of island, Old Man of Storr, Staffin, the Aird of Skye, Uig etc. , a lovely circular drive in what for this time of year was fantastic weather. Another visit to nearby Neist Point lighthouse. He island. I can strongly recommend this site.

Reviewer: Nickyakeroyd 1 review from this member

 This is one of the best campsites we have ever stayed on.

The new owners are welcoming and helpful ( including lending us a hook up cable when I managed to destroy ours)

Most of the pitches are level and well-spaced.

The site is alongside the loch and is very peaceful.

Good loo block and hot showers.

A 15 minute walk into the small town with bakery, post office, grocery store, petrol station and castle all nearby.

Would definitely recommend it especially for walkers - we didn't need to move our camper for a few days as there were plenty of walks straight from the site.

Reviewer: Ayrshireman 22 reviews from this member

 Another return to a campsite with great facilities and a fine location which I've enjoyed in the past. However it is unlikely that I will return. I was made to feel less than welcome by the person at reception, who greeted me with a list of prohibitions. This in stark contrast to the reception I have had in the past. Had it been earlier in the day I would have gone elsewhere. My 'welcome' may have been an exception, but, if not, a better attitude is needed to encourage folk to return. Possibly the first time ever that I have not had a comment along the lines of 'Hope you enjoy your stay. '

Reviewer: LizzieL 5 reviews from this member

 We booked earlier on in the year which was lucky as the site was full booked on arrival. Check in was quick and the owner provided information about the site and village amenities.

Our pitch over looked the Loch and had stunning views. Although the site was busy there was still room between pitches and the layout meant that the majority of the pitches also had amazing views.

Showers and toilets did get quite busy and at times we had to queue but were clean.

Wifi was available near to the office but with the number of people trying to access it was very slow.

We enjoyed a visit to Dunvegan Castle & gardens (approx 30min walk from the site), and paid the additional fee for the seal trip which was great fun and we were lucky enough to see around 100 seals!

Around 4 miles further on from the castle is the white coral beach, with clear blue water it's worth a visit.

In Dunvegan itself we visited the Old School House restaurant, which whilst not cheap served fabulous seafood and was definitely worth the treat.

All in all I would recommend both the site and Dunvegan and will hopefully return in the future.

 Busy site, very friendly and helpful owners. The site is right by the water and so lovely views of the loch and surrounding hills.

Good, clean facilities. Insects were sometimes a bit intrusive. Free WiFi through Purple Portal, only available around the reception area - in the evening you need to cover up if you are standing still for too long because of the midges.

Dunvegan is a quiet village but has a good choice of places to eat. The castle is at the opposite end of the village, about 1. 5 miles away; we enjoyed our visit there very much.

Reviewer: Bikerhiker 16 reviews from this member

 Beautiful location, my second site after moving from Glen brittle. I much preferred this site as it was quieter although quite a few people here. Excellent facilities though timing is important as there are queues at popular times. The view over the loch with the sunset fabulous! Loved the nearby restaurant and bakery top quality food. Reservation vital. Dunvegan is a lovely little village with a shop, garage, post office (ATM) and pub plus several B & B's I would stay here again.

Reviewer: S-and-G 10 reviews from this member

 The view from the campsite is pretty amazing, it is just a shame that motorhomes have all the front-row pitches, tents pitches being on the small hill behind. The view remains great, but with motorhomes on the foreground. We discovered too late that there is a 'hidden' tent pitch in a small basin ahead of the motorhomes.

The toilet/shower block is almost perfect. I just regret the shower water being too hot, and each time we came in some random water taps were stuck letting water flow.

Dish-washing room if perfect. There is also a washing-machine and a dryer.

We would enjoy coming back.

Reviewer: Grumpycat 5 reviews from this member

 After tour of outer Hebrides stayed here for couple of nights. Steep sharp entrance road with right turn at top, sign advised 1st gear and it needs it! Well organised, gravel pitches with decent amount of turning room, good views over estuary. Near to Dunvegan Castle and about 20miles from Portree. Shower block of reasonable size- 4 ladies showers, may get busy if site was full. Showers clean and tidy but push button type so have to keep pressing button, water temperature for me was just warm. Not the hottest of days but still bitten by midges so go prepared. Close to local shops and cafes- 10 mins walk or so.

Wi-Fi is pay by use with Highland Wi-Fi but connection is good

 What a fantastic site right on the shore line on the outskirts of Dunvegan We had an electric hook up with the water only a few feet away from us at high tide, the weather during our stay was superb also making our stay all that more enjoyable. The toilet and shower block is fairly new and is the highest level of cleanliness which we could not fault. Dunvegan village is a 10 minute walk away and a couple of good shops and two Fish & Chip shops we sampled some from the bakery Shop reputed to be the oldest bakery in Skye and well recommended. Dunvegan castle and grounds are 3 miles away and worth a visit we walked. Finally take hike up the hill just outside the village and you will be treated to a superb view.

 Wonderful site. Friendly helpful owners. Parked next to the beach and watched tides and sunsets! Great for walks and cycling to Gatehouse of Fleet. This is such an interesting and up spoilt part of the world and was our first venture with our motorhome to Scotland. Recommend the lower field for closeness to the beach. Clean showers and loos accessible to both levels. This site has a good atmosphere- not too formal or regimented as some we found further into our trip but with enough facilities to make it comfortable. We will go again.

Reviewer: Cranky 14 reviews from this member

 Lovely relaxed site right on the waters edge. Toilets/showers looked excellent although we don't tend to use them often. The walk to the village is about 20 mins but nice enough. Dunvegan Castle 10 minute drive. I wont bother to list all the wildlife spotted but the visit was worth it just to see a pair of white tailed eagles which apparently are regulars. If peace and quiet is what you want then this is the place.

 Hi,

I have visited three different camping site in Isle of Skye. I found this camping site was the best one. I would refer the camping site on the following reasons:

1. Good View from Camp Site.

2. There is petrol station near from the Camp site.

3. Dunvegan Castle.

4. Good for fishing.

5. Friendly staffs.

6. Larger estate.

It was fantastic camping site.

Reviewer: Walters-world 13 reviews from this member

 A nice quiet campsite with a superb new shower block. We had pitch 1 with electric hook up facing the loch. The site had a lot of gravel hardstandings making part of it look a bit like a car park, but our pitch was near the tent camping area and we faced away from the rest of the site so it wasn't too bad.

I spoke to 2 different people in the reception at different times who were both helpful and informative and one even phoned the local cafe who did a small takeaway service, for me, to see if they were still open (they weren't, so it was soup again!).

We only stayed one night so did not use any facilities in the local area.

I would stay here again when we next come to Skye.
