 What can be said about this site, fantastic, the gent who seem to be there 24 hours a day, was very friendly and help full.
Site had great facilities from very clean showers, toilets to a washing drying room. Dish washing area was extremely clean despite the site being really really busy.
Shops in village very well stocked with most things needed. Pitches were well maintained.
Only down site was a tent with no respect for other site users, perhaps in busy periods tents should be shown where to pitch as we were out for the day when he pitched his directly in front of us!
Overall a great site even in driving rain and August wind.

Fantastic site! A friend advised us to go, he'd planned to stay for 2 nights and stayed for 8 he loved it that much. We only had time to stay for two nights but we definitely could've stayed for longer!
Firstly, the gentleman that welcomed us was very cheery and friendly and I believe originally from Uist - it was so nice to hear a such a warm Scottish Hebridean accent on arrival. He was quite relaxed and told us to help ourselves to a pitch wherever we fancied and we were really pleased with the pitch we found - MacLeods Tables to the left, sea to the front and the village to the right = fantastic!
The loo, showers and dishwashing areas were clean and spacious, there were no major queues and the hot water never seemed to run out either! What I did notice however was the smell from the overflow at peak times - but it really isn't unbearable.
We took the drive up to Neist point and sat at the top of the cliffs watching a whale between us and the Outer Hebrides beyond, with the sound and sight of many different seabirds. Although the walk to the lighthouse is not suitable for those with pushchairs or those with difficulty walking it's worth it if you can - but you might be out of puff at the top!
Portree doesn't take too long from the campsite either and it's lovely, don't arrive between 3pm and 5pm or you'll struggle to find something to sit down and eat but if you're brave enough to eat a fish supper outside while dodging seagulls then they're worth it too!
The sunsets from the entrance to the site are really quite something. We loved it and yes we will definitely return!

Wonderful site, great location and staff who can't do enough to help. I would definitely recommend this site. I've now been twice and not been disappointed.
The views over Loch Dunvegan were fantastic and some of the sunsets were spectacular. Quiet and very friendly. We loved it. Owner bent over backwards to accommodate us when we turned up needing not only power hookup, but space for an awning as well.
He also provided an air compressor to blow up my soft tyre. No on-site shop, but a short walk out to the small town and there's a shop, and a couple of restaurants.

We loved this site. A little rough around the edges but views and sunsets to die for. We had a lovely pitch looking straight up the loch. The wardens very friendly and helpful. The toilet blocks very small, basic and dated but clean. The village is a short walk away and had pubs and restaurants and a few shops. We ate at The Old Schoolhouse, they do a great Sunday roast. Would recommend this site.

Beautiful Site in an great spot on Skye. Facilities spotless everything catered for even a communal washing line.
We have never experienced sunsets like these! Nothing is too much trouble the owner is great & very friendly.
The hill up to the site is not to be taken lightly, sign saying 1st gear means 1st gear!ideal base for exploring Skye,
The coral beach is amazing well worth the walk(not too difficult)Neist point is also stunning (not so easy) Dunvegan castle & seal boat trips are well worth the reasonable charge.
We were the first to see the first born seal pup of the season a week early, beautiful!
Fantastic village bakery just outside site. Bacon rolls were brill

Lovely, I wouldn't change a thing. It blew a gale & chucked it down with rain but still didn't spoil the view.
Facilities were spotless & well considered (eg shower curtains inside the cubicle, we stayed on another site where there was no where dry to leave clothes when showering.).
Customer service was excellent, told to camp where we fancied (views were so good that the husband & I spent a few minutes debating the direction to pitch). Warden checked if we wanted to borrow any books, recharge our phones, re-freeze ice packs & checked that we'd got an idea what we were going to do etc.

What a find! Lovely, quiet, well-run campsite. Owners & staff friendly and helpful, lending us some walking books on arrival & even mended our table!
Excellent facilities - always clean and water always hot, no problems with hook-ups - extended leads available if needed. We stayed 5 nights and if work had permitted would have stayed another 5 - hope to come back later in the year & if not definitely next year.
The views are incredible, Dunvegan is a lovely little village & has everything you could need (if you want more choice stop at the supermarket in Broadford on the way through), dog walking literally just through the gate & onto the loch shore.
We really can't praise Kinloch highly enough, it's so peaceful you relax immediately. Thank you for a lovely week - the weather was pretty good too!

A stunning site and well organised but not over regimented. We weren't all parked in straight lines! The facilities were clean and well looked after. Even an outdoor communal washing line with pegs to dry clothes/towels in the breeze. The views across the loch are stunning.
Stayed three nights mid week and found plenty to do. Dunvegan is busy. Cycled up to the Castle (which also has a gift shop - of course - and a pretty good cafe) and further on down the lane to the coral beach. Took the 25 minute boat trip out from the castle to see the seals - always wonder who is watching who! Also saw dolphins / porpoises from the shore and when we told the lady in the TIC she wrote it on the 'Sitings Board'.
Had supper one night at the Old School House, which was very good and is in easy walking distance of the campsite. Had lunch at the Three Chimneys, which isn't in walking distance but the taxi both ways cost £20 for the round trip. The Three Chimneys IS as good as everyone will tell you and not ridiculously expensive.
Visited Skyeskyns for a couple of sheep skin rugs. Everyone there was very friendly although our 'van took up most of their car park and the single track road with passing places didn't encourage us to explore further.
Skye is lovely, Kinloch Campsite is the icing on the cake.

This campsite was excellent and such a relief after we had spent 2 nights in high winds elsewhere at less sheltered campsites, with our tent nearly breaking several times.
This one is very well designed. It is on the loch shore, but for tents the area is well sheltered behind the main house, and they have built up grassy earth banks to make sheltered and private tent pitches, and hedges in position to add extra barriers to wind.
There is also a shelter available in case of emergencies such as tents blowing down or whatever, but we didn't see anyone have to use it.
The spot is gorgeous, most stunning views of the loch and Macleod 'table' mountains.
The weather was very good,whereas poor on the rest of Skye, maybe as the loch is further inland to the island.
Facilities are all there: very good showers, toilets, sink facilities and laundry.
We had two problems while we were at this site: the dryer they have is really poor, it just eats 50p's like Pacman! It would be cheaper to buy new clothes! We got drenched one night and spent all day drying as the dryer is huge but only takes a small amount of clothes and hardly dries them at all for the money. We must have spent about £15 on drying. I would recommend taking pegs and a line to dry!
The cold taps in the toilets are a bit too powerful so you can get splashed badly, and the hot tap doesn't stay on after it is pressed, so some fine tuning is needed to these facilities.
Despite these things, this was one of the best campsites we visited all over Scotland over a 3 week period with 10 different campsites used. We stayed here longer than any other. The staff are very friendly and helpful indeed, excellent!
It's also cheap as they charge £6 per person, no charge for dogs and don't charge you for the type of tent you have.

What a great site! We loved the friendly atmosphere and the helpfulness of the owners. We pitched in a tent for 2 nights and after a visit to Harris went back for a further night.
Great prices (£19.00 for 2 adults, 2 children in 3 tents and 2 dogs). Very clean facilities, hot showers and a great washing (clothes) block. Owner always happy to charge up your mobile, psp, camera, etc for no extra fee.
Lovely position overlooking the loch, with a rocky beach that children love to clamber over. The local village of Dunvegan has a great bakers that serves takeaways on each night (Indian on Thursdays, fish and chips on Tuesdays - all very yummy and good prices).
Would definitely go back to this site.

Stunning views & location at this end of Skye & the campsite. On arrival we picked our spot & paid in the mornings (you can book but we just showed up). Pitches are large enough & you can have a choice of many great views over the loch.
The toilets & showers were good & clean. The washing dishes area was excellent as was the small laundry area indoors. The owner was helpful & obliging.
We paid £17 (incl elec) which we felt was ok value. The site could benefit from a kids play area of some description but other than that - great. The town is easily walked even with young kids & is fine for most requirements. We would recommend this site & would stay again.

WOW, is just about the only way I can some up this camp site. What stunning beautiful views there is to be had and Dunvagen is such a beautiful and quaint town. The toilet and shower facilities are limited but they are very clean and very adequate for what we needed. The camp site as a whole was very well looked after and kept in immaculate condition, and the plots for pitching are relatively flat.
Colin the guy who owns the site was friendly approachable and very helpful. If you don't have the ability to charge your phone you can do so in the offices they have and also re-freeze your freezer packs if necessary.
It gets wet so plenty of waterproofs are a must as is warm kit and more so for night times.
Dunvagen is very central and we found the whole island very accessible from this camp site. We spent 7 nights at this camp site and would gladly go back any time (only without the KIDS so we can go and do some serious walking).

Great site. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Skye. The facilities are very very clean and well maintained. The owner of the site is very helpful and a good laugh.
Dunvegan has loads to offer and is a very beautiful place. The campsite is on the shore of the loch and is a very peachful and quiet area to stay in.
The local shops stock all that you could need for meals etc. The Dunvegan hotel does some lovely food in the main resturant (wouldn't recommend the cellar bar though!)
Will be back again if on the Isle of Skye again.

Lovely site, camped on loch side beautiful sunset. Only able to stay two nights but would stay longer next time. Facilities clean and adequate, would recommend the site any one anyone touring the Isle of Skye to use as a base for the top end of the island.
Short walk into village, shops, pubs, food etc. Available. There is a bakers shop which we did not try but looks good!

We stayed here for the third year on the run this year after falling in love with Skye in 2008. The site is located on Loch Dunvegan in a very picturesque part of Skye right at the foot of McLeod's Tables. It is a quiet, peaceful and friendly site and Colin (the owner) is always happy to help with any queries.
The facilities are excellent, the toilets and showers are always immaculate, as is the dish washing room and laundry. Colin seems to have thought of everything: there are handy bbq stands, a laundry basket which you can use to take you washing to and from the tent/camper van, and even a washing line. You can charge phone/camera batteries, (we even charged our lap top) and freeze your freezer packs and make use of the fridge. There is also local info in reception. You can also use the Highland Wifi facility which is a separate service from the site which you can log onto and pay for through paypal or bank account (£20 for 7 days).
Dunvegan itself has everything: two shops selling groceries/papers, two restaurants, petrol station, tourist info, pubs, and a fantastic bakery that sells fresh bread and delicious cakes and pastries, and also does fantastic breakfast baps! You can walk here in 5 minutes. The castle and coral beaches are also a 10 minute drive away.
This is an excellent campsite that we will keep returning to again and again, and having seen it literally ALL weathers (gloriously hot to recently force 10 gales!) we know it definitely lives up to our expectations! can't wait to return :-)
