 A super location, tucked away off the A87 behind the Chocolate Shop (briefly closed for renovation) alongside the Shiel River, with views of the surrounding mountains. We never saw the Warden but a friendly staff member spoke to us on arrival and recommended a walk along the river.
There are hardstanding pitches, a separate field for tents and a small building with decent facilities. The laundry has washers and driers (pay in honesty box) and the kitchen is equipped for tent campers, with a microwave, a water boiler for hot drinks and a ‘Donation Station – Help Yourself’ where portable food, books and maps are left out. There is also a covered picnic area.
No negative comment except that £38 (demanded in advance with no refunds) is a high price in low season. There is no TV signal and no site WiFi.

Stunning location surrounded by mountains on all sides.
Nice walks from campsite. Staff very helpful and friendly.
Lovely chocolate cafe 50m away. Large pitches, hard standing.
Particularly good for tent campers as there is an open shelter and some kitchen facilities.
Toilet block very dated and needs major improvement. Plenty of hot water though.
Price should be lower to allow for this.

Lovely small camp in the mountains.
A beautiful setting, next to a river. Heated bathrooms that have been renovated.
There is a great Hot Chocolate Shop at the entrance to the camp which is very popular.

We had one lovely night at this little gem of a campsite. It is small and perfectly formed, with a small well kept facilities block.
It looked as though a laundry area was about to be fitted and they have lots of washing lines at the side of the block, which could prove very useful.
There was a little camp kitchen with microwave and sinks with hot water and a great covered seating area, which backpackers or motorcyclists would find very welcome in wet weather.
Our pitch was spacious and the site is surrounded by beautiful mountain views, with tracks leading right from the site.
They have even set up a pine martin feeding station. I would definitely recommend this site, but also want to keep it a secret so it doesn't get too busy!

A super site which the new owners have invested in. The toilets and showers have been updated and are kept so clean by the warden.
Lovely and peaceful with great views and hillwalking off the site.
The new owners have also unblocked the chemical disposal point which was previously blocked for years and have now attached a hose which is helpful. But the chemical disposal point does need replaced. The walls around the emptying point are falling down and it is totally backbreaking to empty the toilet into this.
It is a good site for tents.
Kintail Craft shop sells groceries.
Eat at the Kintail Pitstop or Kintail Hotel.
The Chocolates of Glenshiel shop next to the site does the most brilliant chocolates, hot chocolate and gifts.

A small campsite, perfectly placed for hikers and hillwalkers, lots of munros, corbetts, grahams and flatter walks within a very short drive, some can even be done from the campsite itself.
The shower/toilet block has been recently refurbished going by reviews from last year and earlier - the womens part has sinks, 2 toilets and 2 spacious shower cubicles (each with clothes hooks and a bench) and was very clean and nice to use. I booked directly online, that way I could turn up any time during the day to pitch my tent - as it's a small site, booking in advance is advisable anyway.
Bays are marked for campervans / caravans / motorhomes, but tents pitches aren't specifically marked, just anywhere on the grassy areas. Campers in tents have to leave their cars in the car park, but it's no hardship, it's literally a few metres from the camping area.
It's just off the A87, so those travelling by public transport can be dropped off close to the campsite entrance by the Citylink bus which goes to/from Skye a few times a day.
It's not a campsite designed for on-site activities, it's one to use as a base for your overnight stays whilst going out elsewhere through the day, whether hiking or going to see local castles, Skye etc.
Not a party site, and not one with a playground or amusements etc, but a great one for hitting the hills.

Excellent location for hiking, both The Saddle and the Five Sisters are very close by.
Pitches well spaced.
Facilities a little tired, but clean and welcome.

If you like camping in the middle of nowhere then this place is right up your street. There's a chocolatier at the junction of the A87 which has closed.
There's a small shop and pub back in Shiel Bridge and that's it.
The site is away from the Road so very quiet.
The facilities are small, 2 showers and 2 WCs each for male and female. Only let down by the inconsiderate people who don't leave them as they would expect to find them!
Peace and quiet by bucketful. Take walking boots and outdoor clothing, there's plenty of walking to be had.
The chap who looks after the site is friendly and helpful. Pity he has to use a petrol driven strimmer! (Not good for the environment!)
It's a tad pricey for what it is at £27 per night though.

Great campsite in a beautiful and peaceful location.
Good sized hard standing pitches with electric hook up, easy to pre book on line and clean facilities.
Everything you need and easy walk to the pub (less than a mile each way).

Loved it here. Great setting. Good facilities. Thankyou
Only one wee thing, could do with shower curtain, to stop water pouring onto floor.
Otherwise, perfect for us
