Glenbrittle Campsite in Highland

Incredible location and the food and service was lovely.

This place is actually brilliant! Best campsite we stayed at on Skye. The reasons - the shop, the cafe with food and pizzas, the location, the cheap overnight parking if you're not even camping there (we were heading for the Cuillins)

A truly magical place - spectacular surrounds, friendly staff and great facilities. The cafe is a real treat - delicious pastries and great coffee. We wish we could come back and stay longer next time

The café is a little gem at the end of a very long and winding road. Great coffee, lovely interior, very friendly staff and offering a gorgeous beach walk to follow it all. Not something anyone would expect to find with such remoteness!

Beautiful remote campsite. No phone signal or WiFi, perfect place to get away! Lots of incredible walks and a beautiful beach for taking a dip. Paradise!

I can only speak for the cafe, but my husband and I had a wonderful experience. The hot chocolate was amazing and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The biggest draw for me was Dude the dog, who sat on my foot and let me pet him while we relaxed on our tour stop. No worries if you’re not a dog fan because he does have a kennel in the cafe, but I asked to say hi to him

Very good Service. Perfect view and start for hiking. Small Shop with delicious food. Very good strawberry Marmelade.

The finest coffee on Skye is at the end of the road that threads its way down to a beach campsite which lies at the base of the Black Cuillins 😎

Fantastic gem! Very helpful and really nice pizza. No online booking and check in is from 12, make sure your there if you want a hook up. Toilets and showers and clean.

Amazing pizza and hot chocolate at the cafe! Just what I needed after a long hike. Cheap and very filling.

Nice cappuccino and almond pastry after a long hile

We stopped at the Cafe while on a tour and it was lovely, one of our favorite Cafe stops over our 5 day tour. The food and coffee were delicious and the owner was a sweetheart. We would go out of our way to come here again. Highly recommend.

A nice little find on my journey around Skye. Great location, stunning views, clean facilities, friend staff and good food. Thank you to the lady who goes as “Just me and my dog”!

Wir waren eine Nacht bei viel Wind und Regen im Zelt auf dem Campingplatz. Da nicht viel los war konnte man ein wenig windgeschützt schlafen, auch wenn generell sehr wenig Windschutz dort ist. Die Damen im Café/Rezeption waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Kaffee war auch sehr sehr gut. Facilities waren sauber, aber ich kann mir vorstellen dass es in der Hochsaison auch Mal Warteschlangen gibt (5 Duschen). Die Lage ist unschlagbar und man hat Berge, Strand auf einen Blick. Für Wanderungen ideal. Es gibt kein Internet und auch kein Handyempfang. Wir konnten ab Höhe das Youth Hostel wieder Handyempfang erhalten.

The location is spectacular and the facilities are well looked after. Great showers and and the cafe is an unexpected treat ! The best place on Skye to really get away and relax and take it all in with the sounds of the sea to lull you to sleep 👍

Wat een geweldige camping zo aan het eind van de wereld - voor je gevoel. Mooie locatie met prachtig uitzicht over het strand. Vriendelijke mensen die duidelijk plezier hebben in hun werk. Faciliteiten zijn goed. En mooie wandelingen te maken!

What a find! After walking the fairy ponds follow the signs to this wonderful spot! The coffee was outstanding! We sampled some of the baked goods and much to our delight they were all amazing! Make sure you say hello to Duke the friendly dog!

Cafe review. Good coffee, tea and a great selection of cakes, pastries and veggie pies and the cafe has a really friendly feel. Beautiful interior design

Wir waren auf der Suche nach einem Stellplatz auf der Isle of Skye und haben das Glenbrittle Campsite gefunden. Wir waren von Anfang an begeistert. Die Mitarbeiter waren super freundlich und das Einchecken war schnell und unkompliziert. Der Ort ist einfach atemberaubend. Er liegt zwischen den Bergen am Ende der Straße direkt am Meer. Der Weg dorthin ist etwas holprig und schlecht, aber das ist es wert. Einziger Nachteil: Es gibt dort kein Telefon- oder Internetempfang. Das ist aber auch kein Problem, denn man will ja die Ruhe und die Natur genießen. Ich kann das Glenbrittle Campsite uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Es ist der perfekte Ort, um dem Alltag zu entfliehen und die Seele baumeln zu lassen.

Great location and a surprisingly nice cafe.

Stunning campsite with a great café. The best vegetable curry pie I ever had. Never expected such a quality cafe in this corner of the world.

Strasse zum Gamping sehr stark befahren( selbe Route wie zu Fairy Pools) ist nur eine Single Road mit vielen Schlaglöchern. Einfahrt zum Camping ebenfalls viele Löcher. Handyempfang gar keinen. Auch kein WiFi vorhanden. Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Waschmaschine war ok, Trockner brachte meine Wäsche auch nach zweitem Mal nicht trocken. Strandspaziergang abends war wunderschön und eifach dahin zu gelangen. Wenn die obengenannten Punkte nicht stören, dann kann ichs empfehlen, mal da übernachtet zu haben.

This is a review for the café (not the campsite). This was a lovely and unexpected find on a secluded and remote beach. There is really good coffee and tea and a great selection of cakes, pastries and vegetarian pasties and the cafe feels really welcoming and friendly. The shop is mainly aimed at people using the campsite, but it's still worth having a browse. If you've just visited the water falls (about 4 miles up the road) or have driven down to walk on the beach this cafe is definitely recommended. It's also dog friendly.

Great campsite with cafe and clean facilities.

What a wonderful location! You have the beach in front, a river to one side and the Cuillin Hills to the other. You get there via a long, winding, single track road, mostly lovely and smooth but with occasional potholes and plenty of passing places. The campsite has a coffee shop and tiny shop (closed presently due to staffing issues), clean toilets and showers and the usual stuff for motorhome waste etc. Very limited hardstanding but the pitches are clean and dry, most with electric hookup. There's a lot of room for tents too. The beach is a few steps away, wide with soft silver grey sand. The site has access to roughly paved footpaths into the hills, a combination of cobble, rocks and stone. It's clear to follow and loads of fun to scramble up. The views are stunning and well worth the effort. The woman running the site was really friendly and had time for everyone even though she was doing it by herself. There wasn't a million stifling rules either. I highly recommend the site to anyone wanting big sky, beach, hills and a friendly site with clean amenities. Oh and for the kids, no WiFi and very poor phone signal so be prepared! 5 stars despite this :)

Beautiful location with fantastic views in all directions! Grass and hardstanding pitches(electric hook up available £10 per night)

Beautiful views, good showers. No wifi, no mobile phone reception, no washing machines, very long walks from motorhome to showers/toilets. Very expensive with 32 pounds for one night.

Stayed for a few days on my trip around Skye, definitely my favorite campsite. The landscape is beyond mesmerizing, no phone signal makes for a great social media break. The only small con is, depending on where you have your parking spot, the bathrooms and dish washing area can be quite far. But for me, it's not a big disadvantage. Definitely consider staying there if you're on Skye :))

Agreed pot holes on the access road are murder but this is what a camping holiday is all about. A pitch next to the beach, mountain walks, swimming in cold Scottish waters. You can BBQ on the beach ( load up on supplies, steaks etc before you go ) and with a bottle of whisky, and with the stars so close your can almost touch them. You really are in god's country. Fantastic place. Fix the potholes and it's 5 star.

Great service, lovely campsite and cafe. The toilet block is kept very clean and the campsite is very close to the Cullins and the Fairy pools. There’s a nice wee beach there too. Be prepared for midgies and take midgie nets and midgie repellant!

It had the best Sluice ever but the roads were shocking.

Been there last week from London. After a long walk this place is such a blessing for us to treat ourselves. Kids enjoyed their jacket potatoes 🥔 And the soup with bread was delicious Thank you so much for your hospitality

The most fabulous place to camp. They don't take bookings so first come - first in. Fresh coffee and bread every day. Fantastic beach. Gorgeous views. Walking access to the mountains. Absolutely no internet/phone/radio reception. Best place to chill on the planet 👍❤

Sign up advertising coffee shop open until 7pm, drove 4 miles to it after a walk to Fairy Pools only to find it shut at 4pm!🤷‍♂️

Clearly states open till 31st October, to travel miles and miles down a lane to then have a sign stuck to there gate stating closed. Daft.

Lovely location right on the beach. Friendly staff on check in. Pot holes on entrance road are very deep and need addressing. We felt £32 for one night in October for 2 adults and electric a bit steep considering the facilities aren't amazing. Facilities are good but not that many toilets and showers.

Fantastic spot to take in the 🌊

Un lloc ideal davant del mar i al costat del Castell

We fallow the sign from our visit to the Fairy Pools. The staff was lovely the coffee and blueberry muffin delicious was just what we needed. This time we were only visiting Scotland with the car but We kept the address for a next visit for camping. The only downside is the road on the camping arrival.

The worst 7 miles of road you've ever seen, only one road in and it has deep pot holes, with no attempt to fill them in. The people next to us were stranded there for 3 days whilst a garage tried to locate an Audi alloy wheel as theirs was cracked. Below par facilities and a poorly stocked, poorly staffed (staff who tried to re sell our electric hook up, whilst we went off for supplies) and massively over priced £4.75 for a tiny pot of soup with a tiny bread roll. Seriously book ahead somewhere else

Great coffee ☕ views from here are amazing, great walks

Fantastic campsite, great cafe, spotless toilets and showers. Overall a fantastic place to stay

Amazing location! Everyone very welcoming and good facilities.

To sleep so near to a most perfect beach made our Scottish trip Fantastic.. The setting really is just amazing.. The Coffee and cakes were just Mouthwatering.. Facilites were great also.. The drive down was also stunning.Made our trip of the Beauty of this site ;)

Great coffee and cake after a walk to the fairy pools

Of all the campsites we have stayed at during our tour of Scotland this was the most expensive and offered the least. We were a muddy field and a half away from the toilet block or showers and cafe and the road to the campsite is so pitted with potholes I thought we were going to damage our camper. Expensive cafe and no phone. Avoid . Other sites are just as beautiful without the hassle.signal The cafe was ridiculously expensive

One of my favourite campsites! I arrived late and in the dark, so just parked up somewhere out the way. Didn't find it tricky to get a spot; was lovely and quiet; vies straight out to sea 😊 Facilities are good, with perhaps the exception of washing & drying facilities which consisted on one washer and dryer on the doorway, lending to a muddy puddle between the door and the machine you have to be careful not to drop ya clean washing in. The lady who currently works there, is a total diamond. It's the people that make your stay what it is, and she definitely made my stay what it was. Also, their cafe does the most amazing hot chocolate, made with choc ganach 😋

Great location but a wildly windy. The pitches and plots are really exposed. But the location is amazing. The cafe is great and the ammentities are really welcome. If the weather was better we would of stayed a lot longer.

Please fix the road - potholes everywhere and not great in our VW transporter. No WiFi and little to no phone signal at the campsite - if that is important to you. I'd recommend to owners they get WiFi even just in the cafe so that people can use it from there, would also increase customers using the cafe. Just a suggestion. The road down to it is quite long and single track, but not an issue with lots of passing places, just take your time. But... Great coffee shop on site (best we have been to), best showers on this trip so far (this is our 3rd campsite), good dish washing area. Nice small and quiet beach for the dog to run around.

It's the end of the world as we know it ! Good coffee, friendly people, and a nice menu. Toilets are clean and above all, an amazing views. Great place to camp.

Beach and dramatic scenery. Great facilities too.

The 'road' in to this 'campsite' (and it's a long 'road'!!) is absolutely horrendous!! We always joke about the approaches to campsites, they can be pretty bad sometimes but there is no rival anywhere on Skye to match the potholes on this approach!! We decided to pop in to the 'cafe' after our visit to the Fairy Pools. So, so glad we were in a hire car and not our precious motorhome. Then once we had navigated the vehicle wrecking 'road' looking around, all I could see was utter chaos!! The 'cafe' certainly wasn't worth the dangerous drive in! I had thought on occasion, when looking at the website, that this might be worth an overnight stay but the photograph certainly doesn't portray an accurate view, we will never stay here.

Awful approach road, and overpriced in general. Limited facilities for size of site. Disappointed.

Excellent site with lots of spaces and plenty of friendly people. A great base for exploring the Cuillins or Skye as a whole.

Stopped if here for food, not a great selection but it feed us. Staff really friendly.

One of the best sites on skye checked in for 1 night but stayed 3 in total great beach and views and some lovely walks on the doorstep. New clean facilities and super friendly staff and great coffee shop on site

Review: Price: £22 for two adults and a dog. Date visited: Mid September 2021. Location: Remote, quiet, sea view Facilities: 10 out of 10, toilets, showers and lots of pot wash sinks. You can order croissants and baguettes. Good coffee. View: Restricted bay view, not spectacular. Other: Road to reception is in a very bad state. The grass pitches could benefit from being flatter. Zero phone signal. Zero WiFi. Red phone box out of order.

Excellent campsite with fantastic facilities. The cafe is amazing, with the option of ordering freshly baked bread for the next morning is great. Toilets, shower block and kitchen clean up areas are all to a very high standard. Lastly the views are simply stunning. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Lovely campsite, very well kept with great amenities...

We couldn't find anywhere to camp on the island and saw signs for this place after we lost signal. We turned up around 5 and the staff were more than happy to give us a spot. We have traveled for 2 weeks and we had the best night sleep here! No lights on all night, so quiet and peaceful. We slept along the beach and from one window could see the waves and the other the mountains. The staff were lovley, one lady served us each time we were at the till and she was just so happy and helpful which was so welcomed as some tourist places the staff can be abrupt. We had a jacket potato which was large and tasty. Loos were a while away from where we camped but had a port a loo for number 1's so wasn't a problem. Site was a bit muddy but camping spots were fine it was only the road. We walked on the beach and also went on the local walk to see the waterfall which felt so private compared to the fairypools. We saw deer! Would deffo recommend a stay. Thanks for beeing so friendly!

Very busy campsite but OK overall.

It's a long way down the Island but the views are spectacular. It got extremely busy (this is what it is) but poorly managed pitches and general attentiveness of staff lacking made for an unrelaxing stay. Facilities fine nothing special but spoke to a member of staff about people smoking in the shower rooms (yeah really) and they laughed and said 'That happens, what do you want us to do?' Wrong response, clear lack of basic customer interaction skills. Consider this site carefully if travelling with your kids.

An over-subscribed, unmanaged free-for-all, accessed by an 8 mile singletrack road that degenerates into a potholed farm track. The cafe is just what it says it is, an outlet selling coffee, cake and croissants. Don't go down here thinking you can get full meals, the nearest pub is 10 miles away (but it was very good). The toilet blocks were average, everything worked ok though. OK, the good points...the staff in the cafe were very friendly and the coffee and cakes they served were quite good, and the beach is nice. I cant really recommend the place though.

Amazing views, even when pouring! Friendly, accomodating, easy going staff. Lovely beech, superb coastline walk. Freshly baked croissant 🥐 and great coffee.

Beautiful remote campsite where you can have a fire on the beach. Very quiet at night. Lovely cafe that does great coffee!

What a gem of a well run campsite. Fabulous coffee shop, friendly, clean facalities. With tranquil, peaceful views beach,hills, forest walks from the site. Great for water sports too. Highly recomend.

Fantastic location down a long and winding road. Clean facilities, nice shop/cafe, but could do with more stock.

Great facilities and very friendly beautiful place to wake up in the morning

Poor washing facilities, only 1 washer and 1 drier for a 120 pitch site. Lack of regular cleaning of the Toilet and showers. Road is full of potholes. Very disappointed after reading good reviews. 1 night was enough! Would not return.

stunning views and I think good facilities and good value for money! Would visit again

Great spot! Very busy, make sure to arrive early to avoid disappointment. Great facilities, midges were out in full force for our stay so make sure you bring repellent, citronella candles, etc. Just down the road from the popular fairy pools, no reception/service at the campsite either.

You can spend the day on one of the cleanest beaches for only £5 parking on the site well worth it

Great location nestled between beach and the Cullins. Near the Fairy Pools which are a must. The location is not that central for the island and no WiFi and no phone reception so a few days here was plenty. Pitches plentiful and lots of space and hook up. No need to prebook. Cafe makes really great coffee and you can preorder sourdough baguettes and breads. Pastries fresh daily. Few midges when the wind drops but I guess that's Scotland so be prepared!

Full of bull, when you ring them and you are told yes, if you get here today, and drive 200 , miles to get there, o so sorry but we are full,😠🚷🚯

Fantastic location with stunning views over the sea and plenty of walks and hikes around. Stayed for 2 nights, very clean and the coffee shop came really handy, if any places available with no prior booking required. Midgets were present……….. 😊👍👌👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🔝🔜

We followed the signs for a café from Fairy Pools, turned out it was just a café to get a drink from. No where to sit, and not much option. It's probably totally decent if you're staying at the campsite but not worth a dedicated visit. It took us probably 10-20 minutes of windy country road driving to get there but was totally underwhelming.

The worst campsite I've ever stayed at. I don't know how it ever won best uk campsite in 2019. Must have gone downhill since then. The toilet facilities were always filthy and toilets flooded. Tents were put dangerously close to others as there was no space. Phone box was out of order. Laundry facilities out of order as well. Upon arrival the staff were unpleasant and unwelcoming. The location was beautiful.

Great little campsite situated right in front of the beach. Toilets and showers were cleaned regularly and has a cafe on site. Would be fantastic if you're into water sports or hiking

Lovely place to visit. Lovely walk with the dogs on the cliffe tops.

Site located in lovely surroundings right on the beach with plenty of trails around well worth a visit. Just remember toilets and showers can get a bit busy sometimes so lads be prepared to queue outside lol

Perfect for a digital detox, no WiFi, phone TV or radio! Just peace and quiet 😃

El sitio es una pasada de bonito ,pero el camino tortuoso para llegar,no me importa pero no hay nada de cobertura,y las instalaciones no son acordé a lo que te cobran 2 adultos y un niño 39libras y encima baños sucios dejados he intalaciones no muy comodas

Great campsite and base for the area.

Stayed for 2 nights. Campsite was nice, toilets were exceptionally clean at all times. I never used the cafe, but it was quite popular and it was nice to see they were selling some small camping bits and bobs since the campsite is kind of in the middle of nowhere... But that's what makes it so unusual and magical. Surrounded by mountains and sea. I can't wait to come back!

Never stayed at camp just went for the caffe which only does hot soup No other hot or cold food sold Teas coffee juice chocolate bars n crisps

Stunning setting. We showed up at 4pm and got a pitch no problem without electic hookup. Others complaints that pitches should be marked seem valid. Decent hot showers. Wachine machine was broken. No WiFi. Decent coffee and fresh bread to order.

This place is an awesome campground at a unique location. Mountains, sheep and the sea frame this campground. Perfect to stop for a good coffee and croissant or camp out.

Only popped in to park to walk up the munros. £5 parking but a lovely place for camping by the looks of it - we didn't camp but it's gorgeous here. There is a beach, carpark, toilet and shower facilities and the little cafe/shop. Cafe shop slightly expensive with not a huge range of food (especially with how busy the campsite can get - not just campers but hill walkers too) We climbed Sgùrr Alasdair - so worth the views and achievement. Too foggy to hit the top as we had to turn back.

Dropped in unplanned and had a lovely lunch. Beautiful soup and bread roll, nice cup of tea, and a beautiful almond croissant. Lovely fresh food in a stunning location.

Perfect combination of beach and mountains. Little cafe and shop with friendly staff. Absolutely great spot for the family.

Bardzo piękna lokalizacja, zdecydowanie świetna miejscówka na spokojny nocleg,zaledwie rzut beretem na uroczą plażę i wyjście na szlak do eksplorowania Glen Brittle. Na miejscu nawet otwarta jest kawiarnia,mieliśmy własny termos więc nie skorzystaliśmy. Toalety czyste.

Wonderful location with stunning, and staggering, walks a a cess to climbs from the site. Staff are brilliant!

Can’t fault the location - beautiful views and wonderful falls straight from the campsite. The cafe is great and do lovely baked goods. The toilets and showers are very clean (although there’s often a queue to the ladies showers). The plots are private although a bit of a free for all - you can either be really lucky or have people right next to you. The road leading into the campsite has lots of potholes. Overall, loved staying as the location and staff are really great.

Absolutely brilliant. One of the best sites out. A few inconsiderate campers who feel the need to take a super huge pitch designed for groups just for the two of them. Though I guess that happens everywhere. The site is beautiful. And loads to explore on your doorstep. A fab beach view and nestled into the mountains. Midges are a pain and do take net and your various potions. But tbh they are worse elsewhere. It is the highlands, a gentle breeze moves the worst away. The fairy pools nearby are a must. Though much better to take a walk from Glenbrittle (20/30min) than contend with the car parks, traffic and crazy campervan drivers. I highly recommend the site and its cafe, facilities. They are well maintained and cleaned twice a day. The water which I assume is fresh from the mountains spring is hot and provides for a decent shower.

Disappointing. Cafe really isn't - just pastries in morning, muffins & a bowl of soup available. Also takeaway only - no seating area so just be aware. Considering there is nothing for miles around this is a real missed opportunity. Site is OK but I couldn't see how there are 120 pitches - lots of wasted space. But access to the loch beach for paddling & trails for walking are good.

BEST cafe. Coffee and food were really good. Wish it was my local! 💖

Busy place with everyone doing staycations this year but still managed to find a great pitch. Stags and deer wandering through the field opposite and the beach is very close by.

When I first visited ten years ago Glenbrittle campsite felt like a majestic wilderness. Utterly stunning location, a tiny site hut with a delapidated shower block, populated almost exclusively by climbers and walkers scattered throughout the long grass. It was simple, remote and quiet - exactly how it should be. Fast forward ten years and the arrival of the coffee shop seems to have brought mass tourism. There's something rather incongruous about seeing people returning to their tents with take out coffee and food cartons. It's not in the spirit of the place in my opinion. Don't you come somewhere like this to get away from all that? I visited in August and the site felt oversold. Pitches should be marked out properly and I had to persuade someone not to pitch within a meter of my tent. Some speed bumps on the gravel track to the office would be a good idea too, people drive too fast. All that being said it is a stunning location and all deserve access to Skye. Perhaps I'm just grumpy today because of the rain.

Best coffee on the island and delicious croissants

Just stopped for a light lunch here. The place is quite literally the end of the road in an amazing setting. Lunch, with no wifi or phone signal, with mountain and sea views? Perfect. The campsite itself looked well kept with plenty of pitches available.
