The glenelg inn

  • Simple site on a working croft near Glenelg in the Scottish Highlands
  • Plockton and Isle of Skye within 50 minutes' drive
  • A 10-minute drive from pub, shop, bike hire and the Sandaig Bay trail
Fancy being Monarch of the Glen? No thrones or castles are on offer at Moyle Park Campsite but you’ll stay in regal surrounds, at the head of a Scottish glen surrounded by hills and woodland. It’s a quiet site on a working croft, about 10 minutes’ drive from the coastal village of Glenelg in the Highlands and Islands. In the summer a community-run ferry service operates from Glenelg to the Isle of Skye, and you can also take the causeway to the island from Kyle of Lochalsh, 40 minutes away. For some stunning scenery closer to home, take a drive along the coast road to Arnisdale (half an hour away) and then treat yourself to something from the tea hut. However entranced you are by the scenery, you’ll need the odd bit of sustenance: handily enough there’s a small general store and a pub serving fresh hot food in Glenelg, and supermarkets and various eateries in Kyle of Lochalsh. If you fancy alfresco feasting, bag a haunch of venison (or just some sausages) in town and have a barbecue back at base. You can also hire bikes in Glenelg, and take the one and a half-mile trail to Sandaig Bay, where the Ring of Bright Water writer Gavin Maxwell spent so much time inspired by the wildlife; you might spot an otter or two yourself…

What customers say

Campsite ionata saor, radharcanna iontacha, síocháin. Foirfe do mhadraí. Áiseanna glan, bunúsacha, cithfholcadáin mhaith. Féinfhreastaladh, úinéir fáilteach. Conairí caola, fáilte roimh roinnt. WiFi go maith, gan mórán comharthaí. Beagán cuilc, ach is fiú an áit.

Liked Jaw dropping location, with stunning views and access to some wonderful forestry walks, perfect for the dog. Glenelg is a beautiful village, with great pub, and easy access to the Glenelg Ferry (not to be missed). Despite the remoteness, didn’t need the WiFi as a strong mobile signal (EE)!

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Fantastic small site, with plenty of space between pitches. Lovely scenery and wash facilities. Best shower and toilets for the price we paid we have had, they were clean and functional. Didn’t see any site personnel, just booked, turned up and pitched up, didn’t need anything more.

Local attractions

If you’re a Gavin Maxwell fan, or just really into otters, you’ll want to make a pilgrimage to the Bright Water Visitor Centre on Skye (45 minutes by car): as well as learning all about Maxwell and the modern efforts to conserve the wildlife of this lush place, you can book guided trips to the author’s home on Eilan Bàn. While you’re on Skye, you might want to take in some more of the island’s attractions such as the Museum of the Isles, tours and tastings at the Talisker distillery and walks through the outstanding landscape to spots like Kilt Rock Waterfall and the Old Man of Storr. Half an hour away, Eilean Donan is the pick of the local castle collection, a fully-restored 13th-century pile on an island where three lochs converge. Duncraig Castle is more of a mansion and is close to Plockton (50 minutes' drive), an eccentric gem of a place with cows wandering the beach and palm trees on the streets. You can catch seal-spotting boat cruises from Plockton, or head to Kyle of Lochalsh, where the Seaprobe Atlantis takes you over the waters in a glass-bottomed boat. Shame they don’t do that on Loch Ness… you can, however, take boats on the famed monster loch from Fort August, an hour and 10 minutes away.
