Our Recommended Campsites in Scotland West Coast

Recommended campsites around the west coast

Our West Coast route is our most popular option and is perfect for those with just 7 nights to explore Scotland. This route showcases some of the most breathtaking scenery, with plenty to see and do along the coastline. 

While I love the freedom and tranquility of wild camping, I personally prefer staying at a campervan campsite every third night – and there are lots of great campsites in West Coast Scotland. It’s a great opportunity for a long, hot shower and to make some of the campervan chores a little easier - like refilling fresh water, disposing of grey water, and emptying the chemical toilet.  

Based on my own travels along the West Coast, I’ve put together a list of campsites I recommend to customers. These sites are known for their excellent facilities, cleanliness, and friendly staff. 
 

List of Campsites in West Coast of Scotland 

Blaire Castle Caravan Park 

Location: Blair Atholl, Pitlochry PH18 5SR, United Kingdom 

Located at the entrance to Cairngorms National Park, Blair Castle Caravan Park is also part of Blair Castle & Gardens. I highly recommend this caravan site in West Scotland for its wide range of activities, including pods, touring, camping, holiday homes, and woodland lodges.  

As one of Scotland’s four Premier Parks, you can guarantee the best experience with their clean, well-maintained facilities. 
 

Broomfield Holiday Park 

Location: West Lane, Ullapool, IV26 2UT 

Broomfield Holiday Park is situated on the banks of Lochbroom, offering breathtaking scenery throughout your stay. This campsite on the West Coast of Scotland is an excellent choice for those looking to explore the best spots in the Highlands, as its central location provides easy access to the region’s top attractions.  

Broomfield also has a well-maintained and serviced site that makes it even more worth visiting. 
 

Shieldaig Campsite 

Location: Aurora, Temperance Brae, Shieldaig, Strathcarron IV54 8XN, United Kingdom 

Shieldaig Campsite is located in the historic fishing village of Shieldaig Island. This is the best stop for motorhome adventurers exploring Northwest Highlands. They boast brand new heated shower and toilet facility, washing up area, laundry, and 20 powered hardstandings for motorhomes or caravans.  

If you want to grab a bite or shop, you can visit the local pub, seafood restaurant, coffee shop, and the local shop just five minutes away from the campsite. 
 

Applecross Campsite 

Location: Applecross IV54 8ND, United Kingdom 

Applecross Campsite is another stay that we recommend. This area is located in the Mains of Applecross and just a five-minute walk away from the pub and Bay Area. 

The campsite is a big area that can accommodate 60 tents, motorhomes, and campervans. They offer hot water showers, laundry room with washing machine, tumble dryer, and a payphone. 
 

Kinloch Campsite 

Location: Kinloch Campsite, Dunvegan, Isle of Skye IV55 8WQ, United Kingdom 

Kinloch Campsite is nestled on the shores of Loch Dunvegan and the only campsite in a waterfront location in Skye.  

I highly recommend this site as the village of Dunvegan is just five minutes away from here - meaning that you can explore different shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants, and other services.  

While camping on the West Coast, you can also visit remarkable tourist spots while here, including Neist Point, Coral Beach, and the Fairy Pools. 
 

Glenbrittle Campsite 

Location: Carbost, Isle of Skye IV47 8TA, United Kingdom 

Glenbrittle Campsite is located at the foot of the Cuillin mountains and Loch Brittle beach. They have an in-house cafe and shop, plus amenities like electric hook up and washing machine if you need one.  

Did we also mention that this campsite in Scotland West Coast was voted No. 1 UK Campsite by Daily Telegraph, won Gold Campsite of the Year 2019 in The Great Outdoors Magazine Awards and won No.1 of the 10 Best Cool Coastal Campsites in the September 2020 issue of Coast Magazine?

Location: 2 Bunacaimb, Arisaig PH39 4NT, United Kingdom 

Sunnyside Croft is an eco-friendly touring site located between the coastline of Arisaig and Morar.  

I highly recommend its quiet and peaceful location; plus, the high-quality facilities it has. The site also offers free wi-fi on-site and has a 4-star rating from Visit Scotland for quality assurance.

We would recommend this campsite on the West coast because of their high-quality facilities, from toilets, showers, laundry, undercover cooking shelters, and dishwashing. There is also free wi-fi across the site and a farm shop and coffee five minutes away from the park.
