About Glenshiel Campsite
Glenshiel Campsite is a small, scenic Highland campsite set at the foot of the Five Sisters of Kintail, surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery and just a short hop from the River Shiel. Recently refurbished and now under new ownership, the site offers hard‑standing pitches with electric hook‑up, grey‑water and chemical disposal, alongside simple grass tent pitches with 24/7 access to a modern shower and cleaning block. Two live‑in wardens are on site daily, welcoming arrivals between 13:00 and 20:00 and maintaining a peaceful, well‑run environment. The campsite is ideally positioned for exploring Glen Shiel, the Falls of Glomach, the South Glen Shiel Ridge, Eilean Donan Castle and the Isle of Skye, and remains popular with walkers, climbers and Cape Wrath Trail hikers. A handful of campervans and tents ensures a quiet, rural feel, with small fires and BBQs permitted as long as they are supervised and kept off the grass. A bus stop just five minutes away provides easy onward travel. With refurbished facilities, drying areas, recycling points and direct access to major mountain routes, Glenshiel Campsite offers a comfortable, low‑key base for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a rugged Highland setting.
