Silversands Caravan And Campsite

Silversands Caravan And Campsite is a small coastal site beside the sandy beaches of Arisaig, with views towards Skye and the Small Isles. Its 18 touring pitches are mostly hardstanding, making this a place for caravan and campervan stays rather than a large holiday park. Facilities include toilets, showers and electric hook-up, and dogs are welcome. Advance booking is required, with arrangements made by telephone or email.

The shore is the main attraction here: easy beach access lends itself to walks along the sand, while the clear coastal waters offer opportunities for wild swimming and kayaking when conditions are suitable. Arisaig village is a short drive away for the local shop. Beside the campsite, Traigh Golf Course provides another way to spend time outdoors. Its nine holes follow the natural contours of the ground rising above the beach, with outlooks towards Eigg and the mountains of Skye.

Mallaig, around seven miles north, adds restaurants, bars and options for exploring beyond the mainland. Ferries sail from its harbour to Armadale on Skye and the Small Isles of Eigg, Muck, Rum and Canna, while passenger services connect with Knoydart. Wildlife cruises also depart from the port. An island outing needs planning around the relevant sailing and return timetable, rather than treating every destination as an interchangeable day trip.
