The best glamping near Tarbert with wifi provided

·

The fishing village of Tarbert, connected by ferry to Uig on Skye, sits between the sea lochs on a photogenic isthmus separating South Harris and North Harris. Stark and striking nature surrounds this little community: the dreamy white sand beaches of Luskentyre and Scarista to the southwest, the otherworldly rockscape of the Golden Road in the southeast, and the peaks of North Harris (including the highest Outer Hebridean summit of Clisham) to the north. Tarbert features a shop to purchase food supplies, as well as places to eat, and the best campsites are between five and 10 miles outside the village looking out on Luskentyre.

Cosy Caravan in Roshven

4. Cosy Caravan in Roshven

111km from Tarbert · 1 unit · Glamping · Scotland
This self-contained trailer has been a well loved part our home since 2010. We’re happy to welcome friends and visitors to stay in it from time to time. A beautiful, wild and remote setting on the West Coast of Scotland. Peace and quiet! A useful stopover on the way to the Skye ferry. Cars/bikes and wellington boots are recommended. Eggs from our free range hens are available to buy. It is a drive to reach the small local shops/pubs. Walks to beaches and woods. We look forward to welcoming you. The vintage caravan is a cosy, quiet, self-contained space positioned close by our house. It is surrounded by honeysuckle and clematis. Through the windows you can glimpse mountains and trees. There’s a small double bedroom and another small bedroom that can be arranged either with a generous single or small twin beds that are ideal for young children. The living area has couches and a dining table. The kitchenette has all the basics, fridge, microwave and a gas cooker. The bathroom has a shower, washbasin and toilet. This self-catering accommodation has its own private lockable entrance. Guests have access to the caravan, garden, and driveway. Nearest shops/pubs are a 20-30min DRIVE away - it's a good idea to bring everything you need as the road is long and you may not feel like going out again! Please let me know in advance if you require the small twin beds made up. From the last week of May through to early September it is midge season in the Scottish Highlands, so be prepared to encounter these tiny biting flies - however, a light breeze and a stick of citronella incense is usually enough to disperse them! On still nights I strongly recommend that you keep the windows closed, otherwise you may find clouds of midges invade your space. There is a cooling fan to make warm evenings more comfortable. A haven for creatives! During April and October we host artists’ residencies specially for socially engaged practitioners who would benefit from some time to rest and reconnect with nature. When you book via Hipcamp, a small community fee is added to your daily booking charge and this goes to support these residencies by helping to pay for logs for the wood stove during the artists' visits.

Highland & Transylvania Glamp. Pod

13. Highland & Transylvania Glamp. Pod

120km from Tarbert · 2 units · Glamping · Roy Bridge, Scotland
Glamping pods in a large garden alongside the river Roy A 10-minute drive from Loch Lochy and 20 minutes from Fort William Seating in the garden and kitchen and ensuites provided Right on the side of the river Roy, the Highland and Transylvania Glamping Pods is a properly cosy base in the Scottish Highlands. The large garden has a terrace, river views and a seating area, but perhaps the best bit is that it’s located a short drive from lochs, glens, rivers and long-distance trails. What might you get up to? Climbing, hill walking, mountain biking and water-based sports are all on the agenda in this area, but especially in Fort William (20 minutes’ drive) and Lochaber, which have been ascribed as a capital for outdoor adventures. Scotland’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, is also 20 minutes’ drive away. Even closer is Loch Lochy (10 minutes’ drive), which has access to part of the 79-mile Great Glen Way (around 10 minutes’ drive). From Fort William, start off on another long-distance trail, the West Highland Way, which stretches for 96 miles across the banks of Loch Lomond and ends in Milngavie. The pods here have been named after the places where the owners spent their childhood and continue to live. Feel free to stop off while travelling to or from the Isle of Skye (two hours and 10 minutes) or stay for a good while… Fort William’s centre has a splendid selection of pubs, restaurants, shops and a bus and rail station. Plus, there are lots of links courses for golfers a day trip away, like the Royal Dornoch (two hours and 25 minutes). Both pods have a small double bed (a bit narrower than a standard double) with all bed linen provided. The kitchen areas are equipped with a fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster (crockery, cutlery and towels are handily provided). To keep things nice and tasty, the pods are also well insulated. The patio doors and the rear opening window are both double glazed and there are electric radiators to inject some extra heat into the kitchen and living area.

The best glamping near Tarbert with wifi provided guide

Where to go

South Harris

South Harris is postcard Outer Hebrides—low green hills give way to some of Scotland’s prettiest sandy beaches on one side of the island while the lunar-like craggy landscape around the Golden Road makes for spectacular adventures too. Campers are spoilt for choice, with a cluster of sites around Luskentyre Beach and several more over in the rockier east, plus plentiful wild camp spots.

North Harris

The divide between South and North Harris is the isthmus on which Tarbet is located. Mountains thrust out of boggy moorland so rocky and remote that this is one of the best places for observing golden eagles in Europe. On the moorland close to the couple of roads that exist here there is decent wild camping, plus a campsite at Huishnish.

Berneray

Teensy Berneray is a short road trip (to Leverburgh) and then a short ferry journey from Tarbert, and is where you will need to go to continue travelling south through the archipelago. But it is worth pausing on this clement, uncrowded isle – if only because few others do and as a result the stunning sandy beaches are even lovelier for being deserted. Wild camping is the order of the day here, and towards the north of the island no one is likely to ever see you. 

When to go

Everything about Tarbert suggests a visit between April and October is best. Most official campgrounds only open during this period (some only open May-September). Harris is famously wild and wet and when the rain descends or the wind blows, there is little shelter, so an April-October trip reduces the likelihood of such abysmal weather slightly. Tarbert’s big annual celebration is Feis Mara na Hearadh (the Isle of Harris Festival of the Sea) in July.

Know before you go

  • Tarbert is connected by ferry to Uig on the Isle of Skye which, despite being an island, has a bridge to the Scottish mainland.
  • The nearest airport, practically, is Stornoway Airport, a 39-mile, one-hour drive northeast. 
  • Tarbert itself has no campsite; the nearest proper campgrounds are either around the shoreline of Luskentyre (southwest) or spread-eagled along the lonely Golden Road (southeast).
  • If you need camping essentials for your trip and you are taking the ferry to Tarbert, consider stopping in Portree on Skye (with an outdoor store and biggersupermarkets) on the way.
