Best Glamping Near Armadale, Isle of Skye, 2025

Visitors traveling by ferry to the Isle of Skye from Mallaig on the Scottish mainland will arrive in Armadale. At the southern end of Skye’s Sleat peninsula, Armadale is typically used as a departure point, by bus or rental car, for the rest of the island. But it has its own attractions, such as a sheltered golden beach and Armadale Castle, Gardens and Museum of the Isles, the former seat of the Macdonalds of Sleat. While there are few private sites in Armadale itself, it's within easy reach of those offering RV parking, tent pitching and glamping farther north.

116km from Armadale · 1 unit · Glamping · Carlisle, England

Built in 1733, King Garth is also known as The Old Customs House, reflecting its role in these fraught times of smuggling. Its strategic position on the banks of The Eden served as the perfect lookout for a bailiff employed by Carlisle Corporation to protect the very important salmon fishery. The plaques on the building which commemorate the visits by Mayors date back to the 1700s. These visits no doubt involved indulgent banquets centring around freshly caught salmon I grew up on the opposite side of the river. On family walks along the Eden I was always fascinated by the house on the other side sited in such an amazing position. In 2010, when I returned to Cumbria I was amazed to hear that this house was for sale. It was a ruin and everyone told me I was mad..... I probably was a little! But I soon realised that I wasn’t alone in my love of this house, everyone I met from the surrounding villages had a tale to tell about this iconic place. King Garth is for sharing - with locals, (we have an annual barbecue), with wildlife and with people like you. The aim when renovating King Garth was to celebrate and embrace its history. King Garth is off grid and has no running water. It is furnished in a style to reflect its history. It isn’t everyone’s ‘cup of tea’: you have to drive a mile down a muddy lane, there is no hot shower, no electric lighting, and a compost toilet. BUT we offer beautiful evenings of candle light, log burner, hot tub under the stars and bathing in the river. My priority with King Garth and the land attached was to manage in a way to protect the abundant wildlife. There are also alpacas who you can look after during your stay. You will be astounded by the din the birds make at dawn and dusk! Inside the house there is an owl box where one summer a pair of barn owls successfully raised chicks. Since then a kestrel frequents the box and has twice laid there. This part of the Eden is tidal so both estuarine and river species co exist. Kingfishers and otters are often spotted And even the occasional seal! Kinggarth comes with fishing rights and if you want to fish this can be arranged with the host. The bird feeders are frequented by tree sparrows, yellow hammers, wood peckers, nut hatches and in winter red poll.

Weekend Trip to Fernlea - Campsite & Pod

Staying at Bruce’s house was an absolute pleasure! He was so incredibly helpful and kind and the pod is perfect. I would live there for the rest of my life if I could! The kitchen is great. The hot tub is beyond belief and so good that it’s almost intoxicating. When my boyfriend and I accidentally reset the Internet, Bruce was beyond kind and helpful. Next time I’m in this area I will for sure Be staying here again.

Weekend Trip to King Garth

We absolutely loved our stay at King Garth! It is located in such a tranquil location beside the river and away from other houses, but with alpacas for company! The hot tub was perfect to relax in and we enjoyed a cosy, candlelit evening inside by the fire afterwards! It was fascinating to read about the history of the building too! Will definitely be back :)

Loved our first pod experience. Very warm and cozy. Facilities were great! Directions were a little confusing at the start as the sat-nav took us to the house a little distance up the road but once we knew our place it was absolutely fine.

Weekend Trip to King Garth

We stayed as a birthday treat for my 12 year old. 2 adults, 4 children and our dog. It was a truly fantastic stay from start to finish. Such a unique house and experience. The kids absolutely loved swimming in the river, looking after the alpacas, the hot tub and going back to basics. It was lovely seeing them enjoying themselves with no distractions of the modern world. Games by candle light and food over the bbq, what more could you ask for. Jane was fantastic and made sure we knew everything that was needed before we arrived. Can’t wait to come back.

What a beautiful place! Everything we could possibly need was there for us on arrival; the pod was lovely and cozy and it was great to be able to sit out around the firepit in the evening. Birdsong everywhere and plenty of wildlife to see around the place. Sadly it was a bit wet to try the boat out but will have to come back on a sunnier day!

We loved staying at the beautiful King Garth, the hot tub was perfect after getting the fire going and sitting in candle light, in front of the fire is the most comforting feeling in the world. A very quiet and peaceful sight with gorgeous views and riverside walks with a pub about 30 mins walk away. We did get lost on the way to the cottage so make sure to follow the map to cargo village and not the middle of a field on the other side of the river 🤣 We even got to feed alpacas and theyre very funny little characters and very friendly. We will be staying again and very recommended

4 nights at Loch Katrine Eco Camping

The pods were clean, comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Unfortunately the fly screen for our door was broken so it was a choice of being gnawed on by midges or being very hot- we chose the heat which was a bit uncomfortable but a fan had been provided which helped. The views were incredible of the loch and mountains and the walking and cycling just stunning. It's a little public with it being next to the main path but if you aren't looking for seclusion then it's fine and we found it vibrant and interesting watching the boats and people coming and going. The food in the cafe was excellent and we enjoyed the take away option, it does close fairly early so best to get there before 5:15pm. All in all it was a beautiful spot and very good accommodation and we had a brilliant time.

Highland & Transylvania Glamp. Pod

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.

Where to go

Sleat Peninsula

Attractions scattered around the Sleat peninsula, close to Armadale, include the 13th-century Dunscaith Castle and 14th-cenutry Knock Castle. Outdoor enthusiasts can embark on the 5.5-mile (nine kilometer) walk to the Point of Sleat, the most southerly point on Skye. A stone’s throw from the ferry terminal, Rubha Phoil is a small and quiet campsite with tent pitches in wooded areas and cozy cabins. Campers will likely spot birds, seals, otters, and possibly sea eagles and dolphins.

Broadford

Those traveling by road to Skye typically pass through Broadford, the island’s second-biggest settlement (after Portree). A 25-minute drive north of Armadale, it also offers a good, central base for exploring the rest of the island and is within easy reach of attractions including the Spar Cave, Blackhilll Waterfall and the Fairy Pools. On the northern edge of Broadford, and within a short walking distance of the shops and restaurants, Camping Skye enjoys a peaceful setting, surrounded by woodland. The site has hard-standing pitches for motorhomes and caravans, as well as tent pitches. Five miles north, the adults only Lochside Caravan Site has hand-standing pitches for caravans with views toward the island of Scalpay. If you are a Camping and Caravanning Club member, you can pitch up at Ashaig Campsite, three miles east of Broadford.

Sligachan

Heading farther north into Central Skye, the small settlement of Sligachan is around 30 miles from Armadale. Sligachan is an alluring destination for its setting in the Black Cuillin mountains and is the perfect base for mountain climbers. In the shadow of the magnificent mountain range, and next to a sparkling river, Sligachan Campsite has hard-standing and grass pitches for tents, campervans, caravans and motorhomes.

When to go

The summer months promise the best conditions for exploring the Isle of Skye, but these months can also see the island uncomfortably crowded with tourists. The best time to visit is just outside peak season, such as April or October; while the weather will be cooler, it’s worth it to not have to deal with crowds. A winter visit almost guarantees you’ll have the place to yourself but some businesses may be closed.

Know before you go

Some campsites in the area are seasonal: check opening dates before traveling.
If you choose to wild camp, be sure to adhere to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
While you can get around Skye by bus, having your own transport offers far more flexibility.
There is a small shopping area in Armadale where you can buy essentials. For bigger purchases, try Portree.
The weather on Skye is always unpredictable. Even in summer, you should bring warm, waterproof gear.
