Campsites with WiFi near Uig

Set picturesquely around a bay on the rugged Trotternish Peninsula, at the northern end of the Isle of Skye, the little village of Uig positions you within easy access of some of the island’s best attractions. Within a 25-minute drive you can reach Kilt Rock and the otherworldly Quiraing landslip, which is much-loved by walkers. You’ll also be within walking distance of the enchantingly unusual landscapes of the Fairy Glen and Rha Waterfalls, as well as the ferry port for services to the outer islands of North Uist and Harris. Add in a couple of cozy pubs and you have the perfect spot to lay your head.

Staying in Uig lets you take advantage of the village’s amenities while also enjoying a rural escape.  A stroll along Uig Pier is a great way to get a perspective on the village and take in the hustle and bustle as the ferries make their way to and from the Outer Isles. You can also stop into the adjacent Isle of Skye Brewing Company’s store to sample some of their excellent real ales. A stone’s throw away, Uig Bay Campsite offers hard-standing pitches along the seashore.

The weather is at its best in the summer months but so are visitor numbers at their highest. If you can cope with cooler temperatures and (most likely) rain, you can avoid the biggest crowds by visiting in a quieter month, such as April/May or September/October. Winter visitors can be sure of a crowd-free (and chilly) experience but some businesses may be closed.

• Some campsites in the area are seasonal: check opening dates before travelling.
• 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.
• The shops of Portree are your best bet for stocking up on food and supplies.
• The weather is always unpredictable. Even in summer, you should bring warm, wet weather gear, especially if planning to walk on the Quiraing where there is no shelter.
