17 Best Campsites on Skye for Camping & Glamping

Yep, it’s possible to wild camp on the Isle of Skye, and you can pretty much pitch up your tent wherever and whenever you want.

Scotland has a so-called ‘Right to Roam’ policy, which allows campers to set up and sleep anywhere they like (assuming it’s not private property, such as someone’s house or garden or whatever).

When it comes to wild camping in a campervan, things are a little more complicated.

Theoretically, “access rights do not extend to any motorised activities”… so you shouldn’t just park up wherever you like. That said, if you park your campervan in a logical spot where you won’t be interfering with people or traffic or wildlife, you should be okay. And if you want to overnight in a public place, like a pub parking lot or something, make sure you ask permission.
