Port a Bhaigh Campsite is a scenic, family-run campsite overlooking the Summer Isles from Scotland’s northwest coast.

We are open to guests 365 days a year!

Port a Bhaigh Campsite

We can be found in Altandhu, a hamlet approximately 5 miles northwest of Achiltibuie on the Coigach Peninsula. The grounds upon which the campsite sits were formerly the owners’ family croft, passed down through generations for the cultivation of livestock and vegetables. However, in 2009, the family croft was repurposed to form Port a Bhaigh campsite, welcoming happy campers ever since..

Port a Bhaigh means ‘Port of the bay’ in Scottish Gaelic, a language still prominently spoken around the Western Isles. The campsite is named as such because of a small port on the shoreline, ideal for launching small boats or kayaks onto Loch an Alltain Duibh and the Minch (the Atlantic sea channel between mainland Scotland and the Outer Hebrides). This port, alongside the stunning landscapes of the nearby Summer Isles, contributes to Port a Bhaigh spectacular coastal scenery.

 Verified Lovely beachside campsite on west coast Delightful little campsite well off the beaten track and located right on the shore of a stony beach with a stunning view. Reception staff were friendly and a very easy check in. Pitches for tents and electric hook ups are well marked and offer plenty of room. All are only a short walk from the sea. Great little on site shop which sells everything you need but prices especially alcohol are a little higher than normal. Toilets and showers were spotlessly clean whatever time we visited and plenty of hot water, although you do have to keep pressing the button to keep water flowing. There is a good wash up facility alongside a laundry area and there are microwave and kettles for tent users to use. There is also a waste point for grey water and toilet waste . Located just across the road from a great pub which looked like it served good food , but it was very busy so recommend you book. Only downside to our stay ; the pub was a little noisy on Friday and Saturday night with music and guests leaving , and our pitch was very close to the parking area for the bands/roadies for the music festival running that weekend . This meant cars and people coming in and out all the time , and several vehicles parked right outside our outdoor area meaning it was difficult to be private and sit outside and enjoy the glorious weather we had . However it didn't spoil our weekend too much and we are already re-booked to attend next years festival . Highly recommend anyone looking for a place to stay on the West Coast

 Verified Our favourite campsite Doing the NC500 but after visiting this site 4 years ago, we had to do a 2 night stay. Camp is beautifully kept as was the welfare. The staff are lovely, and the shop had more than adequate supplies. The views from the site are out of this world, and being at the front was magical although we were at the back the first time and still had wonderful views. The Am Fuaran Bar outside the camp entrance (which I believe is linked) is stunning as is it's food, but book in advance. It may be quite a remote area but it's well popular and I realised why. A must go to campsite for all

 Verified Great Lovely site, friendly staff. It’s a campsite with a beach, wifi, a shop that’s open 12 hours a day and a decent pub 2 mins walk away. Toilets were fine. Only gripe is that you can’t actually see the summer islands despite being so close but we will be back!

 Verified Wonderful Another fantastic trip. Spotless and excellent shop and facilities. They really are so friendly. If you want to escape this is the place. Phone reception and internet loads better this year but that never bothered us before anyway. Thanks to all the staff. See you next year

 Verified Excellent staycation Excellent campsite with everything you need. I missed the notes on facilities that included a microwave, fridge, freezer and kettle to those campers that haven't brought any of this. Excellent seafood / menu at local restaurant just 2min walk from campsite. Very friendly staff and beach did not have any jellyfish unlike the disappointment 1hr away at achmelvcich. We would not venture to achmelvich again as Port a Bhaigh campsite had everything you needed or wanted. Only thing missing is a play park for the kids while parents set up camp. Can't wait to be back, thank you for such an amazing stay x

 Verified Great Place to Stay We had a really lovely four nights here in our motorhome in May. Great site, clean facilities, friendly staff and brilliant location. The view was amazing and to be able to just wander down to the shore was wonderful. The scenery of the area is outstanding - just don't expect to travel anywhere fast! We would definitely come back here again.

 Verified Worth driving off route to visit! Lovely peaceful campsite, private beach with a beautiful view of the sea. Little shop on site with all the essentials you may need. Clean showers and toilets. Also a great space for washing, small kitchen, water refill and waste disposal. Also can be sheep wandering around on the beach.

Really friendly owner , a little well stocked shop on site and a pub up the road , lovely setting by the sea and beautifully clean shower and toilet block, hot showers , laundry room and fridge / freezers and microwave. Cannot recommend this site enough, plus the drive in was just stonking ! Will certainly be back

 Verified Lovely Site We stayed here in our converted VW Crafter Campervan as a family of 4 (two adults, two children… and a dog!) for one night between Christmas and New Year. Access, like many of the roads in the Highlands, was by a single track road but as always there was plenty of parking places. We had contacted the site in advance to book a pitch but were told that due to the time of year this would not be necessary, and indeed when we got there the lovely lady in the reception was more than happy to allocate us a pitch and tell us where everything was. The reception is in the site’s small shop which has all the essentials and we were able to purchase some blue & pink fluid for the camper’s toilet. The weather was windy and rainy on and off (expected at this time of year) but we still had a brilliant view out to sea and were not troubled with the wind. Toilets and showers were clean and spacious, an indoor washing up area was a bonus and there was also clothes-washing facilities if required. Mobile phone signal and WiFi is non-existent unless you are up at the toilet block/shop building where you can log into the site WiFi. Well worth driving off the main NC500 for and we would have no hesitation in coming back.
