Camping Spot Description
This is a site with plenty of scope for exploring on land and in the water. The view of the mountain range(Cuillins)is spectacular and when the weather changes can be very moody. (For a mobile signal you will have to climb the hills behind the site).
Getting There
Directions: 
After crossing Skye bridge follow the A87 towards Broadford. (This is the best place to stock up). Continue for half mile and turn left on B8083 for Kilbride. Take a left fork on minor road until reaching the track. Head South on track for Suisnish, and make camp.
Access: 
Walkers and 4x4's. Not for large vehicles.
