Welcome to Skeld Caravan Site

Park Facilities

The caravan park and campsite at Skeld is modern and exceptionally well-equipped, it is a peaceful and friendly site, and every visitor receives a warm welcome.

We have an excellent well kept sheltered flat grassy park for campers (23 metres x 50 metres) which can accommodate around 15 tent pitches. We also have a choice of two hard standing areas for 19 caravans and campervans. One of which borders the grassy area near the amenity building and the other has beautiful views overlooking the harbour and marina, the area is lit at night.

A new purpose built amenity building was opened in 2009 which provides easy access for wheelchair users. The facilities include:

Toilets and showers which are fully equipped with the required rails and handles for disabled users
A kitchen area with toaster, kettle, microwave, fridge, dishes, tables and chairs
A laundry room with washing machine, dryer, pulley, iron and ironing board. There is also outside drying facilities including washing line, pegs and a basket
Hairdryer
Indoor board games
WiFi
Information leaflets and brochures
We also have good on-site facilities which include:

Public telephone
Wildlife hyde – which is good for spotting birds, seals and otters
Picnic tables between pitches, some with table top games on
Play areas at the school and a play park next to the hall, all within a five minute walk
Electric power points provided for each pitch
A chemical toilet disposal and waste water disposal on site
Dogs are also allowed on site
You can also buy fresh shellfish from the local fishermen who often land crabs, lobsters and scallops at the pier.
Other close by amenities include:

A local cheese factory; small shop and cafe just five minutes from the campsite
A nearby Coop, which is just 10 miles away
A local bus service which leaves once a day and connects to the main service at Bixter. This will then take you onto Lerwick.
A filling station
A gas truck which comes to the area every week. Where we can we will help with any supplies, gas exchange etc.
About Skeld

The picturesque village of Skeld is on the West side of Shetland and is one of Her best kept secrets. The views are quite spectacular. As you make your way into Skeld, you will not be disappointed. The beautiful marina and waterfront encompasses the campsite.

The shore scape varies from the dramatic cliffs of the outer coast to long voes (sea inlets), which extend far into the heathery hills and green croft land. Whatever the wind direction, you can always find a sheltered beach.

Many a day when the East coast of Shetland is smothered in sea fog, the Westside is gloriously sunny. It happens particularly in summer, when south-easterly winds pick up moisture from the North Sea: as the clammy air passes over the hills of Shetland it warms and dries, clearing away the mist.

The old village of Skeld was a very busy place in the nineteenth century. Fish was landed at Skeld, salted, dried and then exported to Spain. This led to the employment of 50-60 men as sail makers, carpenters, coopers and blacksmiths. At the head of Skeld Voe is the congregational church built in 1863.

The food here is delicious! If you're comfortable with using chop sticks then let them know because otherwise you'll be stuck with knives and forks.
