About

South Nesting in Shetland takes its name from the parish around Skellister, where South Nesting Hall carries the postcode ZE2 9PP.

A 4.2 out of 5 average across 25 reviews marks this campsite as one that a steady stream of visitors have taken the trouble to write about. Lerwick and Scalloway lie within reach, and Brae, Yell, Unst, Whalsay and Bressay sit further out across the islands. The hall's website at southnestinghall.co.uk carries the booking and contact side of the operation.

Shetland's position between the North Sea and the Atlantic shapes what a stay here involves, and British islands of this kind are reached by car ferries, passenger ferries and, in some cases, scheduled flights. Crab, lobster, scallops, mackerel and oysters landed by small boats are central to island food, so eating locally is straightforward.

British islands have mild, wet and changeable weather, warmed by the Gulf Stream and often windy, which is worth packing for on any camping trip. Island life centres on harbours, lifeboat stations and the RNLI, with regattas and fetes in summer, so the calendar fills up once the season starts.
