I've just come back from 4 nights on Skye, with a large tent. The first night we tried to spend at Sligachan, which is at the foot of the Cuillin hills, on the edge of a loch. The wind was howling, and we ended up snapping a tent pole. Some friendly people offered us the use of a spare tent (it was only just a two man!) so after a small deliberation in the pub, helped by the continuing gale and rain, we opted to "camp" in the self-catering hostel up the road! (Which was fantastic by the way!)
We spent the next three nights at Torvaig, just outside Portree. The site is quite sloping in places, but roomy and if you arrive early, I'm sure you would find a flattish spot. The warden is very friendly, the toilet blocks and showers were spotlessly clean, and it was £4 per night, which also made it one of the cheapest sites we stayed at in Scotland. There wasn't any specific facilities for kids (although I didn't look) but it was 5 mins in the car or 20 mins walk into Portree, where there are all the facilities. Not superb views, but you could see the hills, once the rain lifted! It seemed to be quite sheltered though, and not too midgy. I'd definitely go back!
