General

Spectacularly scenic site on the shores of the Hebridean Isle of Lewis
A 25-minute drive from Stornoway and 20 minutes from sandy beaches
Five minutes’ walk from café and gift shop at Callanish Visitor Centre

In the market for an oh-so-scenic getaway out in the wilds? Callanish Camping could well fit the bill… The site hugs the shores of the Isle of Lewis – the northernmost of Scotland’s Outer Hebrides – less than five minutes’ drive from the tiny village of Callanish.

Lewis is chock-full of neolithic sites and one of the most famous of these, Callanish Stones, is within almost absurdly easy reach. A five-minute stroll from base will bring guests to the Callanish Visitor Centre where, after exploring the exhibition detailing the stones’ history, an easy saunter will lead to the stone circle that's stood on this spot for nearly 5,000 years.

The Visitor Centre is also a good spot for local eats in the café (although microwaves and electric kettles are provided on site for folk who prefer to whip up their own snacks, and the use of barbecues is allowed). There’s a gift shop here too, so make a beeline when it’s time to pick up some souvenirs.

Prefer to venture beyond Callanish entirely? Those who haven’t travelled by car – or rented one on arrival – can hire bikes in the village for two-wheeled explores of the island.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Liked:

Small and peaceful site overlooking the water. Good size for 2 people with comfortable camp beds, mat and small head cushions. Multiple outdoor seats with a small table attached to the side. These can also be used inside. Good size space to sit outside with lighting present. 5 mins walk from the Callanish Visitors Centre which has a cafe providing food and drink. Also bus stop just outside. Great help via email from host Kathy.

Disliked:

Shower and toilet too far away from pods but a resolution is underway I believe. Make sure you have change to use the shower. Path to pods a bit uncomfortable underfoot and a big step up to the pods which might prove difficult for some people with mobility issues.

Liked:	Lovely view
Disliked:	We wer disappointed that we didnt know before arrival or at the time of booking that there was a lengthy walk form your car to the pods with all your stuff , the toilet/shower block was where you park the car so you had to walk back and forward

From the manager...

Thank you for your comments. Unfortunately due to the location and terrain we are unable to have car parking any closer to the pods, but we hope that by next year the toilet/shower pod will be shifted over beside the other pods.

Liked:	Host Cathy. Fabulous pod in fabulous location. Wild and blustery weather outside but very cosy and comfy in the pod. Couldn’t have wished for better experience . Pod near CALLANISH stones on Isle of Lewis with local bus connecting from Stornaway. If you want a remote exciting place this is it.

Local attractions

The Isle of Lewis is a particularly pretty spot for explores, with lochs, moorlands and distant mountains to feast eyes upon. Start with trips to the sandy beaches of Dalmore and Dalbeg, both 20 minutes’ drive from the site, to take in the views and hopefully catch some waves – the surfing on Lewis is renowned.

Further afield, the stunning Mangersta beach (45 minutes) is certainly worth a visit for its sands and its sea stacks, and the white sands of Eoropie beach on the Butt of Lewis, the islands’ most northerly point, are a must for scenic strolls.

Returning to the dry, getting a feel for the island’s history should be a part of any itinerary on Lewis, so make a trip to Gearrannan Blackhouse Village (20 minutes) to experience the lives of old crofting families, getting an insider look at everything from weaving to traditional homemade fare in the café. Call in to the Blackhouse in Arnol (30 minutes) too – it’s set up exactly as it was in the 1960s, so smell the peat smoke, peek inside the box-beds and begin to understand the history.

For more modern days, head along to Stornoway, the capital of Lewis. The port town is the departure point for ferries to the mainland, but also has museums, castle grounds and a loom centre to explore, as well as a handful of shops and restaurants.
