Barra Sands Campsite

Liked Great location, the welcome was really cheerful. Nice site, clean, laid back, with great views, close to the beach and The Croft Kitchen Honesty Box cakes nearby were worth a visit. Derrick, the site manager was really helpful with local advice, and he helped me out when I had a flat tyre so that I could get back to the mainland, and homeward bound.

Liked Facilities blocks were warm and well equipped with fridges and washing up and heated towel rails - spacious and clean.
Clear signage and information on site. Friendly welcome and friendly owner.
Lovely views over the bay.
Good value.

Disliked Bit confusing whether we as a M & F couple could do the washing up together or access the fridge in a specific gender labelled facilities block.

The listing says/implies there is direct beach access... this is not the case without crossing land obviously labelled as no access. Meaning it is actually a 20+mins walk to access the beach via road (fine for us, but if the weather was nicer and we wanted to spend more time on beach with SUPs etc this would have been disappointing for us).

Liked Loved everything about this site! Very well organised, clean facilities and friendly host. Short drive to a gorgeous beach. Dog friendly. Highly recommend.

Liked Exceptionally friendly/ helpful owner. Exceptionally clean toilets and showers… with music. Washing machine and clothes line. Excellent recycling facilities. Whole site very well maintained, central location with gorgeous beach/ sea views. 😊👍

Liked Location, & small size of site.
Clean, well maintained site. Nice well cleaned shower block.
Site manager as nice an individual as you would wish to meet.

Disliked The weather wasn’t the best, but it’s Scotland, the wind & rain was coming straight off the Atlantic. Couple of days the sun began to shine & it was perfect.

Liked The reception from Derek the campsite owner was excellent . The toilets and showers were always clean and well stocked with toilet rolls handwash and hot water. The site is situated with excellent views of the Atlantic and surrounding hills. The beach with beautiful white sands and torquoise water was a short walk from the site.

Disliked Just the usual Scottish weather and I am Scottish.We are always optimistic when it comes to weather.

Liked A delightful gem of a campsite. I was greeted by campsite owner Derek who was super helpful. The site is clean and well cared for. The facilities are really great with music to enjoy whilst washing up. The views from the campsite are tremendous and the beaches just stunning. An all round gem.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Liked Super Aussicht, ruhig, sehr gute Sanitäranlagen mit Musik, freundlicher Besitzer

Disliked zu kurzer Aufenthalt, Müll am Strand (vom Meer)

Liked Everything, Derek very good host 😀 handy for ferry, toilets and showers nice and clean

Liked Lovely clean toilet and shower facilities. Unfortunately we’re there in a storm so didn’t make the most of all the information available about walks etc.
