Electric optional grass touring pitch

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.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked: Clean, warm shower and toilet facilities, friendly staff (John) and beautiful views

Disliked: Beach access- whilst the campsite overlooks a beautiful beach, it's a 15-20 min walk to a jetty at the far end of the beach before you can access the beach, all the land surrounding the campsite is private croft and there are no public paths

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked: Clean, warm shower and toilet facilities. Good space to wash dishes and a fridge to store cold items. A washing machine was available at an additional cost but great they had one on offer. Site management were helpful and always on hand.

Disliked: Bathroom could benefit from a Hairdryer. Satnav takes you too a point just before site. additional site signage would be great.

Local attractions

When you think you’ve got to know Barra, head to the CalMac terminal (10 minutes' drive) and catch a ferry to neighbouring Uist, where you can visit the remains of 18th-century Ormacleit Castle or the ruined home of Jacobite heroine Flora MacDonald before heading to Loch Druidibeag for a spot of birdwatching. Also on Uist (specifically North Uist) is Taigh Chearsabhagh Museum & Arts Centre, where displays, photographs and a sculpture trail illustrate the local Gaelic heritage. You might also catch musical performances here, or just grab a bite to eat from the on-site café. The Hebridean Way, which links Vatersay (half an hour) to the Butt of Lewis, on Lewis and Harris, is a long-distance hiker or cyclist’s dream, taking in 10 islands with spectacular coastlines, hilly landscapes and archaeological sites like Cladh Hallan, where some prehistoric mummies were unearthed in the early 2000s.
