What visitors say
Excellent location for small campsite, owner was very friendly. Facilities were okay but could have a little more such as a dryer/drying room. I don’t feel you should have to pay for showers when already paying for the campsite fee (most campsites don’t charge), and you only got 5 mins. Otherwise a fantastic campsite.

Wow! Beautiful site. Walk through the gate and 100 yards down the slope and you are on one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. Stunning white sand for miles, turquoise water, fabulous sunsets. Ideal for walking and dogs. Host Derek is wonderfully friendly and super helpful. Great facilities and super clean - don’t forget your £ coins for the shower! Very highly recommended!

This is a grassy site where it is possible to get level if you are lucky. There are two showers and two toilets each for men adn women and a wash up sink in each of the small blocks. We received a friendly welcome and could choose a pitch. The showers are continous and adjustable and £1 for five minutes and they are kept clean and the site is tidy. You can walk to the beach from the site and follow a walk around the north end of Barra too.

Stayed 10th - 12th May. Really nice little site, owner Derek very welcoming, lovely facilities. We were camping and glad of a sturdy tent as it was very windy at times - there are handy windbreaks though which helped. Easy access to a glorious beach, and wonderful to hear the corncrakes.
