Nine campsites here offer everything from traditional pitches to more unusual options – Mangersta Croft Wigwams, rated 4.9 from 128 reviews, sits at the higher end of comfort – and most cluster around strong ratings. The Eyrie and Eilean Fraoich both hold 4.5 stars across several hundred reviews, while Ardroil achieves 4.6 from nearly 200. This is plainly a destination built around outdoor, self-sufficient travel rather than hotel convenience. ## Where to stay in Isle of Lewis [All hotels in Isle of Lewis →](https://staycation.co.uk/isle-of-lewis/hotels) [Stornoway Bed and Breakfast 29 And 32 Kenneth St, Stornoway](https://staycation.co.uk/stornoway/hotels/stornoway-bed-and-breakfast) [The Crown Inn Castle Street, Stornoway](https://staycation.co.uk/stornoway/hotels/the-crown-inn) [The Royal Hotel Cromwell Street, Stornoway](https://staycation.co.uk/stornoway/hotels/the-royal-hotel) [The Dragonfly 27 Francis Street, Stornoway](https://staycation.co.uk/stornoway/hotels/the-dragonfly) [Caladh Inn 11 James Street, Stornoway](https://staycation.co.uk/stornoway/hotels/caladh-inn) [Twenty Seven Newton Street, Stornoway](https://staycation.co.uk/stornoway/hotels/twenty-seven) [Hebridean Guest House 61 Bayhead Street, Stornoway](https://staycation.co.uk/stornoway/hotels/hebridean-guest-house) [The Cabarfeidh Hotel Manor Park, Perceval Road South, Stornoway](https://staycation.co.uk/stornoway/hotels/the-cabarfeidh-hotel) ## Things to Do in Isle of Lewis(4) [All attractions in Isle of Lewis →](https://staycation.co.uk/isle-of-lewis/attractions) About things to do in Isle of Lewis For things to do, there is the Arnol Black House, a historical site rated 4.5 from 700 reviews that has clearly become a standard visit for anyone exploring the island.
