Brilliant campsite. New facilities block present, with toilets, showers, disabled loo/shower and kitchen. Honesty box used to give fee of only £2 per person, excellent value. But the real feature of this site is the fantastic location, right on the edge of a huge sandy beach. Great for walkers and dog lovers. No power is the only small negative for some motorhome users, but we thought it better for this.

As I live in the Isle of Lewis I visit this place regularly on my days out. As I have not yet stayed at this camp. It is high on my list. A new block has been built on this site giving the use of showers toilets with disabled use as well and a kitchen is in use. This camp is for tents and motorhomes only and is a must to visit. There is no power points on this site. Come and visit us in Lewis your visit will be well worth your trip.
The shop is a few miles back but you are bound to pass it on your way there. So give it a visit, on the way there I may meet you some time. Have a great day. I cannot give customer service a rating as I have not met up with the grazings reps yet. I will when I use the camp soon. I assume it in good old Lewis custom to be great.

Far more than expected, acres of white sand that is washed regularly by the sea. The sunsets are something else and overall a site not to be missed if on Lewis.
We spent three nights there and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. A very small sign at the entrance to the field tells you that it is £2 per person per night and to pay at No 6. Which is a walk back up the lane and across the road. (One of the things in the Outer Hebrides which impressed me as much as anything was the fact that honesty was taken for granted, often forgotten on the mainland).

This is a beautiful, unspoiled area, miles from anywhere, with minimal facilities. Camping is on a flat grassy area beside a wide expanse of white sands.
The sea can be seen and heard a few hundred metres away but as the site overlooks a sheltered inlet, the water, which covers the sands rapidly as the tide comes in, is calm. There are mountains round about, and a scattering of cottages.
This is an area of grazing land so there are no marked pitches. A narrow track leads from the main road (look for the sign to Ardroil Beach, toilets and picnic area; it isn't signposted as camping) to a small car park, picnic table and toilet block.
It then passes through a gap in the fence before gradually petering out on the grazing area. Caravans are not permitted in the camping area. The soil is very sandy so ordinary pegs will not hold well if the wind picks up.
The only facilities are the toilet block: two men's and two ladies' toilets, one of each having disabled facilities. The toilets are basic but are kept clean with toilet roll, soap dispenser and paper towels, and a very small washhand basin with a cold tap. There is no light in the toilets so take a torch for those night visits. Outside the block is a cold water tap. It is a 4 or 5 minute walk to the far end of the camping area.
Camping is £2 per person per night. A small sign asks campers to pay at Number 6, which is not the nearby cottage but back up the track by the main road. If there is no one in there is a coffee jar of money on the doorstep to drop payment into!
Mobile phone reception may be non-existent. We could not get Vodaphone or O2 without driving for miles.
About 5 or 10 minutes' drive back along the main (single track) road is the Uig shop which is very well stocked with food items. You can also get a cup of tea or coffee, and there is petrol. It takes the best part of an hour to drive from Uig to Carloway, and just over an hour to Stornoway. The roads are quiet and mostly on two-lane roads with some single track sections.

A better setting would be hard to find. Right next to the miles of sandy beach with a small loch within a few metres. Caravans are not allowed on the site – only tents and campervans. The charge is £2 per adult per night. Toilets at the gate on the way in – serviceable and clean, handwash and paper towels are kept well stocked and the bins emptied regularly.
To be fair what you have here is a view and total seclusion – you aren't paying for facilities and you don't get them. The views from the site are lovely and despite several other vehicles coming / going whilst we were there it was perfectly peaceful.
The Uig Community shop is only a couple of miles away and was amazingly well stocks, fresh breads, vegetables and practically anything else you could want to buy.
Just up the road is the Red River Distillery – a tiny distillery with a car park and visitors were welcome.
This isn't a campsite – its a community owned area where they are happy for you to stay for a couple of pounds per night – its beautiful scenery all the way down from the main road and the beaches and scenery really do make it a must to visit.
