Camping is on a grassy stretch surrounding the hostel and overlooking beautiful white sands and turquoise waters. There is only really one road on Berneray, leading across a causeway from North Uist and running round the east side of this small island. With just one or two dead end side roads leading off, it's impossible to get lost.
We found the site quiet, with a small handful of campers scattered at widely spaced intervals around the area. There is no booking and no marked pitches - just find a space amongst the sheep.
We never saw the warden but left our payment (£6 per person per night) in a box in the hostel which allowed us the use of the facilities (apart from sleeping). We couldn't see any notices listing the charges, and only knew because we had looked up the website in advance.
Berneray hostel consists of two little whitewashed thatched cottages. In addition to the sleeping rooms, one building has a large communal room with a long wooden table, a wood burning stove, sink, power point, cooking facilities and lots of crockery while the other contains a shower, a couple of toilets and an outdoor water tap. It's basic, but adequate.
There were lots of flies in the toilet/shower area when we were there. If the weather is too rough for camping the hostel costs £10 a night for adults and £6 for children.
The views and the peace and quiet are priceless. From our tent we could watch the sunrise and saw otters swimming in the bay. If we returned we would take good binoculars. A road leading to the west side of the island passed through flower-strewn machair land to a long white deserted beach where we sat and watched the sunset.
North Uist is just a few minutes away. There is a shop and petrol at Lochmaddy and good meals served in the Lochmaddy Hotel.
