Reviewer: Jahovchill 1 review from this member

 I liked everything about this site. The location is amazing with white sands and turquoise sea. It is remote but everywhere on Lewis/Harris is.

It is ideal if you are in a campervan as the winds can get a little frisky. There are toilet and shower facilities which are cleaned every day. Showers cost £1 but they are hot and long. A campervan cost £10 for two people. There is also a shop a few miles from the campsite which seemed well stocked.

Finn who collects money is often about, he is lovely and a real character. He informs you about the history of the area, local walks and things to see near the campsite. As I had booked Finn had reserved the most fantastic pitch for us where we watched the sunrise coming up over the sea through our back window in the morning. At night we would watch is set from our fire on the beach.

It doesn't have parks for children but they don't need one. Children were playing until late on the beach. There was also a lot of swimmers who braved the cold atlantic.

We did fall lucky with the weather and I expect in a tent in bad weather it may not be much fun.

 Great position, not crowded during the week when we were there.

Really need male and female signs on family toilets / washrooms, very confusing and no locks on outer door, so difficult to comply with 'one family only' policy.

Hook up area is a bit rough, be nice to have this facility in other areas.

 The site itself is very well positioned next to the most amazing beach with turquoise water and white sand. We were also blessed with the most fantastic weather which helps wherever you are!

We booked hook up and a pitch to put up our awning. The pitches at the hook up area are extremely cramped with very little space in between, barely six foot if that! We were lucky when we arrived that an end pitch was free which enabled awning space otherwise you would have no chance!

The rest of the site is a little chaotic but it is mainly locals from the Island that come down for the weekend, so on Sunday evening they had all left leaving it fairly quiet.

Finn, who takes your money is a lovely guy and knows everything you would need to know about the area!

We didn’t use the facilities as we are self sufficient but they looked very nice.

All in all a fabulous holiday, we used the site as a base but would not normally book somewhere where the units are so close together- definitely a health and safety issue!

 Wow what a location! We booked a EHU for our motorhome which are further back from the sea so don’t have a full sea view but only a very short distance.

There was only one other motorhome on EHU all the other campers were in tents, caravans or smaller vans using other power.

The shower blocks are basic but very clean, although we didn’t use them. Washing machine and washing up facilities available. Fresh drinking water on tap. Chemical Disposal at the rear of the toilet block was fine. We were told to allow grey water to drain freely.

We paddle boarded from the beach and it was amazing around the island. Best bit of our stay was meeting Finn (warden) for this community run facility. What a character and so very helpful.

Cost for one night on EHU with facilities was £15.

 Large stunning beach which never felt crowded.

Unfortunately the motor home serviced pitches are by the shower/toilet blocks which means a lot of foot traffic going past.

Also with the static caravans for rent it sometimes feels more like butlins than a proper campsite with lots of kids running about mad until well after 11pm and normal campsite etiquette goes out the window, so it depends what you want from your camping experience.

 This was our second visit to Bhaltos. If the weather is good it has to be one of the best locations going. The 2 miles of beautiful white sandy beach is right in front of the site.

You're facing NW and there isn't a lot of protection if the wind gets up! If the weather is kind, a pitch at the front, overlooking the beach, is a winner.

There are some more sheltered pitches further back, you won't get the view but may survive the wind. Finn charged us £5 pppn and the showers take £1 too.

Fantastic area. Visit the scallop shack and the museum at Uig.

The Uig restaurant was good and there is a shop and fuel at Uig about 15 minutes drive.

Still a favourite.

 Huge site with plenty of room in a fabulous location but the electric hook up area is very cramped.

A large number of seasonal pitches means that it is very busy at weekends and school holidays- those who enjoy a quieter experience may wish to avoid these times.

We did not find many restaurants in the area apart from Uig Sands which has a very limited menu.

 Stunning location, lovely site, chicks needed as uneven, but what a view, has EHU pitches but you don’t get the view so did without.

Lovely site and a view to die for

Reviewer: Astral weeks 11 reviews from this member

 We arrived during a gale. You go through a gate and choose your own pitch. We decided on a flat site between 2 permanently moored caravans since they offered a little bit of shelter. We eventually managed to get the tent up and cook some dinner. Finn came round and relieved us of £20 for 2 nights and gave us the full story of the site and the caravans and many other things. The wind dropped and we walked the beautiful white sands which were 20 yards away over the machair.

The next day the sun was nearly out and the wind had dropped. We went to the see the standing stones, had a scallop burger at the Scallop Shack and sat on the Uig sands having a picnic hoping to find a chessman. Back at the site the wind was rising again and the rain restarted which was quire good as it stopped the midges feasting on me.

By 2. 00am it had reached gale force and that's when the tent ripped in half. I slept through since we were in our separate pod and in the morning after breakfast we managed our quickest dismantling from a site ever. We just tipped the remains of the tent into the nearest bin. Luckily there is an Argos in Stornoway so got a new tent.

Despite all of this we both thought what a great site this was. The facilities all worked, plenty of hot water, showers, loos, £10 a night. I have paid a lot more and got a lot less. It is on the common grazing land and all the money raised goes to the local community so good luck to them and I hope it pays for a few good nights over the long winter.

Finn tells me early summer is the best time to go, less wind and no midges.

 This is a local community run site. Location is amazing on edge of beach in quiet backwater. However only 4 - 6 EHU close to facilities. Close together and really for overnight stop overs and really only space for 4.

Views minimal from EHU area. Various interesting features locally (archaeological, food outlets, especially Uig community cafe and museum) and nearby - cycle or drive.

Facilities poor used by lot people on (and off site despite notice not to). Showers electric and £1 but only small cubical with curtain, basically had to change in open toilet area.

Chemical disposal point but no grey water facility.

Local site manager visited twice daily but not on site (contactable by phone). Prebooked and pitch marked but other inconsiderate caravan had re-orientated and made access very difficult)

Priced at £20 per night poor value.

 Stayed here in June 2018. Not many touring spaces as most is taken up with seasonal caravans. Facilities are fine, the location is amazing. Would visit again without hesitation.

Just drive into site and find a space. Fin will visit later in the day to collect money.

 Staying in paradise comes at a cost! Fabulous location, however facilities were very dirty, rarely cleaned and smelt of urine.

Campsite attendant was elusive, spent most of his time socialising in camper vans rather van cleaning. Shame as the location is epic.

Reviewer: GillOK 8 reviews from this member

 4th campsite out of 11, 4 adults and a car, no dog or children, touring Skye and the Outer Hebrides. Had booked for at least one night. Undulating dunes, so levellers definitely needed.

Pitches difficult to define, but Finn appeared after we'd settled in. He had kindly reserved a spot for us overlooking the beach, however, due to the size of our van and the dampness, we decided to stay where we were. Amazing views of the beach, also meant that you'd be very exposed to the elements.

Great place for any watersport, surfing and the like. This is very remote, but the scenery and beautiful beach make up for that. Toilets and showers were very clean. Definitely worth a visit. I'm glad we stayed there.
