 This is another lovely campsite. The position is excellent, on the coast, directly overlooking the sea. When we stayed here the electricity was not connected so hook-up and hot water/showers were not available. The owner, Donald, was working hard to get it sorted. He had been let down by the electricity company. In fact, it was being connected the day we left, so all should be in order now.
The facilities are good - all new, in a newly built toilet block. When finished, there will be a campers kitchen and washing machine along with the showers and toilets. Also facilities for the disabled.
Borve is about a 15 minute drive from the ferry at Castlebay. It is a pleasant walk into Castlebay along the road or the bus can be taken. There is a hotel just along the road, about a 10 minute walk, where there is a bar and restaurant. There are lovely walks all around Borve - up into the hills, including up Heaval or along the coast to visit the beautiful beaches where there are seals and the chance to see dolpins.

Still very much a work in progress. They had 2 toilets working when we were there but no showers, electricity, lighting, EHU etc and the toilet block etc was a bit of a building site but owner aware and admitted he is starting to get complaints. When finished it will be lovely had he had 2 workmen working into the evenings so hopefully this will be soon.
The views are amazing and the price for 2 of us and the dog in the van was £8 per night.
200 meters down the road is the Beach Hotel where the bar is rather basic with no windows and the chairs are deck chairs which is rather uncomfortable but it is dog friendly and food is OK.

Nestled between the road and the sea, Donald has crafted a sheltered 'green step' with space for 18 pitches. As a site he is the first to admit that it is a work in progress, so far in this first year water supply and refuse collection are the only facilities, but with great plans for next year.
However, with a view of the sunset from just about anywhere on the site and the rocky beach just over the fence, many people will agree with me that it is enough. Donald has taken a great deal of trouble to create a reasonably level site, with an easy entrance ramp down from the road.
At the moment you can simply show up and pitch, Donald will come round in the evening to have a chat and collect his modest charge of £8/night for a large motorhome.
Chemical waste can be disposed of at the ferry terminal in Castlebay about three miles away. (A point about that. No-where on Barra could we find Loo fluid. Donald brough us some back from Uist! - He plans to hold some in stock in future. )
All in all, a nice casual site, wonderful views, and all the help you could hope for from Donald, -and some splendid potatoes! On an island with few facilities for motorhomes, a refreshing change.
