 What an absolutely Amazing location on the beautiful Isle of Barra.
Croft 2 is a small campsite which is relatively secluded from the elements compared to our last visit to the Borve site near to castlebay.
The campsite is owned and maintained by Angus with the assistance of his so, who we found to be very engaging and helpful.
The site is small and is broken up into 3 sections. When we arrived it was busy and we were met by Angus who offered us a pitch outside the main area near to his garage. All of the pitches are uneven and will require some manoeuvring to achieve a comfortable position.
The site is idyllic and is about 50 meters from white sands and a fairly sheltered part of sea. We were able to use our paddle boards which was an amazing experience beside the seals and porpoises(Angus has about 4/5 boards which he hires out to guests if you fancy it. )
We had no phone signal or WiFi which was a good detox from social media. Nearest 4G spot, my kids tell me was a short walk up to the wind turbine which you can see from the site.
The facilities at the site are very limited. Do not expect luxury. There is one block with 1 toilet a shower 2 sinks and a washing machine. There is electric hook up and the chemical waste is a toilet which has been dung into the ground in the middle of the campsite (which does not flush. )
We filled our amazing week in the water, fishing off the rocks at the Turbine, touring the amazing coffee shops a walk up Heavil and dinner at the lovey Kisimul restaurant in castlebay.
If you want to experience beautiful Barra at its natural best then this site is perfect. You won’t find a Caravan Club site with 5 star faculties anywhere in the Outer Hebrides so be prepared and just enjoy the amazing Isle.

Lovely site: close to fabulous beach, small, very friendly.
The perfect “get away from it all” venue.
Very nice new toilet / shower block.
Overall, great experience!

We arrived late, as that’s what time the ferry from Oban landed. Despite booking & paying a deposit. Site was full to bursting, we ended up off the main site on a area that sloped in 2 different ways, so blocks made it a little better, but still well off the level. Site had a lot of tents, & about a dozen MoHom/Caravans. There was 1 combined Shower/toilet. Queue was endless all evening, & same in the morning.
There was no respect for each other’s pitch space. Dogs, children running literally where they liked. We had a narrow 3ft strip of grass between us & a fence, kids (& an odd adult) walked down this strip, passed our door & looking in. Despite it being easier to go the opposite side of our Motorhome where there was a massive amount of space. Also there was noise till at least 11pm. Apart from collecting the fees, the Owner seemed to simply allow the site to run it’s self.
Will add that the Scenery was stunning, with white beaches. But sadly the sites chaos on how Motorhomes were allowed to park any way they wished, some parking at 90 decrees so taking up multiple spaces. Plus the total lack of decent facilities for £24. It really removed all the shine for us. Especially as the following night, at another site, It’s a world apart at £25.
We’ll definitely not return.

Resident cat constantly jumping on our tent through the night and using as a scratch post and burst the tent on the first day of our trip. Tent was brand new and inflatable so this was very distressing when you have kids to think of.
Owner was unsympathetic and took the 'oh well' approach. Did not try to help us at all, lucking the one shop on the island had a bike puncture repair kit that luckily held up the next night on Benbecula.
Really spoiled our experience of Barra.
Won't be back.

Croft No2 was a winner. We arrived at the end of October in terrible weather but Croft No2's location and nearby beach were so stunning that we forgot about that.
A lot of other places already shut for the winter and also Covid restrictions in place everywhere. Hamish the host was friendly and accommodating.
There are quite a few hook-ups with wood blocks to help level up and the nicest toilet block with hot electric shower and a washing machine - and one-way system set up for social distancing.
Also a large stable block provided some shelter from the wind

Croft no 2 is a lovely little site at the end of a quiet lane. Quite uneven ground but we managed to find a fairly flat spot. Angus was very informative in regards to local walks and wildlife. The beautiful beach is just across the road. There is only one toilet and shower and are in the same room, although they were clean and well maintained.

Great location adjacent to the beach. Basic but everything you need and the toilet was extremely clean.
Angus was very friendly.
You have to see the plane land on the beach. Yes, the beach. However, there are no local stores and you need to be self sufficient.
Would visit again.
