 Friendly welcome and shown around. The black house was useful if needed as it contained a microwave, kettle, fridge freezer. Also large communal table and sofas, also one of the toilet/shower facilities which was always clean.
The campsite is quite a quirky layout, be prepared to hand carry all your stuff to the selected pitch which is downhill from the car parking area.
I was in a small frame tent so quite a bit of lugging needed.
I had a relatively sheltered spot from the winds which over 2 days reached 50+mph with driving rain but the tent survived. Just
The ground was then quite damp around but didn't give any major problems
Lovely to hear the cuckoo and other birds without traffic or even people, even saw a deer early one morning but sadly no otter here.
There is another separate toilet with 2 shower units some distance from the black house one but if busy could be a problem however they are building more and renovating another black house, also proposing a sauna overlooking the bay!

This campsite was unique but personally felt too close to wild camping due to the set up.
The black house itself was a quirky area and the site was close to travelling around Harris
The facilities could definitely be improved including the shower as it was mouldy.

As the weather was quite wet whilst there it was good to have the black house to use. This had a microwave, kettle, fridge freezer. Also large communal table and sofas.
We were in a 2-3 man tent. Our pitch was sheltered but under trees. The campsite is full of character and most suitable for small 1-2 person tents as they get the view.
It can accommodate a few campervans but they are in the parking area by the road.
As it is by the water and trees it is a bit prone to midgys.
There are limited toilet and shower facilities which was fine whilst we were there but may be an issue if busy.

A wonderful place to hear nothing but the wildlife.
Beautiful spot for us to pitch our tent. Quirky and well loved site with little touches around the place that made us smile.
Good facilities and the Blackhouse is so cosy.
Owner is great and we can't wait to be back!

We stayed here 1 night and to be honest I was a bit nervous before we arrived as some of the reviews for motorhome parking weren’t that great however, I found we shouldn’t have worried as our stay was great.
Greig, the site owner, is so welcoming and the facilities are great (even though they are not the most luxurious). The camping spots do look amazing. We saw one tent overlooking the water where they saw an otter. The Yurts look really cool as well.
Only think I would say is take plenty of midge repellent as due to the location in the trees there are a lot.
To get to the site the roads are very, very challenging with lots of sharp bends on single track road. Would not recommend driving it in bad conditions.
Would recommend if you like somewhere a little quirky. Would give Greig 10/10

Only site available in East Harris.
Only space for a few Motorhomes.
Facilities open (toilets showers etc. )
Site could probably be a bit midgy when wind drops as lots of undergrowth.
Nice welcome from owners

After our previous nights disaster (see my review of Traigh Na Beirigh ) it was fairly important that any site we next went to was sheltered. We had a look at a couple of unsuitable other ones and then arrived at Lickisto. It was windy and raining and there was Grieg shovelling stones at the car park and very pleased to see us (even though he didn't know we were coming). He took us down to the site and showed us a couple of pitches. We chose one which which was sheltered by willows on a slight slope. He then showed us around the rest of the site.
Our emplacement was sheltered which meant there is was no wind to blow away the midges even in the rain, so once we had got our (new) tent up we retired to the communal Blackhouse. There we met our fellow campers and glampers, or in our case dampers.
There were people from the tents, the yurts and the camper vans. Some people had driven, some had come by bike or bus, others had walked. The blackhouse has a microwave and a small grill/oven but most people were using their own camping stoves.
There is a fridge/freezer which was useful for producing ice for our 6 o'clock martinis. There is a log burning stove and settees and a long table. Also there is an en suite loo and shower.
In fact it was all so sociable, dry, warm and midge free we only used the tent for sleeping.
The actual site is on a slope with lots of semi secluded pitches. It leads down to the sea where I had been promised seals and otters but nobody had told the seals and otters.
If I was to ever go back to the Isles of Harris this is where I would stay. I have already recommended it to a couple whom I met walking in South Uist.
There is not a lot to do in Harris especially if it is raining. Our highlight was a drive out to Hushinish and climbing the hill where with a bit of squinting you can just make out St Kilda. No otters or seals though.

Location - on winding road on east South Harris - for motorhome / campervan basically overnight stopover on level gravel area for 3 units. Steep drive access.
Sheltered from all but NE.
Facilities quirky - in two separate adapted stone 'black houses'. Access on gravel paths on hillside garden. Shower cubicle in drafty room (no external door in this building), basically ok, no extra charge.
Proprietor 'laid back', lives on site, pitch prebooked but not very clear instructions in confined area.
Kitchen in adapted stone blackhouse with large sitting area but dark and dingy, (looked great for the campers).
Priced at £20 per night good value include EHU
