 Went to this site for 2 nights as we didn't like the one we were originally booked on. This site is well located for going into Stornoway, less than 5 minutes drive away. There are two hardstanding areas for touring caravans. Access is OK although not much room to manoeuvre and space between caravans is on the small side. The showers are hot and clean but a bit dated. The owners were extremely friendly and the site is kept immaculate. There is a good area under the eaves for washing up etc. The site was full when we were there but it wasn't noisy. If you have a dog there is no dog walking area and you need to either be prepared to walk up the road and through the housing estate or jump in your car and drive 10 minutes to the local beach. I wouldn't choose to go to this site for a weeks holiday but if you're looking for some where to base yourself for a couple of days while exploring Stornoway and the adjacent area it's fine. Far better than the site at Shawbost.

We booked this campsite for the Heb Celt Festival this year and were travelling with 2 Mazda Bongo Campervans.
We had a very pleasant check in and were situated just opposite the reception building.
Site was very well maintained, ie gardens, standings etc.
Unfortunately we found the shower facilities and washing up area to be very disappointing. For accommodating festival goers, it could really do with at least 2-4 more shower cubicles as it seemed from 7am til late morning there was always a queue of at least 2 persons in front of you. Shower and toilet areas were very tired and in need of updating, the showers were cramped and not very clean, luckily I always carry flipflops for this reason.
Having said all this I am sure if you were to visit this site at an alternative time of the year, these below par standards would probably be a lot higher. The location of the park was ideal for the town centre and beach and it would be a very enjoyable stay outwith festival dates.

Very clean and well organised site. Check in was easy and straightforward, full explanation of procedures and locations explained fully. Hard standings and gravel pitches were more than adequate. Toilet block clean, showers worked, not over hot and a bit tight for me! Discovered another two showers adjoining reception were hotter, more powerful and roomier. Easy walking distance into Stornoway, plenty of shops nearby and buses stopped on main road.

Great site what a warm welcome. We had trouble with van arrived at 10am no problem let us stay for last 3 nights. Showers toilets all very clean. Lots of supermarkets in Stornoway. Prices just like home. We paid £21 a night large motorhome. Will defo go back may-june next year. We are 76years old. Isle of lewis and harris is well wort a visit. Lots of photo's of standing stones. Easy to find well marked and visited lots of tourist from overseas. Laxdale is short walk into Stornoway. Roads are first class. We rough camped with no trouble at all.

We stayed for 2 nights - pre-booked, and that was quite long enough, for the area was not the most picturesque of those we had stayed at on our island hopping adventure. The site was a good walk into the town of Stornoway (which was quite commercialised and with the usual 'chain' stores, could have been almost any town in the UK). A bus stop was at the end of the road but, we didn't use it.
As for the site itself, there appeared to be 2 areas of hardstanding for tourers. We were directed to a gravel one which was very cramped when 5 other large motorhomes also parked up. Turning/ getting in and out was a tad difficult for some. Unfortunately our pitch was directly overlooking 2 camping pods/ wigwams and each time we opened our door, we felt we were invading the privacy of our glamping neighbours. On a positive note, the EHU facility and water stand pipes were easily accessible.
Facilities were adequate and although appearing a little dated, served the purpose. Site owners were pleasant enough.
We had a dog with us and there appeared to be no dog walk as such. We tried walking up the road and ended up in a housing estate, then back along the main road. Not good with a young pup who needs exercising last thing at night and first thing in the morning.
The camping area seemed to be well organised and was busy, but not overcramped whilst we were there.

Decided to stop here a couple of nights whilst cycle touring the Hebrides.
The site has the advantage of being near the town, a bit of a walk but not far on a bike.
Its not a bad view from the site but there are better sites if its the view you want rather than the town.
The toilet block was clean and adequate. The owners were friendly.
Plenty of room for tents on a well maintained field.
Even though it was summer it was not crowded and was lovely and quiet in the evening. In the morning you may be woken by sheep who seem to be allowed to graze the field on occasions. I have no problem with this but be warned.
Dont leave food around because there are some opportunist gulls waiting to pounce

What a disappointment! This site is crowded, outdated (it didn't even allow enough space for us to put up an awning), lacks children's facilities and frankly seems (for motor homes and caravans) more like a parking lot than a campsite. The pitches for the tents seemed OK to us from what we could see, but we were more than overlooking our motorhome neighbours and on a very small pitch which we even struggled to park on.
On the plus side, the staff were very accommodating and even gave us a refund when we said we needed to move on because the site was not for us.
If you're looking for space and tranquillity this is not the site for you, but you can walk into town!

We arrived early at Laxdale and the owner was out. So we pitched our tent as asked.
The grass bank just under the vans parking place is very comfortable and the small wall separating the vans parking and the camping site itself can be used as a 'shelf' to store clothes or stuff.
A small shed is provided for campers to cook in if the weather turns bad. Which was not the case.
Concrete bricks are also provided to put the stove on (so the grass is not burned and the stove won't collapse).
Facilities are very clean. Hot shower works with token. Free hair-dryer. Laundry for £3. Spin-dryer for free.
In the evening the place was full, but still very quiet and peaceful. Stornoway is at 10 mn by bikes, much more busy and noisy.
Although two giant and green wooly midges were waiting us at the entrance, we were not annoyed by them. Note that a big seagull seems to be a regular customer of the place and may visit your tent if you feed it.
We paid £15 for both of us and our tent. God price considering the quality of the place. One of our best camping experience in Scotland.

We stayed here for 3 nights, using the Site as a base in Lewis. It is, as other reviewers have commented, a bit industrial with concrete & gravel hard standings along with little in the way of views, other than a housing estate down the road or some static caravans. Toilets and showers were plentiful with separate facilities for campers, bunkhouse users and caravans/motorhomes. Showers were operated by a token and always hot.
The site is ~20-30 minutes from town & 15 or so from the Coop supermarket which stocks just about everything.

We stayed here for 2 nights in September. We had booked more, but the owners had arranged work to be done at that time, and it got a bit noisy, having said that, we just packed up to go, expecting to be out of pocket, and they offered us a refund so we could go elsewhere. The site is situated in Stornoway, and had 2 areas for tourers - one was on tarmac, and one had hard standing plots, but they were very tight - ok if you have a caravan mover or a motorhome, but we have a touring caravan, so we had to park on the tarmac, which felt a bit like camping in an Asda carpark! The showers were a bit dated, and not the cleanest. Location IS Stornoway, so brilliant if you just want a base, but not so if you are looking for more.
