 I heartily endorse most of the positve comments about this campsite posted here. In the main it's a very pretty site and is in a great spot. However, it's really not very good for motorhomes. The description on UKCampsite.co.uk says space for 3 motorhomes, but when we were there they tried to cram in 4. This left very little space for turning on arrival/exit. The motorhome area is also little more than a large hard standing parking space, at the top of the drive and not pretty at all compared to the rest of the site, and the vans are way too close together - we felt we had next to no privacy.
The toilet facilities are also less than ideal. The showers were fine, but there aren't enough WC's, and they're very dark, compounded by the energy-saving lightbulbs, admirable I'm sure, but when you turn them on you're still sitting almost in darkness for a couple of minutes. No hand towels provided - why not?, this is basic.
The kitchen/blackhouse was good, but you had to boil a kettle to get hot water.
No facilities for grey water or chemical toilet disposal. Even if there had been full waste facilities, the £20 per night incl. Hook-up is a few quid over the norm in the Outer Hebrides. It might well be worth paying over the odds if you're tenting due to the unusual and beautiful landscaping in the tent part of the site, but it's certainly not if you're in a motorhome.

Great site. Easy to find now, and good hardstanding for three small motorhomes. Owner friendly and helpful. The blackhouse is a fantastic bonus - warm and well equipped for a comfortable evening chatting to other campsite users. The shower in the blackhouse was warm and the water was hot - although some may think that the window did not give sufficient privacy. The pathways are steep, as is the entrance driveway but both are well maintained. The provision of home baked bread in the blackhouse was much appreciated. Lots of character in this site and good views.

My husband and I have just returned from spending 2 nights in a yurt. The campsite is great! It's a beautiful site with lots of quirky features which add to its charm. The owners very much add to the lovely atmosphere at the site, they are very very welcoming and think of everything you could possibly need.
The yurt came with duvets etc, bedding, stove to cook, pots and pans, plenty of logs(which were topped up), candles, everything a camper could need and more! On arriving at the site, we were warmly greeted, shown around and given a loaf of breads which was still warm, absolutely perfect!we were given fresh eggs on our second day, the chickens and ducks wander around the site which is lovely!
The shower and toilet block is immaculate and there is plenty of hot water. The blackhouse is amazing, we didn't use it as we had a log burner in the yurt but if we were camping it would have been a perfect place to get out the bad weather. Washing and cooking facilities in the blackhouse are great, again plenty of hot water, kettle and toaster.
We would highly recommend this site to anybody visiting harris, it's such a special place with gorgeous views-made very enjoyable by the wonderful owners.

Unlike any other site I have ever stayed on.
Location OK, pitches somewhat uneven,
A fairly energetic walk down and climb back up with tent and other equipment but all well worth it for what follows.
The owners are unique and wonderful,
the blackhouse a joy with fresh bread, comfy sofas and a large dining table, a seemingly endless supply of logs for the fire and whilst I was there a host of interesting visitors for all over Europe.
The washing/shower facilities are excellent and for the most recent addition positively unique.
If you like to 'feel' the difference this is definitely a site to try.

We stayed at Lickisto campsite in July 2012. We arrived just on the day it started raining after 10 weeks of really sunny weather so we opted for the yurts as opposed to pitching up our tent in the rain.
The yurts were brilliant - really cosy but spacious, you had your own cooking facilities, a wood burner if it got cold and there were the most fantastic views.
The campsite is really unique. Where else would you be presented with a loaf of freshly baked bread by your hosts on arrival and have the opportunity to pick your own lettuce which is grown on site.
The campsite is a great place to explore - lots of little pathways with chickens and ducks running around and a nice old boat you can sit in by the waters edge.
If it's raining there is a lovely communal blackhouse with comfy sofas and books/games to keep you occupied. There were lovely hot showers and the toilet facilities were great with lots of interesting quirky features.
Harvey and John were very welcoming hosts and gave us lots of great tips on places to go. We would definitely come to this campsite again and would recommend it to others.

An interesting site to visit and explore, with lots of nooks and crannys, we were shown around the site, and told to treat it like home, no long list of do's and don'ts.
The owners are trying to grow all kinds of plants, I even saw bamboo! and the polytunnel is brilliant and hopefully everything will grow.
Site is steep due to where it is situated, facilities are clean and showers work well. Would recommend this site for a visit.
There is not room for more than three camper vans, so would probably be a good idea to book, we didn't book and were lucky enough to get a pitch.

We stayed for one night. Three Adults, one over 70.
It would have helped if there was a sign which identified the campsite!
The facilities - hook up - cut out a few times. The footpaths need attention. A handrail is also needed in parts and better lighting. The toilet/shower block we used was very dark and the water was just warm. The block was too cold to have a shower.
The facilities were limited in terms of motorhome no hardstand so vehicle not stable. A bit of a squeeze if too mamy of this type of vehicle together. No where to empty grey water. Path coming down to site too steep.
We were given a tour of the overall site and the accommodation in which you could stay and facilities for hikers/campers was very good.
Without the improvements in the footpaths this campsite will be restrictive.
The remoteness of the camp was great however be warned that the nearest eating point is some miles away and not that easy to get to in a motorhome so make sure you have plenty of food!

My sis and I decided to try camping for the first time - me being 63 and she being 62. Booked July for 8 days and then found out about the yurts so decided that glamping not camping was for us. WOW - one of the best decisions of all time. Weather - hmm, a bit wet & windy (one day we didn't even get out of our PJs).
The yurts are wonderful; toasty warm at night once the intricacies of the wood burning stove are mastered and big enough for us two plus Sam the Lab not to be under each other's feet. Plenty of fuel cheerily supplied by John for the asking.
Harvey and John - lovely, lovely fellas, so welcoming and helpful. Saw a good deal of Harris through the mist and rain and will consider going back to this site again.
Next time we won't take as much 'stuff' with us because most of what we needed was supplied (loved our own water supply!).
The yurts are not too close together and the paths more than adequate considering the boggy peat area. They receive regular attention from John, who is only too happy to put blips right when he's informed.
We would have no hesitation in booking another stay here again. Try it - you won't be disappointed.

The setting was very special and the owners were really interested in showing you around which I found refreshing, only one other site did this in four Islands. These guys have cracked it, let people have showers all day if they want and just charge a wee but more and give a few extras, good loo roll, nice soaps and creams. The common house with all its facilities and best of all no signs all over the place telling you what you can and can't do.
As the owner said to me there are no rules really which was a breath of fresh air particularly as the last site I was at had some 12 signs in the kitchen alone!
Very relaxing site and I would go back for sure, a very special location, probably best appreciated from a tent, we were in a campervan but that was fine albeit the hardstanding a tad tight. Kinda site you end up staying much longer than you might have thought.

Just returned from this site and it was well worth the journey Harvey & John are excellent hosts and make this site a must for all campers, it has 3 showers all with HOT water and toilets with loo roll supplied, the black-house is a good meeting point for a chat and a drink, the site also offers 2 yurts which we ended up hiring pure luxury.
The views from the site are just fantastic, and the remoteness of the place makes it.
Shops in the very small village of tarbet are adequate and are about 15mins drive away or a bus takes you there from the site entrance.
There is also a beach about 10mins drive from the site which makes you think it could be Barbados !.
So overall a great site for a peaceful holiday
