 Spent 3 nights at Lickisto 3 nights of absolute peace and quiet. John and Harvey have done a great job in keeping the site very natural it doesn't look like a campsite even when you are on your pitch. Because we had a large motorhome we were on a hardstanding pitch with mains hook up. The facilities were very good the main toilets and showers being in a byre overlooking the loch, but there were other toilets and a shower in the blackhouse which if you were camping and the weather was bad it has a peat fire with kettle, toaster etc and they even supply free bread. There is a bus stop very near to the site which goes to Tarbet where you can do some food shopping but we didn't see any supermarkets. If you want peace and quiet this is the place for you John and Harvey are really friendly. There is no carpark as such campers have to leave their cars at the top of the site on the road and take their tents etc to the pitch in a wheelbarrow(supplied) The only other slight problem is that if you have a large motorhome like we had you need to be a very good driver to get the unit onto the hardstanding pitch it is very tight and caution is the name of the game. Would we visit again the answer is a definite yes

Excellent little camp site. The owners John and Harvey were brill and even brought us fresh bread and eggs. They seem to have worked hard to get this site up and running. The hot water is now on as is the door to the wash area.
The two blackhouses (Hebridean thatched cottages) are wonderful. One houses the bogs and showers. The other has the cooking area, sofas, peat fire and table etc. One view from the site has the sea and the bay, the other has the 'sleeping beauty' mountain of Harris. Would definitely go again if on Harris.

We stayed there recently on a tour of the Western Isles. The site is on the boggier east side of Harris, handy for Tarbert for provisions/ferry, also good for the Leveburgh ferry if you are coming from the Uists.
Parking is on the road, as the small parking area can be taken up by campervans. This makes it quite a hike to get gear down the camping area, there is a wheelbarrow to use but that doesn't make it easy given the terrain. Tents are pitched on grass covered peat lazy beds with drainage channels cut between the beds. This can lead to standing water and that glory of Scottish camping holidays, the culicoides impunctatus or midge. The lazy beds are not huge, advisable to state your tent size at the time of booking/enquiry to ensure you will be able to find a suitable pitch. The toilet block is at one end of the site and has a single toilet, two showers and a wash hand basin that only has cold running water. No hot water and the fact that there is no outer door where the wash basin is make wet shaving difficult verging on impossible. There is a second toilet and wash basin in an adjacent byre - again only cold water in the basin. There are low level lights around the site for those night time toilet trips but the boggy nature of the terrain means that you need to be careful and still sensible to carry a torch.
The real gem of the site is the blackhouse, this has good facilities including a peat fuelled stove for heat, a gas fuelled stove for cooking, basin with hot and cold running water, electric kettle and toaster, clothes rack for drying, a large dining table with chairs and two very comfortable sofas. The blackhouse offers somewhere to prepare food, eat and relax. Homemade bread and eggs are left on the dining table for campers to help themselves. Dogs are welcome on the site and in the blackhouse. The site owners drop in for a chat in the evening. The site owners have plans to convert the blackhouse into a holiday let, so how long this facility will remain open to campers is indeterminate.
Enjoyed our stay and will return, weather and blackhouse dependant.
