Very well organised. Showed up and our pitch was marked on a board and again at the pitch it’s self. Allan came round later to explain all the things we needed to know.
Pitches all had a sea view, and what a view…wow. Facilities were spotless, with good quality fittings including shower, loo, sinks. Not the normal old fashioned units like we are used to.
The site had access to Wi-fi and a gem of a home made pizza delivery service. The village of castle Bay was appx 2 miles away, walkable but there was a taxi service.
We will be back at some point…. 5* plus.

Beautiful small site. Friendly host, lovely facilities and fabulous views out to sea.
As a first night to stay on Barra, this site is just spot on.
Perfect for Cyclists, families and solo travellers.

I stayed at Borve for 3 nights in a camper van with my 11 yr old son, and it was the first time we'd ever:
A. Been in a camper van
B. Stayed on a campsite
We felt like we struck so lucky staying at Borve, the location is beautiful and you can hear the sea all night.
Allan, the manager, could not have been more helpful or friendly - and he keeps the site absolutely spotless. The kitchen facility was brilliant and the showers/loos were immaculate. Wonderful to see a big commitment to recycling too.
You can get wifi here but you need to be fairly close to the facilities block. I've given the site 10 out of 10 for everything, including child friendliness, but be aware that children can walk down to a rocky shoreline with lots of rock pools, so smaller children will need supervision.
On the day we arrived, Allan said it was their busiest night ever but it ran like clockwork with everyone getting the space they needed. He offered to move me to the hard standings the next day (we were in the tent area), I think this was because we were next to an all-male group of campers and he was aware that I was travelling alone with a child and would perhaps have been happier next to other families in campers/motorhomes. However, our neighbours were brilliant so we stayed where we were - they even gave us some of their scallops that they'd dived for that day!
We shopped at castlebay Co-op and mostly cooked all our own meals, but we did have Mhairi's fish and chips (check her Facebook for times for when her van is in castlebay) one night and they were wonderful.
Barra is gorgeous, you can walk to Tangasdale beach from the site, we also loved the beaches on Vatersay and the one opposite the airport (Traigh Eais) which has enormous dunes.

Brilliant. All was excellent. Soooo clean.
Felt sorry for Alan though having to empty "some" people's rubbish as they so unthoughtfully empty ALL their rubbish in one bin when lots of it could have been recycled.
Regrettable how some people will not look after their surroundings

Outstanding site. Warm welcome from Alan who offered super hospitality throughout our stay. Spotless amenities.
Easy walk into castlebay where local services can be enjoyed. Stunning views from each and every pitch.
Definitely recommend 100%.

This is a great site. Allan was incredibly helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
He gave us lots of information about the island and where to find things.
Lots of information about what to do locally and we even had bikes from Tony delivered to us and collected!
The facilities are incredibly clean and well maintained.

Borve campsite was fantastic all round. Amazing views, right on the beach,
Well equipped shower and toilet block with ample parking and pitching size.
Great service from the staff and peaceful and quiet during the night.
Highly recommended!

Recently stayed here during a visit to the island. Was a great site with lovely views over the water.
Donald was a great host, really friendly and helpful. There is a stunning beach within a 15 minute walk and castlebay is only a short drive away.
The facilities were always spotless and you felt safe using them.
Would highly recommend

We hugely enjoyed staying on this site - every pitch has an amazing view and we got the best ever sunset whilst lying in bed in the motorhome.
The manager was great, the facilities for a small site were fantastic.
We will certainly book again and loved our couple of days in Barra and Vatersay.
Next time we come to the islands, we’ll start on Barra!

This is a small site perched on the hill side of the Atlantic ocean, with great views of the coast, and the Isle of Barra Hotel nearby for meals.
The facilities are good, the owner lives on site and is on hand and very friendly and helpful, it's a 5 minute drive or 10-15 mins bike ride to castlebay for food, pubs x shops.
Visit Vatersay beach for a fantastic day out, beautiful sandy beaches in sheltered bay with a great cafe for refreshments, ps we are not that mature a couple 🙂
