 This is the only fulltime campsite on the island (a pop will be operating in the summer at the other end of the village).
It's on the edge of Pierowall, easy walk into the village where there are 2 good stores, a hotel, cafe and a knitwear shop.
Campsite has 11 hardstanding with electric, good sized pitches with well kept grass in between.
Facilities are old and a bit dank, need updating. That said they were spotlessly clean and water was good and hot. Free WiFi which was fine for emails and browsing.
Customer service is second to none - both owners were friendly and went out of their way to help.
There is also a hostel, self catering accommodation, a sports hall and a music venue on the site - none of which interferes with campsite.
We loved Notland castle - free to visit and plenty to explore.
We believe the whole site is up for sale, hopefully new owners will only build on the existing lovely campsite here to make it even better
Would recommend and hope to visit again.

Lovely relaxed site, very quiet and peaceful.
Walking distance to Pierowall village.
Also well worth being there on Wednesday or Saturday to catch the chippy, which is brilliant !

We really enjoyed our stay at Chalmersquoy campsite.
Very friendly reception upon arrival. All the facilities are well maintained and very clean.
The location is excellent, a few minutes walk into Pierowall which has 2 good general stores and a hotel which serves excellent food.
There is also an excellent cafe/bistro just a few minutes walk from the campsite in the other direction.
We will definitely be back.

Absolutely fantastic site! We had an amazing holiday.
The campsite was super, very sheltered, clean, tidy, very well equipped, excellent showers!
Had super kitchen facilities and had washing machine facilities too.
We had 2 young kids and a dog and we felt it was very safe with plenty of space for them to run around and also some toys, balls etc to play with too.
The owners were lovely, gave us great info about various activities and places to visit on the island and also were a great help and source of info when we needed to change our return ferry trip home.
Would highly recommend!

Lovely site with good facilities in attractive stone buildings. Great communal kitchen / lounge.
Westray is lovely, even in the rain. Recommend the Noup Head walk!

Michael and Teenie are the perfect hosts, friendly and very helpful.
The site is maintained to a high standard and the facilities are excellent. Value for money, you won't get any better.
The islanders are also very friendly. Jack's Fish & Chips, available weds & Sat night are super and they also sell fresh fish Mon to Sat from the same unit. Had smoked haddock and that was tasty and so fresh.
Cannot recommend the site and island highly enough.

Small friendly and very tidy campsite run by extremely helpful owners.
Teenie gave a lovely welcome and took time to give a lot of helpful information about the area.
We loved it.

What a great place.
OK so we were lucky with the weather, but this is a lovely site at a reasonable price. There is a comfortable camper's kitchen, clean facilities, and no end of conversation with other visitors and owner Michael.
We had fish and chips delivered (scallops recommended), and went on a lovely guided tour (Westraak) under new management. This was a lovely mix of nature and history, with a super lunch, and outstanding value.
Will never forget this one.

Orkney hospitality at its best. We arrived at Chalmersquoy less a Heiki rooflite which had collapsed earlier in a pile of sharp shards. We had bought some materials to make a patch, and asked if we might borrow a ladder. Instead, Michael brought a fork lift and a pallet, temporary repair accomplished.
Following morning we asked whether there was someone who might sell us some plywood to make a stronger job of it, and we were told that Michael's father John (who had been up at 4am in order to launch a boat) was coming to sort it out. And he did. Our weekend on Westray was saved, and we had the great pleasure of getting to know more about the warm Westray community than otherwise we would.
For the campsite, brilliant facilities, close to amazing fish'n'chip shop and the Pierowall Hotel whose Westray Crab is beyond praise. There is a seal colony about 400 yards from the campsite, and a wealth of bird life. Islanders wave to each other and to visitors as they drive along. So worth the journey.
