Balranald Hebridean Holidays
Choose this North Uist base for a beach-and-birdwatching day at Balranald. Bring coins for the showers and green or organic toilet fluid for the chemical point.
Facilities: Hardstanding electric pitches, toilets, showers and washing/drying facilities. The chemical point accepts green/organic toilet fluid only.
Pitch booking: Book the vehicle pitch online. Bring coins for the showers.
Alternative: Moorcroft Holidays, North Uist. A different base; revise the driving leg and confirm a touring pitch.
Borve Camping & Caravan Site
Stay on Barra’s west coast and use Castlebay for your next food shop. This is the Barra overnight before the separate Eriskay crossing.
Facilities: Hardstanding electric pitches, showers, toilets, laundry and a kitchen; accessible facilities available.
Pitch booking: Reserve the pitch with the campsite. Castlebay, around two miles away, is the main island resupply stop.
Alternative: Wavecrest Campsite. Another Borve base; confirm a vehicle pitch.
Eilean Fraoich Campsite
A west-Lewis pitch at Shawbost for the coastal stage. Allow the extra drive to Stornoway before a mainland ferry.
Pitch booking: Confirm the touring season and availability; change the next morning’s ferry transfer accordingly.
Horgabost Campsite
A south-Harris base for a beach day before moving on to the Lewis stage.
Facilities: Toilets and coin-operated showers: bring coins.
Alternative: Laxdale Holiday Park. A much longer transfer north, not a nearby substitute. Only use it with a revised island day.
Laxdale Holiday Park
A Stornoway-area base before the mainland crossing.
Facilities: Electric touring pitches, heated toilet/shower facilities, laundry, washing-up, water and chemical/grey-water disposal.
Alternative: Eilean Fraoich Campsite. Shawbost is on the west coast: allow the extra morning transfer to Stornoway for the ferry.
Moorcroft Holidays, North Uist
Stay on North Uist for the Uist stage rather than rushing straight on to Harris.
Facilities: Motorhome/caravan pitches are hardstanding with electric hook-up.
Pitch booking: Book through the operator’s online system; groups should contact the site directly.
Alternative: Balranald Hebridean Holidays. On North Uist’s west coast; adjust the island road approach.
The Boatshed, Stornoway
A harbour-facing restaurant at the Royal Hotel for your last island evening. Plan transport back to Laxdale before ordering drinks.
Wavecrest Campsite
A Borve alternative on Barra’s west coast. Reserve vehicle space and retain Castlebay as your food and ferry staging point.
