	Valtos Campsite
	The campsite is located at neip or neep or kneep, depending on spelling, and is out on the west coast down towards Uig.  There are no hook ups, but the toilets and showers are of a good standard.   Showers cost £1 paid by coin meter.  The site is community owned by the Grazings committee.  Most of the best locations on the shore line are taken by season ticket holders from the area, but there is plenty of other space, although not always on a flat surface.  The location is absolutely wonderful, with a good pristine beach and crystal clear waters.  Water and waste disposal available.   A very good semi wild camping experience.  Not far from Sea Trek marine excursions Cost of a motorhome on the 2nd June 09 was £7 per night.
