Camping and Hostels
Below are a selection of Campsites and Hostels on Lewis.
Camping and Hostels are becoming very well patronised in recent years, particularly with the advent of the Hebridean Cycle way.
Camping
Please follow the Scottish Access codes. Please ask landowners before taking a vehicle or camping on their land. Please take care of waste disposal. We are not aware of any toilet disposal points on Lewis outside designated campsites.
Gearrannan Blackhouses
On the exposed Atlantic coast of the Isle of Lewis the blackhouse village of Gearrannan lies steeped in history and sited in an environment of outstanding natural beauty. Groups and individuals have the opportunity to experience traditional rural activities, learn about the rich history of the area, work, relax and socialise in a unique atmosphere. website and Read more
Laxdale Holiday Park
Located just on the outskirts of Stornoway, Laxdale provides facilities for Campers, Touring caravans, Motor vans and Self Catering holiday makers.
Motorhome users
As a motor home owner myself I would ask that other visiting owners apply certain guidelines for the Scottish Access codes.
Please ask landowners before taking a vehicle on their land. Please take care of waste disposal. We don't know of any toilet disposal points on Lewis outside designated campsites. If you are coming from the Uists, then there is one at the ferry terminal to Harris.
Please be courteous at passing points on single track roads.
Whilst on the subject of single track roads, the really big no no, is not letting people behind you pass.
Keep your eye on your rear view mirror and be courteous and signal them you are pulling in. Always pull in to the left hand side, as we are used to passing efficiently, pulling in to the right hand side can end up in tears! Islanders will normally wave their appreciation, so do so in response.
Finally, campsites and camping is an amazing experience on the Isle of Lewis, within some of the worlds best beaches and scenery.
