In a few weeks we are going to the Isle of Lewis,we would like to use camp sites and also wild camp.
Could i have some recommendations please.

Google West Harris Trust for a list of their approved wild camping spots
Best of all is Luskintyre Beach - with fresh water and WC close by
Avoid Flobaday Farm Campsite - it's a scam

You may also find this useful



Pm me if you need co ordinates for any of the places we stayed

Enjoy your trip

We also spent a couple of nights in the distillery car park in Tarbert (good for mobile internet reception). You won't have any problems finding suitable places, both free and for a nominal honesty charge to the trusts on either Lewis or Harris. Also the ferry terminal and restaurant at Leverburgh.
This was a really pleasant family run campsite on the west coast of Lewis, even with TV connections on some of the plots. http://www.eileanfraoich.co.uk/
And this one was in a superb location and cheap, run by the local community

Have a great time. The Western Isles is one of our all time best trips - but the weather we had this Spring was really the icing on the cake.

You won't get near it for all the Scots there with buckets and plastic bags unloading the 280 tonnes of diesel.
