Croft 5 - Exclusive Wilderness Camp
1. Croft 5 - Exclusive Wilderness Camp
Callanish, Scotland · 1 unit
Escape to nearly five acres of exclusive land on the west side of the Isle of Lewis.
Croft 5 offers a true wilderness camping experience. Reserved for one booking at a time, so you can enjoy complete solitude and space.
The land overlooks Little Loch Roag, perfect for eagle watching, wildlife spotting, and breathtaking views.
Guests can choose their own pitch—near the loch, beside the stream, or sheltered by the old blackhouse—creating a personalised camping experience.
Facilities are minimal: a composting toilet under the cover of the old shed and fresh water delivered to your pitch. There is no electricity or wash basins/washing facilities or showers; guests should be self-sufficient and comfortable with camping in wild conditions.
Open fires are not permitted, but camping stoves are welcome.
Croft 5 is especially suited to walkers, cyclists, backpackers, and self-sufficient adventurers seeking a restorative escape.
Dogs may be allowed by prior arrangement.
Access is easy, with nearby bus connections and parking for one vehicle, though most guests arrive without a car.
The Isle of Lewis has changeable weather, and ferry cancellations can occasionally affect travel. We will always try to accommodate guests at alternative dates if availability allows.
Camping is limited to 28 nights per year, this is a rare chance to enjoy a wilderness retreat with stunning views, abundant wildlife, and nearly five acres to yourself.
PLEASE NOTE: This is an exposed campsite on an island in the Outer Hebrides. Campers should be prepared for windy weather and have a suitable tent for wild camping in Scotland. We recommend a sturdy, low profile tent or 4 season backpacking type tent (even in summer!).

Jan and Rob are the perfect hosts. Jan called us prior to our arrival to make sure we could make it and gave us tips over the phone. As we arrived later than expected she was already in touch with the local bus driver to come and retrieve us.
We only spent a couple of days there but everything was perfect, from the hot tub to the caravan, which has anything you may need in your vacation. Rob took time to show us around their beautiful farm and helped my sons feeding the animals in the farm. It was lovely to speak with Jan&Rob about life in Sanday. For anything we needed they were always happy to help. Nobody in my family wanted to leave and we are already planning to come back in the future. Having breakfast in the van overlooking the ocean, with some sheep relaxing in front of us is simply a priceless experience.

We loved our stay in the yurt 😊 Beautiful location and everything you could possibly need. Really clear directions to the camp and cooking on the fire pit was great fun. Make sure you have bug spray 😁

Runach Arainn is even more lovely in person than in the photos. Great location for a peaceful and relaxing stay on Arann. The yurts are comfortable, the kitchen/fire-pit etc are well-equipped and the orchard setting is beautiful. It's just a short walk to the beach or to the Lagg Inn for dinner. Highly recommend.

We loved being in the Yurt as a family for a week! A great location and the site was peaceful and full of nature, we loved cooking on the fires.
Great spot to explore the island from, with amazing beaches just a 15 min walk away and some great mountains to climb, plus lots of wildlife. We can't wait to go back and thanks to Andy and Pippa for making the stay so great.
Rob and Gen.
