Cosy Caravan in Roshven
5. Cosy Caravan in Roshven
100km from Lochboisdale · 1 unit · Glamping
This self-contained trailer has been a well loved part our home since 2010. We’re happy to welcome friends and visitors to stay in it from time to time.
A beautiful, wild and remote setting on the West Coast of Scotland. Peace and quiet! A useful stopover on the way to the Skye ferry. Cars/bikes and wellington boots are recommended. Eggs from our free range hens are available to buy. It is a drive to reach the small local shops/pubs. Walks to beaches and woods. We look forward to welcoming you.
The vintage caravan is a cosy, quiet, self-contained space positioned close by our house. It is surrounded by honeysuckle and clematis. Through the windows you can glimpse mountains and trees. There’s a small double bedroom and another small bedroom that can be arranged either with a generous single or small twin beds that are ideal for young children. The living area has couches and a dining table. The kitchenette has all the basics, fridge, microwave and a gas cooker. The bathroom has a shower, washbasin and toilet.
This self-catering accommodation has its own private lockable entrance. Guests have access to the caravan, garden, and driveway.
Nearest shops/pubs are a 20-30min DRIVE away - it's a good idea to bring everything you need as the road is long and you may not feel like going out again!
Please let me know in advance if you require the small twin beds made up.
From the last week of May through to early September it is midge season in the Scottish Highlands, so be prepared to encounter these tiny biting flies - however, a light breeze and a stick of citronella incense is usually enough to disperse them! On still nights I strongly recommend that you keep the windows closed, otherwise you may find clouds of midges invade your space. There is a cooling fan to make warm evenings more comfortable.
A haven for creatives! During April and October we host artists’ residencies specially for socially engaged practitioners who would benefit from some time to rest and reconnect with nature. When you book via Hipcamp, a small community fee is added to your daily booking charge and this goes to support these residencies by helping to pay for logs for the wood stove during the artists' visits.

One of the nicest campsites I've ever been to. Extremely remote, but the road leading up is easy to do even with a city car. The hike to Scoraig lighthouse from the campsite is one I'll never forget. The bothy serving as common room is great, nice to get some shelter to prep a meal and relax.

Absolutely stunning campsite - beautiful walk down to the loch which was just so clear and peaceful. Lovely little plots - just right for our campervan. Toilets and showers were clean and functional. Only downside was the midges - I would have loved to stay outside for longer but we had to retreat to the van. Highly recommended though.

A lovely quiet laid back site with stunning views of the mountains with a short walk down to the loch which gives you fantastic views back across the loch in both directions. Facilities met all my demands, the showers were very good, a Bothy to hand as well if the weather or the midges get to bad. 🤪
Fire pits provided but bring your own wood.
I fully recommend a stop here if you are in the area.

Campsites near Lochboisdale guide
Where to go
Lochboisdale
Lochboisdale is the departure point for a variety of tours around the island, such as wildlife-watching walks and boat trips, as well as fishing charters and archaeology focused tours. Eight miles (13 kilometres) south of the village, Kilbride Campsite has pitches for tourers and tents: it’s in a handy location for Hebridean Way walkers crossing the causeway to Eriskay.
Locheynort
Centrally located Locheynort offers easy access to all of the island’s highlights. From here you can head out along the coastal path to spot otters and sea eagles or hike up to the summit of Beinn Mhòr, which, at 620 metres (2,000 feet), is the highest point on the island.
Kildonan
Six miles (10 kilometres) northwest of Lochboisdale, the Kildonan Museum is small but packed full of fascinating artefacts and also has a tearoom and craft shop. History lovers will want to head half a mile south of the museum to see a cairn that marks the site of Flora MacDonald’s birthplace. A 10-minute drive south takes you to the Bronze Age roundhouses of Cladh Hallan.
Loch Skipport
In the north of the island, Loch Skipport is famed for its friendly wild ponies and is the starting point for climbing Hecla, the island’s second-highest mountain. Bonnie Prince Charlie history is also a draw here: you can take a Bonnie Prince Charlie-themed boat trip to learn more.
When to go
May through August is the best time to visit South Uist and the rest of the Outer Hebrides. The days are long, the weather is at its best and the machair, covered in colourful wildflowers, is at its most beautiful. Outside of the spring and summer months, you’ll likely find businesses closed. Winter, while not too cold, often brings storms, which frequently force ferries to be cancelled: flexible plans are a must if visiting in winter.
Know before you go
- Not all campsites are open year-round: check opening dates before travelling.
- If choosing to wild camp, be sure to adhere to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
- For stocking up on groceries, your best bet is the Co-Op Daliburgh, a five-minute drive north of Lochboisdale.
- Public buses can get you around the island and to the islands of Eriskay and Benbecula. Service is fairly limited so check timetables before setting out.
