Croft 5 - Exclusive Wilderness Camp

Hosted by Martin · Callanish, Scotland
2 guests max

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!).This booking is for exclusive use of the whole site, nearly five acres.
