A scenic view of Lewis and Harris

Dotted with hills and lochs, the rugged landscapes of Lewis’ west coast are home to such attractions as the Callanish Standing Stones, built up to 5,000 years ago, and the 2,000-year-old Dun Carloway broch. In the crofting village of Shawbost, perched on the edge of the Atlantic, family-run campgrounds offer pitches for tents, caravans, and motorhomes. Farther south and close to the sandy beach and azure waters of Mangersta, campers can find basic, informal sites to pitch in the grass. You can also explore different options for camping near Lewis and Harris on Hipcamp.
