Lickisto Blackhouse Camping

Outer Hebrides


Remote and rustic campsite on an old croft, with pitches set among heather and outcrops and chickens running wild. Campers can use a communal kitchen-lounge in a converted blackhouse, and there are two yurts with wood-burning stove and gas cooker (no electricity). Bus W13 from Tarbert to Leverburgh stops at the entrance.
