About the site
Orkney's 72 islands lie to the north of mainland Scotland and are well known for delivering four seasons of weather in a day! This is a place where you can reconnect with nature, enjoy the peace, and admire the stunning landscapes under huge and beautiful skies. The campsite is situated on an organic vegetable farm. The Wheems campsite is on South Ronaldsay, just a few miles across the Pentland Firth. It is in an elevated field with superb views towards the sea. The sculpted terraces provide grass pitches for tents, motorhomes and campervans, some of which offer electric. The wooden bothy camping pods were designed and built on the farm. Insulated and double glazed, they look out to sea through double doors and from their outside decking areas. The bothies include comfortable bedding, electric sockets, heating and a rechargeable lamp. In the summertime there are also bell tents For those looking for a sense of adventure, there is the 14ft Kyrgyzstani yurt. The yurt is cosy and dry, with beautiful furnishings, candles and lamps (though no electricity), a custom wooden floor and a log burner to keep you toasty. You can even stay in couple of cheery and furnished bell tents!
