About Chalmersquoy Campsite

Chalmersquoy Campsite was originally a working farm belonging to the site owner's family but now concentrates on offering good accommodation and a friendly welcome. The site is family-run and is passing down through the generations, leading to a great homely feel for guests. Located on the edge of a gorgeous bay, with opportunities to spot wildlife, take in Westray's beaches and visit the traditional village nearby for craft shops, fresh food and good entertainment, there's plenty of activities around. This dog-friendly campsite consists of level grassy paddocks sheltered by earth banks from the elements. There are ten hardstanding pitches with electric hookups, plus a grass space dedicated to tent camping.
