About Balranald Hebridean Holidays
The campsite is a great spot for those who love the outdoors - with plenty of walks from the site around the RSPB Nature Reserve. You'll definitely hear corncrakes calling during the summer months and if you're lucky you'll see them too! There are 40 pitches (hardstanding and grass with optional electric hook-up) for motorhomes, campervans, caravans and tents. The Corncrake Pod sleeps two people (in single beds), and you'll receive complimentary tea, coffee and hot chocolate inside. You'll also have a handy kettle, fridge, microwave and a heater to keep you cosy. Bedding is provided and up to two pooches are welcome to join you in this dog friendly option.
Open from 26 March to 31 October
The site has modern, heated facilities blocks comprising toilets, coin operated showers, dish washing, laundry, drying room, a campers' fridge, kettle and hairdryers.
The Dunes Cabin is onsite from May till the end of September serving delicious homemade soups, freshly filled sandwiches, home baking, filter coffee, teas, ice cream and snacks. The Westford Inn is the closest pub and restaurant, just five miles to the south - booking is essential.

Things to do on site and in the Isle Of North Uist area
The beautiful sandy beach only 40m from the entrance is great for walking, paddling, swimming, kayaking and kite surfing.
An RSPB Nature Trail passes the campsite and takes approx two hours to walk. May is the best month for seeing corncrakes but bird lovers can also see lots of wading birds such as the oystercatcher, lapwing, redshank and dunlin.
There are many birds of prey, too, from short eared owls to white tailed sea eagles and hen harriers - all hunting regularly over the surrounding croft land.
The Dunes Cabin serves delicious home made soups, bacon rolls, sandwiches and home baking from May to August, which is perfect for refuelling after you've had a mosey. The custard creams and chocolate cake are legendary!
