Trip information.


Calmac ferries do island hopper tickets that can reduce your ferry costs it the routes tie in to your plans and well worth looking into. Details here:- Calmac Island Hopper Tickets.



Days Travelled: 16

Miles Covered: 1219

Ferries Taken: 3

Mallaig - Lochboisdale £88.80

Bernerey - Leverburgh £23.90

Stornoway - Ullapool £79.05



Campsites:

Glencoe Camping And Caravanning Club Site

Nice campsite in a great location at the foot of Glencoe but you need to join the club to access the cheaper rates.



Otters Edge Campground - Benbecula

Lovely spot, just under new management who have upgrade plans and are welcoming and friendly. 5 minute walk from a lovely beach.



Laxdale Holiday Park - Isle Of Lewis

Great location close for the ferry terminal and exploring Stornoway. Facilities reasonably good but limited sized pitches and awnings not allowed except by pre arrangement.



Shore Caravan Site - Achmelvich

Great spot by possibly the best beach on the North West Coast. Second year we have come meeting family and friends with opportunities for fishing, diving for crabs and scallops.

Fish and chip shop on site if you don't want to cook.

Limited Electrical Hook Ups so pre book if needed.

No dogs allowed.

Thanks for the short report with a lot of information. I'm sure this will help other travelers with their planning. The interactive map is super cool. Did you make it with Google myMaps?

Hiya,

Anything that helps take the guess work for people is worthwhile I believe.

yes it was just the basic Google Maps. Simple but effective.
