 What a find. We stumbled across this site whilst touring Lewis in June 2014. As previous reviews note the site is set in sand dunes and overlooking a perfect white, sandy beach with crystal clear turquoise sea; a location that can only be described as heavenly and a rare find indeed.
Whilst the site facilities are basic, as noted by other reviews, it’s more than adequate. The toilet/ shower block is basic but clean and there is fresh water. There is no electric hook-up, although we noted a couple of electric sockets in the wash block that folk used to charge phones etc. You will also be limited to find level ground on the site. Likewise, the site really is remote so ensuring you have sufficient supplies for your stay is a must. In our opinion all the above are minor issues for such a beautiful view; we were lucky enough to get a pitch looking straight out on to the beach.
Despite the clear blue skies it was extremely windy when we visited and we really struggled with getting our awning up. We were sadly surprised by our fellow campers’ reaction to just carry on watching us struggle rather than lend a hand. So, when a couple of Belgian guys arrived not long after us and pitched next to us (and who had an even worse time getting their awning to stay on the ground, along with finding they only had one tent peg), we did not hesitate to lend a hand and give them several tent pegs.
The only down side for us was that we only had time to stay for one night. This site will definitely go on our ‘come back and stay soon’ list.

Well
Traveled along way to get to this site.
Not happy.
80% of the site is take by long-term caravans,
We had to squeeze into a tiny spot. Not really suitable for our tent.
The facilities, were very poor.
The toilets were dirty and the showers. I refused to have one.
There were a few sockets in one of the toilet blocks, but these had multiple e cigarettes always on charge.
With exception to the above its a beautiful place.
But if the facilities are not improved and cleaned, we will not return.
Very poor facilities
Fantastic location
Only stayed one night.

We originally booked this site for 7 nights intending to tour Lewis and Harris from here. We didn't realise how remote it was, it is 23 miles to the main road through the islands, so is really not suitable if you want to tour. The position is next to a lovely beach but the site is used mainly by people who store their units for the season, so more a weekend site and we felt quite nervous about leaving our caravan in such a remote spot. The facilities are practically non existent so you really need your own. The road down is not for the faint hearted, if towing. We only stayed 1 night as it was too remote for us to tour round the area. If you just want to chill out for a few days it's ok but not suited to touring. There is absolutely nothing there so make sure you have everything you require before you go, it's a very long way if you run out of milk!

This must be the best setting for a campsite ever, overlooking a perfect white sandy beach with crystal clear turquoise sea.
We stayed for three nights and our two dogs had a great time running up and down the beach and through the machair. Shower and toilet facilities are perfectly good and clean.
Take plenty of food and refreshments with you as there is nothing close by, which adds to the beauty of the place and the sense of being away from it all.
Possibly the best campsite in the world!

This campsite is just perfect in the dunes right next to the stunning beach. Beautiful location and well worth the drive out to the west coast. No problems driving the motor-home there, but the road is narrow and winding so take it slow. Quite a hike to the local community shop (about 5 miles) so take everything you need with you - remember everything is closed on Sundays - they offer groceries, post office and launderette. This is a small site on the dunes so no hard standings, but they are not necessary as any rain drains immediately. No hookups. Small but nice and clean wash block with fresh water, toilets, showers (£1 for more than long enough), washing up and chemical disposal. Met some lovely people too including the owner who was very friendly and helpful. And the weather was fantastic whilst we were there, so what more could we have wanted.

Spent 3 nights here in July, beautiful site right on beach which has white sands and crystal clear sea. Popular with locals on holiday too, hence a few parties but heh we're on holiday ! Toilets and showers fine, everything you need. Rubbish bins very full, maybe due to be lifted. Midges not bad while we were there, nice breeze keeping them under control. Would use again, but it spoils you for other ' beach' sites !

Even the long scenic drive to this remote site will not prepare you for what you see when you come over the hill. The white beach crystal clear water framed by the sand dunes is amazing and as you drive down the hill you realise this is the site.
We hadn't pre booked so called when we arrived. Clear instructions on where to go are on the gate and a friendly chap came about 6 and collected the £10. Good value I feel, the location is stunning and the basic but clean and warm facilities block are all you need. This is as near to wild camping as you will get
There are a number of caravans there which are seasonal ones. There were a few tents when we were there but you still felt like you were there on your own.
Great walks everywhere and had great sundowners sat on the dunes
Only there for two nights but would have loved to have stayed longer

Great news. All the old caravans that occupied the best pitches on this site are GONE!
Everything else is as it was and of course the location is stunning.
I was also amazed to have a strong TV signal in such a remote place, but I noticed what looked like a tv mast on the northern horizon and bingo it gave a strong signal.
The toilet block seemed tidier than at our last visit. The showers worked fine for a pound coin which lasted ages. I finished my leisurely shower long before the money ran out.
We had to call the 'wardens' and take our fee for the night to their house (number 15 Kneep) a tenner which goes to the grazing trust.
So if you were put off by reports of manky old vans occupying the best pitches, or have previously visited Kneep then you need to take another look.

We stayed for 1 night at the start of our holiday and then came back for an extra 2 at the end. This site is simply stunning. The pure white sand and the clear sea which changes colour from hour to hour, the small dunes, the diving gannets. Oh it is lovely! The site is very uneven so you have to select a spot carefully. We have a 7 metre van and it coped fine getting around the bumpy grass. The site has a strict rule of 6 metres between vans so even if you cant get right on the beach front, you can still have a sea view. A lot of the front is already taken by long term leasers which is a shame for us tourists! The toilet block is basic and clean with a pot wash sink and elsan disposal. There are 2 showers which cost £1 for 4 minutes and are hit and miss on temperature control. There is no electric hook up so we went to a site with electric inbetween visits to charge up phones and cameras.
It is quite a windy and narrow road to get to Cnip and probably not for a nervy driver, but still our big van coped well. Once there, just stroll along the beach, have a swim etc. We bought huge hand dived scallops from a nearby loch and had them on a bbq looking at the Atlantic Ocean, just lovely!

Fantastic wild camping site on an amazing beach which was nearly deserted on a beautiful day. Couldn't get close to beach due to seasonal pitches but still got a great camping area. Not parked too close together.
Good hot showers £1 for 8 minutes and has water/waste area. Also has washing up area and electric plugs to use if needed. Kids had a fab time in the dunes.
Highly recommend! Fantastic scenic area.
