 The site is ideally situated for a quiet break and is more than adequate for those with their own facilities. Sand and sea are within a very short walk and our dogs loved it. They had daily walks and swims in the clear water. We even saw seals from the beach. The view from the site is amazing - sea, land and wildlife what more can you want!
The owners are very friendly, helpful and informative.
On the ferry home we already wanted to go back to Croft 2!

We stayed at this campsite for a week and loved the location. It's virtually at the end of the road & looks out over a stunning beach, accross the Sound of Barra towards Eriskay. We watched dolphins from our caravan window! The nearest shop we found was in Castlebay so stock up! The owners are friendly & helpful. The pitches are 'freelance' (park/camp where you find a space) We'd stay here again without hesitation but without a toilet block when we stayed you need to be self contained, though this may change. Cycling, wildlife, walking all from the site. Wonderful.

Small campsite on northern tip of Barra. Quiet peaceful area of croft set aside for five pitches. EHU but need own loo facilities
Setting wonderful - opposite perfect white cockle shell and sand beach. A couple of bays along the planes land on the beach as a scheduled Flybe service
Owners friendly and informative about island crofting life. Their two sons very friendly particularly the inquisitive youngest, Seamus, as they meet a regular turnover of visitors
Very peaceful, the loudest sound being corn crakes - heard but not seen!

Had fifteen nights in June on this very quiet site. Booked nine then extended our stay to fifteen.
The site is run by owners Angus and Mary. Mary greeted us late on Sunday evening, as we had arrived by the Oban to Castlebay ferry, then driving the full length of the island, passing the airport, en route, to the site.
If you like the bright lights, noisy, fish and chip suppers, and wild nights out. Then this site is definitely, not, the site for you.
The brightest light we witnessed was the sun well into late evening. The noisy, corncrakes in the next field, the gannets and oyster-catchers also have a lot to say. Fresh fish, go direct to the local fish processors then supply you own chips. Wild nights, not on this site. Wild-life, definitely, just keep your eyes open.
At a very reasonable, £12 per pitch a night, with electric.
This basic site has drinking water, electric hook-up points, chemical disposal point, and Fantastic views over the turquoise waters of Barra sound and a long, long white sandy beach, only minutes away.
Our Yorkshire terriers loved running up and down the deserted beach.
Barra is definitely the jewel in the crown of the Western Isles and Croft no. 2 caravan site is definitely to be recommended.
Places to visit include Queen Victoria rock. A colony of seals at seal bay. Vatersay, a small island to the south of Castlebay, accessed via a causeway. Many dog friendly beaches allowing excellent walking.
Would I recommend this site? Definitely not (or I may not be able to book in, next year).
OK. Of course, I would highly recommend this site.

White sands, turquoise sea, wheatears and goldfinches in abundance and that's just the view from the caravan window. Corncrakes to be seen.
Basic 5 van site with hookups etc, wonderful beach a couple of minutes away. Owners very welcoming and generous with local knowledge and island history.
Home baking for the campers was very welcome and delicious. Freshly caught fish and seafood at excellent prices available from fish factory a few minutes drive away.
Best site we stayed on in the Hebrides. Interesting airport in the next bay - planes land and take off on the beach. Would like to return in July when the machar is in full bloom.

What a delightful site!
The turquoise sea and white sand were yards away and the smell of sea weed was wonderful.
This is a basic site with fresh water, toilet emptying facilities, drying inside or out, and electric hook ups. It was an exceptional price of £12 per night (although there are no showers or toilets.
It is a beautiful place with a friendly, family atmosphere. And Mary, the site owner sent down her home made cup cakes to every visitor!
I stayed here for only three nights and I wish it could have been longer. It is peaceful, very quiet, and surrounded by magnificent scenery.
Castlebay is only about twenty minutes away and there are endless walks on wonderful beaches.
It is also a birdwatcher's paradise. Whilst I was there, I was woken each morning by the sound of the corncrake.
What more could you ask for.

A sheltered, fairly level grassy low impact site with water, toilet disposal, waste disposal and hook up points for up to five units. A useful drying area in the adjacent barn. Set in a stunningly beautiful location with mind boggling beaches of spotlessly clean white sand and seas of a blue that has to be seen to be believed. Delivers all you need without impacting on what is an environmentally sensitive crofting area. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful and happy to impart their knowledge of the areas wildlife and crofting lifestyle. Be sure to return the friendly waves you get from other road users. Surely, this says it all. Last but not by any means least, your dog will love it.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Fantastic views from our van and a couple of minutes walk to a lovely beach.
This is wild camping with the luxury of electric, water and waste disposal. Very small site so quiet and peaceful.
It is at the top end of the island pass the airport so it is not near to any shops but by car the island doesn't take long to drive around so supplies can be got easily while you are out exploring.
Would recommend this site to anyone visiting the island.

We had been wild camping before we moved to Bara and loved it but it was very wet so we decided to stay for 2 nights on a campsite to re-charge.
The owners of this site couldn't have been more helpful. Accurate and clear telephone directions and then cakes sent down from the house on our arrival. There was a barn for drying wet clothes a real bonus considering the weather. Being in a motorhome and fairly self sufficient it was an ideal site as it had all we needed water, toilet disposal and electric hook up.
Its in a lovely area with a massive expanse of beach to walk on. The biggest bonus by far is the commitment of the owners to make improvements, and the time they spent answering our questions about life on a croft/wildlife etc If we are ever fortunate enough to go back - Croft No 2 is where we will stay.

The site was good in terms of you felt you were rough camping with the luxury of fresh water, electric hook up and waste and chemical disposal.
Nice views to the sea and very friendly owners but not in your space. Handy cycling distance to the nearest Hotel.
I would go back and for those wanting more space and a feeling of rough camping ideal.
Possibly in the future a toilet and shower cubicle would be an added bonus but that may bring more people and less of a rough camp feeling. Was very sheltered which was good when the wind picked up.
