Reviews
"Perfect for a local staycation, the campsite is clean with toilets and shower facilities, there is also access to a kettle, sink and microwave in the hostel porch which is very useful.
My children like staying here as there is a big playpark and football pitch next door. Birsay village is a 10-15 minute walk and has the Palace ruins to explore, a small shop and the beach, at low tide you can also head over to the Broch of Birsay (keep an eye on the tide!) or you can go on a coastal walk to the whalebone. Would return and would recommend." - 20 April 2021.
