Welcome to BALRANALD
HEBRIDEAN HOLIDAYS CAMPSITE
We are a family run campsite located on the picturesque west coast of North Uist in the heart of the RSPB’s Balranald Nature Reserve. Located beside a beautiful sandy beach, the site is an ideal base for exploring Uist and is a bird watchers paradise with a huge variety of wading and farmland birds nesting on the flower-rich machair and croft land. Horseshoe Bay is only 40m from the site entrance and is great for walking, kite surfing, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and watching the sunset on an evening. We are pet friendly – dogs, cats, tortoises etc are all welcome.
We provide first class facilities for campers, touring caravans and motor homes. We also offer self-catering accommodation in our Corncrake Pod and Kettle Cottage. The Dunes Cabin, based onsite from May to September, serves delicious scallop and bacon rolls, homemade soups, filled sandwiches and rolls and homebaking.
