We've just come back from 2 weeks camping round Scotland. Before we went I looked on the visitscotland website and made a note of some campsites that were definitely open (still not quite the season yet).

But we also just drove round other areas we hadn't planned on going to, and found some great campsites.

If you do plan on going to the Hebrides (you should, it's fantastic) then there aren't that many campsites - certainly none that were open in March. However, there are a few hostels that allow camping, one in particular is at Garenin, a restored blackhouse village on Lewis. We camped on top of the cliffs, never found a better camping location. Definitely worth going to.

And of course you can camp in this weather, the rain is all part of the fun...
