About Us

Camping in Orkney can be a very rewarding experience, many campsites are near the shoreline and offer stunning views over the archipelago.

After receiving a number of requests on our Spirit of Orkney website from people wanting to know where to camp on the islands, we have created this site dedicated to camping in Orkney.

Find details of various campsites along with companies who hire out tents, camper vans and caravans.

We will also bring you lots of other useful Orkney camping related information.

Enjoy camping in Orkney

Wild camping is also a right of passage in Scotland, with breathtaking scenery and well kept public facilities. Of course, it is important that you look after the countryside and adhere to the Wild Camping Code.

Around the mainland and on many of the islands, there are some superb camping facilities  but it is always wise to check with them first, as some are limited for space and may not be able to accommodate all type of camper.

Visiting Orkney can become an addiction and with a family history rooted in the islands for over 1,200 years, we hope to help you enjoy your visit and share these unique enchanting isles.

We have provided a list of the camp sites, hostels and caravan parks that we know of but if you have a site that you wish listed or want to make any alterations to your entry, please contact us.
