Are you travelling to Tiree in a campervan or with a caravan?
AFTER YOU HAVE BOOKED YOUR FERRY, please make sure that you are also booked onto a serviced campsite, or are booked onto a pitch via our Croft Camping Scheme. These sites are located in various locations around the island and are all unserviced, but offer a “wild” experience and benefit the local crofters offering the sites.
Tiree does not allow camping with a motor vehicle in any part of the island. The only way you can camp overnight with a motor vehicle is by booking an approved site to do so.
Your campsite options include:
Why do we want you to use a booked site?
- Our ground is sandy and easily compacted. This is bad for the wild flowers and can contribute to erosion.
- We have a lot of ground nesting birds.
- Our crofters’ main crop is grass!
Top driving tips for Tiree
Most of Tiree is single track roads with passing places – we are always grateful if visitors note the following guidance in using them, especially for larger vehicles:
- Cyclists should be treated, and behave, the same as if they are motor vehicle users. Don’t attempt to drive past them on a single track road.
- Use passing places to allow faster vehicles to overtake
- Always pull over on the left to let people pass, either in a passing place or opposite one. Never cross over to the right hand side.
- Flashing lights or hazard lights behind you will indicate a doctor or an emergency services volunteer rushing to an emergency – please let them pass as soon as it is safe to do so.
