6 touring pitches & 12 tent pitches.
Check in time is 12 noon. A board will indicate which pitch has been booked. Note that the campsite is unmanned, but a volunteer campsite warden will visit the site each day, generally in the afternoon or evening.
Facilities:
Fully accessible showers and toilets for exclusive use of campsite users.
Two toilets, separate shower room and family/disabled access toilet/shower. Covered area with outside seating to enjoy the view, outside sink, and new sluice area for waste disposal.
Laundry and simple kitchen facilities are available in our comfortable campsite room where you will find information for visitors, leaflets, maps, local events, wildlife sightings etc.
Our secluded community garden just below the campsite is a peaceful place to sit, picnic, take in the panoramic views and listen and watch for birds such as curlew (whaap), oystercatcher (shalder) great skua (bonxie) - and many more. You may be very lucky and see orcas, dolphins or porpoises and you will certainly see seals! Shetland sheep and ponies often graze on croft land near the campsite.
Levenwick is the perfect spot for night-sky watching.
Elevated position with extensive views overlooking the sandy beach at Levenwick Bay.
Nearest shop is in Levenwick, half a mile walk downhill past the old tennis court, continuing in the direction of the beach. Nearest garage for fuel is at Dunrossness (3.6 miles) south along the main road, where there is also a shop.

"Facilities excellent. We applaud the committee's imagination in providing the site, bearing in mind how few sites there are on the island." - Janet & Roger, Chesterfield, Derby.
"The prettiest and most welcome campsite- and flattest. Thank you for providing it. A level piece of grass and a water tap are all we ask for. The shower and toilets worked well. Unfortunately, the only rain we've had in two weeks fell today so were unable to dry our washing. If a tumble drier were to fall from heaven that would have been the height of luxury. The only practicable improvement is a hot water tap at the outside sink and a plastic washing up bowl (to reduce use of hot water). We hope to be back." - Steve & Pauline, Milton Keynes.
"Enjoyed our nights' stay very much. Lovely site. An outdoor plug on the building for elec. hookup would be good. Hooks for towels in the shower & disabled loo. Many thanks" - Edinburgh.
"What a fantastic small caravan park this was in 2005 when I stayed there. With the addition of clothes washing facility that was being completed during my stay I am looking forward to staying there again this year 2006. Its close proximity to the southern lochs of Shetland make it an ideal base for my fishing expeditions, and to sit there during the evening and relax and enjoy the view after a good days fishing makes it a fisherman paradise. Good luck for the forthcoming season to everyone involved in the project." - M. Hemming, Mid Wales.
"Great convenient site. Clean and well looked after. 5* location for exploring southern Shetland and all it has to offer. Recommend Sumburgh and Boddam Museum. St. Ninian's Isle a must! Too much to see on one visit so be back next year." - Cathy, Devon.
