For Outer Hebrides:

The West Harris Trust has some useful information and some nice camping spots
Camping From golden sands to turquoise seas, West Harris is an area blessed with stunning natural landscapes. What better way to enjoy this unique setting than by getting back to nature and camping…

If you are going across to Outer Hebrides it’s a good plan to have a vague plan in case the sailings disrupted. It’s happened to us!
We did not use the island hopper ticket but just rang ahead as we went.
Lots of cycling options on the quiet roads - get a map and take a punt on a few promising loops. Roads can be hilly!- eg Vatersay to Barra and roads on Harris.
Good camping spots are to be found all over ( eg. See our camp spot in second picture) and we found it quiet out of season. Do a bit of research and you will find some great spots Beware it can get windy in some spots so watch the forecast!
We think it’s best in Late April/May or in September.
Do remember to support local shops etc. Fabulous seafood! seafood
All you need is good weather. If you are retired then my advice is to watch the medium range forecast and head off when it looks to be set fair.
For Mainland there’s a wealth of opportunities -see previous threads
We particularly like the Coigach and Summer Isles area, Torridon, Assynt, and around Lochinver ...
