I found a webb site that lists the sites on Orkney. It's www.ScottishCamping.com The site in Kirkwell sounds nice at, Education and Recreation Dept. (Orkney Isles Council), School Place, Kirkwall, Orkney. KW16 3DW. TEL: 01856 873535.
I have stayed on Orkney, but not in my camper as yet. I am planning on going in 2011, hence the research into sites to stay.

It's certainly a beautiful place, loads of antiquity, and the Ring of Brodgar has to be seen to be believed!

But do take some heating with you - even midsummer (when I went) can be cold with the winds, which are constant! And Delta pegs are a must if you're putting an awning up.

There are plenty of places to wild camp as well. I didn't camp when I went but stayed in a static caravan in someone's garden!
