A good choice for those who enjoy solitary tranquillity, at Dunnet Bay Club Campsite in Scotland you can admire the stunning views over clean washed sands to lovely Dunnet Head, the northernmost point of the British mainland. Located in Dunnet, Thurso, the campsite is in an area of vast natural beauty - it's a perfect location to unwind from the bustle of day to day life.
Dunnet Bay Club Campsite is ideal for walking expeditions and offers great nearby dog walking too. If you climb Dunnet Head you will be treated to magnificent views over the Pentland Firth to Orkney and a great part of the north coast to Ben Loyal and Ben Hope. To take in local restaurants as well as some retail therapy, a day trip over to Orkney from John O'Groats or Scrabster won't disappoint, in fact you can island-hop the string of islands by both boat and coach. If you're a keen birdwatcher, you can take a ferry trip around the Stacks of Duncansby to see a wealth of seabird life. Anglers are spoilt for choice with sea fishing by boat from Scrabster, fishing from the beach or freshwater fishing nearby. Sites of historic interest include the majestic Castle Mey and Mary Anne's Cottage, a museum detailing crofting life.

Stunning campsite
Dunnet Bay Club Campsite
Stunning campsite in a breathtaking location.
Lovely staff, full of information and a friendly greeting everytime you see them
The beach is amazing and just a very short walk from the site.
Views from the van every morning we're stunning even when we had stormy weather.
Site is no peaceful and quiet.
John O'Groats is a short drive away.
Lovely site, would love to come back, only negative is it's so far from our home on the south coast of England!
Great beach!
Dunnet Bay Club Campsite
Stopped over for 2 nights on our tour of the NC500. A friendly welcome on our arrival and when ever we saw the couple on site. Amenities all clean. Small shop in reception. Pitches were all grass so luckily the pitches were not sodden as our Motorhome May have sunk! Great views over Dunnet Bay. Beautiful beach to take a leisurely stroll to the Harbour to have a Picnic. You will need bikes or a car to explore more. John O’Groats is worth a visit. Note for dog owners the nearest hotel/bar is not dog friendly inside.
AMAZING!!!!
Dunnet Bay Club Campsite
What a fantastic site!! Stayed in August for 6 nights, the site is well maintained by the most amazing staff Alan and Clare. Lovely welcome on arrival, reception area has a variety of frozen food, snacks and drink items available to buy at excellent prices.There are also NC500 items to buy too. Great information room with maps, leaflets and current local events. Toilet and shower blocks are spotless, as is the kitchen area. Short path from the site to the beautiful beach, we enjoyed great days out in the water. Local surf school available next to the site offering single and group lessons.

Lovely beach site
Dunnet Bay Club Campsite
Dunnet Bay is a fabulous spot. Right on the beach with a short walk over the dunes.
Flat pitches.
Wonderful walks and if you are a good hiker I recommend the headland walk to Dunnet Head but it is around a 5 hour hike there and bac! I saw Puffins on the cliffs.
Will definitely return and stay longer.
Right next to beautiful beach
Dunnet Bay Club Campsite
Perfect location when doing NC500 or just visiting the North Coast. The beach is right next to the camp site, the dogs loved it! Very friendly welcome and clean facilities. Site itself is just flat with no shelter for wind or shade from the sun.
