Caithness Caravan Park

Why stay here ...

Caithness Caravan Park is a peaceful, 5 pitch site, located in the countryside just 3 miles from the popular town of Thurso. We're open to all, adults, children and dogs, and provide electricity hook-ups and water connection to each pitch. There is a grey water emptying area, chemical waste emptying point and fresh water available on-site. Mobile signal on-site is generally very good. Pitches are on fairly level grass but levelling blocks are recommended where required. Awnings (without flooring) are welcome.

Wildlife lovers will enjoy seeing many kinds of birds, including short-eared owls, barn owls, hen harriers, buzzards, red kites, sea eagles, moorhens, merlin, kestrels, lapwing, curlews and oystercatchers. Summer visitors may be lucky enough to see them in the fields surrounding the park with their young chicks. Rabbits are very common in the area, and you may also see foxes, roe deer, and even otters.

We're conveniently located just 1 mile off the A9, and 3 miles from both Thurso and Castletown, where you'll find shops and supermarkets, as well as electric car charging points. Places to eat in Thurso include the artisan cafe, "Olive"' the newly opened, "Royal Thurso Hotel," and the "Y-Not Bar & Grill", and there are plenty of places to enjoy a wee dram.

Other hidden treasures include beautiful sandy beaches at Thurso, Dunnet and Scrabster where surfing, paddleboarding and other watersports are popular. Dunnet Forest offers beautiful walking and cycling trails, and often hosts activities for children in its log cabin. There are various options for sea and loch fishing within a few miles, and Thurso and Wick rivers offer the chance to see salmon. Golfers will enjoy the courses at Thurso and further afield at Keiss, which overlooks a stunning bay and white, sandy beach.

Caithness is renowned for its archaelogical places of interest, particularly the Camster Cairns burial mounds. A little further afield, the royal Castle of Mey is a great place to spend time, with its walled gardens, animal centre, tearoom, gift shop and guided tours of the castle. This is the royal residence formerly owned by the Queen Mother, which is still home to King Charles when he is in Caithness. Visitors who stay in August may be lucky enough to see His Royal Highness as he attands the Mey Highland Games.

And, of course any trip to the Far North is not complete without a visit to John O'Groats (and Dunnet Head, the actual most northerly point of Great Britain). Many guests use Caithness as a base to explore the Orkney Islands, and ferries from Scrabster, Gills Bay and John o'Groats offer various options including day trips.

Book with us for a week and take your time to enjoy all the North has to offer! We are also convenient as an overnight stop for those travelling the NC500. Caithness Caravan Park is open March 'til October and pitch prices are inclusive of electricity. We look forward to welcoming you!
