Peaceful , scenic site, helpful owner

Kingsdale
Set amongst hills and moorland, this site was very peaceful and offered dog walks direct from site up the hills. We were met by Mr Dickie upon arrival who explained where everything was. The grey water disposal was direct into a ditch which runs around the perimeter of the field. Drinking water from your pitch and black waste disposal at end of field. Visited Stromness from here as well as Standing Stones of Stenness, Ring of Brodgar. Also handy for Maeshowe Cairn (note you need to book your visit here, we couldn't get booked in for 4-5 days but it was worth the wait) book online or by phone.

Superb location for any Orkney holiday

Kingsdale
A nice farm CL with loads of room to spread out away from fellow campers in the grassy field. It has everything you need water, electricity and a waste dump. The owners were nice and welcoming. Apart from that it is as you would expect a farm CL. This CL is perfectly situated for you to enjoy everything that Orkney has to offer a visitor. Orkney is such a special place to visit that you will not be disappointed and this CL is right at the centre of most of it. It is a stunningly good holiday destination. I cannot recommend it enough.

A little gem of a site

Kingsdale
Just been over to Orkney and spent 11 nights on this site, it is lovely and peaceful and very central to the islands main sites being only a few miles from Kirkwall. You are within easy travelling distance to all the inter island ferry terminals. A lovely well maintained site and would recommend it highly.
