Why stay here ...

LOW 10% refundable deposit plus FREE cancellations and FREE amendments*

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.

To contact the campsite directly, please call 01847 821319.

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.

Beautiful!

Dunnet Bay Club Campsite
This site was in a very beautiful area - and the adjacent beach was stunning!!! Unfortunately the weather wasn't brilliant and it was so cold, despite being in June - but it didn't spoil our enjoyment!!
