Nice site close to sandy beach
Very friendly welcome, and we could choose from available pitches. Just cross the golf link to access the sandy beach for a long beach walk. The dogs loved it! Facilities good & clean.

Lovely Site
Easy to find with friendly welcome from warden. Narrow bridge approach but just take it slowly. Choose your own pitch. There were a selection of hard standing and grass pitches. Walk from site over golf course and you are straight onto the beach. Cows and sheep also on the golf course. Very well maintained site, nicely cut grass with additional wildlife areas alongside pretty flower areas. The wardens were always busy looking after this lovely site. We’ve been before and will come again, we really enjoy the peace and quiet alongside a beach.
NC500 at last
Wow what a perfect site so clean which is no surprise as the wardens were never still. A warm friendly welcome on arrival, given a choice of pitches, site facilities immaculate and a plus for us having a dog walk on site, an amazingly beautiful beach just a short walk through the golf course winner every time
Would thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect stop -spent 3 nights here
Very Attractive, Peaceful Site
Bora is a very attractive campsite within a small woodland setting, with individual hedges separating most of the pitches, which are also mostly quite big sized pitches. Lovely views of the nearby hills in the distance. It is one of my favourites as is so peaceful. Single couple wardens, as it’s a smaller site, been there for a few years, are welcoming and friendly and the facilities are kept very clean and are a decent number. The nearby beach, accessed across the golf course (with its resident sheep and cattle) is stunning and often can be almost deserted. The small 2 carriage local train passes nearby approximately 4 times a day, also lovely to watch. We have visited this campsite many times and also the area as return to visit relatives and always enjoy and look forward to our visit. However I am saddened by the effect of the ill thought through NC500 tourist route created by the SNP government, with no additional investment to the local communities now suffering the over whelming number of tourists , resulting in many one night, travelling through campers, not really their fault, but they have little time to speak much to other campers and the campsite is now fairly empty during the daytime and although full at night, it feels a bit soul less now, lacking a feel of community. I would suggest maybe create a row of allocated pitches for the one night NC500 travellers and let longer stayers or less rushed campers relax and enjoy the campsite together. Just my thoughts, others will disagree i imagine!

ITS ALL ABOUT THE BEACH
If you are travelling to Orkney this is the ideal club site as the journey to either ferry across the Pentland Firth is less than 2 hours. There are good roads whether you are travelling north, south or across to the west coast. But the gem of this site is the beach which is easy to access by a short stroll across the golf course. If you arrive tired after all your travelling (which we did) the paddling or swimming opportunities here will revive every time. Friendly warm welcome from the wardens and usual high standard of facilities.
Perfectly placed.
A perfectly placed site if you are doing the NC500. I stopped here on my way round. Dropped the wobble box off, and explored the area. I had a very good pitch alongside the golf course. Easy walk to a fabulous beach. Facilities were clean and well looked after. Would stay here again if coming passed.
Great campsite
Great site and location. We are coming back very soon. Everything clean, tidy and well kept.
Great site, very welcoming staff
We stayed a night here during our tour of the NC500.
Lovely, well maintained site with friendly and welcoming wardens. The site is well maintained and close to the beach via a short walk over the adjacent golf club.
Definitely a site we would return to
Stunning Location
Lovely location on the east coast. Five minute walk across the golf course adjacent, to the beach. Stunning red sand beach. Weather was showery and cold during our visit but who cares with such views and scenery all around!
As in a lot of sites, showers and toilet facilities were a bit tired but exceptionally clean. We appreciated the book and DVD exchange or a donation could be made instead if you have none the swap.
Brora has a coop for supplies and can be walked to up the golf course if you like but we stopped back there after our day out. It has an ice cream shop and a couple of take aways as far as we could see…we didn’t use them this time.
We stayed for two nights and explored the coast road up as far as Wick. Helmsdale has a great fish and chip shop ( huge portions) and also a restaurant. We got fish and chips and ate them overlooking the harbour. Also there is a nice harbour and walk to a Fairy Glen at Latheron Wheel.
Staff were brilliant and so friendly.
Birds a bit noisy at night and you could hear the sound of the train in the distance but it didn’t overly bother us as you get used to it after a while.
We would definitely return when in the area.
Wee tended site
A larger club site without being crowded.
Great access to the beach over the golf course, dogs loved it.
