Stop number 3 towards the north

Beautiful location when you find it but please take care over the railway bridge. We had a lovely pitch in the middle grass circle but it is not sheltered like the description states. On both nights got a proper buffeting from the very strong wind. Superb beach but please be aware of cows on golf course who get very inquisitive about dogs.....we climbed a gate to get out of their way! Sutherland Arms in Brora serves excellent food and give a warm welcome to dogs.

Lovely site, shame about the Wardens

We visited Brora in our Motorhome in May on our tour of Scotland. The entrance is very tight, particularly for large caravans but the site is very well placed. Its just a short walk across the golf course and you are greeted with a wonderful beach. However, we very nearly didn't get the opportunity to see the beach. We arrived at around 4pm, along with 4 other vans all within 15mins of our arrival! The site was very busy but fortunately we had booked a hardstanding in advance. Unfortunately the office was closed! Why the office was closed at probably one of the busiest times for arrivals was beyond me. A scribbled note at the office said pitch 6 was available but it was a small space only really suitable for a small camper van and not our 7M Motorhome. Fortunately my partner spotted a warden so she asked where our pre booked pitch was, only to be treated with, "Sorry Im not working today" and despite further questioning they repeated that they were "not working today"! We eventually found a pitch off the one way system next to the grass area and assumed it was ok to pitch there. Later in the afternoon a warden knocked on the door to check all was well. We explained that we were very disappointed with the attitude of one of his colleagues, refusing to direct us to our pre paid pitch. The warden said that he didn't have to advise us where to pitch because he wasn't working that day, and if we didn't like it we should write to the club! We did of course write to the club to complain about this unacceptable attitude and 3 months later we are still waiting for a reply! If a warden is walking the site wearing a club polo shirt he is representing the company and should act in such a manner the club would expect whether officially working or not! I can only hope that since our visit in May the Wardens have been re-trained in customer relations.

My best site ever!

We stayed here for 2 nights on our recent epic journey north from the Midlands to Orkney staying at caravan club sites a long the way. This was my favourite site of the whole journey and of other sites we've been to over the years. This is all in all a lovely site to stay at in an excellent location with the facilities you would expect from CAMC. Pitches were great and wardens friendly. The location really made it. A short walk to a white Sandy beach. Quiet, beautiful, even seals in the water. Kids paddled and played and we LOVED it. Short drive to local amenities in Brora and Golspie. Nice icecream and toy shop in Golspie that the kids loved and another beach right next to the village car park. Couldn't recommend it more! We'll be back!

Lovely site

We have just spent 8 nights at this site and you can't fault it apart from one small criticism and that is the gravel on the hard standing pitches. They are ample sized but we had our awning up and there was a lot of large stones as well as small ones in with the gravel that were very noticeable when you stood on them. It was messy too. We have stayed on sites were the gravel is consistent in size and clean. The wardens were very friendly the whole time from the relief wardens on our arrival to the resident ones through out and when we left. The approach is narrow and you have to take care going over the bridge but a big pick up truck arrived to take one van away and he got there OK. The area is ok but not as scenic as the west. We went to Dornoch which is well worth a visit, the buildings are sandy in colour a bit like the Cotswolds. There are some nice shops, some of them are in the old jail and are set in the cells. The dog walk is good and you can get onto the beach with a short walk over the sand dunes. One of the things that we find very annoying and it is on any site and that is dogs that are allowed to bark constantly, we have a dog and she very rarely barks but if she does we stop her straight away, some people stop to talk to each other and just let there dogs keep barking, one couple even left there two dogs in their caravan for a few hours with no ventilation and they were Constantly barking on a warm evening. The warden dealt with it the best he could the site was full but very quiet apart from the dogs. We probably won't go back as we don't wish to visit the area again but it is a nice site

This is a nice site with easy access to decent beach walks. Just beware of the golfers. Clynelish distillery is within walking distance (about a mile) and is well worth a visit. Site itself was clean and wardens pleasant.

second visit not so good as first

this is a beautiful site, very close to the beach, clean and well kept. my disappointment was that when we checked in for 2 nights no-one mentioned that the laundry facilities were out of order. there were no signs in reception and no mention was made. unfortunately we were on a one month tour and specifically booked in to use the laundry room, whilst I realise the staff did not know this I do think some mention on check in that it was not working would have been helpful. as it was we checked in for 2 nights, my wife went straight to the laundry room and found it was out of order and I went straight back and said we would therefore only require 1 night. although very pleasant it was pointed out that I had to give 72 hours notice to cancel. we left the next morning bit disgruntled. I would still recommend this site as it is in a lovely location beautifully kept and the staff are generally lovely

Really lovely site, kept immaculately clean by the friendly staff, and a great location for both the unspoiled beach and the nearby walks. Handy for Golspie and Dunbeath with more dog walks. Just take care on that narrow railway bridge....

Great site

Exactly what we were expecting, stunning beach 2 mins walk away, very quiet as it doesn’t really suit young families with children👍👍which suited us perfect, great for anyone with a pooch, ours loved the beach, never needed to contact the wardens as everything was perfect, will definitely be going back next year

Ideal site for peace and quiet

We have been going to this site for many years now and have always been pleased with the facilities even though they are looking a bit tired and could do with bringing up to date to match other club sites. We visit 4 times a year for many years now and will be going back again and again.

Lovely site

Lovely site - spotlessly clean and tidy. Thank you to the Wardens. Right on the beach. It is a very pleasant walk into Brora. The Royal Marine Hotel serves a great pot of tea and biscuits for 2 for £3.50 in a very pretty garden. They also do food. The weather as always is unpredictable but isn't it everywhere! Many thanks for a lovely stay.
