Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at Brora where the friendly wardens are doing a fabulous job of keeping the site looking lovely, the facilities spotless, and everyone safe. The site is in a great location for walking into Brora and beyond, either along the golf course or the beautiful sandy beach. Lots of highlights for nature lovers including Highland cows and sheep on the golf course, birdwatching on the beach, seals on the beach beyond the village, and dark-sky star-gazing.
September Adventure 2020
Just spent 4 lovely nights at Brora for the second time this year. The beach is amazing and well worth the walk. Easy access from the site to the beach and a walk along the golf course to Brora town is a great day out. Cycling on the small back roads around the site is also very good. Easy check in and very helpful wardens who clearly take a pride in keeping the facilities up to a high standard. Can't wait to go back next year.
Good but not what its was
Have visited Brora 6 times over the last 5 years and this is the first time I've not marked it as a five!
Before anyone says Motorhome bashing I can only report it as I see it.
Have just stayed for 13 nights and it's lost some of its sparkle.
Brora was always a quiet little gem of a site, majority of people staying 3/4 days minimum - not much traffic, people stopping for an idle chat to while away the hours. Over the 13 nights I'd say most days were at least 90% full if not 100%
At a guess 20/30% of campers leaving after one night - more traffic, less chat, less atmosphere
30% of vehicles had the word hire on them and probably explained the onsite speeding and in the cul de sac an interesting approach to reversing in what is a tight area!
The sights are it are all textbook Scotland, hills, valleys purple heather and you can never take away from that but may be time to start looking at quiet private sites!
Excellent site good location
Stunning site ,great pitches , friendly staff
COVID 19 arrangements not a fan of bands in a bucket much prefer having own band issued.
Unlike other sites no queues for facilities
Brora
First site since joining club. We had an illness in the family which affected our booking but the staff were vey flexible and helpful with amending dates. Covid procedures were simple and effective and made us feel secure.Had anyone not been following them (as mentioned in another review ) i would have no problem reporting them. Lovely site, good location and great for walks along the beach, or in the local countryside. Good value for money. There was no option for not applicable on the review section “good for families” as it didnt apply to us but i put 5* so as not to reduce the overall rating
We must all follow the Rules
I like the Brora and being from the north stay there frequently. My wife and I were there this past week and enjoyed our stay. But it was disturbing to find on at least two occasions more than two people were in the toilet block on at least two occasions. Before I left this morning from my shower I heard two adults talking. When I challenged them I found one other person had a wrist band and two others did not. There was actually four of us in the block! My wife came across a similar situation on leaving a toilet cubicle she found two German females at the hand wash bowl who would not move but told her to wash her hands in one of the privacy cubicles. It is unfair to hardworking staff and other campers that such people break the rules and put the health of us northern residents at risk.

First time with the Club, first time Brora
As new members to the Club, this was also our first Club stay. All I can say is that we were very impressed with the site, its facilities, and the genuine hospitality of the staff. It was a great location for touring on our bikes, with a fantastic ride up Glen Loth across to fell running in the hills behind Brora. The beach, well, it is stunning, and we were also able to safely outdoor swim with wet suits, but to be honest did not need them. It is also a great location for getting to John O' Groats.

Visit to the Highlands October 2019
Great site with fantastic walking. We stayed in October with some lovely weather and the beach is glorious to walk along into Town whatever the weather. If I had had a wetsuit would have joined some others in swimming! The wardens are really helpful and the site easy to find.
Superb Brora
Other reviewers have accurately described the first class features of this site: great location, accessible beach, well managed pitches, clean facilities and superb wardens. Here are a few extra tips. 1. Clynelish Distillery: walk through the village, cross the A9 and straight ahead to the distillery for a tour, tasting, or a special purchase. Beyond are delightful road walks - left to Brora village or ahead to the Brora lakes. 2. Sam’s Spice in Brora - it’s rated no 2 for curry in Scotland and we agree. 3. Don’t just book for a single night at this site: it is worth more than a passing visit.
To the top
What a fantastic little site stayed only 1 night on the way to the top of Scotland . So quiet and great walk over the golf course to the beach . Village has all provisions so you can fill up fridge. The wardens are so friendly and helpful
