On a tour of Scotland we, decided on the shores of Loch Ness that instead of heading to John o'Grotts we'd have a day around Inverness, so jumped on the app (at 3pm!) and booked, then while on route decided to stay 2 nights so as to give us a full day...
The warden couldn't have been nicer when I asked if we could stay 2 nights, no fuss, no sucking in of teeth, a wonderful helpful yes that no problem at all :)
Next to the site is a forest with a wonderful walk to take the dogs on and just 2 minutes away is a bus stop to take you into Inverness so that you can leave your vehicle behind and roam without a care in the world.
Highly recommend this site as a way point on your travel of Scotland
Lovely site
We stayed 2 nights on this site in our motorhome. On our one full day we caught the number 5 bus, with the bus stop just up the road from the site, to Inverness. These run hourly and cost £4.30 each return journey. It took about 1/2 hour to get to centre of the city. We spent half a day in Inverness walking by the riverside, went to the castle but only the tower is open to the public at £5 each and had lunch at one of the many eateries. We caught the number 5 bus outside Morrison’s stopping off at Culloden battlefield. This is a National Trust site but if not a member it is £12 each entrance fee. There is a visitor exhibition centre and we took the tour of the battlefield for an extra £2 each. All very informative. There is a gift shop and cafe too. If you like history it is a good half day trip. You can then walk back to the site via the footpath (don’t walk on the busy roadside) all the way back to site which is about a mile away. It’s a good site if you have a car but you have to be prepared to bus/walk quite a bit if no car.
Great Site
We stayed at this site for two nights on our way up North to Brora. Great site. Typical, spot on facilities that you would expect from Club sites. There is a great dog walk in the woods behind. Slightly sloping site but had no bother levelling our caravan. There in August and no midges! We came to go to the battlefield. Fantastic Visitor Centre. You could spend ours in there. We walked there from the campsite. All be it it’s along the road but not a bad walk.

Beautiful
First time here and what a relaxing and peaceful place this is. The pitches are deceiving as their not level, but once the rain comes you can understand why so leveling blocks needed!!! There is a sharp turn on to the higher numbered pitches, which is tight with a twin axle caravan but it's fine. Shower block is a little tried but hey, your only using the shower, and was clean and tidy. We used the washing up station which was always clean and tidy, Washing umm £5.00 for a wash and spin, I think that is a little expensive and the £1.00 per 15 minutes for drying, so this can be expensive. Dog walking is in the woods, but if your dog likes a run, you have no chance, unless you go to the beach. For us personally a dog washing area is needed as when you come from the beach or woods your dog does need a wash down. Linda & Keith were very accommodating and helpful nothing too much trouble, there are lovely flowers at the entrance of the site and dotted all over when you drive around. Nairn beach and harbour is about a 15 minute drive away, all free parking and the beach is breathtaking and clean, dogs are allowed on. Inverness is were you'll fine Asda, Tescos and Aldi for your food shop, Loch Ness is half an hour away but this is a peddled beach with a dog friendly pub Dores Inn. Fantastic food and a nice pint. Culloden Battlefield field is 10 mins away and worth the visit £11.00 if you want to go and have a look inside. However the gift shops and cafe and the site its self is free and dogs are allowed around the grounds. This site is great for site sightseeing and a base for the 500 coastline of the highlands. Would we return ???? Yes is the answer.
ok site
This doesn't feel like a caravan club site and we have visited many. The pitches are not as well kept with lots of weeds, the layout is bad, both for driving round and walking. People have made their own cut throughs to the toilet blocks which go through other people's pitches, they are well trodden paths but there should be something done to make it easier to access rather than just following the road round. Having said that the welcome we received was good, the dog walk straight into the forest excellent and the facilities ok although there was always a smell of damp/mould in the showers.
There is loads to do in the area - we visited Fort George where we saw dolphins, Fort Augustus, which is at the bottom of Loch Ness, where we watched the boats going through the Lochs and plenty of good walking. The retail parks close by are handy for the big Tescos and plenty of eating places.
Highland holiday
An enjoyable and peaceful stay in a very beautiful area. There is so much to do in the local area and a drive to the west coast to visit Inverewe Gardens was especially wonderful. The toilet block was excellent, always clean. However I noticed that all the pitches and garden areas are covered in weeds leading to an unkempt appearance.

Beautiful location, great site.
Lovely site, very friendly, helpful and welcoming staff. The facilities are excellent as usual. The pitches are tidy and nicely spaced. It's a very clean well kept site.
It's a bit tight to get around when you first arrive but it's ok for the experienced towers.
There is plenty to do and see locally, depending on what your interests are. We love sightseeing and driving so we took a trip to John O'Groats, it's a beautiful drive there with amazing scenery.
The Culloden Battlefield is a must to visit as is Inverness. There are a few whisky distilleries in the area too.
Overall I highly recommend this site and we will be back next year without a doubt.
Perfect site to start the North Coast 500
We stayed here for two nights before heading north to Dunnet Bay. The wardens were most friendly and helpful. Culloden Field is 5 minutes up the road. But there is so much to see in the Inverness Area it's impossible to do it in the time we had.
The facilities are as usual caravan club first class. Only complaint is that access around the top of the site is a bit tight with a long caravan. Also there is a need for an information room.
Would recommend this site.
