Beautiful location

We arrived here and instantly loved it. The wardens are the most friendly and helpful we have come across. It is a small site in comparison to some we have visited and neighbours can change daily. We were booked for 3 nights but decided to stay for 6 and wished it could have been longer. Apart from walking the beautiful enormous beach every day and marvelling at the sunsets Every night we visited Dunnet forest and the dramatic Dunnet Head. Fabulous on a blue sky day. We loved Shell beach on the way to Duncansby head at John O Groats. While you are there try to book in a visit to the Rock Rose gin distillery. It is fabulous well recommended and walkable from the site. There are supermarkets in Thurso and Wick. Most pitches have a view to some part of the beach and some can be uneven. Brilliant for kids and dogs. Shame it’s such a long way from home. Would love to return one day. Happy memories!❤️

Rushworth family holiday

This was by far the best site that we have ever stayed on. The wardens were outstanding, kind and friendly. The facilities were spotless as was the site. Dunnet bay is perfect for granddaughters and energetic dogs allowing the adults to walk and relax along the beautiful beach. We only originally booked for 2 nights but stayed for 4 we loved it so much.

Excellent site

We loved the site. The pitches are generous, and most of them have views of the bay. The direct access to the dog friendly beach was a real bonus too. We visited in July and the surf was good enough for our teenagers on most of the days we were there. We had excellent weather, which obviously isn't guaranteed in the highlands. The wardens at this site can't be praised highly enough. They are constantly on the go and keep the site spotless, and are always available with help or advice, whilst maintaining a relaxed easy atmosphere on the site. The road noise can be heard from all across the site, but I guess that's the price you pay for such easy access!

Liked the site, a very friendly welcome from the wardens and site well kept, with clean and well kept facilities. Ideal site for families as there is a great expanse of sandy beach and not too far from the village of Dunnet and plenty shopping in the towns of Wick and Thurso. Not far from the famous John o' Groats the furthest North one can go on the mainland. Car and passenger ferries run daily if anyone would want to cross to the Orkney Islands. Would highly recommend it.

Fantastic site

Spent 10 days on this wonderful site enjoying the sunshine, views from our pitch, wildlife, the nearby gin distillery, the beach, the reserve wardens, the full time wardens....I could go on. This was possibly the most I have enjoyed a long stay on any caravan site and really did not want to leave. This despite arriving to 50mph+ winds and being correctly advised not to put the awning up, then looking out at what appeared to be a beautiful sunny day only to have to hold onto the door every time we opened it. Then the weather settled to a beautiful 20+ Celsius whilst the rest of the UK sweltered in the 30's and it was just wonderful. Lots to see and do in some of the remotest parts of Scotland. Toilet block could benefit from an update and a barrier system would have made us feel a little more secure, as well as taking a lot of pressure of the site wardens. The relief wardens were simply wonderful but then again so are the full time wardens. A real credit to the club in every way, all four of them. Thanks for a great holiday!

First stay at this site

We arrived on site in brilliant sunshine to be greeted by Bev & Mel who we first met at Melrose at Xmas when we were staying at a hotel. It was really great to have such a warm welcome and they keep the site to a very high standard considering how busy they seem to be with arrivals. We had excellent weather for the 5 days we were there and almost felt as though we were on the continent with the clear blue sea on our doorstep.

Dunnet with a beach to die for

This is our second visit to Dunnet Bay the last being in May 2018. Arrived and were met by the temp site wardens as the resident wardens were taking a well earned break, and throughout the 14 day stay I can understand why they would need a break. On their return a few days after we arrived Mel & Bev the resident wardens returned. Over the 14days the site was very busy with the site being full every day. The majority of visitors to the site arrive during the allotted time period but there are a few who arrive whenever they like. Come on Caravan Club having two wardens on this site is not enough. It is for this reason at the end of the day that the gates are closed and a "site full" notice is erected after all the people who run this site for our benefit and enjoyment are entitled to their off duty period. Both did a great job to keep the site clean and tidy and I take my hat off to both of them for the time and effort they put into the job of being wardens I don't think I could do it and keep my cool at the same time. Members who visit the sight must take advantage of a short boat trip from John O Groats to The Orkney isles the sites and views are amazing. We both look forward to another visit in the future

The friendly and helpful wardens added to the pleasure of staying on this excellent site. The wonderful beach is a stones throw away. Shower room was modern and very clean. Arrival area is well signposted and there is plenty of room on each pitch. Would definitely recommend this site.
