A site for the north of Scotland

A wonderful sandy bay for walking and an ideal site for visiting east of Thurso. The wardens are most welcoming and helpful. The site suffers by being very exposed and close to the main road, though this was not a problem in May. There are only grass pitches, which might be a problem for heavy motor homes during wet and windy weather, which can be the case in this part of Scotland.

Fantastic location

We stayed here for one night last week as a stopover on our North Coast 500 trip. It is a stunning location and Fizz loved the beach! The facilities were spotless and the pitch well kept. My only negative was that you needed a key for the toilets (I understand the reasons why they are locked). This can only be collected from reception once you have checked in. However, as the reception only opens between 4 - 6pm we were left without being able to go to the loo when we arrived at 3pm! Fine if you have a loo onboard but we are in a camper van with no such luxuries! Something to keep in mind if you arrive before reception opens.

A Must to Visit

We were touring the highlands doing the North Coast 500, so John O'Groats was on our list. This site is excellent for visiting the islands too, as a ferry leaves from Gills bay, just a few miles from site, to Orkney. The beach is amazing, as is the forest walk, just across the road from the site. Beautiful wood sculpture's can be found as you walk around. Great place for children and dogs to let off steam. Although there is no play area on site. With the beach and the forest on your doorstep, I think it's a great place for outdoor families. My only disappointment was with the warden, who was on duty when we went to the office. We had arrived in the afternoon, chosen our pitch, as per sign on door., I posted my membership card through the door and waited till 4pm when the warden was on duty. On entering the office, there was no greeting or acknowledgement. I gave her my name and pitch number, she handed my card back, checked the computer and her only words were...."one night £16.20." Very unusual, in my experience, for a warden to be so detached from their job. Everyone can have a bad day, but I don't think I'm the only person to have experienced this behaviour.

Excellent Site

Great wardens, couldn't do more to please & assist. Wonderful site, right on fantastic sandy beach, great for dogs and avid walkers although families with children may be stumped as there are no play facilities. Would I stay here again? Already planning next years visit, we travelled 750 miles to get here and we highly recommend a visit to this excellent site in a fantastic part of the British Isles, you won't be disappointed, we weren't!

Good Views

Lovely site with beautiful views across the sea with nice beach. We had rain, sleet, snow and winds extremely strong but still enjoyed it. Site clean and tidy. Not very good welcome by Wardens think there attitude could have been better. Friendly Hotel up the road with a very good meal.

Great little site

Nice small site with immaculate facilities. All grass pitches but well drained( needed to be in the weater we got!) so no problem getting on and off. Direct access to 2 miles of sandy beach and goid views of the seashorefrom some pitches. Friendly helpful staff. Would definitely stay again when up that way

Coast with the most

Beautiful site with a fantastic sandy bay. Lovely coastal walks especially around Dunnet head. Ideal location for visiting Wick Thurso and John O Groats. The moody beauty of the view of the sea from your caravan window is a sight to behold. This is a site we would revisit.

Love it here!

It's five years since we were last here and we weren't disappointed when we went back in September. We were again lucky enough to be pitched right next to the path to the beach (not sure I would fancy being near the road though). Just perfect here, and such a lovely area too. BUT Caravan Club why no WiFi? I understand it isn't 'worthwhile' because of the short opening season. Yes it is to the site users! Lovely wardens, spotless facilities, would definitely come back again.
