Stayed here in 2012 and again at the end of this year's season. Still a great site with good facilities maintained well. Lovely sandy bay immediately just off site. Fantastic area for coastal walking. Helpful friendly wardens. Site is sandwiched between main road and beach so some road noise but not obtrusive and noise from crashing waves is lovely. Look forward to returning in future. Apart from beach/bay things for kids is limited.
Glad We Stayed :)
Nice little spot , grass only pitches , only down side is the road that runs past it making it noisy at night, especially when people passing in cars beep there hooters as they drive past in the early hours of the morning !! Other than that a really lovely beach to walk the dogs on . Wardens friendly and approachable. Nice shower block and laundry , would visit again .
Love the herb box
When booking we were not told about the office specific opening hours time (09 - 11am and 4 - 6 pm). Good and very clean site, but only grass pitches available. The beach is great and very sandy. Loved this. We arrived in between these times and no access to toilets whatever. One needs to have a key to access these. You only get it after checking in. Luckly we had our caravan. Otherwise, very good facilities. Other downside to it, is that it is always windy here and the noise of the road, as the site situated right by main road going between Thurso to John O'Groats.

Been here a couple of times and love this site. Really clean, good showers and magic beach for the dogs and us. Marvellous sunsets if the weather permits.
Well worth the visit!
We stayed here for 3 days and had contrasting weather which you notice as this is a exposed site but a great location next to the beach. The wind on the first day meant our inflatable awning nearly took the wife to the Orkneys! The next day sunny, calm and a lovely walk along the beach. Visit Castle Mey if you can only about 5 miles away. Castletown has a decent butchers/grocery shop rather than going into Thurso. The site is all grass pitches and pleased to have made the long drive.
Love the herbs !
Dunnet Bay is a very well-kept site, with excellent facilities - including a box of fresh herbs growing just outside for people to pick if they like. What a lovely touch. Toilets/showers beautifully warm, too.
Only one small gripe - as the office was unmanned, we had to put our membership cards through a letter box, then wait 2 hours until someone was available. The toilets were locked, and we didn't know (being newbies) that you got a key once you'd paid. There was no notice to tell us that there might be alternative facilities elsewhere - fortunately we could use our caravan, but not everyone could do that.
Otherwise fine, and would recommend.
Dog (and owner) approved:
Spectacular site with direct access to a wide sandy beach. Me 'n' Beauregard spent lots of time chasing a ball around the beach, and he (but not I) sampled the waters... Good access to the sights of Scotland's North coast and well worth the effort of getting there. Also got to see the Northern Lights finally.
Heavenly!
What a wonderful site, right next to a sandy beach. Spotlessly clean facilities and really helpful and friendly wardens. Spent 6 nights here and enjoyed every minute, plenty to do in the area. Castle of Mey was well worth a visit, and John o Groats too. Drove across to Cape Wrath, a long way, but the scenery was outstanding. Midges a slight problem.
Only downside was the irresponsible dog owners who took their dogs to the beach and didn't clear up after them, I too am a dog owner, there are two bins beyond the gate to the beach, and still people can't clear it up! Never the less a great site, well worth making the effort to get there.

Fabulous
Second time we have made the long haul for Dunnet (650 miles each way) and was really worth it. The beach and wildlife and sunsets are really special. The site is very well kept by excellent wardens this year who work tirelessly to keep everything in order. They have to deal with a constant flow of all and sundry (not just CC members) turning up and wanting to stay - even an elderly Spanish coupe who were sleeping in their car when we were there ! I wish I could bottle the fresh air and breathe it for a year until we come again !
Excellent Site
AS you would expect from the caravan club a superb site over looking Dunnet Bay the sun sets are quite spectacular a wonderful beach for kids and dogs to walk and play
