Superb location

We stayed a couple of nights here and what a fantastic place. Friendly staff, good clean facilities, great beach & woodland near by for dog and human walks. The beach very popular with watersport enthusiasts. Sadly the washing machine & dryer were not working when here and the site Wi-Fi is only available near the information room. From here we visited John o Groats, the Castle of Mey and the Dunnet head RSPB/ lighthouse (the only day we had a sea fret). All well worth visiting. One day was so lovely and sunny after many chilly days that we spent the day around the site just relaxing. We never managed to try the pub just up the road but those who we spoke to said it did lovely meals. This site is well worth staying at as part of the NC500 or for a longer stay.

Felt like being st the top of the world

Such a lovely location, right at the top of Scotland. Windy, as you might expect but the site spots right next to.a massive sandy beach popular with surfers. A really friendly and helpful couple manage the site which is spotless. Drawback or benefit, you decide, there were no shops or pubs close enough for us to walk to.

The Far North on the NC500.

Great Great Great, about as far north as you can get a CMC site with such enthusiastic wardens, who could not do enough to help with any problems not that we had any, grass pitches is not the best but there were adequate for the three nights we spent there doing the NC500 anti-clockwise.

Lovely site

Thank you for a wonderful stay. A lovely campsite with a lovely couple running it. A great location for seeing the top of Scotland with a glorious beach. The facilities were very well looked after and very clean.

Excellent Northern Location

We traveled to Dunnet Bay on the recommendation of a friend and we were not disappointed, what an excellent northern small site located a few yards from the beach. Dianne & Bernie were amazing wardens, very friendly and welcoming from the get go. They introduced their 2 spaniels Willow & Woody to our 2 Clover & Daisy. They immediately made us feel at home and as though we were old friends. Simply a lovely couple who work hard to keep the site neat, tidy and very clean. Dunnet Bay is a small site but has all you need and is ideally located right on the beach and close to John O’Groats, Dunnet Head and the Castle of Mey. Dunnet Forest is a must see with various walks for different abilities along with some hidden treasures. I won’t say what, go see for yourself. Thurso is a short drive away too for supplies with a Lidl and Tesco. The Castle Arms hotel in Mey was an unexpected find for dinner on our last night. It was delicious and a good selection of ales and dog friendly. The only negative was the weather, not too warm and far too windy, the heatwave didn’t quite make it to the Sutherland Peninsula. That didn’t dampen our spirits and we both thoroughly enjoyed our 6 night stay. The dogs certainly loved running on the beach and through the forest despite the weather.

Good location

Travelling the NC500 and stopping in laybys, we were so pleased to find this club site. Lovely location right by a sandy beach. As expected, the facilities are a good standard and kept very clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. We had a welcome shower and did our laundry. At 7am the next morning there was no queue so best to avoid peak times! Sadly the weather was appalling so had a very short walk on the beach. So happy to find a club site in such a remote location.

We will be back

Great location, fantastic beaches and walks along the 2 mile wide bay. John O'Groats, Ducanby Stacks and Dunnett Head are a short drive away. Visit the woods opposite, it's community-run with loads to see and much better than it looks from the road!

Ideal location for John o' Groats

Ideal location for nearby John o' Groats and NC 500, but could be noisy as next to a busy road. Feel the club should plant a hedge to help resolve the problem, making it more private and less exposed. Had site facing the beach, was on grass and a slope but no problems and there were mats around to put under your wheels. Pitches were small so where there was a caravan, awning and car they were close to their neighbours ..Wardens were very friendly and kept the site clean. Showers were fine, clean but only 3 showers so had to queue and not enough hooks. The site is next yo a superb long sandy beach and just down the road from a pub where we had an excellent meal

Nc500 stop

Used this site for stopover during our nc500 tour with 7m Moho. Lovely position on coast and had sea view pitch. All grass and many uneven. Got here around 2.30pm after visiting John o groats and duncansby stacks and only 4/5 pitches left would have come a little earlier if we had known it was that full. Lovely welcome from wardens. Nice walk on beach to local hotel but no dogs allowed policy and way too windy to eat outside!! Site very exposed to weather. Very full so showers busy next morning. Overall lovely site and would recommend but make sure you have your evening meal with you! No local shop!

Dunnet Bay

A good site next to a long beach with direct access - excellent views. Used it as a stop over when doing the N500. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The facilities clean and tidy. It is a bit exposed if windy and rainy. Easy access to the site and there is an adjacent pay car park if you are not staying to get to the beach!
