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!

This is a beautiful site and we were made to feel so welcome, but this time we were camping and feel that the pitches for tents are not suitable, there are only 2 pitches for tents and are on the lowest part of the site where water seems to drain off to and they are the furthest from the facilities. The pub up the road is outstanding for meals.

Fantastic views, great hotel near by, lovely cycling too

We stayed here just 2 nights. We were warmly welcomed and wardens had no problem with us moving pitch the following day. Lovely site, beautiful beach, stunning location. We had a lovely meal at the nearby hotel which was about 10 minutes walk. Great cycle to Dunnet Head too.

Superb Location

This is a lovely site in a superb location, next to a wonderful bay. We enjoyed a relaxing and peaceful two-night stay, taking long walks on the beach and watching two great sunsets. Our dog, Geordie, really enjoyed his long walks on the sands. We took the Motorhome out on a short scenic drive to Dunnet Head, which is so much more impressive than John O’Groats! Dunnet Bay was one of the highlights of our tour of north east Scotland.

Best campsite ever

Never travelled up this far in Scotland and came across this campsite - what an absolute gem of a place. Had a wonderful pitch overlooking the sea with and gate leading directly from the site to steps straight onto the beach. Breathtaking views and sunsets make this a fabulous place to completely chill out. The site has fantastic facilities, spotlessly clean with wonderful hot showers, washing machine, tumble dryer and washing up room as well as a great “library” room providing lots of local info and leaflets. The icing on the cake is the people managing the site. Diane and Bernie were so welcoming and friendly, right from the start - even when we made a mistake with filling the water! They really helped to make our stay perfect. Even our dogs were made so very welcome and made friends with their two dogs, Willow and Woody! You’ll be making a big mistake if you don’t stay at Dunnet Bay!

Welcoming and dog friendly

The site is exposed to the wind but it is in such a beautiful location it really does not matter. The facilities are excellent and the wardens were very friendly and went beyond what was required of them. My dog was made welcome by the wardens and their two dogs. Lots of waggy tails from all the dogs at this site. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and I was there for twelve nights. At first I wondered if we could fill the days with different things to do but we managed it and wanted to stagy longer really. Just being able to wander down on to the beach in the morning is wonderful. A great beach to surf at but too shallow probably for swimming unless it is high tide.

Excellent Site

This site is well worth a stop over if your going to John O Groats. The site isn’t too big and very clean. The hosts were exceptionally helpful when they dried our washing due to broken tumble drier. The beach is amazing and we saw a beautiful sunset from the beach. Would definitely stop here again if we came up. We were here just over a week ago doing the NC500 and wasn’t too busy. Might need to pre book in busy season.

Super site, straight onto beautiful beach, close to Thurso and John O'Groats. Excellent facilities, clean and well maintained. Bookings and site well organised. Only negative was they ran out of Ice-cream. Well it was the end of the season.
