Wonderful location

Absolutely loved this site, the beach is stunning, dog friendly and easily accessed directly from the site. The Site Wardens were friendly and helpful, providing information on our pitch, the facilities and the location. They clearly explained to read the information provided on the COVID restrictions and it can be fully understood why the facilities are restricted to one family group at a time, its just a case of avoiding peak times and being patient, though we didn't need to wait at all. We cannot wait to go back to this site and spend more time there and would highly recommend for anyone who wants a stunning beach and beautiful scenery.

Great Location

The main reason for staying here is the location on an extensive wild beach about as far north as you can get on the UK mainland. The site has adopted a range of Covid 19 measures including check-in by telephone and restricted toilet/shower access - probably easier to use your own facilities. The site borders a road so there is some road noise, but unlikely to bother most folks, The site is quite undulating so finding a level pitch isn’t easy without chocks. Quite an exposed site, so be prepared for all that mother nature can throw at you. Busy site given position on N500 route which is particularly busy this year. Friendly, helpful staff.

COVID gone mad

This was the final camp site for our Lands End to John O'Groats cycle ride - 18 days and 18 campsites across the length of the country. So we have seen a complete cross section of COVID ready preparations - from non-existent to extreme. An Dunnet Bay was the most extreme of the extreme To only allow one person at a time in the toilet / shower blocks when the site is full is just crazy. I gave up with site facilities and used the public car-park toilets which fortunately were just around the corner. Luckily we only stayed one night.

September Adventure 2020

Very enjoyable visit to Dunnet Bay. Booking in was very easy by telephone and everything was carefully explained by the pleasant lady warden. Beach is very beautiful and well worth a long walk. Cycling on back quiet roads really good and all vehicles passing were giving plenty room. The Dunnet Forest Walk is well worth a visit to see the log cabin and sculptures. Only downside was members allowing their dogs to use the tent area as a toilet - very inconsiderate and unpleasant for those who had to pitch their tents there.

Good to be back

As we have done many times before, had stopover on the way to Orkney and again week later on return. Site staff very welcoming and easy check in process. Given the covid issues we happily used own facilities so cannot comment on toilets/showers, although appeared to be good system for access. Happy to adhere to new rules etc for pleasure of getting back to sites.

A great holiday in new times

My wife and I, plus our convalescing dog had another great holiday at this wonderful site. Firstly a big thank you to the wardens who religiously did their best, working hard to a strict risk assessment which allowed us all to enjoy the site and facilities. Yes, there were the odd queues for the toilet block. Have we really become so intolerant to complain about a distancing queue, in these extreme times. We are a country with a queueing culture. Without this discipline the site would not have opened. It was kept very clean and tidy with procedures at each service point and a very well delivered reception and payment arrangement. The access to the beach was not a problem, all you had to do was walk out of the site entrance!! The site procedures allowed control over visitors wanting to use the toilets and we found it a very easy and efficient process. This area of Scotland has lots to see and do. The local hotel has a very COVID safe process for meals and they were excellent. Thank you for your hard work wardens and well done Caravan and Motorhome Club.

fantastic site

We pitched along by the road, which was fairly noisy during the day but not a problem at night. The pitch we were on was very flat which really wasn't the case on two other pitches that we tried first, having older dogs once we had levelled up using the chocks the step into the mh was far too high for me let alone our two oldies. Fantastic location suited us perfectly for access to the beach via a gentle slope onto the beach or you could use the steps. Beach is immaculate, had a fantastic view out of our window towards the beach (car park end) We didn't use any of the facilities preferring to use our own so can't comment on them. Will be visiting again asap.

Fabulous area , COVID 19 arrangements spoiled stay

Stunning site ,great pitches , friendly staff but unfortunately COVID 19 toilet/ shower arrangements spoilt stay. Only 2 facilities and one family able to use at any one time which meant there was a queue at most times.Therefore ended up having a shower around midnight.Also in the mornings which was queued I actually walked out of the site and used the rank public toilets adjacent for the beach users. Cannot see why there could not be 2 toilets open in each of the male and female blocks. Having said all that if you have onboard facilities it would be an excellent stay

Brilliant Coronavirus check in at a favourite site

Coronavirus points The check in process at the site is brilliant with no contact or requirement to go inside. Brilliantly done. There were cues for the toilets and showers but they are understandably restricted. I never witnessed any non members using the toilets, they used the car park toilets as many members were doing, non members would not have bands for a start. What really baffled me is why so many people are reluctant to use their own facilities, in two weeks our family showered every day in the van and used the van toilet without exception. There is a global pandemic do what you can to look after your own health. Site related points The site is in tip top condition and the location is just superb for anyone who wants to have a relaxing beach holiday. My family had a lovely break here for probably the fifth or sixth year in a row. We love it. It can be a busy site for wardens as they have a tremendous amount of turnover which has increased in recent years due to NC500 success which also brings less experienced campers but the wardens keep things working really well. There are loads of lovely places to visit and brilliant drives to be had. Orkney is not far away but would definitely recommend using the CL network and spending a week their, there is so much to do. See you next year :-)
