  • Gravel hardstanding pitches just off the North Coast 500 route
  • A short walk to Golspie’s beach, mountain biking trails and waterfalls
  • Train station, shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants in the village
On your way around the North Coast 500 route? Or generally getting away to the Highlands and Islands for a look at the lochs, beaches and forests? A 15-minute walk from Golspie’s beachfront, Camping at Golspie is just off the A9 on the North Coast 500 – and the gravel hardstanding pitches make a fine place to base yourselves, with walks, waterfalls, golfing and beaches to fill your time, all within walking distance. Once you’ve landed in Golspie and settled down onto one of the safe, secure pitches (accommodating campervans, caravans and roof tents) where will you amble to first? Down into the village to collect supplies? Or perhaps you'll want to install yourself into one of the cafés, pubs or restaurants along the seafront? Take fish and chips on the shore, perhaps? While it may be little, the village is stacked with activities, from the golf course to the two-mile Big Burn Walk up to a series of waterfalls. All within five minutes’ drive of the site (or a short walk away), there’s a train station, a sandy beach for coastal strolls, a small racetrack or mountain biking on the Highland Wildcat Trails. Back on site, you’ll find this quite a convenient stay, as you’ll have access to one well-maintained toilet and shower room, one accessible toilet, fresh water and grey or chemical waste disposal. Although, note that the site only keeps one toilet (the accessible one) open during winter, as long as the water doesn't freeze.

What customers say

This is a clean, well-maintained and conveniently located site, particularly ideal for overnight stops on the NC500. Visitors appreciated the level pitches, good facilities including clean toilets and showers, and easy access. While some found the cost of showers inconvenient, the site is generally viewed as good value and a secure, peaceful place to stay. Potential drawbacks include occasional traffic noise and limited facilities for longer stays.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Quiet, nice view, easy to find and check in. Good walk along beach. Level pitch with water next to pitch

Disliked Having to pay £1 for a shower that was either freezing cold or scolding hot, so not a good experience. Quite a long walk to decent pub.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Well laid out with bays, shrubs and young trees. Toilets clean and spacious. Plenty of areas for filling up water (very high pressure when cold water comes out). Everything easy to access and find.
It was perfect for my needs at the time - if it was busy though accessing the shower or loos could be tricky.
I stayed for 4 nights as I was visiting family. Everyone else used it as a stop over - arriving late afternoon, evening and leaving early the next day.

Disliked Needing 2 hands to turn the cold water main hose on and off (the pressure of the water was so high it soaked me 😂) and I had to stand on the hose to keep it stable whilst turning off the supply as I needed both hands.
Suggest swing bins in loos instead of bins which require opening and closing (for hygiene and to ensure they close).

Liked Well laid out site with level pitches. The facilities are clean and well maintained. The site is easily accessed and although it's close to a main road there's not a great deal of noise. We woke to a beautiful sunrise over the sea

Local attractions

Longing to shoot off to a loch or two? There are a couple close by the site, including Loch Fleet (10 minutes’ drive). The nature reserve is a pretty good patch to walk along the pinewood trails or scout out if there are any seals or otters about, while at Loch Brora (20 minutes), waterside walks or cycles might be your course of action. Brora (10 minutes) is the name of the next village over – and much like Golspie, you won’t have a hard time finding things to fill your time. Sandcastle sculpting on the beach perhaps, or a go on the village golf course just behind the shore? Then, back to Golspie for the Dunrobin Castle & Gardens (five minutes), where you could catch a falconry display, or otherwise head on a tour of some of the 189 rooms? In Balblair Forest (35 minutes), there are more mountain biking trails for those of you on an adrenaline hunt. As for those of you who are intent on seeing sights you won’t catch elsewhere in the UK, you might want to call by Cairn Liath (five minutes) to see a broch that's unique to Scotland, as these old fortifications don’t exist elsewhere.
