Native broadleaf woodland along the edge of the park

Peaceful woodland park on the Black Isle peninsula
A 10-minute drive from Inverness; Aviemore 35 minutes
Easy access to major roads, including the North Coast 500

Whether you’re exploring the city of Inverness, driving the North Coast 500 or simply enjoying the spectacular shorelines of Ross, Cromarty and Moray, fast-track your way to relaxation at Kessock Caravan Park. With a relaxing atmosphere and very pleasant views, this place is a quiet woodland park on the edge of a sheep and Christmas tree farm in the Black Isle area of the Highlands. There’s no trouble getting here – the private site is easy to access, with good accessibility from a number of major trunk roads including the A9, A96 and A835. Then, once you touch base, you’ll be able to unwind on well-maintained and spacious grounds, with native woodlands on one side and fir trees (a varied landscape if you ever did see one) on the other. Naturally, that means lots of wildlife come to call here too, especially birds – just keep your eyes peeled on the farm for buzzards and red kites, a particularly common sight. Kessock Caravan Park is about a mile from the small village of North Kessock, an attractive spot on the Beauly Firth with a range of cafés, pubs and places to stock up on food. The larger city of Inverness can also be easily reached via the Kessock Bridge within 10 minutes.

This was taken not long after leaving on a nc500 trip

Every pitch has a picnic bench, really useful

Several 'smaller' shower rooms, but with heating and warm water, and so clean

One larger shower room, again with heating, and again wonderfully clean

Liked Toilet and shower facilities were nice and clean. Pitch sizes were good. Quiet and peaceful location but not too far from big supermarkets. Large grassed area to sit and enjoy the sun.

Disliked No draining board at the sinks was a bit tricky.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Excellent stay for 2 weeks used as base for driving around Scotland.
Site clean and beautiful, excellent facilities with constant hot water to pot washing area and showers, washing machine and dryer available but not used by us, all areas cleaned several times a day by owners who were very helpful when we had issues with the car.
Beautiful location with local amenities within driving distance. Some fantastic places to visit and managed to see wild red deer and red squirrel on one of our trips into the wild.
Site is maintained with the wild life in mind and is set within fir trees, enjoyed watching the cheeky robins and birds .
Pitches 1-4 secluded and peaceful, lower end of site / tent area busy but not causing a disturbance.

Local attractions

Chase down the Loch Ness monster in a boat, kayak or canoe… at Loch Ness (20 minutes’ drive), there are boat cruises, watersports rentals and the lochside ruins of Urquhart Castle (35 minutes) to explore. If you’re keen to add dolphins to your creature-spotting list, your best chance is at Chanonry Point (20 minutes) on the coast. The Scottish coast has more remarkable points of interest, such as the beach caves and stunning coastal walks around the Rosemarkie beaches (15 minutes) and Ullapool (an hour), a pretty fishing town. Other ripe walking grounds include Ord Hill (10 minutes’ walk) and its gorgeous views over Inverness, the Ben Wyvis trailhead (50 minutes’ drive) river trail, the ancient pinewoods in Glen Affric (45 minutes) or a sightseeing-themed wander through the streets of Inverness (10 minutes) itself. Mountain biking trails more your kind of thing? Head to the Learnie Red Rock Trails (20 minutes). Otherwise, you may want to bike, climb or hike in the Aviemore and the Cairngorms (35 minutes) for other outdoorsy days out.
