What customers say

This is a highly-rated, well-maintained campsite praised for its cleanliness, excellent facilities, and peaceful rural setting. Guests appreciate the spacious pitches, friendly and helpful staff, and the secure dog walking areas. The site's location offers beautiful views and is conveniently close to Nairn and other local attractions. Highland cows on-site are a popular feature. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few minor points were raised regarding shower temperature and the proximity of some tent pitches.

Liked Loved the location. Absolutely breathtaking.
So quiet apart from the odd plane flying over to Inverness Airport, which was never a bother for me. Facilities were great, toilets and showers on site. Also laundry machines are available which were needed for us.

Will happily come back.😊

Samantha H.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked We had two lovely nights here. It was quiet and spacious. We have dogs so having a secure run for them was fantastic. It is a short drive to town and supermarkets and the owner met us us and checked us in with speedy efficiency. He told us about everything, washing machine, dryer, fields.
All in all a great stay for us with the dogs. The space was great for families with kids too as there is a fenced off playground and of course the fields.

Disliked I needed a shower in the evening after a day of being on the fine sand of the beach. The water water only lukewarm and it was fortunate that it was a warm evening.

Lesley C.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked We spent three nights here in a campervan. The location is beautiful and very peaceful, surrounded by fields and woods. The facilities were good with electric and water on the hook up. Shower/toilet block scrupulously clean, plenty of bins, recycling. Super extensive dog walk around paths cut into bushes in a fields. Play area for children on the outskirts, plus a bothy where people, particularly those in tents, can go to socialise, and if the weather is unkind.
Most of the people staying were adults, just a few children (Scots children were back at school when we stayed)
Some slightly sloping pitches, remedied with chocks.
The whole campsite is thoughtfully laid out. We particularly liked the big field with the Bronze Age barrow and the standing stones in the middle of the site (very much interested in prehistory) and more in the dog walk. Dark skies at night.
The staff were friendly and helpful.
Very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend this site.

Disliked Very little. A hair dryer in the shower block would be nice.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Everything. Lovely quiet and relaxing. Lovely views Central to the coast and Inverness and the historic culloden.
Lovely clean sight with 2 toilet and shower block, also accessible needs sowers/ toilet.
I have to say I’ve been camping/motor-homing for years and these are the best showers I’ve come across. Really enjoyed our stay. The man who rubs the site, very welcoming.

Disliked Nothing.

Local attractions

Historical hotspots are rife in this part of Scotland – hike to Cawdor Castle and Gardens in an hour and a half, then travel to Culloden Battlefield visitor centre and interactive exhibition (15 minutes' drive) to see the setting of the famed Jacobite Rising’s last battle. The 18th-century Fort George is about the same distance for gazing at an awe-inspiring selection of arms, including muskets, pikes and ammunition pouches. More places to poke around in the past – from museums to castles – are in Inverness (25 minutes), which is also the gateway to Loch Ness (45 minutes). Drive or dawdle along the banks while trying to catch a glimpse of the fabled monster, stopping by the ruins of Castle Urquhart (55 minutes) for pretty pics with the water in the background. To get out on the water, dolphin spotting and sea fishing tours leave from Inverness and sail through the Moray Firth, while the northern edges of the Cairngorms National Park are around 40 minutes away for terrific treks in this classic Scottish landscape. Head deeper into the area for the Cairngorm Reindeer Centre (an hour away), then round off the trip with a tour and tasting of some of Scotland’s finest whisky at the Knockando distillery (55 minutes).
