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.

Great little site in countryside but close to Nairn.
Rooftop tent non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked Nice campsite close to Nairn, which is also a lovely place to visit.
Great little site, with nice shop for essentials.
The warden was a star, we got to visit Findhorn on his recommendation, which was just stunning. He was always on hand and checking on everything. A really good asset to the site and also a great font of knowledge for places to visit. Thank you (and his dog was lovely too)
Disliked The only downside was the field for the tents was a little challenging to find an even enough pitch, but we managed ok.

PARFAIT
Rooftop tent non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked Tout était parfait, aussi bien cette année que l’année dernière, le lieu est calme et très beau aux alentours.
Le patron est d’une sympathie et d’une gentillesse sans limites, toujours un mot gentil.
Les sanitaires impeccables et il y a même une petite boutique avec le nécessaire pour manger et se dépanner pour le camping.
BRAVO et à l’année prochaine !!

Rooftop tent non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked We like the facilities at this campground and also the pleasant location. We usually visit once a year.
Disliked We left the campground this morning after a couple had moved in next to us the day before with two dogs, one of which was a pitbull or some crossbreed. Not only did we feel uncomfortable around this dog, but the owner also walked the dog at 3.30 am. ! When returning, the couple started talking and feeding the dogs. They did not respect the quiet hours and left by car around 6 am. Their tent was left on site.
Very unpleasant experience this time. If people with such dogs and behaving like that cannot be kept away from the site, we're not coming back.

A great campsite not to be missed, perfect for relaxed camping.
Rooftop tent non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked A really lovely campsite that did not disappoint. The grounds are well kept and looked after, with very clean bathroom facilities plus a cabin for washing dishes and washing machines. There is also the nice touch of a bothy which has a metal outside cooking area and plenty of tables and chairs inside which offers a warm eating/relaxing area out of the weather, that was much appreciated. This is a great dog friendly site offering plenty of beautiful walks alongside fields of crops and the river. There is a large climbing frame for the kids which was in very good condition. The Wi-Fi on site is excellent even over at the tents, enough to stream movies. The site is surrounded by fields, with sheep, goats and lama's? It is very much right in the Scottish countryside! Despite this it is only a few miles from plenty of shops or about 15mins drive from Inverness shopping park near Culloden. Overall the campsite is really well kept and a credit to the owner. I will be returning hopefully soon, Thanks.
Disliked I could not fault this site and others should use it as an example.
