Liked Fantastic people and service. So helpful and understanding after we accidentally drove under their sign and took it off! They were so helpful. Clean bathrooms with showers and hairdryers and all. Great services. Food and store. Easily accessible. Would stay again 100%.

Stephen H.

Electric gravel touring pitch (XL)

Liked The best thing about this campsite is definitely its location, it’s beautifully situated next to the river with a lovely walk into the town via 2 foot bridges. Great for dog walks.

The toilet block is spacious with huge room within the showers and the individual toilets. The radio is left running so you’re not listening to everyone else.

A shop for every essential is well stocked and the staff are amazing attentive and friendly.

Both the grass and the hard standing pitches appear to be very well looked after.

Disliked The hard standing whilst very solid and looked after may require ramps to adjust for level.

The power is shared between multiple pitches so can be quite far, bring a long hook up cable.

From the manager: Thank you for the amazing review. We hope you enjoyed your stay and will visit us again sometime.

The majority of our grass and hard standing pitches are pretty level but we do have a couple that may require levelling ramps to be used.

We recommend that customers bring a 25m 16 Amp hook up cable with them, however we do have a limited stock of 16 Amp extension cables in Reception that canbe borrowed if required.

Local attractions

Wick, of course, is the place to start – you can walk into the centre of town to visit the Wick Heritage Centre, grab a dram or two at Pulteney Distillery or head to the harbour to book a boat trip taking you out among the sea stacks and along the cliffs to see if you can spot seals, puffins and other marine life. Elsewhere along the coast, find the ruins of Castle of Old Wick (10 minutes’ drive) and Sinclair Girnigoe Castle (15 minutes), explore the intriguing stone creations at Hill O’ Many Stanes (15 minutes) or check out the natural rock formations at Whaligoe Steps (15 minutes) and Duncansby Stacks (25 minutes). Of course you can’t miss the opportunity to go up to the very north of Scotland to visit John O’Groats (25 minutes) and RSPB Dunnet Head (40 minutes). While you’re in the area, stop by at the 16th-century Castle & Gardens of Mey (half an hour) or take a detour to Reiss Sands (10 minutes) for a stroll among the dunes.
