North Keiss Camper Site

5.5 4 anmeldelser

This is one for all you North Coast 500 adventurers or solitude seekers. Whether you’re overnighting along the famous driving route or planning on hanging around to explore this untamed corner of Caithness, pitches at North Keiss Camper Site near John O’Groats have some seriously spectacular sea views. The views – which also take in the photogenic ruins of Old Keiss Castle – are what makes this remote and dog-friendly place special; on the facilities front you’re left to your own devices on a wild site with no waste disposal, water or electricity. If you’re looking for active holidays, you’ll certainly be in the right place, as nearby there are facilities for surfing and sailing. If you’d prefer to get sporty on dry land, go mountain biking, horse riding or simply walk your canine chums along the shoreline at Keiss beach (five minutes’ drive). Pick up foodie essentials in the supermarkets of Wick (15 minutes’ drive); if you’re not in the mood for cooking, there’s a welcoming local pub in Keiss (five minutes’ drive or 20 minutes’ walk), which serves fish and chips as well as home-cooked curries.

Lokale seværdigheder

Hikers can follow the Ceum Path along Sinclair’s Bay from Keiss beach, or choose a section of the John O’Groats Trail (both five minutes’ walk) along the cliff tops and past ruined castles as it runs north from Inverness. Time-honoured local landmarks along this wild coastline include Old Keiss Castle (five minutes’ walk), where 16th-century remains tower above Sinclair’s Bay, Bucholie Castle (five minutes’ drive) and Castle Sinclair Girnigoe (25 minutes). There’s more history to be seen along the way too, with the prehistoric brochs at Keiss (five minutes’ walk), Nybster (15 minutes) and Ness (55 minutes). Learn all about these ancient dwellings at the Caithness Broch Centre in Auckengill (five minutes’ drive). Famous as the start or finish of thousands of charity walks and bike rides, John O’Groats (10 minutes) is the northernmost town on the Scottish mainland. Visit to take a selfie at the John O’Groats sign and stroll along the headland for North Sea views. It’s also the departure point for cruises into the Pentland Firth to (hopefully) spot grey seals, minke whales and dolphins.

Areal til autocamper med hårdt underlag og græs uden elektricitet

Syntes om: Great view of the North Sea

Syntes ikke om: Very wet and muddy pitches which were unsuitable for a campervan. Unable to stay as we struggled even with all terrain tyres to get out of the mud

Excellent pitch with great views, needs better prep for all seasons

Syntes om: The views were stunning and the site was peaceful. Nice welcome from the owner

Syntes ikke om: Campsite was on grass and was not prepared for snow. We couldn't drive out to do our daily activities because we were stuck

Areal til autocamper med hårdt underlag og græs uden elektricitet

Syntes om: Nothing

Syntes ikke om: Poor directions and when we did find what we thought was it, it was like someone’s back garden on the edge of a cliff. There was a very steep access path and if we had gone down it, I don’t think we would have made it out again. We had to find somewhere else to stay on New Year’s day! Very disappointed!
