Liked: Beautiful sight with a stunning set up! The owners very much look after the pitches and it shows. A proper homely feel. Coffee in the morning ready made was the perfect touch!

Disliked: Ladies shower was cold and the room very small, ended up changing in the toilets after running round in a towel. Whereas men's was a nice hot shower.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your review. I would dispute the statement saying shower was cold , all I can presume is you did not set the dials correctly , if this is really the case we would be having complaints everyday and this is the first time anybody has said the shower was cold.

Excellent location and friendly hosts

Liked: Lovely little campsite! We drove down from Inchnadamph area after a long day on mountains in bad weather and Martyn was very accommodating for us getting there quite late. He welcomed us at the gate, asked if we’d eaten and recommended the chippy a 5 minute walk down the road, which was just what we needed! He walked down and showed us where everything was and where we could pitch up. The site is right by a lovely river and was just the right amount of busy. There are lots of amenities nearby which was welcomed after some wild camping and remote stays recently. There is lots of attractions nearby so plenty to do! The showers are warm and there is plenty of space to do the washing up. A lovely stay and would recommend!

Unpowered grass tent site (small)

Liked: Martin is the friendly and helpful owner, who maintains a lovely small camping space next to a river ('Riverside' is a bit of a give away). It is well set up with a shower, laundry and toilet block, and labelled bins for disposal of unwanted items. There's a weak wifi signal for checking emails and planning onward travel, available up near the owners place of residence. Just outside the camp ground is a well-stocked store run by very friendly folk, and up the road is a fuel station!

Disliked: Nothing to add.

Liked: Here's a short review for Riverside Caravan Park: --- I stayed at Riverside Caravan Park for one night and had a wonderful experience. The facilities were clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. It's a perfect stop for anyone travelling the NC500, with the calming sound and view of the river adding to the charm. Conveniently, there is a local petrol station and shop close by. I would definitely stay here again.

From the manager: That is a very welcome review following the review prior to yours , it was great having you stay with us.

Local attractions

If you’ve any time left over after whisky trailing, fishing, climbing, mountain biking, wildlife watching or reflexology (really, it’s a hard life), there’s still a load to do around Riverside and the Scottish Highlands. Strathpeffer, Riverside’s nearest town, is well worth a look for its rather gorgeous golf course and the toys/exhibits of the Highland Museum of Childhood. Walk from the west end of Strathpeffer along the forest track to the hill of Cnoc Mor via the Pictish hill fort of Knock Farril, or drive a few miles from the town to visit Castle Leod originally a Pictish fort and now seat of the Mackenzie clan. A 24-hour mountain bike challenge starts each January from Strathpeffer too (yes, probably the one you saw on the news while you sat on the sofa polishing off the Christmas mince pies). And if you’re Loch Ness monster spotting on a day trip, pause for a few hours to Urquhart Castle on the loch’s shores, a medieval fortress and one of the biggest and most visited castles in Scotland.
