Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: Very private only us and one other van onsite, site owner very friendly. Shower and toilet facilities clean and nicely presented. Lovely views.

Disliked: For the price paid the site is very basic. It has what you need; EHU, water and waste disposal, one toilet and shower. You're very exposed to the elements and there’s nothing else on site except the toilet/ shower facility. There was only one other van onsite with us and we had to wait to use the toilet facilities so I imagine this would become more difficult with more vans pitched up.

Local attractions

To learn more about Caithness heritage, pay a visit to Nybster Broch (five minutes’ drive), the circular ruins of a former Iron Age settlement with a 19th-century tower covered in gargoyles built into it. Just down the road, the Caithness Broch Centre (also five minutes) displays Viking and Pictish artefacts found in local brochs, including pottery and gaming tokens. Have a nose around the dramatic clifftop ruins of Bucholie (five minutes) and Old Keiss castles (10 minutes), or for a regal day out, tour the sumptuous apartments and neatly planted walled gardens at the 16th-century Castle of Mey (25 minutes’ drive), once the home of HM, The Queen Mother. Head to John O’Groats (10 minutes) for beer and whisky tastings or to pick up pretty souvenirs in the art gallery. To admire the wild Caithness coastline from the sea, join a boat cruise from Wick (20 minutes) and get up close to caves and jagged sea stacks while looking out for puffin colonies tucked into the cliffs and seals basking on the rocks.
