Ten minutes’ drive from Forres in the Highlands and Islands, and with a spectacular setting overlooking gorgeous sandy Findhorn Bay and the Moray Firth, Findhorn Bay Holiday Park is a quiet camping and touring site next to the renowned Findhorn Foundation, a model for sustainable community living. On-site facilities include modern and pristine shower facilities, a chemical disposal point, and a laundry with coin-operated washing machines and a dryer. There is a small children’s playground to keep young guests occupied, and dogs are welcome at the park, but must be kept on a lead at all times and cleaned up after please. The Findhorn Foundation runs a café serving delicious organic food (Thursday to Saturday) and an award-winning organic grocery shop, which also sells souvenirs and books.

Primitive grass tent campsite (medium)

Liked: Loved the site very calm and individual shower and toilet blocks were perfect. Lovely hot shower and immaculate. Short walk to Findhorn which was very pretty. Great shop selling organic food and whole eco housing estate on site too

Disliked: Quite near a road — not too bad during the day but aware of it in evening and early morning.

Gary M. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked: Location was amazing, only a 30 minute walk to the main beach or 10 minute walk to the bay where you can see all sorts of wildlife. Especially in the evenings when the seals climb onto a bit of land so with a good zoom can see and hear them. Plenty of space between pitches, plenty of showers with good quality facilities. Staff were friendly. If you have chance to eat at the Captains Table I would highly recommend as the meal was lovely and great value for money.

Disliked: Not really a dislike however the onsite restaraunt sells only Vegan options.
