  • Family park among the dunes of East Nairn, 15 miles from Inverness
  • Golf course, marina, beach and Moray Firth views
  • Pools, Jacuzzi, sauna, restaurant, bar, crazy golf and nature trails
With a handsome golf course on one side, a pretty marina filled with bobbing yachts on the other, and a panorama of golden sands and the sparkling Moray Firth in between, visitors to Nairn Lochloy Holiday Park certainly won’t find themselves short of a decent view… The park sits right among the dunes of beautiful East Nairn beach, about 15 miles from Inverness, making it a top spot for a Highland fling. Nairn Lochloy Holiday Park has excellent facilities for families: a kids' splash pool sits alongside the indoor pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and solarium; while the Star Landers and Freestyle kids’ clubs for tots to teens will have their imaginations running riot as they zoom into orbit at the Space Academy or travel back in time to solve an Egyptian mystery. With crazy golf, nature trails, and an outdoor play area too, there’s plenty of active fun to wear them out (and hopefully guarantee you some decent shut-eye). Grownups aren't neglected on the entertainment front either, with the all-singing, all-dancing Parkdean Troupers ensuring that the fun continues into the night at the Drifters family entertainment suite. Aside from the usual amenities, there’s also a restaurant, lounge bar and pizza parlour on site, plus plenty more food options in nearby Nairn.

Julie S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Star Dunes FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: Location and on site restaurant was handy, food good

Disliked: Toilet block was dirty. Literature on site said they were cleaned several times a day, we were pitched opposite for 2 nights and saw the staff calling round to clean but all they did was squirt blue solution into the wc's. The actual room / cubicles were filthy

Janice H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Star Dunes FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: The area and well laid out site for families.

Disliked: The shower cubicles were a bit dangerous, when you came out the floors were extremely slippery. Nowhere to sit and change into your clothes. Nowhere to put your toiletries, shampoo et. In the gents toilets, quite a few of the toilet seats were loose so when sitting down you slipped back and forth.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: The sandy beach was just a walk over some sand dunes. Absolutely stunning. Warm welcome when we arrived.

Disliked: Tent was right next to a water treatment works that made a loud mechanical noise at night - luckily had ear plugs and it was not smelly!

Les F. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Star Dunes FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: Excellent site and showers/toilet well maintained, just wish the campers took care of them better. There are toilet brushes etc to clean up after yourself but people choose to leave their mess for the staff to clean up, people are disgusting. The site supplies clean drinking water and 16amp electric hook up on pitch for tourer/caravans. Pitches are hard standing with a grass area next to it. The beach is a short walk away but beware of the tides as you can get caught out very easily walking on what you think is beach but it’ll be under water when the tide comes in. There is WiFi but that’s extra which was a bit annoying

Liked: Tenting location ideal and secluded. Beach is beautiful. Narin is a lovely town.
