  • Seaside holiday park in Lossiemouth on the Moray Firth coastline
  • Indoor swimming pool and live entertainment included in the rate
  • First-class facilities including fitness centre, sauna and restaurant
Silver Sands Holiday Park on Scotland's Moray Firth coastline is named after the sparkling stretch of beach that runs alongside it, but you'll reckon what's on site is pretty sparkling too: revamped facilities including an indoor swimming pool (free), a sauna and a fitness suite should have you feeling pretty bright… Silver Sands is at Lossiemouth on the north-eastern Scottish coastline, minutes from the very fine Moray Golf Club and a short drive from Inverness. As well as the pool, fitness suite and sauna, this well-maintained park has a restaurant and bar, an adventure play area for the kids, and live evening entertainment – and like the pool, facilities are free. You'll likely spend quite a bit of time off base too: Silver Sands has direct access to the three sandy miles of West Beach, brimming with rock pools, caves and sand dunes to explore.

Robert T.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (premium)

Liked Lovely site was my first impression on arrival…very clean and modern.

Disliked We were in the Motorhome pitches, the one we had there was no grass In places which left just exposed earth, which we had to step out onto!! Thank goodness it didn’t rain!! As it would’ve been a muddy mess. Especially with a dog.
Also the whole site could do with landscaping. Ie: bushes, shrubs, small trees to give it a bit more Privacy and character. I thought it looked more like an army barracks.

Ensuite camping pod

Liked First time booking through Pitchup. Everything was easy from start to finish. Silver Sands was great and perfect for our young family. The pod we stayed in was nice enough and would happily stay again. Good entertainment for the kids with plenty activities to do, the pool was good also.

Disliked Pod was'nt completely spotless. Few missed bits from the cleaners but we got by. The food and drink in the restaurant was very very overpriced and the food was below basic. £6.30 for a Guinness & £15. For a family friendly place the prices need looked at in my opinion.

Local attractions

The harbour and fishing town of Lossiemouth is a few miles from Silver Sands Holiday Park and has a good range of shops and restaurants as well as a fisheries museum, a small theatre/gig venue and the 18 holes of Moray Golf Club, regarded by those in the know as one of Scotland's finest courses. If you want to dig into Scotland's rich history, Balvenie Castle, one of the oldest stone castles in Scotland, is a short drive away, as is Inverness Castle, in the centre of the town overlooking the River Ness. Hang around in town after a trip to the castle for more historic buildings like Inverness Cathedral and the Old High Church. It's also not far to the shops, restaurants, museums, galleries and history of Aberdeen: recommended are the Aberdeen Art Gallery, Aberdeen Maritime Museum, live music in Belmont Street, Provost Ross' House and, if you're around in summer, dropping into some shows at the Aberdeen International Youth Festival.
