Mark P.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Great site with lovely views
Very friendly owner
Everything you need small & friendly

Disliked The only down side and it’s no big issue
The loo & shower are in the same unit
So if someone is showering for a while and you need the loo it could be a long wait

Liked Warm welcome, very clean and excellent toilet facilities. Beautiful spot, perfect for John OnGroats, Duncansby stacks and for Parkunners we easily made it to Thurso Parkrun. Campsite is very well looked after with pride by the owner. Good mobile signal- no need for WiFi.

Liked The lady who runs this is Absolutely lovely! My apologies for not remembering the ladies name, but she went out of her way to speak with us and has thought of everything to make a stay here comfortable. The facilities are very clean and a lot of effort has gone into the campsite. It's set in a nice quiet location, yet close to everything you need while travelling. Thank you for a lovely stay 😊

Laura S.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Stayed on this gorgeous little site for 1 night and the location amazing. There are roughly about 10 pitches, all kept very tidy and clean, some lovely little touches like picnic benches and a swingball set in the centre of the site. The shower and toilet cubicle were spotlessly clean! I would 100% recommend this site to anyone who is thinking of doing the NC500, who plan on staying in this area overnight.

Trish S.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Extremely quiet, clean, easy to get to and a lovely view. Only two pitches occupied.

Disliked Only one shower and toilet. Shower was not great, took ages to rinse my hair. If the site was busy this would be a huge problem with queuing for the toilet and shower.

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.
