  • Peaceful dog-friendly holiday park at a Moray coast fishing village
  • Walk to sandy beaches and forest trails in Roseisle Country Park
  • Adjacent to a beach; guests can use a pool 10 minutes’ drive away
Scouting for that one peaceful spot where all the family can take a break on Moray coast near Lossiemouth? Signed, stamped and sorted at Burghead Holiday Park, a peaceful holiday park in the Moray coast fishing village of Burghead. In these parts, you'll be able to go orca and dolphin spotting or birdwatching in the bay, and the Northern Lights are another frequent visitor during autumn… Dolphins, whales and aurora borealis aside, this holiday park has a few more special ingredients. There are no facilities on the park – just well-maintained grounds and lots of space to soak up that great outdoors – but it’s in a splendid location on the edge of Roseisle Country Park, a place where you can either follow forest trails or wander straight out onto the sandy beach (or combine a bit of both). When you fancy it, swap the peaceful setting for some slightly more lively scenes at Burghead Harbour, 10 minutes’ walk away. The village has shops, a pharmacy and an outdoor bowling club, as well Doorie Hill – the location for the Burning of the Clavie and the Pictish Fort. Following the coastal trail east on two wheels or two feet, Hopeman has lots more amenities and an 18-hole golf course (of course, teeing off is a must-do in Moray). While this is a thoroughly peaceful spot, a little extra entertainment (of the non-sandy kind) is on hand at the site’s sister park, Silver Sands Holiday Park, 10 minutes’ drive away – head here for free use of the swimming pool and to dine at the restaurant.

What customers say

Grand spot near a beach and forest. Staff are sound and the loos are spotless. Generally quiet and fair dos for the price. Some folk found it a bit disorganised, pitches were close, and you couldn't always find staff if you needed them.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Site location with a lovely beach a couple of minutes walk away.
Toilets and showers were lovely.

Disliked Received an email confirming booking, however, no information re pitch number or codes for toilets or booking in.
When we arrived reception was closed and we had not been informed of the opening hours. Had to ring an office number left on reception door and first person who answered had to put us on hold and ring another number. That number didn’t answer so she put us through to another person who was able to give us the pitch number.
Pitch numbers not clear at all, unless you happened to know they were in very small type on the electric hookups.
After we ended this call we found the toilets were locked and we had not been given the codes so had to get them from fellow campers.
We were told all this information should’ve been texted to my mobile - it was not.
Apart from this very poor organisation of booking in to the site there’s also the aspect of safety and security, as we could’ve been anyone driving in, pretending we had booked and no one would’ve been any the wiser! We stayed one night and not one person came to check we had booked and paid.
Very very poor service.
Complete lack of professionalism and efficiency re booking and welcome to site.
Got the impression that the company running the site were more interested in selling their holiday homes and did not care at all for those using the touring pitches.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Friendly staff. Nice walks from site. Close to beach and harbour. Showers are clean, good and hot. CDP and plenty of recycling bins. Lovely cafe on slipway to the beach. Excellent laundry facilities.

Disliked Pitches too close together if a caravan/motorhome has awning. Toilet doors slam. Hot taps stick on and can hear boiler running continuously. Seagulls swooping and attacking when walking past toilet block. No drive over grey waste.

Recommend to friends Visit again

We really enjoyed the area. Walks along the beach and woods.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Close to the beach in an historically interesting village with easy access to the Morayshire coast. Friendly staff. Shower and toilet facilities very clean and good. Quiet and peaceful site.

Disliked External toilet door bangs loudly when closes. Grass pitches were threadbare and worn....grass could be nicer. Pitch was a little bit small for our tent and car to be parked alongside. No WiFi

Local attractions

It’s not just the Moray Firth coast that has stunning scenery, so point your compass inland too. Characterful Elgin (15 minutes’ drive) has a number of distilleries, including Glen Moray Distillery (15 minutes), Gordon & MacPhail South Street (20 minutes) and Glen Elgin Distillery (25 minutes), most of which have open days for the public and whisky trails – and of course, there are the typical Scottish pubs, shops and restaurants to duck into too. If you’re here to get up close and personal with the waves, there’s a surf school at the east beach in Lossiemouth (20 minutes). With another beach on the other side of the harbour and sand dunes, get acquainted with the lush sand too. Golfers who like to tee off with terrific scenery can also get sea views from the holes on the Moray Golf Club, a links course alongside the west beach. RAF planes also swoop low over the course, adding an extra touch to the atmosphere.
