  • 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.

Liked: The location was perfect for access to the coastal walks. Plenty of hot water in the showers. The showers were great it was just a shame that many of the locks in the toilets were inoperable.

Disliked: The site was in a poor state of repair. There were many locks in the gents and ladies toilets that were broken. The whole site looked tired and where there were flower beds they were clearly not being looked after. This was such a pitty as the site has a clear potential to be a real high standard. It was clearly not worth the site fees.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (premium)

Liked: Fantastic location. Close to beach with a stunning lighthouse view and sunsets.

Disliked: The site has just opened for the season but there were a number of coverings missing from toilets exposing the components underneath and meaning the flush wasn’t great. One of the hand dryers was broken and the showers were colder than lukewarm even after running the water. The electric fuses had flipped on my pitch and my neighbours but not too tricky to reset! Not what I expected given the ‘premium’ price paid. Cost to use WiFi was too expensive. I had work the next day, so could not partake in the activities.

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.
