What customers say
A gem run by the community! Praised for its cracking modern facilities and staff who'll bend over backwards. Lovely riverside spot, short stroll to Wick. Pitches are decent, but some thought the temporary loos needed a spruce-up (new ones on the way!). Cracking base for the NC500.

Great site, shop, new toilet&shower blocks.…
Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch
Liked Great site, shop, new toilet&shower blocks. Nice walk along river into Wick.
Disliked Pitches are quite close to one another.
Keep in mind the low bridge at the main entrance and the alternate route that you need to take if in an Motorhome along the river and park /playground narrow road.

Great site.
Electric gravel touring pitch (XL)
Liked One of the best sites I've stayed at. Phil & Christine, the Wardens, clearly take pride in their job, really helpful & approachable. Another guest, a regular, told me the site has been so much better since the current Wardens came. I'm sure the place wouldn't be the same without them.
Disliked My cable wasn't long enough to reach the hook-up point from my pitch, but easily resolved by the Warden, who lent me a longer one.
