Liked Toilets/Showers nice and clean, pitch was spacious, good central location

Disliked Tight to park in pitch and big rocks on ground to stop wheels going on grass made it hard to park

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks so much for your review — we’re really pleased you enjoyed the clean facilities, spacious pitch, and central location.

We’ve also noted your comment about the rocks. We’re not quite sure which pitch area you’re referring to, as we don’t have large rocks positioned on pitches themselves, so if you’re happy to, please do reach out to us directly so we can look into it and make sure everything is as it should be.

We’d love to welcome you back to Wick River Campsite again in the future.

What customers say

Fáilteachas cairdiúil, áiseanna nua-aimseartha den scoth, agus suíomh pictiúrlach ar bhruach na habhann. Páirceanna fairsing, glan. Mífheabhas beag ar iontráil mhalartach do charranna móra agus cianóg. Ar an iomlán, moladh mór agus mian filleadh.

Local attractions

Wick, of course, is the place to start – you can walk into the centre of town to visit the Wick Heritage Centre, grab a dram or two at Pulteney Distillery or head to the harbour to book a boat trip taking you out among the sea stacks and along the cliffs to see if you can spot seals, puffins and other marine life. Elsewhere along the coast, find the ruins of Castle of Old Wick (10 minutes’ drive) and Sinclair Girnigoe Castle (15 minutes), explore the intriguing stone creations at Hill O’ Many Stanes (15 minutes) or check out the natural rock formations at Whaligoe Steps (15 minutes) and Duncansby Stacks (25 minutes). Of course you can’t miss the opportunity to go up to the very north of Scotland to visit John O’Groats (25 minutes) and RSPB Dunnet Head (40 minutes). While you’re in the area, stop by at the 16th-century Castle & Gardens of Mey (half an hour) or take a detour to Reiss Sands (10 minutes) for a stroll among the dunes.
